On a side note...

IP RESTRICTION...

But my IP address changes....

Bullshit. You make enough money to call your provider and request a PERMANENT one. But they don't provide one. What the fuck? Are you on Dialup because most Cable, DSL, Broadband providers WILL give you a permanent IP if you pay monthly for leasing. Usually $20. Consider it a cost of doing business and a tax write off.

OK... But I AM ON DIALUP! So pay an admin here to setup a proxy on a dedicated server with a NON-ADULT hosting company picked at random. Have that proxy password protected.

Case closed...

The fact that a village idiot can get into this industry if he has $100,000 in inheritance money frightens me. It frightens me because when it comes to security you are all village idiots! Every last one of you!

90% of you have hackers on your boxes because they hacked your forum, your support system, your webcam software or by some other means. You don't know because all the hacker wants is your password DB and not the Emails.

They trade those DB's like Pokemon cards. They give 1 account away to each person who asks for them on newsgroups and IRC channels. It NEVER trips your strongbox, pennywize, proxy pass, etc, because they give each requester a different account. So even if the real user and the fake one use it at the same time they fall with in the AOL threshold (5 IP's in 15 minutes).

You all think.. Impossible because those previously mentioned programs shut this kinda shit down! No... They don't... Because each request gets a different account. This isn't password boards where 15,000 people get the same account. This is the designer version where everyone gets their own unique, free account.

But bandwidth is so cheap I don't give a fuck!... I know.. But in one channel on the IRC alone you will have up to 1000 people receive a password in a day. You are pissing away $35,000 a day! Smaller programs a few thousand...

Industry wide? About $800,000,000 a year is just pissed away...

OK.. Back to your original programming where you just bury your heads in the sand.
