I was curious if anyone is aware of how secure the MTGO game is. Is there any know links of people attaching virii to cards or the ease of taking over someones account. I just want to know of what I should be aware of. with the way trades pop up, I want to be sure they can't pop something in and take over my account or something...
Juridian aka J[] works for the company that makes MTGO. Ask him. He is normally around on IRC.
What type of programming language does MTG use? I would assume it would have any other vulnerabilites as any other web based application? Does it use active x? sockets? hmm been awhile, you may want to email mtgo for more info.
in regards to the assignment madeIf I find I the security vulnerabilities, I can impliment the countermeasures if any such as you would you operating system. I think that makes sense, but thanx again for your ignorance.Quote:
Yea, i think your a little too security concious. its just a game. geeze. this site is for real security and where its really needed
An online game IS SERIOUS SECURITY. It can also be a BIG SECURITY RISK! Whoever made that assignment is extreamly ignorant and should be a little more concious when making anti-point assignments. We discuss ALL FORMS of security here, if you disagree, please post it, so we can all see who you are.
Google is your best friend (or new girlfriend for some of us..)!
Use it, and ye shall find what thy needeth moon after moon.
Anyways, google found an informative article at wizard's site.
No, people cannot attach virii to cards. Cards are not files passed back and forth or edited in any way. And as usual for any username/password protected system....it's main security risk is users giving out their information.
i agree with juridian, the only risk is the giving out of infomation
yes funkymunky i agree with him too, dont give out info and you will be fine
You guys completely ruled out the crazy admin that got fired and now is infecting cards with viruses..
Other than that and info giving out.. your fine? Unless when you made a connection playing with you and then somehow he got your ip address, and then launched an attack that way....
I personally like the idea of how that have this whole gaming network set up, but I just have a feeling sooner or later they will have a security breach. It just sounds to good to be true...
Update: I have been using the service now for a while and other than servers going down. I have not experienced any problems. If anyone has any MTGO news PM me. I would love to hear about it. Thanx.
*taps 6 swamps and unleashes the Nightmare*
muhahahahahaha youll have problems now :)
I started playing this when the first edition of revised (before 4th edition came out) was new. I taught my Mom and me and all my friends would come over like every week end and have tournaments, it was the equivilant of a LAN party just with Magic cards instead. ahhh the good ol days before we had jobs and other bullshit.

I'm not sure if anyone here plays Magic Online, but I was once into the game and felt even with the phase in and out of new cards it still really becomes repeatitive and you have the same individuals that like to either bail on a game or walk away in the middle of a match. Well the point of this posting is that I am tired of the game and I don't have any interest in playing much longer. So if you are a currently a player and are interested in my whole collection it is on ebay or if you are a new player you can start out with an active account and a very large collection. My collection exists of 51 rares, 216 uncommons, 46 foils, 1960 commons. I have the complete 4 of each common sets for The Seventh Edition, Planeshift Edition, Torment Edition, and Onslaught Edition. I also have the Phage Avatar and a couple of event tickets.
Look up ebay seller: BlitzbrghSteelers or auction: MTGO - Magic The Gathering Online Collection
Besides for my last post, I am still playing and even have more cards than back then. I was just curious in regards to Win Emulators which software would best run the MTGO game on a Red Hat 9 system?
