PissClaimer:
If someone still crashes your BBS after you have done
everything in the Text File, than TOO BAD!!! I've done my best!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
=========================================================================
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
-:[ HOW TO MAKE YOUR BBS CRASH-PROOF ]:-
1) Read your TeleGard Docs, so you know what I'm talking about.
Done? Good. Let's begin. First off, delete your Archive Menu. A
three-year old can crash your BBS with it. If you don't want to
delete it, just make available to "s255u1b0" which is the sysop, user
one, at Baud 0. (At the computer).
2) Go to your Archive Setup, and change "PKZIP -aex @F @I" to
"Drive:\Path\To\It\PKZIP -aex @F @I" and then change the other lines
there too. Now no one can upload a Batch file called PKUNZIP.BAT
and format your Hard Drive.
3) In the File Configuration Menu, and change the "Dos Re-Direction
Device" to 'CON' so no one can "ext command" from your MiniDos.
4) Add a command to the beginning of your FIRST menu that has no
Descriptions, and the key-to-be-pressed is "FIRSTCMD" and make it
access "!u1s255" and add anyother people you TOTALLY trust to the
'!u???' part. The CMD letters should be "HI" and the Info should
be "Nice Try Fucker" or something to that effect. This command will
hangup on ANYONE that logs onto your BBS and has 255 access that
isn't approved in your "!uWHATEVER."
5) Make sure you System Configuration Menu is only accessable from
the sysop menu by "u1s255b0" so no one can mess with anything.
6) If you're like me, and you only have one Full CoSysop, just
change passwords every week or so.
7) Install a zip-tester that checks for Viruses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Optional: (for the truely paranoid)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Add another password to the Sysop menu. (under 'password')
2) Lock Everyone but "s255u1b0" out of everything in the sysop menu.
3) Make most of the high-access ranges in the System Access Config read
"s255u1b0." With this, people can't even do anything in Mini-DOS.
4) Add a command after that first one I told you to add that
works for "s255u1!b0" that will ask for ANOTHER password.
====================================================================
Next Step: Making sure crashers don't mess with TeleGard's Mind.
While you're LOCAL (NOT REMOTE!!!) add the following as offline
files to your sysop directory:
NUL. COM1. COM2. COM3. COM4. LPT1. LPT2. LPT3. LPT4. AUX.
CLOCK$. CON.
Then, (if you Run Dos 5.0) run 'Mem /d', and read everything under
I/O and add those as offline entries too.
Like so:
000700 IO 000AC0 System Data
//** got it> CON System Device Driver
//** got it> AUX System Device Driver
//** got it> PRN System Device Driver
//** got it> CLOCK$ System Device Driver
//** add these> A: - D: <**// System Device Driver
//** got it> COM1 System Device Driver
//** got it> LPT1 System Device Driver
//** got it> LPT2 System Device Driver
//** got it> LPT3 System Device Driver
//** got it> COM2 System Device Driver
//** got it> COM3 System Device Driver
//** got it> COM4 System Device Driver

000100 FCBS=

000270 LASTDRIVE=
0053D0 MSDOS 000040 System Program
Now, you're pretty much done.
Happy safety.
