Dear Friends,
I have decided to write this post and gather some opinions from users that want to encourage the "extinsion" of ACP.
First of all, ACP = Admin Control Panel and it reffers to Administrator level access on a DarkOrbit server (int1, int2, fr1, etc.). We (the players) have Home level access and thus the Admin is higher. Therefore and Admin can modify any user giving or taking items from the account (item = ship, drones [even number], designs, ammo, pilot points, etc. - practically anything.
ACP can be obtained by 3 methods (as far as I know):
1. an administrator of DO gives you his username/password (doubt it...)
2. you CRACK it using Brute Force or similar junk
3. you HACK the server using a remote exploit and give yourself a hidden administrator user (thus access)
Option 1 is impossible, as employes of Bigpoint sign NDA (Non Disclosure Agreements) which are killers in term of law. Pure jail for them in such a situation.
Option 2 is lame. It can be done and it maybe was done but it is unsafe. I say it is lame because only crackers use cracking software to obtain something powerfull (so to say). Unsafe because BPoint have backup servers and I bet a beautiful sync software that spots sudden differences almost instantly. Beside this the server do track the IP addresses that use those accounts (Admin) and you would not be glad for your IP to appear in their list.
Option 3 is a beauty. However it isn't recommended due to the unsafe details above. Also HACKING a BPoint server would be quite difficult I think. The tracking in this case however could turn to 0, in case the hacker uses 2 servers, connects to server 1 and from there to server 2 and FROM THERE he actually hacks the BPoint server. After access is granted, he deletes info of connections on server 1.
Thus, ONCE AND FOR ALL, I would recommend all users to F O R G E T about ACP as it is not something good at all. For any of you! I bet that any of you as a player wouldn't be happy to see at the news that another player is doing jail because he made commerce with ACP (seller/buyer - doesn't matter).
In conclusion I am asking any of you to post your opinion but mostly to encourage users in generally NOT TO USE or CRAWL FOR ACP !!!
Best regards,
