Author Topic: Remote Blockland Console  (Read 5467 times)

I've been working on a node.js remote panel solution. (all in 1 script, webserver, launching blockland, reading console ect)
It features:

remote console
file uploading
add-on management
viewable web chat (read your server's chat)
and a login system (users can register and order a server online, and get instant access (after the server generates of course))

its not finished however, not sure what ill do with it when im done either. may just release the source (free of charge maybe :D)

-deleted- because i forgot about source code permissions

are you even allowed to decompile it by DAProgs' permission?

So any software I make is instantly highly suspicious, since my BL_ID is a 94k? Anybody could instantly turn into a hacker at any moment. How long they played this game for is irrelevant.

I didn't originally think you were capable of ID discrimination.
it's less of a "you're guilty because your id is high" and more of a "your id is high.. you might not have been around for a while... hmm, you can't use that as a pro in your favor - it's not a negative, neccesarily, just not a bonus"
plus that's not even what I said at all
He didn't say that.
He said him having a low ID supports the claim that he's been around for a long time
and because he's been around for a while, he's probably not a jackass who got himself banned. i can't honestly imagine someone spending... what, 3 quarters of a decade of their life just being a sleeper agent and not launching anything malicious - it's still possible, but it's a point in his favor.
You are right there is no proof and no open source.
I was going to create a web version, unfortunately I suck at web programming and don't know how to stream the console test to the web page.
It was much simpler for me just to make a client.
You can virus scan it all you want and netstat it to death if you do run it, I am not one to do anything malicious nor establish strange connections.
If I were to do something like that I would use obfuscated accounts connections etc.

There are a few people who have been running this and are quite happy with it.
I have only decided to release this since some people that were used to rtb hosting style management no longer had this option.
As I said this is just to help out. If you don't want to use it it's up to you :)
For those of you that do use it I hope you enjoy and would really appreciate any feedback on improvements/additions to make to it.
Why don't you release the source? It looks like you have nothing to hide, prove it by doing so. In fact.. you're against us decompiling it... why? people might steal your work? you've already proven it was your work with this topic - unless they made major changes (in which case wouldn't it essentially be their work?)

does virustotal automatically extract zip files? you should've scanned the .exe, if it doesn't extract zip files that scan is worthless. i don't get the feeling that it does extract the zip file.

I have a different philosophy on software than Lugnut. Unless there is reason to suspect it being malicious, I trust it. I don't have any antivirus and I've never had my identity stolen or my bank account emptied or even any of my accounts hacked, so that seems to be working pretty well for me.

Also, you guys need to calm down about "ID Discrimination." First off, what Lugnut was doing would be considered ID profiling, not ID discrimination. Discrimination is preventing someone from doing something because of their ID, for example banning people for joining your server with a high ID. And even then, he wasn't really profiling based on ID, he was profiling based on how long he's been here. ID has a direct correlation with time spent on the game, and that's an objective fact. It's unlike racism where you can't find much correlation to anything that's caused by their skin color, aside from the amount of pigment in their skin. You guys are just going social justice flower world on Lugnut.

Lastly, I believe in closed source software. Not everyone is entitled to see the content of all of your work. Failing to release source code does not imply a virus, he simply wants proprietary ownership of the software without giving others the ability to edit and pilfer his personal work. I rarely release source code with anything I write because it's my code, it's not designed or intended to be shared with others. If you don't trust his software, just don't use it. It's not your job to cast doubt upon someone for the theoretical safety of others. I don't walk around restaurants telling people the food they're eating may not have been handled properly and may infect them with food poisoning, and I don't bounce around forums telling people the software they're downloading might be a virus.

Is this app what some hosts use to access a server without actually opening Blockland?  Technically, they are not inside the server, yet they can still access the chat and even add input?

Might be thinking of something else though.

Why don't you release the source?
It's mainly a habit of mine.
As I stated in my first post, this is something I had made for myself, it was not originally intended for release.
I may or may not release it, it depends on the feedback.
If I feel it is useful I would clean up the code to a readable state and maybe make it publicly available.
In fact.. you're against us decompiling it.
Yes, I am. It's a question of integrity. Decompiling code that is not yours is just stealing.
unless they made major changes (in which case wouldn't it essentially be their work?)
I do not necessarily feel like having a bunch of consoles popup being called "their work"
While I may choose to release the  source, until I do, I would appreciate the choice  to be mine.

Yes that is exactly what it is.

Very cool. Needs a file transfer too

Yes that is exactly what it is.

Yeah I've seen it in use at several servers.  I'll probably get it.

Alright, I'll lay off. I don't need to waste day arguing the same thing I've already stated, plus I can't even personally use the thing anyway (linux, more ideal to use a native solution), plus I doubt it has a virus or anything.

If this software had cryptography in it on the other hand, I'd be all up in here - you can't trust closed source cryptography. (That's just shifting the argument though, I really am done here)

are you positive that wasn't either my telchat mod (that no one ever used) or DrenDran's server control mod (that a decent amount of people used)?

the DLL is crypto functions iirc.

Quite sure, but not 100%.  If I'm guessing right, Tezuni (and some of his admins) use this for his server.
