[Opensim-users] Griefer issue...

[Mike Chase]

Or you can simply turn off hypergrid.  It's pretty much insecure by design.

I believe the viewer also adds in a third safe guard in combination with IP
/ MAC address.  Long ago while tinkering around with the viewer logins I
remember seeing mentions of an ID0 floating around thats sent to the login
service as part of the login data packet.  If I understood correctly, this
is supposedly the UUID of the user's first hard drive - which in fact cannot
be changed without physically replacing the drive itself (see
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Current_login_protocols).

Yeah, I think like websites the only thing you can ultimately do is ban by
IP for a period.  Otherwise, they could always just create a new account,
change their MAC address, etc.  Of course, they can change their IP too but
this is the most hassle.

Other than banning by IP or MAC address, I don't know.

    I see there has been a post about this issue before. My post here is two
fold..   One is to apologize to the grids
    that have been victim to this and to request that other grids do not
restrict hypergrid access from my grid.. Also
    to start a discussion about steps to prevent this in the future..   I
have been notified yesterday and this morning
    I have a griefer registering on the Virtual Realms Grid then going to
other grids to grieve them..  I have take
    steps to ensure this does not happen anymore..  I have restricted new
user creations to administrative approval till
    we have sort out a good practical preventive measure on this type of
abuse. And would like to extend an apology to
    any grid that have been a victim to this by any of the grids users..  I
will be looking at ways to prevent this from
    happening in the future..  To this end any suggestions to help grids
prevent this from happening would be welcomed..

    Thank you,
    Todd Davis
    Grid Administrator
    Virtual Realms Grid..
