Security

[Admins]

As well as adding new features; we also improved security.

It is possible now to use long passwords (up to 23 characters) which contain less cryptic characters and are easier to remember, while still being secure enough due to their length.

To deal with players who steal passwords from other players, it is now possible to ban players based on an assigned "computer id", so that they will not be able to login, no matter which account they use.

Also, servers are not sending the full script to the client anymore; instead it is only sending the compiled byte code, so it is harder for clients to steal or modify scripts. Finally, clients are not able to compile the scripts themselves, as all the logic behind that is now on the server and so more secure.

• Clients cannot see scripts anymore, and cannot compile scripts
• Longer passwords allowed
• Players can be banned by a "computer id"

Hrm, is computer id the same as HardDrive ID? I thought it was illegal to send those things over the internet.

We will not give detail about the security identification But we are not sending private information just a checksum.

I think it's better this way, it'll stop the hackers.
