Abusive use of clientside savelines etc.. >:[

IMPORTANT, read message beneath this PHP Code!

...

I am reporting this script, someone I know showed me the script,
when I tested it, it takes all of your content on the server and saves into
your scriptfiles in your graal folder.

If any globals, (or Skyld) see this, please take action!

** Removed some part, so if someone copies this, it won't work! **

If any globals wants to see the script, post a post or
forum pm me, and I'll pm the script.

Well.. the chat says 'backup' but yeah... that is pretty bad

I'm making a GUI-based backup system...but it only backs up what you have access to...

There was a string array containing what to 'backup', its quite bad,
I seriously think Globals should take action, something like this
is perfect for stealing playerworlds, all you need is NPC Control and
rights to one wnpcs and its done =/

Neat idea, if it was made to only backup things you have access to.

That would be good, or a built-in backup with the rc..
That only the admin acct could manage, they who made it; I don't think they were aware of what the script could do, or some server-stealing guy stole/made it..

Of course. I'm waiting on the new Client-RC / NPC server to get started on this.
But i like the idea of it being inbuilt into Client-RC. Hell, this could be a seperate option. You have rights to edit this but you also have rights to backup anything starting with your name... i might work on that =p

Also, this would become much much easier if i just lay back and let Skyld do all the work and take all the credit =p. Anyone who knows me knows i'm pretty damn lazy.

I think thats what the anti-graal noobies use when they want to backup a server's files to eventually distribute them.

[coreys]

Just more proof that graal isn't as secure as we'd like. =(

Good lord that version is VERY innefficient

Thats hardly abusive use anyways.

Releasing code that allows people to see how its used/mostly done is a poor choice.

People get many ways to steal things i dont see the big deal entirely this isnt new.

The script loads an array containing all folders,
it can load gfx, levels, scripts, npcs, classes, all that is in the folder config,
all needed is npc control and access to one wnpc >_>

Whats your point exactily?

Its just a quicker version of what people with level4 RC will eventually do anyways.

The abusive is, this can be done as an NAT or something like that, not an admin
with level4 rc.. Also its auto, just a chat command, so its faster, but also more
abusive then an admin lvl4 rc, since its easier getting admin with level 4 rc on a server, then a NAT.. Thats the point..

[Gambet]

What's the big deal exactly?

The same ways that it could be used for wrong, it could be used for right. It would save a server a butt load of time when it came to backing up files by simply doing this.

Besides, say someone does do this on your server and releases the content, so what? No other server can use it anyways, and if they do, you report it to the PWA and they'll have it removed.


Though, when you think about it, if everything you create becomes the proper of cyberjouers, then using other peoples scripts in another server wouldn't exactly be against any rules, since you arn't stealing anything from anyone, since you're simply using something that belongs to the game already in another place.


I love how the rules have so many loop holes, yet instead of the administration correcting them, they simply have a bunch of bozo's running around, enforcing rules that in themselves make very little sense.

Yeah, I am avoiding my ban to post this - my last forum account which I use for forum pming.. anyway. I be back in March btw.. calling your friend names is a 4 month ban.. quick tip =D

I made the script, me, being KuJi for Graal X. I later found over 150 versions of the scripts made to try going behind graal lines (all failed.. I think)

It only loads/saves ASCII - and whoever was using it must have gotten the script from else where.

And yeah, Stefan knows about it.

Oh yeah, I also plan to make a new version whichs backs up to the server.. though that can be abused too.. make a backup button in the admin panel then =p.. else I don't have 5 years to backup files for ONE DAY when I can do it in 15 min =D

Think about what you just said here and try to tell me how that translates into =>

since its easier getting admin with level 4 rc on a server, then a NAT.. Thats the point..

what does it matter at all then if in the end you get the content?

This isnt abuse its simply ease of use. If people are hiring people who can do this, thats a risk they have to take.

Also the first version was made by Silent, and is leagues more effective [looking at least] in the code (har joey).
