New Buzzen Auth

Hi, I did all that, the md5 routine returns the same byte sequence as that website, however, I am sending the bytes, not the hex string that the website gives you.

 

I still get the erroneous nickname thing.

 

I went to the irc server and logged in, I got a message about nick Guest_Guest being in use, so I changed my nickname there (it was appearing as a jumble for some reason). After that I could join fine.

 

Next I tried to connect again with the bot, still get the erroneous nickname. I get this returned before I do the USER nic nic nic thing.

 

I'm at a loss to explain it.

 

I did find something while poking around, on the webpage source of the new chat theres a variable that reads like this.. fvTicket=ao7YC9wpefgsegtrthsrthrhrh ..now i'm not sure what that actually is but I cannot find anything else on the page to do with user info. The old chat used to have your cookie in the renderchat call. Now if you could auth just using that ticket, that would be alot easier, lol.

 

Anyway, I'll keep trying.

1. you need to send it in hex, not bytes. If you are using mirc then current version has md5$ function.

2. don't post your session info in public.

What's the difference? The new chat is and has been down more then up.

wiley you are talkign a load of rubbish!

Only time it is down now is for updates which take no more than 2mins max!

strange that yahoo cause a few have said its allways down

they have been complaining that v1 isnt working correctly and v2 is allways down

least thats the complaints i have seen

You get moofed a lot..that's for sure. And though ok..updates are needed...I don't think the 40896 server announcements ( in same language) are?

they are going through some growing pains i'm sure. i say give em a break during the transition. So many of us were hard on them about using the ocx and now they are trying to move away they are still getting fussed at. I know everyone wants a stable system but it takes time to work bugs out. Just give them awhile and see what happens. I'm not using their service so i can't really say much about their uptime. I can say they are at least trying to please their users ( as far as i've seen ). Just give them a bit of time.

Rubbish? Pfft.

I was bored last night and decided to pop by a freinds room on Buzzen. It was empty as usual. So I want to one of the Espresso bars. I asked whay the new version looked the same as the old one and was told the new was down, and that it was down more then up. THAT was from users in Buzzen. I was also not trying to bash you, as i do realise it takes hard work and time to get this stuff right. I was making an observation based on what I saw. Sorry if I tinkled in your cheerios.

I confirm what Yahoo said : it's only down for server updates and it doesn't last long, 2 minutes is the average. I don't know why you've been told that it was more down than up! There is for sure still a certain amount of bugs but those server reboot are the consequences of the bug fixes and it is surely not more down than up

Yeah there has been a lot of "whinners" but there also been people who are happy with the new service. You can't please everyone.

all good things take time and trial and erorr ect...

we was all there at one time or another, Buzzen is going thout the same thing but at a much larger scale

what there doing isnt nothing like a mirc script trying to get it to join a msn room

look back and rember the old days

what was new to us was hard and very little help

Buzzen is going thou the same thing

new ocx and trying to get away from old habbits of repaeting same mistakes that was worked out in msn's ocx er wait didnt they also update and dc peeps

i see them trying as hard as msn did if not harder

i think they need a brake and maybe instead give them some encoragment

there new ocx ect... they have added soemthings that msn refused to even try

like right click option for +q with reg peeps

host helper (silver hammer)

super owner (cant even be kicked from there room if they made it

humm msn could have learnd a thing or 2 i think

and buzzen could have learnd as much also from msn

anyways i wish them the best of luck

Well, having not read this thread for a while I was surprised to find so many replies, none of the latter ones are on topic, either. Still, as long as we all get our say. I find it interesting that the people defending buzzen are the ones contracted to work for them, but thats only my observation, thier own forums are the same.

Personally I think buzzen made an error in moving away from the msn ocx, it worked well and everybody was familiar with it, and it wouldn't bother me that it wasn't my own ocx, I guess some people are just sensitive. I've never had issues with chat server providers using the ocx, and I can't really see the argument of other people that do have a problem with it. I think buzzen would be better off putting time, effort and money into increasing stability of it's network, improving connections and reducing lag. And while we are the subject, I think the new chat they have sucks, it has little to no security and I'm guessing the naughty people of chat are already taking advantage of that.

Buzzen is a victim of it's own success, the more it grows the worse it seems to become, I remember Espressobar having 40 chatters was considered a busy time, but there were no major issues.

well i have to agree with Psych in away also

but i also see buzzen trying to get the independace

i have found a few major flaws in there new ocx

and yes the BAD people could find them also or not

but what ever server there is them bad people will always be there

i guess thats were your service admin ect... should come in and do there job acordingly

sorry for the spelling i have no excuse;s

Well I wasn't defending them. I just know how far along they came, from the old xmsn days until now. I've been there since the start, I like how they are going somewhere beside using the msn ocx, that died when msn closed.

Yeah, you gotta let them work the bugs out. Buzzenv2 is cool I guess. I prefer the stability and quality with VSIXc. I don't think they will ever really attain that level at BuzzenV2 using FlashIRC. But its cool. Nice emotes and some cool features.

/server -m irc.buzzen.net 6667

/raw loginh <email> $md5(password)

Now, getting a room list isn't as simple.

I like the way you can get all user gates on the channel in 1 call, however getting gender information and profile status is still a mystery to me. I'm sure all will become clear over time.

Either way, if we still want to chat on buzzen, we'll have to get used to it, lol.

you mean /who $chan ? Thats standard IRC. I think Buzzen had it disabled before out of fear of flooding out the server.

it has little to no security and I'm guessing the naughty people of chat are already taking advantage of that.

msn ocx had security issues too and much worse, for example: it was possible to crash the whole browser and sometimes that crashed windows too, buffer-overflow issues, cloning, unkickables, etc...

So far we had no critical security issue like buffer-overflow. And any security issue that was rated as high was patched within 24hrs.

geez i have always been one to say using the msn ocx is a bad idea and although Psych doesn't seem to recall any valid arguments i've seen plenty on why using the msn ocx is not a good idea. I have no ties whatsoever to buzzen. I see them moving in a positive direction and think they deserve a bit of credit as well as understanding that the process is going to have bumps. As i've stated before i don't chat on the network. I visited it a week or so ago and looked at the new chat and thought it was pretty good. I entered a room called coffeehouse i believe. It had 64 users and was active. But as wiley pointed out, the best way to know how things are is to ask the ppl that chat there all the time. Not the staff. They are gonna be biased. That's just the way it is. But you have to remember there are also those that like to piss and moan no matter what. You have to just overlook those ppl. Anyways i really have no dog in this fight so to speak. I personally think VSIXc is the way to go

Sth for the erroneous nick

Can someone plz tell me wtf STH means? iLia types that alot.:|

it's best not to question the iLia
