  1. Review - WallFly

    0.127 Beta (Mar 20, 2005)

    With regards to WallFly's anti-hacking methods:

    1. We fully expect hacking will happen and but that around 95% of the time it will fail. Of those kids that succeed, we estimate we will detect it and alert the parents around 9 out of 10 times. So, very few kids will slip by without the parents getting an alert. There are easier ways to circumvent the program - guessing the parent's password.

    2. The version being beta tested has some of the anti-hacking features turned off for debugging. This beta release is aimed at enlarging our game database, as documented in the readme. However, if a user want to email us feedback as to hacking, that is fine too.

    3. The primary anti-hacking notification is generally sent days or weeks after the hack occurs. To test this, disable your WallFly application and wait up to a few weeks. The purpose of this alert is to let the parents know there is a bigger problem then just "setting limits". The delay in notification will reduce the number of false alarms.

    Hope this helps,
