[MISC] P-Protect V 0.1 - Password Protect your server

Hi I have newly made this mod/plugin.
its protects your server with a password "batch" file
Version: v0.1

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

To change the password just right click the "run" file and open it with notepad. edit 'password'.
just remove the old run file and replace it with this

Code:

IF '%var%' == 'password' GOTO 1

WARNING: Don't remove the ' ' or it wont work!

Protect your server with a password:
Features:
* Protects your server with a batch file
* Easy to install
* Works for all bukkit!

Changelog:
Version 0.1
* Released the mod/plugin

 

This is no plugin...

Code:

@echo off
title Log In
set /p var=password please:

IF '%var%' == 'password' GOTO 1
echo Don't try to hack the server!
pause
exit

:1
cls
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
PAUSE

And lol how is this password protected? If somebody want to start your server they just make a new .bat

 

I know I thinking on it but.... every 1 isnt so smart xD. but I will think it out!

 

lolwut? How is this even anything? All you did is packaged a batch file XD which does close to nothing, why would you want to password protect your startup batch? This looks like a sad excuse to try and get the Plugin Developer tag which I have seen a lot lately. This is not a plugin... *sigh*

 

I dont know why... but some one maybe want to... and I dont want the plugin developer tag!
I just make this beacuse I had nothing to do!

 

Lolyay as if they couldn't edit the bat file and see the password, smart guy is smart lul

 

Nevertheless, a plugin should:

[*]Use a plugin.yml
[*]Be written in Java
[*]For the most part use Bukkit's or Craftbukkit's API
[*]Do something

 

Most important part ^

 

Only real use I see for this is if the server was on a family computer and you didn't want anyone to start minecraft, and no-one else was tech savvy. Otherwise, why would you want to prevent someone starting the minecraft server? If someone hacked into your server they would probably be more interested in shutting it down, corrupting your world, or something else.

Just my thoughts.

I know you probably spent some time on this, even though you were bored, and it is very well written for a batch file. My suggestion to you, if you really want to contribute to the bukkit community, is to learn some java and create another plugin. If you need any help getting started just give me a PM and I'll help you through creating one. It's not really that hard if you do some research, like you did for your batch file.

title missing information

 

Oh god I hope you're joking...

 

lol
this doesn't protect anything. not the server, not the batch.

 

*facepalm* That is all...

 

I don't think he bothered to look at the actual post.
At least, that's what I'm desperately hoping.

Chris

 

I am 95% sure he doesn't read the posts when the title is wrong....

 

nope

Well I did take a quick look at it, but nothing major

Finally somebody notices what is missing

 

I think what is really missing is an actual plugin?
Are you saying that if the title followed the guidelines, this would be pushed to Plugin Releases?

Chris

 

Of course not, but I do 20-30 submissions at once, so if the title is completely wrong I only look at the post, don't read it. I read it when the title is fixed, since I post the whole submission guidelines, people often redo the post too anyway.

Now since this is a bat file, I'd move it to tools when it looks ok, even tools should have a proper title.

 

Really? At least compile it to an exe to have some basic security.

 

Except that any antivirus worth running will detect a packed BAT and stop it's execution.

 

Ok, that's enough bashing. Leave the guy alone unless you have something constructive to say.

 

NICE!

Cool plugin!

 

Thank you

 

^ Oh dear.

Chris

 

seriously stop....

 

I might give you a little sympathy if you made a linux .sh version as well. Not all people use windows and only windows uses batch files. Even though I don't need one, hey some people might want it just like SOME people might want this.

 

Ok. thanks for answering. I will see if I can make one xD

 

The thing is though, having "password protect" in the title is a false statement, because there is no protection there.. Even if you did it properly and used a hash and prevented .bat from editing, people still can run the server by hand (without the bat), so there really is no protection whatsoever.

 

Yep this only protects computer noobs from starting your server. But why would a computer noob want to?

 

more importantly, how did he get access?
