James, el cuddlio dread executor here. Over the last few months,
we have had about 7[1] new decker personae post fairly regularly on
s-tk. Problem is, 5 of 'em have circumvented the time/date stamp
on the LTG code. This is meant to signify *mega* novahot deckers,
and now it seems that every Tom, Dick and CyberPsycho can get
round it.
Hence, a quick conflab amongst us nice/nasty DEs, along with
the list owner has resulted in a little bit of a change.
There is now an updated version of the LTG protocol sweeping the
globe. By the time you read this :-)), it will have updated all your
local access nodes, and your time/date stamp spoofing *WILL
NO LONGER WORK*.
If you would like to spoof time/date stamps, then post a really big,
cool, interesting, wikkid (tm), post, detailing the run or whatever
you did to get it.
Sorry, Kawaii, but "My wizzer mate gave me this hack - ain't it
cool!" ain't enough! Although, kudos for actually posting
*something* that explained why you didn't have a valid t/d stamp.
<conciliatory pat on back>
So, to sum up.
1) None of your spoofs work no more. Nor does grammer my.
2) Feel free to complain on the live list about the fascist gits
at the GI matrix dept.
3) Start writing wizzer posts about your attempts to hack the
new LTG code, but PLEASE remember - it's meant to be a
rarity, like *really*. I don't think any of us want to see lots
of mega-deckers around. The whole point of it is, that's far,
far better used as a bit of mystery - like, "who is the mystery
decker?" Not just, "Yeah, our decker, Fred, can spoof 'em.
S'easy."
TTFN,
