I thought of that, but this is what I decided: Would it be better to warn people to take the no copy stuff and keep it safe against the few that have it or leave it unknown and risk the chance they may lose something very valuable (like a Starax statue) and maybe never get it back. In this case prevention won out. Colette over there already posed a great question that needs to be thought about: Quote:
In other words does the vendor hold the same permissions as the owner had once it is copied? Last edited by Macphisto Angelus; 07-28-2008 at 05:51 PM. | ||

Which means they can remove the items from it, but they will have it as next owner perms. However they will be able to make copies ad infinitum, probably - till there is a fix. And no way to tell the difference, as it won't be a copybotted item. It's the actual item you sell, gotten for free.

Finally I just started using a ZHAO and I modded a smiler script to give me the randomised smiling funtionality I had with the old one. I'll probably put some emotes into it, but I currently enjoy emotes as well with my mystitool. | |

I use Moopf's vendors so they are no transfer, would that make a difference in this? | |

I'm not sure yet if this extends to items on the sim. It may only work with attachments. I really don't know enough to say for sure. My first guess though if they are faking an inventory transfer, that it may not work with no trans items. | |

Color me unsurprised. I've heard of numerous verified tales of all sorts of security woes in my time in SL, and I'm not even that old (a year and a half old.) LL should give bounties to people who found exploits; in the past I know they have given such bounties, and one of my friends who is a "white" SL hacker has helped find and report some exploits. | ||

I wouldn't be surprised LL has a similar unspoken hostile agent policy, but I can't be sure. | |

| They have offered 10K bounties in the past for reporting exploits, not sure if that is still the case. What I don't get about this current issue is that I've seen reports of SLProxy being used to steal objects via packet injection dating back to 2006. It makes me wonder if this current exploit is actually something new, or if it's an old exploit that has just become more of an issue because instructions are now being distributed to allow anyone to use it. If it's an issue that's been around a couple of years, should we feel confident about it being fixed now? |

| Other consequences of the same: Topic Digest: VSTEX/ISE halt trading, ATM withdrawls. I don't quite understand how their ATM worked if they could be robbed this way... Ours (and SLXs) work fine, you can't steal money by stealing the ATM itself. Maybe some kinda' 'overly simplified' security scheme with a password stored inside the ATM or something. |

Is it wicked not to care?

They haven't ever seemed hostile over people reporting exploits, especially if you report it to them before making it public.

I know of two SL clients that can do this. One is used by bug testers for LL. Same guys who made copybot. It seems once again this has become freely available to every joe hacker out there. Sorry to say it, but SL just isn't safe for content creators or shoppers or anyone. LL don't give a rat's ass about security, because doing something serious about it would mean re-building SL from scratch. SL was never designed with security.. the foundation of all SL code is based on a 1970s model of security, which is pretty much equal to no security. Content theft has always been possible on SL. From day one. It's part of the code. | |

Heaven, to keep its beauty,
cast them out, but even Hell
itself would not receive them
for fear the wicked there
might glory over them.
