I had originally had this thread in the "finished projects section" but soon realized that there was alot more that could be done to "chibac", and decided to start a new thread. I will be posting updates here whenever I can (I know you are all looking forward to it

). So here is the latest version of chibac.

(Its perfectly ok if the moderators feel they want to delete the old thread)

Any chance of a short description of what it is?

EDIT: Oh sorry you said what it is in the other thread.

This is just a simple C++ chat application that I built. it uses WINAPI and WINSOCK. It can be used as both a client or a server. For now its only 2-way, but im planning on making it multi-threaded.

yea, lol

I have another update, nothing major really, I have added a few commands.

/kick <username> kicks <username> from chatroom
/shutdown <username> shuts down <username>'s computer...

/pm <username> <message> sends private <message> to <username>

as of right now, admin rights are not required to use these commands, but this will be changed in the next version.

Also, Does anyone know of a web hosting service that could host the server for this thing?

Don't you think that is a bit invasive.

so anybody can shutdown my computer, even if they are not the supervisor or administrator.

I will be adding admin right in the next version, and yes you are right, it is a bit invasive. This was written primarily for my friends, I thought it would be funny to just randomly shutdown one of my friends computers. I will either remove it or add admin rights. I guess I really didnt think it through before creating that command.

Anytime you mess with a client's computer unilaterally, even if it's just resizing a window, you are being invasive. Beyond that extent, you are declaring that you are God, a script-kiddie, or a real cracker/bastard. Bad idea. Strictly personal opinion, of course; your tire wear may vary.

Brent · Mar 15th, 2007, 8:08 PM

yea, I really didnt think of that. The best idea is probably just to get rid of it. thanks for the suggestions.

Over the Past few days, I got a little bored and decided to work on Chibac once more. Not much is different. I have refined the protocol a bit, and made the GUI look a little nicer. Here is the Download (contains a server and a client):
