RTB Dedicated Hosting Service

[Lugnut]

ssl secures communications to and from the client and server.
it does not do anything to secure data after being decrypted by the server.


it would be trivial to log keys being input, for both kalphiter and lub.

I'm not sure what your point is - I think everyone understands that in order to host with your own key you're going to need to give your key to the service hosting your server in one way or another, so you might as well do it via a secure page.

[Lugnut]

the page is only secure from rogue users on your network from sniffing.
not from you guys.
once the key is in the game, all is okay as the key.dat cannot be moved, and playing blockland via vnc is loving handicapped.

the question lies in the medium: even ingame eval mods can be rigged to log. remote console /is/ logged.

so i ask the community: how much do you trust your dedicated service provider? do you trust them with your identity?

ps this applies to kalphiter too

Nope, it's secure from anyone in the world trying to do anything malicious such as impersonating the rtb website for instance.

This url: http://69.64.43.11/key.php is 100% unsecure and nobody's going to know the difference if a link were posted to http://12.34.56.78/key.php

so i ask the community: how much do you trust your dedicated service provider? do you trust them with your identity?

Okay - so you were just being dramatic then. This isn't even worth discussing - if they can't trust us with their key then they won't buy a server. Simples.

Ephi seems to be alright on the trustworthy scale, I'd trust him and lub with my key seeing as it isn't too valuable to me. Plus if anything went wrong, I know who to blame and hopefully badspot would help me out.

that's still not what I was getting at, but I'm way too tired to try to explain

just raising some points people might not have considered. nothing wrong with that, right?

ok -

*screeching tires sound as mental processes grind to a halt
aaahahahahaah you put way too much faith in him with these guys
besides, the best he'd probably do is revoke the key and not give you a new one

[Rub]

The SSL certificate costs more than the price of quite a few keys anyway, this is such a pointless discussion.

[Ephialtes]

I'm glad it was raised anyway - it's good to highlight the time and money we put into making sure that the data our customers enter into our site is as secure as it can be.

:o

How? As far as I know all you can do with Kalphiter's service is remote start/stop, ftp access, remote console and that's it? Clearly this offers all of that and then more on top of it.

You don't really need anymore than that. If I wanted to use a hosting service I would probably go with the cheapest.

^everyone making me look like an idiot

[Pixel]

Im confused as to how people would ever feel safer giving their key to some random Blockland user rather than a moderator and creator of the most mainstream Blockland mod.

You people are dumb.

[nerraD]

is it just me or is lugnut making himself look like an idiot?

Looks nice.

Just like apple

How much money is it though? In guessing 200/month
