!IMPORTANT! Login Failures read or you may lose access to Cain's totally!

[Sirex]

I'm not kidding XD

If you 'forget' your password or you miss type 5 times you know the system will lock your account as a precaution...

If you get to 4 failures, please STOP!!!

STOP

if you trigger that 5th time, the server will add you to a special list...
this special list will block you from viewing any of our sites.


So if you typo your password 5 times you will be locked out...
I'm adjusting the email it sends with info on how to get unblocked but please PLEASE remmeber this


5 failures = IP ban from the servers!

Uh Oh. Sirex has a "special list"

[Sirex]

yeah i got a special list lol
and its HUGE 3493 entries long,

prob into the 100,000's if you expand the masks out, they are mainly bots too!

[goldenfooler]

does is keep someone off of the game servers as well?

[Sirex]

If i told you that I'd have to shoot you XD

Put it one way, IP blacklists across Cain's are synchronised on a regular basis.

That was a hole in the software the coders left open to wide.

Simple explination is when the installer for vb runs it leaves files laying.
These could be triggered via decoding id codes.

It never used to be a hole but somone worked out how to decrypt the id codes from info you can get laying around the files for normal use.

Once they found out how to do that these super user files where vulnerable to attack.
Hopefully between what ive changed in files and db will stop anything similar
