Forum :: Lounge :: Quick Question

My mother doesn't think EOserv is secure and that Sausage or Sordie are hacking our computer can someone please argue this because she is threatening me saying its bad please someone say something like if this is secure or not.ty!

Lmfao!! Its 100% trusted.  Theres like 157 servers that have been made, and no one has said a thing about getting "Hacked".  Anyways, what would sausage want to do with someone elses computer when he has his own.  As far as i know, sausage never even bothers with EOserv anymore.

It's open source..if he was going to hack you, he wouldn't release the source to how he exploited your computer's security...

Why would Sausage create a forum for a hacking device? Plus, the forum he has made has active users, which shows they haven't been hacked.

-1???? Umm okey... No I told my mother Eoserv was created by Sausage and he had no control over your server and its host. She said well Ill go search this up. (Answer) Eoserv probally wont come up its not big-time..

EOSERV is a program so Sausage does not in fact have control over it. It is open-source and that allows you to edit it the way you like. There are plenty of users here who are willing to say it's safe to use and is not a virus, or anything of that sort. I have used it long enough to have seen all of the code and there is nothing bad in it. The only thing that comes close is SLN, which is where it sends your server info to eoserv.net to be shown on the sites server stats. That can be turned off too if you don't desire it.

The only thing I know that is bad with Seose is that Sordie put in a backdoor so she can make herself admin on anyone using Seose. She does not abuse her power, but if she wants to check a server out she can. She hasn't used that in awhile though.

Yes, I think it is reasonable for your parents to ask you that.  The forum is not even accessible from some hot spots because it is considered risky - I have no idea what they based that on but, being that I travel on my lappy a lot, I do get that block once in a while. 

I actually cannot say that it is safe cuz like, I don't know about that technical stuff :s but I've never heard of any hacking or can't imagine why they would wanna hack my lappy, omgz.  Do I think they can?   yeahhh lolz.

QUICK QUESTION

WHY IS YOUR MOM INVOLVED WITH ANYTHING EO RELATED? HUH? HMM? WUT?

Wish upon a star!

EOSERV itself is a verified trusted software package. It's been deployed in hundreds of installations without any negative repercussions and the source code has been verified by a number of local and independent developers.

The biggest security threat that it could possibly pose is that someone will open a server using a modified version of the source to record user passwords in unhashed form. However that isn't a defect in EOSERV, it's just a misuse of the software, and poses no threat whatsoever to your computer or your internet connection/hardware.

If you get your EOSERV binaries and source code from eoserv.net you can pretty much rest assured that you're getting a 100% unmodified, untampered copy.

On a closing note, when referring to Sausage you have to realise that this is the guy that would rewrite portions of code to make it execute a fraction of a second faster. Everything has been checked time and time again, and that includes extensive testing for potential exploits, which in the instances they have been found, have been fixed over the span of numerous revisions. If anything adding a backdoor to the code would be counter-productive, adding unnecessary size and inefficiencies to the code for a task that would be pointless anyway, because in a nutshell he doesn't care in the slightest about what's on your computer or gaining access to it.

So... rest assured. All is well in the world of EOSERV.
