krashek Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 So, on our server, we have that "friend". He is saying that he has a universal launcher, and can login on any account he wants, without providing the password. So in theory he can login on my account and unban himself or whatever. He has been one time already on friends account who is the owner of the server. So my question is, is there another line of defense to be able to put up on server? Or anything similar to prevent that "friend" to coming on server? PS: I am sorry if this is the wrong thread, but I did not know where else to put it. Quote
Gennah Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Quick disclaimer, I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to running a server, but I hear IP banning is a thing. Again, talking out of my ass, but I'm inclined to believe that would solve your problem unless he has a dynamic IP. Quote
krashek Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 Well banning IPs has not been very useful for quite some time now, because changing IP is a piece of cake. Quote
krashek Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 It is because of one friend. Well, it is not cracked, but it is in offline mode. But I think that is the same. Quote
Lothos Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 then that is the peril of being an offline server. Quote
krashek Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 then that is the peril of being an offline server. well I figured, but I hope it can still something be made... Quote
freakachu Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 well I figured, but I hope it can still something be made... something has already been made. it's called "online mode" and it prevents this kind of thing. it also has the side effect of removing unsavory "friends" who are actually assholes.

Lothos Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 you either stay offline to cater too the pirate friend not wanting to be legit and BUY minecraft. or you suffer with the other "friend" who likes to hack your accounts by bypassing the login. Quote
krashek Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 what about any ingame login or register programs? I know there are some, but owner does not have any luck with them right now. Quote
Torezu Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 what about any ingame login or register programs? I know there are some, but owner does not have any luck with them right now. Nope. We don't cater to or condone piracy. Take this question elsewhere or get banned. Quote
LazDude2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 He's not catering to piracy, he's asking if you know of any name-protect Bukkit plugins. I think it's a perfectly reasonable question, and I personally don't have an answer. Quote

There's no name protect bukkits out there because the vanilla client already provides login protection for names. Quote
LazDude2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Actually, there are several out there. I understand that it does, yes. I am not saying that it doesn't. Quote

He's not catering to piracy, he's asking if you know of any name-protect Bukkit plugins. I think it's a perfectly reasonable question, and I personally don't have an answer. I'm pretty sure this means he is, in fact, catering to piracy. Quote

I think it's a perfectly reasonable question, and I personally don't have an answer. Actually, he is catering to piracy, as he admits his server is in offline mode so that one of his "friends" (not the one that is hacking) can play without buying Minecraft. Edit: Ninja'd by Torezu.

krashek Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 I withdraw my question and I am sorry. I do know that it is not allowed to ask about "cracked" stuff here or on any other original MC forums. I did not want to talk about piracy or anything. It is just that I do have original MC, for 2 years now, and there are some who do, but some don't. We will find our own way to protect the server, thank you for trying to help, and if you would be so kind, do not ban me, as I will withdraw my question. Thank you. Quote

The only legitimate solution is to make it so that those who do not, do. Make your server legit. If a certain friend can't afford the game, you could always chip in to buy him a gift code if you really want to keep him around. Quote
Torezu Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 If a certain friend can't afford the game, you could always chip in to buy him a gift code if you really want to keep him around. This. It's what I did, back before the official full release, for one of my friend's who's not able to financially justify game purchases. Quote
