I find it intersting that someone who is so involved in youths and the church gets a kick out of someone who claims another persons mother should have used a hanger to abort them. |

That's a nice laundry list of random security terms, but I'm even more skeptical now. The above screams of the same random hot air that a Best Buy employee blow at me when trying to convince me I need $140 HDMI cables. I have a list of cookies from operation sports in my browser, and every one of them lists a numeric user id, not a name. I don't see Fidatelo anywhere. So if SkyDork changes my name to Fellatio, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the site had no reason to log me out or even recognize the change. Could it? Sure. But I don't think it does, and I don't see how you could so strongly word your original assertions ("There is not a way your screen login name can change, and you aren't automatically logged out of the system if you try to post.").

Well, that explains things at least. I usually find HA mostly harmless, sometimes amusing, but that comment to Schmidty was truly crappy. I know he's posted other stuff that's just as bad and I know if I did the same I'd be banned. HA is part of FOFC lore though and I can see why he's not banned. HA's stuff though is just a sideshow, to me anyway, of FOFC. The best parts of this board include EF27 offering good, solid advice when people need it. Or when EF27 is looking at a job opportunity and someone comes through with solid information about why he shouldn't take it. When people here ask for thoughts and prayers for something difficult going on in their lives, they get them. We have lawyers here that help people out and generally, you'll find solid advice on just about everything...from relationships to computers. So I think this is a good forum with solid moderation. It's generally amusing and sometimes poignant. I remember some thread from awhile ago where several members discussed having lost their children. Shit like that matters...this is really just noise.

This really needs to be made into the movie. A very creative artist discovers The One True Dark Jedi and sends secret suggestions on punishing the actor. Actor loses his stage name and receives letter in his mailbox telling him he will be using his real name. The actor revolts and holds a piece of cardboard over his head that reads "Hell Atlantic" (see Norma Rae).
The Dark Council is reported to have fudged some decency laws. Ksyrup publicly denies any involvement with the identity switch. There are rumblings that a posse is forming, but the founding members are quickly and silently dispatched by a silent assassin who goes by the codename of sachmo71. Random images pop up of violated hoagies, Buccaneer and JonInMiddleGA screaming for people to get off their lawn, Eaglesfan27 dropkicking TCY Junkie, Subby in neon spandex with a corsair and 3 shurikens, cartman riding a mutant javelina, and MikeVic trapped on the toilet as Kodos planetary takeover is taking place.

Can we at least hope that all of the folks who are so upset at the HA schtick and frequently request the banning have the guy on ignore? I'm amazed at how many people complain about him always being the same yet still reading every post.

Hate leads to fear. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to name changes. Name changes lead to Pumpy wearing nothing but socks.

Obviously for security reasons, a cookie isn't going to have your plaintext username and password in it. The number or alphanumeric string you see inside is usually a CRC or hash check that the server uses to figure out your username and/or password on the server side. Since by the way you asked the question, I didn't get into the nitty gritty details of various security methods and implementations, and left it at a very general level. If you specifically would like to know more about cookies, here is a pretty good introductory FAQ on what they are, how they work, and what the data inside them means: http://www.cookiecentral.com/faq/

Here's my uneducated guess, let's watch this play out and see if the cookie master is correct or if my retarded self has the right of it: I have a cookie, called "User Id". It has a value, 2436, that is the primary key (or *possibly* a hash of one) in some kind of User table. That table has a field called "username", likely also a unique key. Both are indexed, and you can look up one with the other. My cookie doesn't expire until June 2009, so if my username changes, it doesn't matter, because the cookie looks up my username based on my id value and then logs me in with the encrypted password that is in my other cookie (called "password").

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I honestly am stumped by what you are trying to get at. Are you saying I was spewing BS? If so, that's fine, I just want to get back on board the conversation train as I seem to have fallen off a while back (I will admit to being obtuse at times, you need to hit me over the head and insult my mom's vagina or something).

That is the way most login systems operate. There is a unique primary key, usually for simplicity sake it is an auto incrementing row number starting at 1 and counting up. So for example: Code:
When you ask vbulletin to write a login cookie for you, and you are logged in as 'joe', it will look up your id (1), and create a hash of the username and a MD5 salt of the password, and these abstracted values are written to your cookie. So the next time you connect, the cookie contains the id (1), plus the hash of the username and the salted password. The system looks up this info, and if it matches, you are logged in. But if the info changed: Code:
the next time the cookie is used, the id and password match, but the hash in the cookie would work out to 'joe', and the line in the table says it should be 'mary'.

But I do see now where he could have deduced the new name before receiving the PM. Since anyone could read the posts, there can't be that many users from Astoria, NY that are the president of the Dean Houston Fan Club.

The example you describe seems like it could certainly be a valid security implementation. But you seem to be assuming that there is no way it could not be the case. Yet evidence throughout the thread points to you being wrong. I find it very surprising that someone that seems to actually have at least a small clue about this stuff would make such brash statements. It has been my experience that assuming something CAN NOT be done is a bad assumption to make, especially when you don't have the keys to the specific system at hand.

I'm just curious how you are writing off the following items: 1) MJ4H has repeatedly stated he did not have to re-login after his name changed; and 2) The cookies for OS are not structured in the manner you are indicating (there is a separate cookie for the username and password, and neither of them contain a hash value of any kind).
