Authentication question
- Thread starter Xx69xX
- Start date
There's authentications that require selecting the correct picture(s) like select the 3 ships or the 2 flowers etc, this I would think would be easier for those who have problems maybe?
Just an idea.

Think this has been said by BH 100 times. They never expected this system to be infallible and prevent bots indefinitely, it's meant to just make it more difficult. If I were making bots for Mir, and constantly had to update my engine with little money gain (since they're being banned pretty efficiently now) then think I'd just give it up as a bad job in end.
No system is infallible. Even a picture guess can be bypassed. The arithmetic is a very good way of doing it. Also, I would look at some of the APIs google have to incorporate a CAPTCHA system.
You could also then incorporate a randomisation of the system that you get. So sometimes youll get the CAPTCHA, sometimes the arithmatic, and maybe some other system. This way, the bots have no idea what they are going to get, so makes it a LOT harder and a lot more work for them to detect that.
Of course, as I said at the start, it will be bypassed eventually - but CAPTCHA makes it increasingly difficult. BY the time that is cracked, you could have come up with a plethora of different methods you could then include in the authentication system.
The reason the arithmetic one will be easy to crack, is that you can guarantee it will be a maths question, so you just need to call, and read, the text every time. IF you vary the methods, and even just the location on the screen, transparency, and color of the authentication windows, this makes it a LOT harder to automate.

Most people can use a calculator.
There's one on yr phone.
I don't believe there is social inclusion anywhere else on the internet. I doubt mir should be a trailblazer in this area. Staff have quite enough to do already.

I said before what is needed, if your to lazy to fix when your making money from the game its a dam shame
I posted the video showing how easy it is to bypass this type of thing and you still have not fixed
could of been sorted within the hour

And I replied to you, yet you bring it up again.
As has been said to you (5th time now I think) this is the first release of a system that will be updated and changed over time in order to lessen the impact on players.
If and when the bots work it out, the system will be adjusted and this will delay them again. And again when they work it out we will adjust it again.
It is not a catch all system, it was never designed to be this, no software is, all software is updated over time depending on what is needed.

Yes you keep saying this the first version thats what i don't get
I'am trying to help you
you should of added the system i said, the system you have now is a fail, my video proves this but your not understanding at all
you say when the bots work it out it will be adjusted, don't you get it ?
once the bots have it added thats it, don't matter what sums you put in it will beat with no extra code for them
Look at c# its got 3 bots i know about working very nice, you need to just add the system i stated and it will stop them pritty good
and yer it will take what 1 hour to add ? better than doing what your current plan is
and for god sake do as i stated b4 hash the client your allowing speed cheats

When I say we are updating the system , I do not mean we are just simply changing the numbers on the maths questions. A number of changes where and are made to the client in order to delay the bots, the maths questions are only one part of the system.

-edit- I ask and Sam responds. You mean Obfuscation not Hashing, different things. Least that's cleared up for me
