open feature requests

Sedulus · Post by **Sedulus** » 2004-02-05 17:29

the following feature requests are on my list:

(* adding Bot interfaces to all plugins)
please state so if I missed a plugin for which the bot-interface would be crucial

(* adding a motd into hubrules where you can specify %[minShare] %[minSlots])
--> Motd plugin

(* logging failed logins (particularly for OP accounts))
--> IpSecurity plugin

(* a spy bot, for spying on pm's and other actions)
--> BigBrother plugin

* a RegMe plugin that makes it less easy to choose a bad/weak password
coming up... as soon as bsod gives me some hints on what I should look for ;)

I'm not sure if I'll do this, as it seems like unnecessary work. most plugins are not used/called that often.
are there specific plugins that have priority?

The SimpleLog plugin doesn't respond to +log commands in the hub bot.

That's the only one I can think of as it has the history features.

oops =)

you might not have this version ;)

I have the version that came with .32-3 (linux)

For the hubs which make you self-register....any way to impose some basic password rules. Such as can't be a mutation of their name, can't be "password, pass, etc' and should be longer than X characters?

along with a name scheme?

Would be good to be able to use +faq\network etc in the bot.

To clarify upon my last post.
It would be very beneficial to enforce a naming rules for +regme commands. i.e. their nickname must satisfy the rule, otherwise they are sent a pm explaining the rule (possibly just a txt file like faq\network)

http://wza.digitalbrains.com/users/.arn ... 86.tar.bz2 does this, and has options to force operators to use certain IPs only (against brute forcing weak passwords)

please test it :)

Sedulus · Post by **Sedulus** » 2004-07-05 18:16

another new plugin, w00t :)

NoBots:
Forces unregistered users to enter a password when they log in. This should
provide a small bit of security against bots that scan the whole Direct Connect
network for files. You can set a custom password, or let the plugin create a
random password of lowercase letters between 3 and 6 characters.

i see the .33 in the filename. has a -1 been released for .33 yet?

Yup. Check the 0.33 thread

i did. Arne said one would be up, but never said it was up.

Sedulus · Post by **Sedulus** » 2004-07-06 14:03

hm... actually
there are these version online:

Code: Select all

dchpp-0.33-1-Win32.rar
dchpp-0.33-Linux.rar
dchpp-0.33-Win32.rar

I would've thought arne would number a next version at -2 instead of -1

in any case.. I haven't been able to compile for windows yet
so the mentioned plugins are for dchpp-0.33-Linux.rar only

yakko · Post by **yakko** » 2004-07-06 14:20

doht. I'm talking about the linux version.

uh?
isn't it enough to check the nicknames at logon with HubRules?

BSOD2600 · Post by **BSOD2600** » 2004-07-09 16:54

Sure one could but that would be confusing for a user. He registers with a name he wants then rejoins only to find the hub wont let him in because he doesn't have the proper prefix. It would simplify the process if during registration, the user was forced to use a certain prefix or it was automatically apended.

Sedulus · Post by **Sedulus** » 2004-07-10 12:31

well, no
if the user got through the hubrules nick check
he already has the correct prefix/nickname.

w00h00.. more plugins :)

http://wza.digitalbrains.com/users/.arn ... 86.tar.bz2

I decided to skip spying on other actions, as they aren't really useful. dch++ will catch flooding and/or other misbehaviour anyways, and your search-spy could catch other nasty habits.

BigBrother DCH++ Plugin by Walter Doekes (Sedulus) (C) 2004.
Adds the option to spy on users private messages. Includes a user-definably
amount of PM's to store in memory, so you can check what a user has said before
you started spying on them.

Post by **GargoyleMT** » 2004-07-14 17:43

Wasn't there strong opposition to looking at user's PMs n the past?

Sedulus · Post by **Sedulus** » 2004-07-14 17:53

of course there is [edit]but users should be aware of their lack of apparent privacy.. one cannot expect everyone to post a huge "you know that any information you send to the internet can be viewed by certain parties" sign everywhere... perhaps I can be persuaded to add a (non-editable) login sign stating the aforementioned though[/edit]

but I can tcpdump/grep/perl the pm's anyway if I wish to

in the readme I got a "USE WITH CARE!
Please respect peoples privacy and only use this to confirm when someone claims
he/she is being harassed through PM by someone."

after careful consideration I'm going cologic on this feature ;)

Post by **GargoyleMT** » 2004-07-14 19:44

Cologic, as a verb?

There are so many possible meanings. One being to go full steam ahead with any known vulnerability, in hopes that it will create drama, entertainment, and perhaps a patch to make it no-longer-a-weak-point. Another would be to totally remove any identifying marks from it, so you can't be associated with it and tracked down for either support, for complaints, or suggestions for improvement.

A mandatory addition to the login message sounds good - at least it's documented that a hub is running that plugin, and users are warned.

I thought perhaps you were one of those who had unconditionally stated that spying on the private messages of users was a bad thing, but I wasn't sure who actually made that statement.

hmno.. I've been more of the users-should-always-know-that-anything-they-send-to-untrusted-places-on-the-internet-can-be-seen-and/or-used-camp. not drama, but like with the IP field in DC++, reiterate that they can't hide things that they can't hide. as for making it no longer a weak point, it could provoke devs/users to look into secure/encypted private messaging.

I'm not convinced yet..

[16:46] <arnetheduck> tja, vi kan iaf fÃƒÂ¶regÃƒÂ¥ med gott exempel... ((set a good example))
[16:57] <Sedulus> okay.. men jag fixar ett generellt mess dÃƒÂ¥, nÃƒÂ¥got som "Be aware that anything you send to the (any) hub can be seen by the hubowner and anyone that the hubowner authorizes. etc.." ((making a general message))
[16:58] <Sedulus> i stÃƒÂ¤llet fÃƒÂ¶r "This hub is running BigBrother, your private messages are logged" ((instead of a specific one))

but now I am..
...implementing
