the viewer could send a false uuid in place of the hard drive uuid without necessarily modifying the hard drive<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 5:10 PM, John Sheridan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:john@pseudospace.net" target="_blank">john@pseudospace.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

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 <a href="http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Current_login_protocols" target="_blank">http://wiki.secondlife.com/<u></u>wiki/Current_login_protocols</a>).<div class="HOEnZb">

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.<br>

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

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