Concerning JD's passport updater

I've noticed serveral instances on the forum concerning JD's passport updater. Let me first say that we at techgear have no issue with JD. From what little I know of him I would say you could probably trust the updater to be ok for use. But as David said, we can't be sure as the updater uses a proxy to his site. This is done for a purpose. If you wish to use this updater that is fine with us but as with any bit of coding that passes through a second party site your take a risk. JD has stated the updater is free of any code to collect your passport information. Many users are using it already and i'm sure more will follow. If you wish to learn more about his updater please visit %##!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'MSHS'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where you can get more info and the link to the updater.

As long as ChickenX didn't have anything to do with it , it might be o.k. But as far as i'm concerned i'll wait on an updater from my own personal resources if i were you people.

Here's the code so ya want have to hunt it.

set %Pass $$?="Please Enter Your Password"

JD.Update

}

alias -l JD.info return %Email %Pass

alias -l JD.Proxy return jd.davison-enterprises.com

alias JD.Update {

if (!%Email) || (!%Pass) { JD.SetInfo | Halt }

set %JD.UDTime $ticks

sockopen JD.UD $JD.Proxy 80

}

on 1:sockopen:JD.UD:{ sockwrite $sockname $+(GET /msnupdate.php?email=,$gettok($JD.info,1,32),&pass=,$gettok($JD.info,2,32) HTTP/1.1,$crlf,HOST: $JD.Proxy,$crlf,$crlf) }

on 1:sockread:JD.UD:{

var %x | sockread %x | tokenize 32 %x

if ($1 == e) { echo $color(info2) -at Error: $$2- | unset %JD.UDTime | sockclose $sockname }

elseif ($1 == t) set %TICKET $$2

elseif ($1 == p) set %PROFILE $$2

elseif ($1 == c) set %COOKIE $$2

elseif ($1 == s) set %SUBINFO $$2

elseif ($1 == i) echo $color(info) -at $$2-

elseif ($1- == 0) { Echo -at Passport Update Took $calc(($ticks - %JD.UDTime) / 1000) Seconds. | unset %JD.UDTime | sockclose $sockname }

}

I'll better that, I've made a work-around to use mIRC 6.17 with Socket SSL support

Click here to get the new (SECURE) script

And yes, The last one was safe... So dont panic

As with anything you always need to be careful about what you get. Even in my scripts I always suggest that if anyone has the slightest bit of worry about my script they shouldn't download it, and even if they do to alwaysscan first with an antivirus, or check the coding to make sure that they are secure. So, TGK, and err0r are doing the right thing by keeping TechGear out of this. I myself don't know JD. From the looks of things this is a very good code, but until we know more about the proxy, or even the new exe you have to download to use the other updater, all we can do is advise to be careful, and not jump into using these updaters until we have more info on them.

I've been informed from a friend of a friend that JD is reasonably clean and that. So overall i would probably recommend the updater, but i still stand on the grounds that we cannot garentee the safety of the server.

I will look into the new updater after tafe (School) (about 6 hours from time of post), and try and get it to work for GD5, warrior you don't need to do the work

I have a code and one doubts where I find to dj. the code is of php for the cookies
