| [10-31 11:13] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: which is just saving or readign text files to only allowed locations |
| [10-31 11:13] | [Chat] | Rmp: even that should at least prompt for a login |
| [10-31 11:13] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: cant there is no external way for users to get access |
| [10-31 11:13] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: you owuld need ata min immortal level |
| [10-31 11:14] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: an immortal might bebale to do some creative stuff depending on the code and the driver it slef |
| [10-31 11:14] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: as therae some peices of code that can crash the mud if ran |
| [10-31 11:14] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: and i am sure there are probably buffer overruns |
| [10-31 11:14] | [Chat] | Rmp: Yeah, some of it is in Lotus' home :) |
| [10-31 11:15] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: it would be near impossible for user t odo anyting |
| [10-31 11:15] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: as the lpc virtual machine wraps everyting |
| [10-31 11:15] | [Chat] | Rmp: There's some gnarly self-referencing code upon which it appears the object it references is gone and causes bad things. |
| [10-31 11:15] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: so youd have to get pass multiple layers |
| [10-31 11:16] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: the mud is more like javascript |
| [10-31 11:16] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: it lives in a virutal machine |
| [10-31 11:16] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: youd have to irst get past that |
| [10-31 11:16] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: and nothing in playe rspace allows that |
| [10-31 11:16] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: granted iwont say its 100% impossible as it is old code but ti would take someone with immortal access to probably even begin to try |
| [10-31 11:17] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: the only way a user could break anyting as siaid is crashing most of the time |
| [10-31 11:17] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: but the mud it self has no direct os access |
| [10-31 11:17] | [Chat] | Icewolfz: ther are multiple layers between a player and the shell itself |
