Title: Secret servers protections Post by: siremi on April 10, 2009, 06:30:32 PM - the protections now update randomly between the min - max of the mega-corp research on protections - each protection can be from 0.2 - max researched - protection version can be different, for example V 1.0 Firewall Protection and V 10.0 Passwd Protection This update is mostly for newbie access to secret servers prior to the Faction Project.

Action Sel #ID Type Name Version Size Download 96558 Firewall Protect Basic Firewall Protect [public] 2.36 177.00 Mb Download 96559 Password Protect Basic Password Protect [public] 11.92 1.01 Gb although newbies might start getting annoyed with the version changes without server resets example server spawns with v2 and v11 newbie cracks it starts to delete file takes 48 hours 12 hours later the server decides to switch its protections to v25 and v30 36 hours later newbies timer comes up - cant login and complete his mission Title: Re: Secret servers protections Post by: siremi on April 10, 2009, 06:54:39 PM Another update: - max protections on the secret servers are set to V 5.0 - higher files can still spawn according with mega-corp research, but the protections are no longer set that high - the higher version firewall bypass and pass crack files that randomly spawn on public servers are also set to max V 5.0 Title: Re: Secret servers protections Post by: Triadian on April 10, 2009, 07:07:41 PM Another update: - max protections on the secret servers are set to V 5.0 - higher files can still spawn according with mega-corp research, but the protections are no longer set that high - the higher version firewall bypass and pass crack files that randomly spawn on public servers are also set to max V 5.0 so if i read that right anyone with a v5 cracker and bypasser can crack every secret server ?

Yeah, eventually once all the secret servers upgrade. We are trying to make the secret servers more accessible so they can serve as a good battleground for the Factions update. Title: Re: Secret servers protections Post by: Triadian on April 11, 2009, 04:05:13 AM with the secret servers being between 0.0 and 5.0 would it be an idea to change the crack times so that 5.0 takes 1 hour ?
something like version * 12 = minutes to crack this would mean that
Edit: tables need some borders and backgrounds :P Title: Re: Secret servers protections Post by: siremi on April 11, 2009, 11:15:17 PM with the secret servers being between 0.0 and 5.0 would it be an idea to change the crack times so that 5.0 takes 1 hour ? something like version * 12 = minutes to crack this would mean that
Edit: tables need some borders and backgrounds :P yeah, that's an interesting idea. The secret servers will be from 0.2 - 5.0, all random and fire may differ from pass Title: Re: Secret servers protections Post by: Araeus on April 12, 2009, 05:06:49 AM with the secret servers being between 0.0 and 5.0 would it be an idea to change the crack times so that 5.0 takes 1 hour ? something like version * 12 = minutes to crack this would mean that
Edit: tables need some borders and backgrounds :P I think a more useful change would be to factor in the breaker version versus the protect version to get the crack time, with time maxing out at an hour and minimum of 10 minutes (5 minutes if they aren't running any protects) Title: Re: Secret servers protections Post by: virus man on April 13, 2009, 06:42:10 PM with the secret servers being between 0.0 and 5.0 would it be an idea to change the crack times so that 5.0 takes 1 hour ? something like version * 12 = minutes to crack this would mean that
Edit: tables need some borders and backgrounds :P Being as 1.0 takes an hour to crack and that is the cap on time to crack per Titam then the 5.0 would already take an hour to crack.

You can't even protect yourself against any attacks then, even when your online. Unless you already have IP Change / Change Pass running..

You can't even protect yourself against any attacks then, even when your online. Unless you already have IP Change / Change Pass running.. how will the crack time change this ? unless there is a way to know your being attacked - you would need a ip change or pass change running anyway as you dont know your being attacked until they have cracked anyways ?

If you are actively watching your logs like Donn doesn't do, cough cough, then you can change your PW which then require a 1 hour crack vs a 20 minute refresh on PW Change. |
