Modification Help / Re: Open up webpage on client (Clientsided)

« on: November 01, 2013, 06:25:25 PM »

i've been meaning to make a post about good security practices in add-ons for a while now. i think i'll actually do it.

Please do. I've actually been thinking about creating an exploit-hunting contest for various mods. I'm not sure what kind of incentive I would give, though.

On it-  Will removing the config remove favorites and stuff?

No it won't. Just remember to post the files first.

It's extremely easy to slip exploits into mods. Big mods, especially. Slayer has 23,000 lines of server and client-sided code. If I inserted something into that, nobody would notice and it would affect a large part of the community. (not that I will - this is an example)

The mod doesn't even have to be very large, though. Backdoors appear now and then in Drama. Normally they're just commands to give the creator admin powers, but they could easily be something more significant. The thing is that nobody noticed them until they were used.

Those are just the intentional security holes. Like Lugnut was saying, I bet that there's a good number of mods that are susceptible to eval-injection or simply lagging the server with rapid command spamming.

if that would be a problem, why are they on the forums?

Try to disable the QoS setting on your router.

If you want to open up a page in the client's default browser, use goToWebPage.

If you want to display a page in-game, you need to write an HTML parser.

Step 1:

Replicate the issue.

Step 2:

Navigate to "Blockland\config\server\Slayer". Find the file called "debug_server.log" and upload it to http://www.filedropper.com/.

Repeat this step for the file called "config_last.cs".

Post links to both files here.

Step 3:

Delete the file called "config_last.cs".

They added VehicleData in the version of Torque released after ours, unfortunately. (1.5)

I might have expected a little too much from the blockland community

Yes, exactly. I know that the other methods work but normally I go for the solution that is easiest for them to do.

I agree that Filipe's intro is a little too long.
