MASTER PASSWORD Optix Pro v1.0 -> 1.2 Unfortunately, someone on another site has published the masterpassword for optix pro covering versions from v1.0 to v1.2. This means i am now forced to publish this here and make sure everyone knows that these versions are officially insecure! The master password is: kjui3498fjk34289890fwe334gfew4ger$"sdf My explanation is as follows: I can definately comfirm a person has successfully released the master pass for versions 1.2 and less. However, this is NOT new....LOM actually was the first to find it....he warned me right after v1.2 of the risk and i quickly improved the security EXPONENTIALLY for v1.3x. Add to this the fact that i receive no "behind-the-scene" notification from the 1.x servers AT ALL. If you guys changed the default port then there is no way people would know to connect. The older versions simply stored an encrypted masterpass and then decrypted in memory. So its quite easy for some debugger to pick it up actually. However, the new versions (especially v1.32) have a COMBINATION of md5 AND blowfish (never been cracked) AND the master pass is never EVER decrypted in the memory I have never talked about master passwords before because i thought it best not to do so until one was ever found. I have never directly denied the existance of a master pass. However, now i feel the time is right to confirm there is for your security. My reasons for having a master password are basically 100% security for me. I have never used the master pass in v1.3x ever. I only put it there as a measure for me. Lets say FBI are getting "close" to me because OP became "too" popular (which i have no way of controlling normally). Thats when a master pass could potentially save a programmer because by releasing a master password. It makes people stop using the product to a certain extent ie reduces popularity and reduces the heat from the FBI for example. Its a way for me to control the "popularity" of OP. I feel I need to do it. However i would probably remove the feature if anymore passwords are recovered. Final thing is to once again say that the latest versions of Optix Pro are always safe (ie v1.32) from this kind of thing. So make sure you update!!! v1.2 and below are no longer supported by me and i have removed them from the website. s13az3
