<snip excellent explanation>
MultiZip can rezip password protected files with new password AND it can change the content, so even if the perpetrator thinks he/she has one source file, the cracking will still fail.
Of course you don't want to password protect those files which Multizip can't change the content (like seqs, sounds) and never password the avatars.dat as XelaG advised correctly some posts ago.

Yup, your tool is highly recommended! :-)

One thing to watch though - COB files cannot be changed by simply adding
something with a text editor, maybe you can come up with something
changing them too somehow... or developers should ALWAYS give out rwx
files only!

Hello Mod,

I am not sure why you think we didn't go after M A T T. Everything we said
was and is true. The fact that people can get away with online crimes is
only a reflection that they can get away with real-life crimes also. We are
still taking action against M A T T but it takes a lot of time and if
certain law enforcement agencies do not act on our complaints, how can we
change it? I will not apologize for the judicial system of the United
States as I have control over it.

How can they go after him? He's a minor! Not sure they can do anything to
his parents either for that matter but that would be the place to persue,
perhaps enough pressure there and they'll make him stop?

[View Quote] Age can't be used as a defense for everything. He _knew_ what he was
doing was wrong. Therefore he is guilt of a crime and should be punished.

These types of crimes need knowledge of what you're doing, so, it's not
really hard to point a finger and put a punishment. It won't be jail or
death, but it might be pretty severe (wage garnishment to pay back greif
and such, mental assessment in a juivinile detention center).

I have no sympathy for children who play with fire and get burnt. It
seems some courts agree, and some do not.

Juvinile hall is full of minors :) That would be a good place to start.

there's a difference between a minor and a 'juvinile deliquent'.and parents
should take responsiblity and action on their difiant teen whereas
johnf just causes grief with his goofy jokes =P j/k !

Unfortunately he seems to have a CLOSE relative that is in the legal field.
So far he seems to have avoided his court date and it looks like the local
"law enforcement", A. "can't find him" B. "nope never heard of him" C.
"no sir he's not in that schoolhouse I reckon" D. "no sir that boah is a
good boah and wern't never in no virtualllll world herassin folks" (all
air quotes I am sure ;). Of course this should come as no real surprise
when you think how long it takes to get REAL terrorists even with the entire
US military looking for them.

In any case we are still working with our police up here and putting a case
together. Since parents are liable for the acts of their children at some
point we may have to go after his CLOSE relative. If you have monetary
claims against him keep sending them. I am sure at some point his mommy will
get nervous and pull his little plug.

Seems illegal to me to knowingly ignore the US Judicial system, but what do
I know ?

Keep sending your emails to abuse at activeworlds.com


Sorry for the delay... your tax dollars at work.

Enzo, I also rcvd an E-Mail from said Christopher Stevens, and the last
one I sent to the FBI and included the fact this person is a hacker and
virul writer. Hopes that they find exactly what was said too. If nothing
else but a hacker trying to steal sensative information, which is a
federal offense anyway.

Geez it's your software and you don't have to sell him a cit and he has to
pay by credit card or check so you have personal info so why don't you
cancel his account(s) and not sell him any more?
There is no law that says you have to sell a cit to anyone who wants one.

So you are saying that OP owners should NOT have identical data in their
protected files?

Maybe there could be a tool to add a little random comment at the end of
rwx or cob files, if it's possible to comment those, or to add a line
that does nothing, if that's possible. That way, there would be no
unprotected file to compare it with!

Yer know... the easiest way to do this would be to use a new compression /
encryption method one way.... and have only the browser know the decrypt
method...

[View Quote] Casey has sent me her theory on it:


After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if he is in our area" ...the
good boah decided to send the local law enforcements an email to let them
know that he is still in the game. They opened the letter and it appeared to
contain a coded message:

370HSSV-0773H

The local law enforcements couldn't figure it out so they forwarded it to
CIA. They had no clue either so they forwarded it to the NSA. No one could
solve it so it went to MIT and NASA and the cc list just got longer and
longer. Eventually it arrived at the Feds.

Dr Greenspan looked at it and replied immediately: "Perhaps the local law
enforcements there would wish to look at the message up-side-down..."
