Trust List Analysis - Alt Account Identification

[dogie]

Following on from the Trust list visualisations thread and the ethics consultation thread, I've decided to release the analysis of a tool which may be able to identify multiple accounts which belong to the same owner. While some of the results are statistically significant, this should still only constitute one piece of evidence of a link between accounts.

The methodology is less important than the output, which can be confirmed and visualised manually.

• The addition of "DefaultTrust" is excluded and not counted
• Trust lists with only "DefaultTrust" (unedited) are not included
• The polarity of ratings is taken into account
• Certain users like KWH have giant trust lists and so they break the system a bit. Should be excluded

Along with potentially linked accounts, the list below has 2 numerical metrics attached:

• Complexity: A measure of how complicated the trust lists being looked at are. The scale is a bit weird in this version, starting at 0.3 for 1 item and going up by 0.3 for each additional item
• Similarity: A measure of how similar trust lists between the users are. 1.0 = identical lists, anything below 0.8 is discarded for now but there are many positive results from this range to be reviewed later.

Below is a highly filtered list of the first batch of information. Notes:

• I may provide a dump of all information at some point (100s and 100s of matches), but I want to be sure this won't be used to witchhunt the low probability links.
• The below was manually checked however weird ones might still have gone through.
• Based off 12th Sept trust dump, simply because its the one I already had loaded. Results are unlikely to change.
• Data isn't being spat out in a nice form so formatting will look meh for now. I'll add in some of my other table codes in time.
• The current version outputs in pairs, and so a 3+ way identification would appear as A|B, B|C over two lines
• Manually moved blocks of names together
• Each name in the trust list denominated with an &

Visualisation of the 1st and 2nd batches of names:

• Red'er names = larger potential alt network
• blue'er = smaller protential alt network
• Red edges (joining lines) = stronger trust list association
• blue = weak trust list association

I won't post in the other thread to say that I support this (since it would be a useless post) and you've already posted the tool. The analysis and system used is actually very interesting to say at least. This might also be the tipping stone in some cases where it was already 'probable' that X was alt of Y.

Trust lists with only "DefaultTrust" (unedited) are not included

Let me get this straight, so users without edited lists are completely excluded? I used to have an alt (I doubt that anyone besides an admin even knew about it) with a unedited list. This means that you could to identify that account as my probable alt, correct?

[Shield]

The question is how accurate this analysis is?
it may get some legit users in problem also, how it was done and what is its accuracy

It's simply a tool. I doubt that any real alt-finding will be on the sole basis of this proof; it'll be more like another small evidence bit that accompanies more substantial proof.

From what I understand, if your alt has an unedited list (just DefaultTrust in it), then the tool will exclude your alt.

Yeah I think that's the main use of this. "Hmm just scambusted that guy, lets see if he could still be floating about".

I could NOT identify your alt if it had just "DefaultTrust" in its trust list. Accounts with an unedited trust list aren't included in the trustlist dump Theymos provides.

As I said in the other thread, the methodology isn't important on this one as you can do a human check across the two trust lists (I've added a shortened version alongside). Its as accurate as you want it to be and could be entirely useless in some cases but pretty strong in others.

Interesting and watching

[dooglus]

Along with potentially linked accounts, the list below has 2 numerical metrics attached:

• Complexity: A measure of how complicated the trust lists being looked at are. The scale is a bit weird in this version, starting at 0.3 for 1 item and going up by 0.3 for each additional item
• Similarity: A measure of how similar trust lists between the users are. 1.0 = identical lists, anything below 0.8 is discarded for now but there are many positive results from this range to be reviewed later.

Do you consider incoming trust as well as outgoing?

If someone is 'farming' trust, they will probably be leaving positive trust on multiple alts at a time. Recognising such patterns could maybe make your tool stronger.

No it doesn't although its worth remembering this is trust lists, not trust ratings. Being trusted by multiple people is hard to factor in although it could be used as an end stage check to see if accounts are cross trusting each other.

For the time being I'll be working on visualisation and automation of the interpretation so I don't have to manually review 1,000s of them.

[!! pop]

re. "Data isn't being spat out in a nice form so formatting will look meh for now. I'll add in some of my other table codes in time."
You mentioned using Excel to generate this? If so, could you dump/export this to Google Docs, formulas & all?  

[shorena]

Just to make sure we are on the same page. This is a measure how similar peoples trust lists are as well as a measure how large (as in complex) the average trust list between the two is. complexity(A,B) := [Count(A)*.3 + Count(B)*.3] / 2

It does however not - assuming here, please correct me if Im wrong - take into account how likely it is for someone to end up on a given trust list in the first place. From the trust.txt I downloaded just a few minutes ago I see that - as expected - certain users are more often on someones list than others. You have a top list for this as well IIRC in your other thread. E.g. theymos is on 170 different trust lists, dogie on 34.

I also cant follow the premise that a person would use an identical (or very similar) trust list over multiple accounts.

To sum it up, what makes you draw the conclusion that similarity of trust lists has anything to do with alt accounts?

re. "Data isn't being spat out in a nice form so formatting will look meh for now. I'll add in some of my other table codes in time."
You mentioned using Excel to generate this? If so, could you dump/export this to Google Docs, formulas & all?  

I meant that the final data the analysis spits out isn't neccesarily interpretable or useful for humans straight away and requires a significant amount of post processing. Turning it from Excel into forum code isn't a problem, I have plenty of translators from my PSU / company table based guides I can reuse.

There's quite a lot of manual work and some Excel only add-ons which would prevent Google Doc replication, but results could be published there. I'm still reluctant to dump a raw list without forcing a 'reasonable' interpretation on the information, I don't want this list to be weaponised.

Just to make sure we are on the same page. This is a measure how similar peoples trust lists are as well as a measure how large (as in complex) the average trust list between the two is. complexity(A,B) := [Count(A)*.3 + Count(B)*.3] / 2

The closest thing you'll find to this is the Jaccard index.

You take two sample sets. You count the attributes shared by both samples (call this Z). You count the attributes observed in only one sample (call this X). You then count the attributes observed in only the other sample (call this Y). Finally, you can calculate the similarity index by using the three counts in this operation: Z / (Z+X+Y).

It does however not - assuming here, please correct me if Im wrong - take into account how likely it is for someone to end up on a given trust list in the first place.

It does not, that's why I'm manually screening anything I release at the moment, there are plenty of "strong correlation" results I filtered out because they're common results. Depending on how much time I invest in this, I may filter out some of the top people altogether.

I also cant follow the premise that a person would use an identical (or very similar) trust list over multiple accounts.

They do, because for anyone not in DefaultTrust (99% of people), the only utilisation for their trust list is to show who's ratings they want to see. And regardless of which account they're using those preferences generally remain constant.

To sum it up, what makes you draw the conclusion that similarity of trust lists has anything to do with alt accounts?

Past experience.

Channeling my inner Techshare


Okay so now you've basically proven there are people abusing the DT, what's next?


Are you going to next tell us that people are wrongfully removed from DT because they speak out against injustice?

P.S.  Excellent work Dogie.

Thanks for that.

Which could be argued to bring in bias since it relies on your perspective and past experiences.

It did not for Quickseller and the (now known) alt, just to name one example of someone with a hidden alt and a highly modified trust list.

There are different ways to get the same result and only the direct copy would be noticable by your reasearch. Additionally for those that actively try to hide their alts its very easy to manipulate their list in such a way that they no longer end up over 0.8 or any other limit for that matter.
