Creating Authentication Systems

[QwertyMonster]

Lol, well an easy Authentication that can be hijacked easy seems to be working good. To me it looked good, until now you told me!

Most Auths can be bypassed by jumping where it comes out incorrect to where it comes out correct by editing a few bytes. But like stated earlier it depends who are the people who use your Bots and if they know how to bypass your Authentication, unless you plan on distributing your product to the masses and have alot of smart enemies I dont think you need to have a super secure Authentication

[Mephisto]

Well, as I have learned, generally any authentication which does not use encryption can be easily bypassed (though there are certain things you can do to make it very tedius work for the hacker to bypass your authentication such as having 50 checks made in different ways and in different places; though the user could just figure out your authentication method and bypass all those, but you could make your authentication via a server instead of locally which cancels out that idea).

What you people might be missing is that everything needed to make a successful connection to the server is there in the executable. Whether it's just a simple data encryption handshake, or the code necessary to download an alternate program to be stored in memory, all it takes is time before someone will crack it.
