Several Suggestions

Postby DeadlyDevices » Wed May 11, 2005 6:22 am

1. Make Password Breaking Tougher
By adding such things as:
OCR
Limit of trys (possibly per connection or by time)
"Fake" passwords which report logs to the police automatically, put up to defend from breakers, because people who have real passwords wouldnt try it.
Police monitering previously broken passwords for tries with comprimsed passwords

2. Add random effects during hacking attempts
Such as...
Random police monitoring various government database more efficently
Banks hiring expert monitors (banks and gov. dbs should be as simple to hack as a random company)
Various "traps" set up by high-profile companies to see hackers
Banks using a combination of passwords, not just one

3. Add more programs
Such as...
Exploiter (finds badly put websites exploits which basically gives good access without hacking and risking being caught unless you make it obvious)
Warez Downloader (has a low chance of finding some warez, so you dont have to buy everything, although some come with errors,viruses, etc.)
Trojans/Viruses/Spyware (spyware can fill you screen with popups)
Ability to work for just one company, only get jobs from them against rivals
Ability to use trojans to gain access to various personal computers instead of servers (contacting business individuals can sometimes be quite hard for the popo)
Ability to "snitch" on other agents/hackers in exchange for money and lenience from popo

Ill add more I as think of them, have a good day :)

Well here's a novel idea. If you want to do that, go buy the DevCD and do it. Otherwise shut up.

What's up with making some sugggestions?

Although DeadlyDevices, I can see Rkiver's point. It's probably not a good idea to appear on a forum and start bitching about the quality of a productive and respected member's work...

Im sorry, the "Ideas for future addons and sequels" statment under the forum made me think you guys were looking for suggestions.

Oh, and I forgot trying to help was disrespecting the creator!

.. Honestly though, sorry for trying to help.. my bad.

Since the game is no longer in further development, if you want these things, code it yourself. Thats basically what we are saying.

No longer in development?!?! but they were so close to completing version 2.43! Although I do guess they need to focus more on "Darwinia 4: The Return to OZ" :P

Because if they closed down they would have to evict us and then we would have no where to live.

Truth:
I think mainly because there is still a fan base for the game and this place provides an offical gathering point. Plus although the game may not be offically in development people still make mods for the game and ideas get taken from here

I was speaking about this subforum, but I see your point.

Thanks :)

The "plus" part of my last post refers to this subforum. People who plan to make mods usually would look here first to see what's been suggested and whats being done.

Actually no, people making mods will look in the section devoted to those of us with the DevCD. If someone is going to make a mod they usually have a clear plan of what they want to do.
