Hay una explicacion muchísimo mas sencilla sobre cómo funciona el CDS. Si aplicamos la navaja de Occam seguro que muchos estarán de acuerdo en que es la más probable:

La mayoría de los visores con funciones ilegales han sido hechos por el mismo equipo de hackers aparentando ser distintas personas (incluso peleadas entre ellas, para dar más veracidad al engaño). Estos hackers venden sus visores ilegales trucados y con dichos visores, además de sacar el dinero a la gente en la venta, sin que ellos lo sepan les toman sus datos de nombre de avatar y password al conectarse (es extremadamente fácil de hacer y todos recordarán la cantidad de comentarios que se han leído en los foros acerca de que al conectarse siempre fallaban la primera vez con cada avatar nuevo, misteriosamente) Estos datos van directamente a la base de datos que hoy se usa en el Gemini CDS, junto con el nombre del visor utilizado y alguna que otra información más.

Después este mismo equipo finge haber inventado un gran sistema de detección de visores ilegales (como el CDS) y cobra dinero también por utilizarlo, así como cobra dinero por quitar de esa base de datos los nombres de quienes lo paguen (sin hacerlo público, claro). Por cierto, en esa base de datos hay mucha gente que jamás ha usado un visor ilegal, pero que ha sido incluída ahí por Skills Hak para perjudicarlos por ser competidores peligrosos o gente de la que se quería vengar; como no tiene que demostrar nada puede hacerlo cuando le venga en gana. Es decir, es todo un negocio pensado así ya de antemano desde el principio. Un negocio que LL debería abortar ahora mismo si es que no tiene nada que ver con dicho negocio.

De ese modo es fácil comprender por qué y cómo los nombres están en esa base de datos y por qué puede saberse de antemano cuáles son todos los alters utilizados por la misma persona y por qué esa persona queda baneada automáticamente a través de cualquiera de sus nombres de avatar, aunque ya no utilice nunca más alguno de los visores ilegales por los cuales averiguaron sus datos.

Los expertos en estos temas aquí sabrán que lo que he dicho es muchísimo más fácil y simple de hacer que cualquier sistema de diálogo HTTP interno mediante scripts hacia el parcel multimedia

Por cierto, he podido comprobar que una de las cosas para las que sí que funciona realmente el CDS es para enmascarar cualquier labor de copia ilegal que Skills Hak quiera realizar con su script en el terreno de quien lo instale (y tambien con bots no necesariamente en el mismo terreno) El aparato permite copiar libremente al disco duro de Skills Hak y sus secuaces (Ash Qin, LukaStar Mattercaster, Cinndreia Messmer, GEMINIbot Inventor, Lonely Bluebird, Fractured Crystal) todo lo que se halle en el terreno que lo tenga instalado, constantemente. Incluso cualquier cosa que se ponga después. Además, también permite que algunos visores ilegales fabricados por ella puedan conectarse a ese terreno sin ser detectados ni por LL. ¡Menudo negocio han hecho los dueños de tiendas dejándose engañar por hackers! DD Les está bien empleado por creer ciegamente en algo que jamás les han mostrado ni demostrado y que encima perjudica a sus clientes actuales y a todos sus clientes potenciales.

I am an ex linden employee…They hired four people just to keep me from the game. I use my own client i made called SLSOLDIER in which i leave in all 123 selective “enhancements” to the game so you can decide which exploit you want to be famous for before that avatar is banned! Also my client can change the incoming amount of lindens as you receive them, i.e. from 10L to 1000L with a click. There are many moar tricks in the client which will continue to make Lindens, Mark-Tori-Thom-Lisa and Ben all shit their pants for years to come!

I think all of us should go take a giant virtual poop on the linden land as often as we can….see my blog for insights and details.

NIGHTMARE DENCH

somehow the INF team who have been cracking all these private viewers like neillife private and HXO have gotten hold of the source code for the onyx viewer

http://inflife.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/judgement/

Yes they do. They also have the right to access data about your PC that identifies it.

I’ll even agree that people also have a right to limit what can be used to access their land. BUT…

Skills is NOT a Linden Lab employee, right? Here’s my question:

Skills will not, of course, say exactly WHAT data is being collected or how. If someone had used a client on the CDS “bad list” ***in the past***, even for testing purposes or just out of simple curiousity, then what is it that gives her CDS and it’s users the right to rifle through our PCs using whatever methods she found that are able to detect it without first employing a system of asking for consent to be scanned before entering the area?

The TOS allows Linden Lab to collect data on our hardware and PCs. We consent to this when we sign up and log in. I do not recall that consent extending to any third parties. Because of this lack of user consent the system may run afoul of privacy laws in some countries, and Skills refuses to disclose how it works. Therefore we have no way of knowing other then simply placing our faith in the one and only person allowed to look at it’s internals?

Now, if the system were only able to detect current use of an undesirable client on an active avatar, but not past use when an avatar encounters it in the official Linden viewer I would feel more secure about this system being used. When you get into detecting past use, especially when a “clean” avatar is logged into Second Life from a computer that a “bad” client was used on with a different account, this means one of a few possible things to me:

1. The system is using some method of looking at cache data, or other files stored on a user’s system without consent. This violates privacy laws in some countries, and thus is in violation of the TOS.
2. The system’s developer has something to do with the clients it is meant to detect, especially the ones that send out information about it’s use, and is using information obtained from these clients to identify not only the currently logged in avatar but all others using the PC. Again, these programs are sending data to a third party without disclosure and are in violation of the law in at least a few countries.

In the case of #1: Nice tricks, but you’re breaking the TOS and the law. The system needs to be modified so that consent to search is given.

In the case of #2: Fraud is being committed as well as violating the laws of several countries SL is available in.

LL needs to step up and demand that those who employ CDS on their land disclose their usage of CDS in the beginning of their search descriptions so that SL users can make an informed decision about whether they wish to allow the Gemini CDS to be looking at their data before teleporting in AND require that the CDS display a dialog to accept the scan before initiating it, teleporting the resident back where they came from if they decline.

Alternatively, Skills could always prove that the CDS is not up to no good by opening up the code and allowing it to be freely inspected. Oh wait, that might cut into the profits that paranoid fashionistas are dumping into renewing their subscriptions.

As usual, SL Fashionistas and snotty builders that think everyone wants to steal their statues drag a world of bullshit onto the grid in their anti-copybot hysteria. If we applied their logic to real life, well…

Anyone with a car capable of driving above the posted speed limit on the highway is guilty of speeding, and thus should be subject to revocation of their license imposed upon being located in the presence of said motor vehicle regardless of ownership, because they might break a window and steal it.

Smells like the same bullshit that drives sales of the CDS to me.

I mean think about it. . . In a game like this, what’s the difference between a wanted poster and a rogue’s gallery?
