I recently had a big security breach on my mud and was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. I had a user that was able to access any of the god commands. He could kill any mob with a single blow and modify his stats and turn off hunger and thirst. He could see any god even when they were invisible. He could also goto anywhere and read the immort board and hear the wiznet. He sure had a lot of fun with the online creation.... Anyway, I spoke with him and he claimed to be some security analyst. He said all diku-based muds have some huge holes. Of course he wouldn't share any of his little secrets with me. He said most people wouldn't be able to hack one.... Either my immorts are lying to me and helped this guy out or there is a big hole in the security. Any comment, questions, advice?
