People not happy with the hour-long cracks? laugh

Maybe a worm virus that forces the door open for access by a specified IP instead? Sounds a bit exploitable otherwise.

Well, if we manage to steal a password on someones server shouldn't we get the password?

Yes! Every time someone cracks a server in Hacker Project everyone else in the game gets the password! [/sarcasm]

Nice of you to set the bar so low for this game.

No, he gets that there would be nothing stopping everyone to share everything all at once en mass thereby negating the need for cracking any server as someone from Omnicron could easily grant someone from Icarus full access to Omnicron servers by virtue of the fact that the Omnicron player does not need them and can pass the passdata off to the Icarus player and him to a Hakuza player and so on ad infinitum.

Yeah, I understood what he got. 

Players don't get the passcodes to their own faction.  They are just granted admin rights to them currently.  That is proven by the fact that when you change factions you loose any admin rights you had to servers that you didn't break before attaining that server.  I switch factions a lot  laugh and did much testing to prove that theory.  I was hoping that I could keep admin rights for the those servers upon switching.  But that wasn't the case.  I did keep admin rights to the servers that I did hack prior to switching to the faction, though.

I was thinking that a player would only be able to hand out the passwords to other players (hopefully they'd be doing it to their own group) for those that they personally cracked themselves.

As part of this.  The system could cause password resets much quicker instead of only at the half-way-point.    Maybe even every few days.  This would encourage players to cooperate with their group much more.  It would also allow players to complete the 'crack a secret server' mission more often.

That's an interesting idea.  Perhaps we have a few types of Password attacks.

Password Bypass:  It basically sneaks past the system and you have ADMIN access for that one entry.  It would require direct connect to the server, no bouncing.  Much quicker and easier but no permanent access.

Password Cracker: Dictionary type attack that would eventually return a password that can be shared.  Percentage based along the lines of something like you need double the version of the password protect in order to get 100%.  so a 20.0 breaker would give you a 100% of password against a 10.0 protect.  Process can take up to six hours to complete, instead of 60 minutes?

Password Breaker:  Current version.  You get ADMIN, but not the password.

There we go.

There really are more ways to get into a system than uncovering passwords. Passwords and account information are, by far, the best way to do it and the least detectable but the most time consuming. You have to know your target.

Backdoors and holes in firewalls are other ways, that's why Microsuck sends out all those security patches every four minutes. They can be fixed, but there are more.
