Well, it was worth a try. Although I'd think that at least in the case of low level trouble makers and script kiddies some combination of blocking IP, MAC, and ID0 should be enough to keep them out. Besides, if anything its really just another tool at our disposal to make it at least a little bit more difficult for them to get in. :)

the viewer could send a false uuid in place of the hard drive uuid without necessarily modifying the hard drive

    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
                Grid Administrator
                Virtual Realms Grid..
