I cannot publish my server.

[Mitcheel]

Hey MPGH.

Every time i publish my server my database gets flooded by thousands account's with random names.
Seems like someone is willing to destroy the fun.

Anyone here whos able to make a fix for me/everyone?
Maybe a captcha or something like this?

ip ban? 10 char

[FlutterM4rk]

or simply just:
- make it whitelisted
- make register on a website and make it import info into db

I have no idea how to make it whitelisted tho..

ip ban? 10 char

My source doesnt have IP Bans yet.. :C

ip ban if accounts have same ip

Or you can just add so you can have a max for X accounts per IP. Shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Woah thats a good idea. Gonna try to code that!

What donran mentioned should be quite easy to do as you can request the IP of every user you get that tries to connect to the server.exe, which you can take advantage off while making ban systems and such. It should also not be hard to make a ban system like prod has it where you can't load the account at all.

After looking again on what you had posted I see that what you want to achieve here is not really a strong possability thanks to the way AS3 works with Bytecode. I'm sure it could be made with some major editing but You'd be better off using a system for you server side registration to limit the amount of accounts one IP could use but you can also look into using Email Verifications or using a website to register the accounts and remove the registration feature from the system completely.

P.S Removing the registration form from the client and the registration system from server.exe is very easy.

But would the players want to do this? Anyone that can get access to the database can get the passwords and emails of all the players. This is not a safe route. This is really the only reason why we use Usernames instead of Email verification as someone in the past had found the passwords and emails and was able to hack into the accounts on Production.

My server will use both usernames and emails, The only reason I have email is because you need to be able to reset your password if you forget it without contacting an administrator. If a person doesn't like it then they don't have to register.

Besides, I have added security on my server.

Well that is a good reason. What you are using with email is making life easier for other people which is good but about a year ago, an idiot made a server and had just stolen peoples Production accounts
