Utility: Linux Admining

[Gandalf Parker]

servers see everything
OK It has come up that someone has accessed someone elses nation and changed their turn actions. This has been verified. Its not unexpected and Ive been prepared for a long time. Yes I know that "is what happens when you dont password protect your god" or by using sloppy passwords when playing network games. Getting caught at it is also what happens when you play network games. Servers see EVERYTHING.

Servers can see what IP uploads a turn. So the servers are able to see who is using player files they shouldnt be using.
Example for Linux

while [ x ]
do
cat IPlog.txt|grep \*|sort |uniq >IPusers.txt

for x in `seq 1 1000`
do

netstat -n |grep 63.199.8.157:8|cut -d: -f2 >listIP.txt
cat listIP.txt|\
while read PID IP
 do
  if [ $PID ]
   then
    GAME=`ps ax|grep dom3|grep $PID|cut -dg -f2|cut -d" " -f2`
    LOGINS=`tail -1 $DIR/$GAME/game.log`
    echo $IP" "$GAME" "$LOGINS >>IPlog.txt
  fi
 done

sleep 10
done
done

Also, if the user is the same as is in the game, or any game on that server then the 2h files can be checked for matching serials. The dom3 command switch of --verify gamename will create .chk files for each .2h and part of the information is a serial hash.

example for linux

cd ~/dominions3/savedgames

for gaym in `ls -1`
do
   nice dom3 --verify $gaym
done

grep serial */*.chk |cut -d" " -f4 |sort -n |uniq -c |sort -n
cd -
