Ok, so we know the average computer users could get it from someone else by
them being stupid enough to give their password.
But if this guy knows how to hack into someone elses machine, I would advise
something to you...

NEVER have your passwords on REMEMBER.
All they need to do is get your aworld.ini file which would have inside it
the following:

name=Anduin
pass=9bz80c221eaf9g0937246e
(NOTE, I scrambled and changed the pass, don't bother)

All they need to do from there is copy those 2 lines into their OWN
aworld.ini file or simply use that one, and they have your account! They
don't need a special program to unscramble the letters and numbers, they
just need to place it in a aworld.ini file... It's much like people do to
get others MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ passwords.

I guess another thing to say would be not to give anyone out there your
aworld.ini files if you save passwords or even privilege details, cause it's
all in there.

Ok, so the script kiddies that read this post have learnt a new way to get
details, so what, this will teach those that don't know how to protect their
account to NOT SAVE PASSWORDS!

I have more to say:

> rypp wanted to write to this newgroup himself about the theft - but since
he
> no longer had any identity or password he wasn't allowed.

I never thought the newsgroups were so fast at changing details to log in...
Especially under 1 day... You can get your account expired from AW and still
post in the groups for a few more days, sometimes more than a week.

Actually, you can. I've done it with my sisters account, works well.
She has AW in a seperate folder on the network, got her ini file, copied
those 2 lines, and logged in as she had remembered password.

I did this as a test, warned her to stop remembering her password, so
obviously this 3.2 feature doesn't do much work.

I don't even know what it is...

Hey,

Well, I have 2 other PC's connected to this one. But I also have Windows XP
and had two installations of ActiveWorlds 3.2 with seperate cache's,
contacts, aworld.ini and everything. Windows XP allows you to do such if you
know how without making both programs screw up ;)

That may explain though, why the aworld.ini file worked?
I guess it just doesn't work on seperate computers and hard drives eh? Good
enough :)

Hi,

My ISP hosts my mail and domain (anduin-lothario.com), what he does to
protect me is basically oinly allow people connected to the ISP to access
the e-mail. So if someone does happen to guess a password, they would have
to be connected to that ISP. The only downfall with this technique, is if
I'm somewhere else around the world, which I soon will be as I am moving, I
would not be able to access the mail server. Hopefully he fixed that feature
for my mail, so that I can access it upstate.

It's addressed to Kellie, shouldn't it be e-mailed to Kellie?
'Was just curious' doesn't give any clue as to why it might have been sent to the newsgroups.

I believe that is why they are 'activate URL' and not 'activate

Which opens up a separate browser window for you and doesn't load the

Give him a break, at-least he's proving himself and admitting he has a problem AND on top of that, he's taken the step of getting more help to fix it.

Calling him a freak really was uncalled for.

>Curious that he sent it only to you, though. Do you even know him that

>could have just sent it to me directly...

And if Dion knows JFK2 a little more than others it makes it a bad thing?

I am, personally, friends in a way with JFK2. I wouldn't say I hold him to the highest respect because some things said are just not my subject at all. But when he does put his mind to it, he has some useful things to say. Yes, he's sick minded sometimes, ok, everyone knows this. But lets hope the treatment makes him better, and congratulate him for taking the right step. Because obviously, he's taken it into his mind, and has admitted to his problem, which isn't even HIS fault. He's not a drug addict, it's more a defect he's had to grow up with through his whole life; some people must come to understand this.

Calling someone a freak because they happen to be different is way off the charts, people would expect more from someone up there in the 'community'.

Well, to me it seemed as if he was selling his avatars as they were already and at a nice and easy price. He started raising it because of customizing each avatar which requires more work put into them.
He doesn't seem to want 'thoughts' on his work as he sells them as is, and if you wish them to be customized he adds more of a price to them for the work, which was reasonable.

You're getting the Win32.Klez.H worm virus. The most popular Virus around today :o)

Nothing to worry about though.

I found this out at http://www.vet.com.au/html/zoo/local/zoo_descriptions/klezh.htm
Check out the subjects you can receive, and they include your two:
o a ***** ***** patch
o the Garden of Eden

Ok, now, either someone is infected and has you in their Address book and it's automatically sending itself to you. I'm guessing this isn't the case, I'm actually guessing that you recently, without knowing, caught the HTML.MimeExploit which automatically launched (without your knowing, cause of stupid MICROSOFT products) the virus on you as well as one worm known as JS.Loop or something by that name. What the JS.Loop will do is, I think every day, resend the Win32.Klez.H worm to your inbox, with different From field email address and names, and different subjects.

I suggest you set a few settings up in your Outlook Express as well as get the latest virus protection files. I use VET Antivirus (www.vet.com.au).

In Outlook Express, go to Tools --> Options. In the 'read' tab, make sure that the 'Automatically download message when viewing in the Preview Pane' is UNCHECKED. Also, in the 'Security' tab, make sure that for 'Select the Internet Explorer Security Zone to Use' is RESTRICTED SITES ZONE (More Secure). And that you check the box for 'Do no allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus'.

Hope this helped at all :o)
