Dekaron Password Reset Tool

This tool will change the passwords of all your Dekaron accounts to a 14 character, case-sensitive, alphanumeric string. Such as "8f9EobZouaMztW".

You can use the tool both on the dedicated server or off it. It is easiest to just use on the dedicated server by clicking the check box for "Windows Authentication" then you don't have to enter anything, just click and go!

The other feature on this tool is importing your new passwords to a MySQL database for your website or forums. Just fill out the correct information and go. You may run into Authentication errors on MySQL, try and use the root login if possible, or your main account login for whatever hosting you're using. The MySQL importer requires MSSQL connectivity as well of course, so make sure that is setup properly also.



Here are some pictures of the tool:

The password scrambler equals completely useless? The importer to MySQL is ok, but honestly installing MySQL on the same host just to run a website would be ridiculous since you already have a database server running. Maybe your learning programming? I don't know. On a scale of usefulness 1-10 I give this about a 2. Because it honestly doesn't seem to make of any use. You wanna reset everyone's passwords so they cant login anymore? Then take them out of a data server to put them into another one that's easier for hackers to access? Its a nice program but lost for words of wtf to do with it.

Reseting passwords is useful if your server has a security breach and the players information is no longer secure. For example, a thought to be trusted staff member quits and steals a copy of the db on the way out.

This was made for Dragonwag as he needed to change the passwords for FSG. So, that's why it was made, I figured some other people may find use for it, so I posted it up here. That's all.

Also, I never said the MySQL had to be on the same host, it will import from any MSSQL database to any MySQL database remotely.

Resetting everyone's passwords with such long strings would be more of a pain of getting everyone to change it then its worth. Passwords are MD5 encrypted so even if a team mate takes the database im sure he wont get far on cracking the passwords in the first place (there isn't a single full MD5 cracker out yet). And using the same password on the website as ingame would be security risk #2 if their on separate hosts. What im saying is out of every dekaron "developer" on the internet, one might download and try this. The only perk that saves your post is providing these kids with source code.

a php script sure would do this alot better tbh, but its cool, i guess . . . i may have to agree with war a little bit like on this, i cant think of how it would be beneficial to use enuff to actually download it, but i would give him an A for effort still.

TBL_USER isn't used by the server. A real server has that table deleted. So passwords are only MD5.
