    Editorial Heads Up / Change Your Password Often

    Hey, TNT! I recently spotted a [program] that seems to make the site easier to use by making searches show up on the Shop Wizard main page as opposed to on a separate page. Would using that be against the rules? I haven't downloaded it and I wanted to check before I did! Thanks!!! ~starrdomm
    Anything that alters site code is against the rules. Also, always be cautious about what you download. Many cheating programs get you to download them by claiming to do great things, while in fact they are secretly stealing your account information as you do so.
    Now in regards to clraik, this is FALSE. All programs made and approved to be hosted here at clraik are completely safe in terms of how safe your account information is!

    However, please note that the videos you see on YouTube (that are not affiliated with clraik) suggesting that they can get you millions of NP/"insert item name here" within a few hours OR anything that is a cheat program claiming to do something similar, but requires your login for X amount of hours is definitely a password stealer.

    Our programs are not affiliated with any other domain name aside from clraik.com itself.



    Anyone can test the safety of our programs simply by downloading Wireshark (a very popular and handy packet sniffing tool used to analyze your network!)

    Yes, anyone can do this. Just follow these steps:

    1) (you need an account to see links). Make sure you pick the right version for your operating system.

    2) Open up Wireshark and the program you are going to be using.

    3) After Wireshark loads, on the main screen click at the very top Capture -> Interfaces... (faster way is to press CTRL + I)



    4) If you don't know your active network adapter, just wait until you see packets adding up. That is the one that you want to sniff. Check it and click Start.



    5) That's it! Now you can set the filter to "http" and see what is being sent across your network. You will want to click on the "GET" and "POST" entries under the Info tab. After you click on an entry, expand the "Hypertext Transfer Protocol" section and you will see the full request.



    Now the best way to scan a program is to have Wireshark scanning the entire time a program is running. The only time you should stop sniffing is after you close the program. Most of the time, password stealers will show your username and password in this section being sent to a private site that will collect this type of information. Careful though! Some programs will try to act a little smarter and encrypt your information. If you see a shady website or a site sending information like 23jk2l34h523joh35kj then chances are you're still being phished upon.

    Just a heads up to all members of the forum.

    They're getting a little desperate when it comes to discouraging cheating forums.

    GM scripts are open source ;P you can check the coding of those very easily and verify for yourself whether or not it's safe.

    Yes, your web browser will be logged as well. Of course, Trinket has already said that these scripts are open source, so you can see the actual code to see if there are any phishy websites. Doesn't hurt to use Wireshark at the same time, though! Better safe than sorry.

    Also if you ever come across a GM script that is one or two lines of random gibberish, it is most likely obfuscated (google the meaning, means to encrypt/conceal) and can easily be reversed if you just copy + paste into a site like this: (you need an account to see links)
