I believe the viewer also adds in a third safe guard in combination with
IP / MAC address. Long ago while tinkering around with the viewer
logins I remember seeing mentions of an ID0 floating around thats sent
to the login service as part of the login data packet. If I understood
correctly, this is supposedly the UUID of the user's first hard drive -
which in fact cannot be changed without physically replacing the drive
itself (see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Current_login_protocols).

Yeah, I think like websites the only thing you can ultimately do is
ban by IP for a period. Otherwise, they could always just create a
new account, change their MAC address, etc. Of course, they can
change their IP too but this is the most hassle.

Other than banning by IP or MAC address, I don't know.

I see there has been a post about this issue before. My post here
is two fold.. One is to apologize to the grids
that have been victim to this and to request that other grids do
not restrict hypergrid access from my grid.. Also
to start a discussion about steps to prevent this in the
future.. I have been notified yesterday and this morning
I have a griefer registering on the Virtual Realms Grid then
going to other grids to grieve them.. I have take
steps to ensure this does not happen anymore.. I have restricted
new user creations to administrative approval till
we have sort out a good practical preventive measure on this type
of abuse. And would like to extend an apology to
any grid that have been a victim to this by any of the grids
users.. I will be looking at ways to prevent this from
happening in the future.. To this end any suggestions to help
grids prevent this from happening would be welcomed..
Thank you,
Todd Davis
