Chibac chat
 

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.

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?


brent

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.

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):
