Player IP Ranges

[Golbez]

I can see problems already, what if you were hacked and someone changed your IP to his IP and you cannot log on? Where would this IP be set? How? Would a global adminastrator need to set it?

Then there is the question, What if my ISP changes?

Kinda off topic, like usual but whats the point of this whole thread? People can always hack you, maby "hack you" and not only that alot of people will have problems because of there ISP and other things. I dont think It would even work out.


::edit:: - I didnt mean to quote ur thread :P I was just relating too the whole thread.. k? k ::edit::

That would be the only safe way.

There are 4 levels 4s. Stefan, unixmad, Tyhm, and myself. Stefan and unixmad don't have the time and Tyhm and I cannot do this all by ourselves. Also, we have to keep the amount of level 4 RCs down to about this number so another Nemesis doesn't happen...

Well, I know this will not be put into effect because of, well just read the previous posts ^_^ But, if it was, hypothetically speaking, It would be another row in the database of accounts, they could just code a program, to go into the database, take the last ip thing that is all ready in the game, and have it copy over to the player ip range, but that can also cause problems for people who use routers, proxies, etc... So that'd still, be a lot of work...

What would happen if your IP changes though? Like you set it to one thing, and then you have an IP change, and you can no longer get into your own account? I think it's too much safety if you ask me.

If you just change your pass often (like a couple times a month) and you don't do stupid stuff like download trainers, then you should be fine.

Maybe make it so that you set your IP at your house before you even long on to graal, wouldnt that work?

Only the owner of the account should have the password to the account...so therefore there should be no reason to have this...People just dont "crack" the password on someones account...they have to be stupid enough to DL a trainer or give it out...Therefore it is their own fault

Koni, I can't change my pass a lot, I tried, but considering my global and my Debug/SDev account have ident passes, it would make it more difficult for me. I just set my comp up with a firewall and it doesn't save passes, I finally memorized this one, and almost got my spare acc memorized.

I would rather a scripting command be able to check IP's. Then you can have it warp etc. if the IP doesn't match. So many things,t hat's what I wanted.
if (actionplayeronline)
{ tokenize #i; //#i would be the IP;
if (!strequals(#p(0),#I(clientr.ip,0)))
{ setlevel2 bad_ip.nw,30,30;}
}
Something like that but better, I just made that quickly.

Arg, sorry for double posting, but this is on a dif thing someone posted here.

Graal has many insecurities, and yes you could have it copy over the old IP to your IP, but then you could also do a variety of things.
I THEORETICALLY could do it with RC where it would check the database, and instead of setting the string with the password you typed ina nd checking with the real password, it would take the real password and set it to the string, and then compare. And of course that would have the correct pass. But considering that no one has had the intelligence or the means to do so, then it isn't a big deal. What I'm talking is complicated coding and decoding, so 99% of people would never have a chance.

The problem with it being an npc, those *****s out there that get their passes stolen using trainers that can insert npc's into levels. Could they not counter-act the npc? Remove it even?
