Title: server admin
Post by: bontrose on December 08, 2009, 03:08:18 PM
you should be able to give someone access to your server say in case they need software but you don't want it on your public ftp

Good suggestion, but think bigger .... why not this:

Server owner can enable or disable remote access on his gateway (on each gateway seperately in case he owns more then 1).

If this option is enabled then it will allow someone you've asked to control your gateway to use it as one of his own e.g. also do things only localhost can do (change IP, change password, destroy virii, kill remotehost tasks).

Now for the good part: this can also be exploited by others. All they'd need is a tool to scan a certain IP range for gateways with remote access enabled and there they go.

Extra feature I just thought of: gateway owner can specify IP addresses who he will allow remote access. If someone wants to exploit remote access and he is not in that list then he will have to use password breaker.

Sounds interesting. Would be great to use for those who want their servers watched while they go on vacation and, with Ivan's suggestion, it wouldn't be another god mode situation.

Yeah it'd be nice to be able to give remote admin the same way you can with group servers, I dont see why not, its my gateway i should be able to let who i want in without having to drop my defense.

But only if it's exploitable in some way, else it's just a god mode.

What I mean is that if this feature's only purpose is to allow another player to watch your gateway then it's abusable.

For example: people can give admin rights to a group member in another timezone who will watch the gateway when they're offline. This'll make it only harder to perform PvP actions.

this scenario could easily be prevented by the admin rights only working after 24hours offline time

I don't think so really, some processes can't be killed on remotehost such as virus installs or uploads, so if someone was to watch your gateway using admin rights, they can only do so much such as closing delete processes or downloads, so it sort of balances itself out, Ive tried letting people in my group crack me to finish a download before, it just doesn't work most the time, you can't rely on people  :21:

other people cant finish your downloads or any other process you started

Yes they can finish downloads.

I don't know about that but if i had a Download Password Protect [Complete]
Someone can then log in to my gateway hit complete and finish it for me, because i've done it, then stole what they downloaded ;D

Uploads however are a different story
I think only downloads work like that


Title: Re: server admin
Post by: bontrose on March 21, 2010, 05:19:12 PM
w/ downloads you have the file you are just completing it

w/ uploads the gateway would need to re connect to the victim server and w/ u doing it it is either them or the victim

I'm pretty sure I've finished someone's research in the past round...  and had to pay for it.

Nah, tried that one, would be lol though, could help each othe rpay for research then share it out
I'd expect more wisdom from Original gangsters!

Might also be quite exploitable with multiple accounts.


Title: Re: server admin
Post by: ãłþħά-∆9 on March 23, 2010, 05:35:16 AM
No more exploitable than dropping defense, cracking it in 5 minutes and putting it back up, all it's doing is skipping the defense dropping part


Title: Re: server admin

delta has a point


Title: Re: server admin
Post by: Exousia on March 23, 2010, 06:25:28 PM
Yeah, but you can't use one account to complete another account's research, thereby violating the ToS by using one account to benefit another, etc. That's what I'm talking about.


Title: Re: server admin
Post by: ãłþħά-∆9 on March 23, 2010, 08:04:29 PM
Oh, that wasn't an idea or anything that was just Brok lying about logging into someones servers and paying for their research
(either that or the game was lol in round one)


Title: Re: server admin
Post by: Exousia on March 23, 2010, 09:33:59 PM
Eh? There was some lol in round 1, yes, but nothing like that, granted I arrived a few months into it, however.  :laugh:

I was under the impression that the LOL was a separate issue, but that it had been suggested that it was something which should be implemented, so I'm doubly off track if that's not the case. Ah, well...  :16:


Title: Re: server admin

Title: Re: server admin
Post by: Brok Ironfist on March 24, 2010, 07:16:16 PM
No... Wasn't lying.

Just thought I did.  I remember completing something and having to either paying HPD or AP for it.  I thought it was research that I did it too... Probably trying to steal their file. 

As I said below, "I'm pretty sure I finished it..."
