Boredom does wonders...

So I remembered about a long-forgotten thread how a guy's rcon always got hacked even if he changed it every now and then, and so I made a pass generator script. It creates a random RCon password every half an hour, a password that no one can hack.

(EDIT: Keep in mind this has been made before there was the ability to set a list of people who can use the RCon)

Features:

The script has 3 difficulty levels:

First difficulty is 6 symbols without any special ones (like @ and #), only numbers and letters (in different cases, so both Z and z are possible).
Example:

Second difficulty is 6 symbols WITH special ones.
Example:

Third difficulty is 8 symbols with special ones.
Example:

You can edit the difficulty level in the script, on

line.

The RCon password it creates is broadcast by msg2 to admins (recognized by USGN IDs, you can set them in the table on first line). Admins can also say "rcon" (without quotes) to open a menu with one item - the RCon password (the menu does nothing, it just has a button with the password so you can rewrite it).

A new password is generated every half an hour. You can also generate it manually by writing this in console:


Report any bugs you find!

Have fun and be secure!

Nice Lua

I had the same idea and wanted to be sure if random RCon generator has been already done. That's a pity it has. Great idea, I wonder of likes' amount. Fifteen only?

this is just a great way to have a secure server.

Its useless for me, because am using a hard Rcon.

Still deserve a like.

Add another mode "difficulty = 1337" which sets the password to something with alt+.. too, and another one "difficulty = 9001" which generates a password with spacebars and ~`+¤¡²³¤€¼½¾‘’¬«»¶´ç¿

You too sharply concern criticism and other opinions. Work over itself.

If you have a constant rcon password that is not changed often, then if a hacker wants to hack your server - they will succeed.



You basically do manually what this script can help you to not care about. You are trying to prove how this script is bad because one can do it manually, but scripts are about making life easier, and you're just refuting the whole point of them.

And also, it was stupid repeating 'your move' after me, no offence.

@ EngiN33R: is it possible to change the time limit the rcon generates

Off course.
Hm... Hackers can crack 10-place password from letters and numbers? And it for me not so is important.
Same not the bank account:)
P.S.: I do not write any sense in the passwords. I try also random to write a set of symbols and numbers.

Your move.

Okay, might you be so kind as to elaborate why the idea of this is bad?

Sure one can think up a password, but with this script it changes automatically every 30 minutes, therefore allowing you not to care about hackers that wish to hack your server. Plus, having a random set of characters is better than thinking a password up, because when a person thinks something up it usually makes sense. The passwords this thing generates don't make sense, therefore you'll require lots of time for bruteforce or an external application to hack them.

Your move.

wow really great lua.. i can really use this thanks

Nice one, EngiN33R! Small and useful.

Good joB !

Good Script

For work - good
Idea - bad.
It is possible also most to think up the password... It for at whom imaginations do not suffice.

Nise script

Oh nice script, nice idea as well

Very Useful :DD
Thx for good work

Lol nice!
I liked your script

Add another mode "difficulty = 1337" which sets the password to something with alt+.. too, and another one "difficulty = 9001" which generates a password with spacebars and ~`+¤¡²³¤€¼½¾‘’¬«»¶´ç¿
