Thread: How do you manage your tracker accounts?

  1. #1

    How do you manage your tracker accounts?

    We've seen threads about ratio statistics, highest buffer and now I'm proposing a more technical thread:

    Tracker Management

    1. How do you keep track of your trackers? If yes, specify where do you store them.
    2. Do you also keep track of your banned accounts?
    3. How much information do you keep (last ip / mac used / browser used etc.)

    If it's something custom (example: a database of some sort) please make a screen shot.

    Me:
    1. Yes. Access database.
    2. Yes.
    3. User/Email/Profile Link/Passkey/MAC/Browser/Country



    I built this myself last year. It generates username, password, email automatically and returns the current mac address and country.
    It's not intended for collection but for knowing which emails, browsers, country and mac address were last used.

    Hope this will receive some replies and not be a one-man post.

    Impressive! I'm to lazy for such thing. I remember my passwords and usernames, if in case I forget I just reset it

    I use a KeePass database, hidden in some obscure directory in my hard drive.

    I used to, but what's the point? An account I can't use no longer exists as far as I'm concerned.

    3. How much information do you keep (last ip / mac used / browser used etc.)
    Site name, username, password (obviously), site URL, registered e-mail, custom notes (for example, invites I've taken from their PU forums) when necessary.

    I do the same, especially notes on how i got in (useful for gauging how valuable an account is, based on how many other accounts are risked when 1 gets banned). However, i store the database inside my Dropbox, which gets synced to all my devices. I've also started to upload it to Google Drive every few days to keep another backup.

    MySQL DB with PHP frontend.

    I store everything needed for authentication, plus some additional details.
    Of the banned ones, I only store the "tricky" ones, so I won't use the same email again anywhere.

    Password database aren't something I'd upload to "the cloud" - you never know when something might happen and- OK, I'm making our tracker manager feature look bad now

    I also try not to log in outside my home. If I ever have a problem, the account will have a tidy, non-fickle IP history and that's nice.

    You don't log that information to simply log in from now and then. It is used to tell what emails/mac/location were used at that tracker. How do you know what emails were associated with your banned accounts if you don't do this?

    LE. does anyone know of good name generator from games (like warcraft characters)? I need it as an executable if it exists.

    I use a separate e-mail address for each account. When I'm banned, I delete the mailbox as well. MAC, never changed them; location, it's always at home as I pointed out above.

    I also use Keepass to keep my password and information about sites I visit. About emails, if I will have one account I register the email I use, else I create a new one temporarily and delete him after registration :) And I don't keep track of banned accounts.

    That must be an impressive list. One email for each tracker.
    I have them randomly distributed in my gmail accounts but I never use the same email again (on the same site).

    MAC, never changed them.
    But isn't what.cd banning MAC addresses if caught cheating (I learned this from a 2011 chat with them on their IRC)? Suppose this happens and you don't know.

    I'm using keepass portable for my usb stick. Haven't been able to create an xml with the custom fields I want to insert.
    Made a querry to exaport to xml but I have to use keepass's default column names.

    It used to be. Now I'm a member on relatively few trackers.

    I personally think the whole MAC address thing is a myth. I've had many dupes on that place in the past using the same MAC, and nothing ever happened, having taken the other appropriate measures. Now I'm no longer a member on What.cd and I don't wish to be ever again, nor do I cheat anywhere else, so it doesn't really matter to me.

    1. a simple .txt file (with occasional backups)
    2. no
    3. usually just the basics (user, pass, email)
