Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don't use a password there that you've used anywhere else.

Yes, which is why they're vulnerable to mitm and local sniffer attacks.

Have you found a mitm attack on TLS?

This guy's a fucking clown, I'm sure he's like 15

Not without compromised certificates they haven't. You can tell because if they did they'd be world famous for having destroyed any and all internet security. Then again, they'd probably already be famous for having figured out a way to salt, hash and store passwords without ever holding them in memory first like they claim to do above, so maybe someone is lying on the internet about their vague "proprietary network protocols".

Oh yeah, this guy is a hoot.

I haven't looked into it but I was wondering about the logistics of setting up a federated honeypot for server side stream sniffing to build a plaintext email/password database.

Man, you sound like you're just using random words you heard in class. Clearly you have no clue how user registration actually works, let alone backend development.

Well it's a good thing your opinion has no effect on reality.
