command line root

[Kewun]

What is the command line to run linux server when using root account?

[Murdock]

You simply dont

[Kewun]

I do. Stop lieing. I already found it.

[Thijn]

What Murdock means is you shouldn't.

What if your IRC script is broken, and you have an exec command that for some reason can be used by everyone.
Can you guess what happens when someone uses the system() function using that? I can basically take over your VPS, lock you out, steal all your files, DDoS people and let your VPS taken down while you get the blame.

So, do not run your server as root.

[Kewun]

Well, thats right
but i dont have any exec command or broken irc scripts

How do you know that? I managed to (or more specifically reached a point where I can) take down EC - one of the biggest servers in VCMP - using IRC injection.

Best security here - nobody want to hack vc-mp servers. Don't care about security.

because i dont have any irc shits or exec shits

How are you so sure about that? From what I've seen you copy-pasted so many scripts who knows what could be in there

[Kewun]

And how are you sure? You don't have my server,. And I copy pasted like only 2 scripts

Locked because I don't want get more spams in this topic by people which are still complaining that I have broken scripts
