Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
So yeah Whitts, lots of BAWWW'ing around MCAdmin at the moment. Up to you if you want to keep it. EDIT: A quick summary: Dev built a back door into the software that allowed him to do three things, 1. Not ever be banned or kicked from a server running his software 2. Assume admin powers on said server 3. Remotely disable MCAdmin The dev has since apologized and said he removed the back door. Community is still up in arms about it (apparently this all happened within the last day or so).

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
I saw that yesterday actually, I just randomed upon it.
yea the owner made a backdoor, banned someone for banning the owner from a server that uses MCAdmin. basicly it could be a security breach, seeing as how a griefer with knowhow can hack into the backdoor, therefore making any server submit to his whim.

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
That is, the dev got on a server and was banned by the server admin, who was in turn banned by the dev from his own server. I'm unsure as to whether the dev then shut down the server or not but that seems to be the rumor.

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
I have secured my account with a superlock password that I type in a way that will trick keyloggers.
Edit: please un-ban me now.

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
I am rather sure that a keylogger was never the problem, it was just that people could control entire servers, if not networks, or servers (as in global ban list etc) by having the information on the backdoor.

He wasn't talking about you sam, he was talking about the backdoor.

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
The dev of MCAdmin sez: Quote: Read this In the last few days I messed up badly. I played with the trust of my users, I abused it to be precise.
So what did I do? I integrated a feature into MCAdmin which made me unkickable and unbannable. Also I made a feature which could set my level to admin level. And the last thing was I could remotely disable any server from running MCAdmin
Now why would I do that? Well, the first feature was made because some admins kicked me thinking I was a hacker (because of my [Dev] tag). The second feature I integrated to help admins of servers, so I can show them around the commands, and how they work with MCAdmin and resolve issues right on-the-server. And for the last thing, I don't know why I did it, I had the idea of some servers harming the community or something.
So, what now? Well, the features are all removed already. I cannot remotely shutdown your server nor am I any kind of special. Now all I can do is saying sorry. I never thought people would call this abusive, I would have never abused it. But I understand people might think like that.
So what's with that guy (Bradster) whos server you disabled because of disliking him? I disabled his server after he insulted me, not because I dislike him. You have to see, at that time, one guy ont he server insulted me (a guest) so I said "shut up". This got me banned, Then I reconnected because I got unbanned just to be yelled at how I should not decide how I am running my admin mod or not. Thus I disabled his server. This was not right and all I can do is saying I am sorry for that, too. I overreacted.
But what's the "Developer mode" about now? Well, now it prompts you to accept my request for "developer mode", this will grant me all rights. If you do not wish that, you can just click "no" on the box and nothing will happen. Link.

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
big problem... I get on for about 5 minutes... then it freezes up and I have to restart... I can either disconnect from the server and come right back in or close the whole client out, doesnt matter, I'm fine as soon as it starts back up for 5 more minutes, the game has been working fine for over a month, why is it doing this now?
I've already cleared my java cache and it didnt do anything, and I've tried playing single player and it runs fine... so its something about online play...

Re: Minecraft Survival Multiplayer Server
Do you have to be white listed on this server?
