No, not with hackers and script kiddies like Sleepy E (".VACANT" in AW) stealing and hacking everything...

Sleepy E didn't steal a thing, Eep, and you know it!!! Sure, he's one of
the best hackers out there but he's one of the good guys practically 100% of
the time.. You just think that because he can get your object password
whenever he wants, that he also wants your objects... Well you are WRONG..
Besides.. he's not the only one that can get your object password if they
want it and you know it.. The other person has never and will never steal
from you either... You overestimate the "allure" of your stuff greatly...
There are ppl around with morals, therefore stealing is not their thing --
but know-how is... Guess that's what you don't like??? --> People
knowing-how better than you... Well, Eep, get over it.. There will always
be someone that knows more than the next guy.. :o)

Um, Daphne, you need to learn how to read more carefully. I said hackerS (plural) and script kiddIES (another plural). I'm not just concerned about MY objects but EVERYONE'S because I know how much damn work, time, and effort is put into making them (at least I know with mine anyway) and don't want them stolen by some no-talent wanna-be hacker and script kiddie like Sleepy E et al.

I'll get over it when my stuff can't be hacked, so take your condescending attitude and shove it up your ass.

So you would rather some pro dude stole them? And not just someone who is a
'script kiddie,' Or do you not like the fact that someone you think isnt
good can do it?

I don't like that ANYONE can steal objects--PERIOD. Perhaps if you actually made your own objects you would understand...

It usually helps to put a blank .html file in your directories, this way
they actually have to work to get the files. Even though they wouldnt get
the password through the .zip file itself, if they have it, it will take a
bit more effort to get the objects they want. As for making the pws safer,
They are pretty damn safe. It takes a lot of skill to get the pw, a lot of
sniffing the incoming packets being sent by the world server. There are few
who can do this, and NONE of them will make a "Program" and give it out to
people, so that eliminates "script kiddies". As for Sleepy, I know that he
is 100% against stealing of others objects :)

I think that's not the prob, it's about protecting the textures and the
whole path.
htaccess/htpasswd protected directories seem not to work with AW.

"no-talent, wanna-be"??? LOL You only WISH that Sleepy E was just a
script kiddie.. :o)

If you didn't want someone coming back on you then why mention names??? You
could have left your statement to read "hackers and script kiddies" and you
would not have heard from me...

Eep, your stuff can always be hacked if it's on the internet... No matter
what's put in place for "protection" there will always be someone smart
enough to find a work-around...

You can put that where the sun doesn't shine, dear...

You can get a little security with a scripted path, the
objects don't need to need in a directory that can be
accessed through HTTP, and the script can check some
things in the HTTP header, that are very specific for
AW. Only a little security though.

Changing file permission or ownership cannot change
anything - if the download program cannot access them,
the AW browser will not be able to download them either.

With PHP's support for sessions and/or cookies, I could
think of one more way, to make the path really "quite"
secure. I'm too lazy to implement it though, the best
protection for my own stuff is to make it available for
free - no one can steal anything with that concept *g

i make my own objects, and i wouldnt like it if someone stole my shit, but i
know its impossible to fully protect them from being stolen, and aw already
done almost everything which is both sane, and possible and to prevent
object theft, except for protecting seqs. well life goes on, no reason to
stop doing things you enjoy because someone would steal it. dont see game
companies stop production because people might make copies of there games.

I know it's something you will never learn, Netiquette.

But in case you're curious, here's the RFC about it
http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html

and this is what it says about setting the "follow-ups:"
header field :


> In NetNews parlance, "Posting" refers to posting a new article to a group, or responding to a post
> someone else has posted. "Cross-Posting" refers to posting a message to more than one group. If you
> introduce Cross-Posting to a group, or if you direct "Followup-To:" in the header of your posting, warn
> readers! Readers will usually assume that the message was posted to a specific group and that followups
> will go to that group. Headers change this behavior.

I DO make objects, and I understand that you dont want people stealing them.
But you got to realize the way you act is like you dont enjoy the idea of a
'script kiddie' to steal your objects, it seems like you would rather have
an elite hacker to steal them.

I don't think a blank.html file will work. You need to upload a file named
"index.html" or "index.htm" This document will prevent everyone to list
whats on your folder on the net! Just add another "index.html" file in each
folder (directory) to prevent everyone to see whats inside the folders!

You can write whatever you want on that index.html document, just like a
normal web page!
I guess most of you allready know this but just in case someone didn't :-D

Good god you're an idiot, Ananas--even moreso than I previously thought. You attempt to talk of netiquette when you don't even follow it yourself by keeping the old subject or even quoting what you're babbling about--er, "replying" to. You're also so clueless that you don't understand the simple concept behind setting followups to a nonexistant newsgroup, which I will leave as an exercise to your QUITE feeble-minded brain.

In short, don't fuck with me. I tire of having to put person after person in their place because they don't know any better--it's quite boring really...

Is that not only natural? I would also rather an elite hacker hack my objects (if I made my own) over a simple script kiddie. Cause if a script kiddie can, ANYONE can.

Yeah, but if you have a good host, they would know to protect your content by not allowing directory listing in the first place ;o)

Eep;
Ignorance must be pointed out(that's YOUR MO Eep) soooooo you ignorant punk
Sleepy is far from a script kiddy your use of the term is way off so you must
be ignorant to the definition......:)

script kiddies pl.n.

1. [very common] The lowest form of cracker; script kiddies do mischief with
scripts and programs written by others, often without understanding the exploit
they are using. Used of people with limited technical expertise using
easy-to-operate, pre-configured, and/or automated tools to conduct disruptive
activities against networked systems. Since most of these tools are fairly
well-known by the security community, the adverse impact of such actions is
usually minimal. 2. People who cannot program, but who create tacky HTML pages
by copying JavaScript routines from other tacky HTML pages. More generally, a
script kiddie writes (or more likely cuts and pastes) code without either having
or desiring to have a mental model of what the code does; someone who thinks of
code as magical incantations and asks only "what do I need to type to make this
happen?"



Soo there ya go honey try and keep up with all this techno stuff so you
sound smarter...ok? :)

You managed to use quite a few swear words yourself. All you're going to end up doing is rousing him further. According to your header, you're using Outlook Express. So if he offends you, just filter him.
