[maths] Yeah, I suppose.
I just did the following:
-+ Assume 7h/week for the average normal account use (2h each week-end day, 1h every other working day). -+ Assume 164.5h/week for the 23.5/7 accounts (because that's what it comes out to). -+ Assume 20k trials active and futzing around on the server in addition to the 500k subscribed accounts (because, hey, optimism). -+ Take 39k average online (from eve-offline.com) for 168h/week or 6,552,000 account-hours per week.
Solve: 7x + 164.5(520,000-x)*= 6,552,000 (where x = normal accounts) GåÆ 501,511 normal-use subscribed accounts (of which 20k are trials), 18,489 all-hour accounts. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

You know, it really doesn't mean much to point out "an insatiable need to be correct" when that person actually IS correct. This is the middle of the work day here in the states, so numbers should be pretty low right now. Quick, somebody log in and tell us how many are on... as I'll admit I don't normally log on in one of the slower periods for EvE. I log on during the evening New Zealand Time, and I've never seen less than 25k on Tranquility. Even if I stay up late on a work day and log on after downtime (midnight NZT). |

The only people that should worry about such numbers are the game companies and their investors. For a player there should be only two things to worry about:
1. Are you enjoying yourself? 2. Can you afford the sub?
If no to either then you should probably just leave. |

I have to agree. They make things that should evolve risk nearly risk free. We should get a hacking skill worth its name to actually track down alts to their masters. Got scammed? Follow the money flow till you find the instigators. (don-¦t forget to include trades, etc into the logs) |

No reliable way of counting people?
Ok welcoming to databases:
GET * FROM users WHERE creditcard = "3333"
GET * FROM users WHERE address = ""
GET * FROM users WHERE anything = "anything"
If you fill your account information out wrong, you are in violation of the EULA and you can be banned for that..... How do you think eve knows how to ban all the players alt accounts of needed?
The fact you think eve does not have a pretty good idea of the amount of players that player their game is laughable to say the least. As a former DBA for an mmo, I can say you are so wrong that its comical.

Once again you are wrong... there are absolutely a metric **** ton of ways to achieve this, but its obvious that you are not a developer so I am going to just end here and walk away..
Learn 2 Code, then come back and talk to us :)
I can think of about 15 ways, that we used to identify if players held multiple accounts or not...
Hell there has been ways to tell sense back when MUDs were the only type of online gaming there was..

Easyly
1.) Translate IP to domain mask
2.) Use domain mask to pin point household
3.) Do a database query for every account in that house hold
4.) Separate database logs via mac addresses and you have the individual computers with in the household
So this is the easy part.. here we have a list of accounts, that could be one persons or could be multiples of people in the house hold. So things get a little tricky at this point, and the way my former company did it (with about 98% success rate)
5.) We took a chat log from a player for 15 days, and then ran more database queries on the chat logs, to look for commonly misspelled words across those accounts.
See what your narrow mind is forgetting, is that just because we act under animosity here on eve. Our habits do not change, the way we spell words the way that we structor sentences, and the words we use are all reflected across our alts.
Sure if you try to do a query like this all across eve's database it wont return ****, but after you narrow it down based on house hold.. its cake to see which accounts are owned by specific people.
It is also the same way that you look to see if someone is "Sharing an account".....
It was called project "Habitating Habits" where I worked....
You are foolish and narrow sighted, but don't worry maybe one day one of YOUR GUESSES will come up correct.
Ohh and other things you can look for:
When accounts login What accounts area already logged when that account logs in Player trades and contracts
Do you need more answers? Because I have more... I just don't really feel like typing them out if you are just going to give me a lame one word response.... |

Please show me what an IP address scrambler is? I think you mean spoofer, and they will still cause the IP to translate to your host domain...
Its why if you get ip banned and you change your ip.. your still banned......
Proxies also still trace back to your IP addres... please look up "traceroute" and what it does......

Multiple IP address still translate to the same host domain....
IP addresses can not be spoofed at the socket level because they are gotten from your first hop ISP not from the client side.... spoofing an IP works for a website but not for client sockets...
The metric was measured by us at the company after we did a survy of about 45k subscribers.
Further more you skipped completely out on the real area and just touched on the parts you could make an argument about. My data is far more reliable then yours because anyone with google or wiki can look it up and see.
A warrant does not do anything but cause a company or ISP to have to release their logs to the government agency.
You find this information out like you find all information out, you look for patterns and habits, for both the technology and the people. Further more we all know that eve has the ability to tell how many clients are running on a computer at one time. Hense why you can't be logged into a trial account and a subbed account at the same time....
So unless people are account sharing its easy to say that if two accounts are logged in under the same computer at the same time (or have been even one time in the past) then they are owned by the same person.

The reason for this assessment comes from looking at my household: three accounts over six MACs over three IPs, with rather wildly differing log-on times and no chatlogsGǪ how many persons does that translate to?
Three accounts, means at most 3 people... I would have to have access to the EVE database to tell you any more then that. I am not saying I can do it right now, but I AM saying that the people at CCP are smart enough to have figured it out...
We did it with a little old 75 man team and an operating budget of only around 3m a year. If we could do it, CCP can most def do it :)

Unless they're independently communicating MACs back from client machines (which seems unlikely, given Team Sec's presentation at FF stating they will ONLY be looking at the Eve client), a MAC address does not work this way. Unlike the originating IP, the originating MAC is not preserved between point A and point B, unless points A and B happen to be topologically adjacent. |

I highly doubt they are not logging the mac address of the adapter that is connected to the eve server.. this would be insane not to....
However, even if they are not.... then there are other ways to say which computer on a netowrk is feeding them data:

Anyway,
Good luck guys, I am done defending technology that is already in place just so some people can feel like they are more under the radar then they really are. |

"When it does, IP Scrambler hides or masks your computers assigned IP Address and then issues it a false IP Address that can not be linked to your computer. That false IP Address contains the important information needed, by your computer, to interact with the Internet, but it does not contain the link back to your computer that hackers and malware need."

Defying wrote:Proxies also still trace back to your IP addres... please look up "traceroute" and what it does...... There are mullings about the legality of traceroutes given that it allows people to access the information (however basic) of another's computer. To date, there has been no court case dealing with this (yet)... however most universities and colleges ban the practice and will expel you if you are found using it (on the grounds of "hacking"). Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Unless they're independently communicating MACs back from client machines (which seems unlikely, given Team Sec's presentation at FF stating they will ONLY be looking at the Eve client), a MAC address does not work this way. Unlike the originating IP, the originating MAC is not preserved between point A and point B, unless points A and B happen to be topologically adjacent/occupying the same subnet. Even if they are independently communicating them back, a MAC is not a reliable identifier.

...they would be insane not to log a piece of information that is completely meaningless to them? Really?
Also, I'm pretty sure Eve doesn't use IPX; is this the baffle 'em with bullshit strategy?
There are some rock solid fingerprinting techniques, but they require collecting a lot more data than CCP needs to collect for any legitimate purpose. That said, the fact that you're referencing IPX packet structure instead of those techniques leads me to believe that your expertise is somewhat less than you are implying.

It sure as **** will not bust you out from behind a proxy. Proxies are not infallible, but I'm pretty sure I know who I'm talking to, now. |
