Extension:AntiSpoof

AntiSpoof is an extension for preventing confusable usernames from being created.

Install

 * 1) Download the *.php, equivset.ser and the patch-antispoof.sql from SVN (if you're using command-line based SVN, do  in the extensions directory
 * 2) Upload the files to the extensions directory.


 * 1) Add  to LocalSettings.php
 * 2) Run  from the command line (see also here)
 * Alternatively, import patch-antispoof.sql into the database. (Keep TYPE=InnoDB because the key is more than MySQL can handle)

Note: equivset.ser is set to null

Username "Exampla" will be created and regardless if username "Example" is in the database. However, Login error: "??=?" (special characters ) is not allowed to prevent confusing or spoofed usernames: Contains unassigned or deprecated character. Please choose another name.

You could dump this table in and at your own risk!
