oasiz Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Hello, The "passport" is just a unique (likely random) string applied to each member account, and is application/server independent, there's no protocol as such. For example on Oasiz a passport is generated during the very first account connection to the chat server and is made up of an md5 hash of different account fields (ID, account creation date, email address etc) to ensure uniqueness, cut down to 16 digits and capitalised. Example: 4027E1445E6E24A0 After a successful server authentication this is used as the ident within the hostmask. <nick>!4027E1445E6E24A0@<host> Hope this helps! Edit: I cannot stand this new WYSIWYG editor, it's horrible software. Edited May 12, 2012 by oasiz Pablo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
err0r Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 on some networks the passport is just the users id number in md5 format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOhnson Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 thanks for both your replies im beginning to understand now what it means ... might have to look up what that md5 format to get a better idea as always thank you for your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 yes, look up MD5 to get a better understanding of one way encrypted hashes. mIRC has a $MD5 function, try it out.. //echo -a $md5(hahah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravi Gunaratne Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 it isnt a real passport on those servers you speak of...it isnt real Authentication its bullshit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Ravi. Rather than just troll over an old post, please do explain your reasons or knowledge behind your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) it isnt a real passport on those servers you speak of...it isnt real Authentication its bullshit.. Gatekeeper passports are used for authentication purposes. If your gatekeeper passport does not match the stored gatekeeper passport for your nickname, guess what.. you don't authenticate and you don't get your nickname on most servers.

Travis Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think what Ravi was trying to say is that gatekeeper's aren't derived from any set protocol. Whoever designs the registration process for a network decides how to create the Ident. It could be completely random and based off of nothing having to do with the user, or it could be based off of their IP, time of registration, etc. I believe some networks don't even keep a static Ident. Really what they save is your login id and password then may retrieve your stored Ident or assign you a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
