>IIS is not a bigger problem than any other web server.
*cough cough* Do some research pal... What are we up to now...Arround 300 patches for IIS??!? And you're trying to say Apache isn't any better.... umm. ok.... My main point i'm going to argue is this... Code Red and Nimda: affected linux machines running Apache: 0 affected windows machines running Apache: minimal - apahce rejects the malformed URL as 404 errors affected windows machines running IIS: countless - many patches needed to plug holes made visible by these Steve Gibson of GRC.com is right... raw sockets in XP are a hand delivered invatation for DDoS attacks. People say he's wrong b/c no one good enough has written a virus for it.

I'm no mac user.. However, since you say you can remove extensions (like
DLL's) to tune your apps on a mac. I'd recommend not playing around with your system DLL files (on a windows machine) too much ;-) A little programming info.. DLL stands for Dynamic Linked Library. When you write code for windows it is inherently complex. To simplify things programmers came up with the idea of "libraries". A library is simply a collection of reusable code. For example, in C++ (the defacto / arguable best high level language) you can include things like "sting.h", "math.h" and "stdlib.h". All of which are prewritten chunks of code designed to help accomplish a specific task. The string.h file makes available several functions for the handling of strings (a string, in programming, is any set of characters set off by quotation marks) The math.h file holds many functions for doing advanced math (roots, square roots, powers, squares, trig, log, calculus, etc..). And finally stdlib.h holds many standard functions that just come in handy for different things. The magic comes when you actually make your program from your code (compiling). The compiler you use (CodeWarrior, MS Visual C++, etc) has to change your C++ code into assembler and then into hex code so the computer can execute it. In the process of doing this it has to "link" the libraries to the code. There are two ways of "linking": static and dynamic. When a library is statically linked the compiler includes the library in with the program. The library essentially becomes part of the program. The result is usually one ".exe" file. When a program is dynamically linked the library is compiled separately and placed into a DLL file. The result being one ".exe" file and (usually) several ".dll" files. When the operating system executes (runs) your program it has to load the libraries in one way or another. If they are statically linked then they are loaded when the program code is loaded, and stay loaded until the program is exited (and possibly beyond). A dynamically linked library is not necessarily loaded when the program is loaded. Windows dynamically loads the library whenever it determines the program needs to use it, and can unload it after the program is finished using it. This way frees up memory, and is supposed to offer some performance boosts. Thus, removing DLL files under windows, like removing extensions on a mac, is not really possible. Your program will not run without all it's DLL files. (As I imagine you've found out once or twice before with those nasty little "Missing file blah.dll" messages) Hope I've explained it pretty well. As was previously said... Best thing to do is get a GForce 4 and a gig of ram.. hope for the best. ;-) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker JTech Web Systems (www.JTechWebSystems.com -- Coming Soon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [View Quote] World redownloadingMar 11, 2002, 1:37am

What the hell are you talking about? The passwords are encrypted every step
of the way. The only way to get them is with brute for cracking (a program to guess the password). Which, takes forever unless you have a supercomputer. Needless to say, someone didn't get 53 of them by that method. It takes an ungodly amount of time just to get one. That only leaves a few other options. First, what you're saying is totally false. Second, the password was intercepted between the world server and client, or vice versa. The password must be sent from the world server to the client, so the client can unzip the rwx files. This, however, is also encrypted.... The only other way is if someone was actully good enough to compromise a few servers and get an atdump. But I presume even *that* stores the password encrypted... Next time, make sure something is at least *reasonable* before you post....... -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker JTech Web Systems (www.JTechWebSystems.com -- Coming Soon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [View Quote] Is It PosibleApr 3, 2002, 12:12am
A while back I wrote a post about this....
..htaccess files use a part of the HTTP protocol to issue a username/password challenge. Your browser (e.x. Internet Explores, Netscape) knows how to accept this challenge (and display the appropriate dialogue asking for the info), and how to reply with the correct information. The server looks at the browser's reply, and decides (by comparing the info you gave to the encrypted version that is stored on the server) to grant or deny access to the requested file. The AW browser does not know how to do either of these, and therefore would fail to access a directory which is protected with a .htaccess file... I'm not sure what andras is working on (see previous post by "silenced"), however I'm very curious. Roland may also have something up his sleeve to solve this problem. What we need is some way for a server to identify the AW browser, so it can distinguish between IE and AW. You could set your server (with URL rewrite rules, or with cgi/php scripts) to deny access through IE. The obvious way to do this would be to use the HTTP_USER_AGENT environment variable. (This tells the server the name and version of your browser. e.x. Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461)) The only problem with this: It would be extremely easy to forge this information.. Once you knew what the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable held when an AW browser requests and object, you can make any other program (including a custom compiled version of IE) identify its self with the proper string. This could be the simplest solution, fastest solution...

Here's how this works.. It's called a "clear text exploit". If I have a
plain zip file.. let's say pp01.zip (that's not password protected) and a encrypted pp01.zip (the file was added with a password) then I can decrypt the pp01.zip in about 30 seconds, no matter the password length. When you password protect your zip files, the password becomes a key (just a long string of numbers and letters) used to encrypt the file after it is zipped. The same "key" must be used to decypt the file. When you decrypt the archive, you enter your password, which the program changes into the "key" (one password always generates the same key), and then uses that key to interpret the file. The "clear text exploit" no only yeids the file that was encrypted (which you already knew anyway), it also unviels the "key" that was used to encrypt it. Once the key is discovered any file can be decrypted.... So, let's say I downloaded a fresh version of pp01.zip from AW's object path. Then (after discoving the URL for you OP) I download the password protected version of pp01.zip from your site. I run the clear text attack useing these two files. I learn what the key is, and can use that key to find your password and decrypt the rest of your objects. Lesson to be learned: Don't encrypt objects that don't need it. Only encrypt your coustom objects, the one's that no one else will have an unencypted version of.

As was said.. discussing the how-to "levels the playing field". If someone
wants to crack a password, they can do it, it's only a matter of time. NOTHING anyone can do about it.. But, knowing first how things are encrypted, and then how they are cracked is the first step to devolving a way of stopping it. If you don't know how a malicious user got the root password on your server, how can you go about fixing it? Have you ever read the "Hacking Exposed" series of books? Sure, they tell hundreds of way to hack everything from windows, Unix/Linux, to novell, and more. What to know why they are such popular books? It is because they list each attack, explain how to go about the attack, and then explain what needs to be done to prevent it. It gives the user an understanding of what an attacker is trying to do, which gives you the basis of what you need to do to fix things. That was exactly what I was trying to do... Ohh, and by the way... Doing something just because it was put in front of you *is* irresponsible. Educating people, however, is not.

The recent events have prompted a lot of people to reconsider the .zip file
passwords, including me. As was proven, ZIP passwords are not sufficient to protect object paths. It takes only a matter of hours, sometimes minutes to crack a ZIP password. How people get the zip files to crack is the first problem, finding a different method of encryption (that cannot be so easily cracked) is a much larger problem. First, all attempts to hide the object path's URL were totally obliterated when the "object warnings" feature was added. Sure, it can be very helpful when you're working with new objects, trying to perfect your model, but it was a major oversight on the part of AWC. The solution to the first problem would be to allow the user to turn on and off object warnings (just like they can now), but not actually print them unless the user has caretaker privileges in the current world. Also... why not just name the cache files by the world name they come from? Store all the paths, or data that needs to be cached in a encrypted file somewhere. To solve the second problem: Why not use strong encryption? Such as PGP keys... This system has been proven very secure. I'm not sure anyone knows how to crack these (I've heard only the government code breaks, with the supercomputers at their fingers can break these) If not this, *something* is needed.. if not a proprietary tool for encryption (which I would not recommend for obvious reasons) I'm not sure if strong encryption is truly practical, as it takes a lot of processor usage, and would be slow to decrypt hundreds of objects.. Here's how it works... You use a program like PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) (check out the yahoo search here for an explanation --> http://google.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=%2b%22pgp%22+%2b%22explanation%22&hc=0&h s=0 ) to create your public and private keys. You then use the private key to encrypt your object files. (You'll want to make a backup of your private key, but keep it safe - you don't want anyone else to have it). You upload the PGP encrypted versions of your objects to your object path just like normal (maybe a different file extension). Then when someone enters your world, the browser should receive notice that the OP is PGP encrypted, and the world server will transfer the *public* key to the browser. (Note: the public key should not be available via HTTP.. it could then be downloaded, and would defeat the purpose of all this encryption) The browser should store this key internally, and loose the information when the user exits the world. The idea is to keep the user from every being able to discover the public key, and only allowing the AW browser to have the public key, in a situation where the use could not grab it from a file later on. The key should not be stored permanently, or even semi- permanently, on the user's hard drive. The browser then uses this public key it has received to decrypt the objects and display them normally. I'm not sure this setup would actually work when put into use, it's just an idea. It would definitely impact initial world load times, but it shouldn't cause significant lag as the objects only need to be decoded once (as they come into view). Exploring areas with objects that your browser hasn't seen in that session would be the laggiest. This would have to be considered, as there are hundreds of objects that would need to be decoded in some worlds, just by standing at GZ. No matter the disadvantages, this would be the *ultimate* in security for object path's. I've forward this e-mail to Roland, E N Z O, and AW support as I believe it is of the utmost importance.

Probably the best way to run a world is to let someone else host it. Find a
hosting service ( I offer good, free hosting.. I can set you up with everything you need) and let them do all the dirty work. This let's you worry more about creating objects, building, and running things in your world.... Instead of worrying about server security, backing up your data, installing the world server, and web server admin. To run a world on you own you'd probably need: -A computer to use to develop your objects and textures on (also used to build and access your world) -A computer to dedicate to hosting your world and the world's Object Path. (it doesn't have to be really fast.. just as long as it works) -A relatively fast internet connection.. DSL./Cable or faster - with a fixed IP address -Knowledge and experience at setting up and maintaining a web server -You'll need MS Windows (for newbies) or a free copy of Linux if you know what you're doing. -Want a domain name? Better figure out how to use BIND (for Linux) or find a DNS server for Windows. -Experience with Photoshop or Painter (or any other nice image editing program) for creating your textures. -You'll need to lean RWX scripting and/or buy a copy of TrueSpace -Anything else I left out.... Again, easiest thing is to let someone else host it. That way you can learn RWX to create your objects, make your textures, and build using them without worrying about all the server stuff. -J. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeremy Booker JTech Web Systems (www.JTechWebSystems.com -- Coming Soon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [View Quote] technical skillsApr 23, 2002, 1:07am

I could not run an OP and AW server off my personal/home system:
1) I install software and need to reboot everynow and then.. 2) My system is not designed for being a server and thus does not have key components that are not required, but nice to have 3) My phone company is weird.. my ip address is semi-fixed, it tends to change without warning.... This means, if you want serious, 24/7 hosting... then you *must* dedicate a system doing nothing be serving up content. About using Linux.. I reccond it for security reasons. I agree that there aren't a *bunch* of crackers out there looking for security holes in the awserver, however.. i'm more worried about the HTTP server used for the OP. Case in point: Microsot IIS Vs. Apache. Apache has had so few security exploits found that I could count them on my fingers... IIS on the other hand takes installing around, ohh say, 300 pathches (and then it's still not very secure). So, again.. if you're serious about hosting your OP and world, you're going to need a good server, in other words: Avoid IIS at all costs (get apache, even if you have to settle for the win32 version). Again, all the stuff I mentioned was for *serious* hosting.. If you're only going to be hosting your world and your own IP, and you don't mind if it's down from time to time... Then: -Download and install the AW world server.. http://www.activeworlds.com/products/download.asp -Download and intall/configure the Apache web server... http://httpd.apache.org/ -Find a free dynamic DNS service, and get them to help you register your domain name (if you want/need one) But, even doing it yourself has its disadvantages..
