Title: Secondary Accounts
Post by: Tiak on July 12, 2008, 04:47:18 AM
Basically right now, everyone on every PC in the world is running as admin, this seems somewhat strange to me, so I propose secondary account system, for logins other than admin, could be added to allow people to share limited account access with friends/allies.
-For secondary accounts to exist at all, the owner of the server would have to add an account name to one of their servers.  Once it was added, the listed player could log in as that account.  This would allow people a more convenient means to give friends access to their stuff.
-Secondary accounts would have lesser permissions to admin accounts, they would not be able to view/edit logs at all, they would not be able to kill any process started by the admin account, and they would not be able to delete any admin files.  You would still not be able to bounce through a server without admin access.
-On the other hand, secondary accounts would not leave logs themselves, would be free to download/upload whatever, and can kill/delete things started by any secondary account.
-Secondary accounts could be cracked, but only if the name an account holder was known.  In that case, this cracking would take 1/4 the time required for a normal account.  The bypasser/breaker requirements would not be lessened.
-An account (with the name in the server description) could be added to the starting truelights to make things easier on new players (quick crack times getting started, and no logs to give them a bit of safety.
-Cracking admin when one already possesses lesser account access and is logged in as such would also take only a portion of the time normally required, and would not require bypassing the firewall, but would leave a log when it was started and would have a running process on the server being attacked.

Good/Horrible?

I like this idea. :)

Just don't make them invisible in logs. A guest account's actions should be logged like all others. If this is implemented, it would also be cool to allow/disallow some actions (log viewing, uploads, downloads, etc.).

Ai, I think disallow ability on uploading virii should be possible too. Since that'd be quite a backstab otherwise  :confused2:

If this prevents bouncing, ability to run software, etc then yeah it would work.  You could also just create a Private FTP as well.

or use a server with no in/out connections

I believe this is a great idea except that instead of them not leaving log or leaving logs, how about a compromise? How about that the secondary account has logs all they're own? They could also have access to certain files only and would require authorization from an admin to upload a file.

just make your files public instead

if you want to make them accessible by only just a select few hackers, then just make them public for a short amount of times so that they can initiate the downloads and then make them private again

there shouldn't be any logs from there left if they are public then when they download it from there

Someone could happen upon the software while its public. I happen upon public files all the time.
