[SIZE="2"]Yeah, so I hear a lot about people being hacked here on SG lately.
Let me explain some shit to you before you come to me saying you've been hacked.
[SIZE="4"]
PASSWORDS:[/SIZE]
- They are md5 salted meaning it takes a lot to get the password.
- Hashed is another encryption method that makes it nearly impossible to guess or get.
[SIZE="4"]
Who has access to passwords?[/SIZE]
There's only two people here on SG that have access to passwords, and that's Travis and I. We will also never ask you for your password. I can type a command and get your password.
The ONLY way to get someone's password is by having access to server files... which only two people do. TRAVIS AND MYSELF.
I DIDNT DO IT HE GUESSED IT.
Bullshit. If you're stupid enough to put "runescape" "donthackme" "lololol" as your passwords, don't bother asking me to recover it for you.
I promise you it is 100% IMPOSSIBLE to get someone's ingame password with out files.
I've been on this server for almost 6 years, and I've never been hacked.

How do I protect myself?[/SIZE]
- Don't give out your passwords? [Obvious one]
- Don't share accounts with ANYONE! [Obvious one]
- Don't download other RuneScape Private Servers, especially ones your friends say to play. They will have 100% access to your passwords used on that server.
- Don't use the same password on SilabGarza that you use anywhere else. It's not safe to use the same password on other RSPS!
- If you're EVER asked for your password by anyone [admins, mods, players] you report that immediately and block them.
- Set a pin on your account so you can recover it immediately. Talk to Lady Servil at ::home.
I've heard it from a shit ton of people "I didn't tell him, he guessed it!"
Maybe if you wouldn't use that same password on other servers they won't be able to guess it?
[SIZE="4"]
TL;DR [/SIZE]
Stop letting people hack you.
Protect yourself.
If someone asks for your password, tell them fuck off and report them.[/SIZE]

Quote:MD5 is one way encryption the only way you can get the plaintext is by getting the salt n key and then encrpting a shitload of words till once matches the encrypted text- Encrypted: Means you have to decrypt before you can even use it.
