[SA:MP] Good news

Hacking isn't easy at all.
Don't think there's a program like "Enter server name: Enter account name:   -HACK PASSWORD-"
There's nothing like that for anything actually. And if he wants to hack your random sentence - he'll be having some hard time.
I can write you guys a whole book here about that BUT, I'll keep my little tricks for myself so you don't use it in advantage.

[Astaroth]

Alright here's a trick for you guys to set hard passwords:

1. Think of a random sentence, like totally random!
Example: My toilet paper has 4 ear-plugs and smokes crack - over 9000.

2. Take the first letter of every word out!
Ex: Mtph4e-pasc-o9000

3. Let the hacker f**k his brains out.

Quoting it so it's visible on page 4.

Unique way to come up with a password but pretty sure a hacker can actually hack anything, because he's a hacker.

Agreed on that. If they can hack banks, I' m pretty sure a server is a piece if a cake. It is like a thief, if he want to get into your house, believe me, he will, how good your proprty is protected...

But I don't think it is easy to hack. I think it is more complicated tohack, than smash a window at take stuff

I was only talking about if it's your own accounts that's being aimed at. The database of the server and all of the accounts together is a whole other thing. :P

What if someone went inactive? how will one be able to change his pw while being inactive?

[MasterNeo]

Thanks for the update. Guys just use your native language in the password to make it hard.

If he wants he can hop on the server for a while and change it. If he can't, he just won't change it. =P

doesn't matter if native language or not, to make a secure password, add in numbers, characters, capitalized letters, just make it unique and long, so it can't be easily cracked.

I really hope server will be up until 30th, as of now it seems like it won't.

[Stivi]

Any account is breach-able, but might take years.

There is a chance it will be up soon, it depends.

I heard some stuff saying that all we are waiting upon is Gandalf to restart the server from hes end.

Yeah I see your point there, but what the heck, a hacker who causes a server shutdown for a couple of days he can at least hack an account.

He didn't cause the server shutdown, management did.
He had a view of passwords and he abused those passwords.
Server was probably shut down to prevent him from joining with other people's accounts and so.

On other side, server should've been up already if this is what we wait for:

we are waiting upon is Gandalf to restart the server

He's owner of this community afterall, it shouldn't be hard to join it once a day and check what's up.
