    My1 reacted to Twisted in Update Progress   
    The prototype version in the OP got more or less scrapped and rewritten with the release of REM4P, current version is working well. All decoders are in and working, multiple accounts, remote connecting/wakeup without having to port forward UDP 986 on client side and probably most importantly the input system from REM4P is in. 
    Besides bug fixing few features left - Auto configure PS4 port forwarding on local network, cloud storage for accessing accounts remotely.

    My1 got a reaction from Twisted in Regarding the new version...

    I think it's a good time to talk about it and account security.
    I dont know too much yet myself but as we all saw, you wont be around using product keys anymore but rather you use your forum account login to activate the software.
    since probably some users want to do sharing and stuff again let's get to the security part:
    the good thing is obviously that when you accidentially leak your data you can just change your password and that's it for the product key this wasnt possible which can lead to annoying scenarios in case of an accident.
    this also means that when you directly share your activation is that your friend doesnt have any product key he could misuse in anyway
    of course this makes remote sharing (giving someone just the details to activate) quite a lot harder since it requires more trust because that user could take over your account.
    so Let's start with some advice here (by the way I will make rule changes regarding that soon enough so be prepared): 
    While these are mostly advice, you will hold responsible if you intentionally break it and something bad happens
    Use a not-so-weak password. There are quite a bunch of ways to make a strong password. of course there's the average ransom password generator but it wont help but unless you store your passwords somewhere I doubt you remember it, there's also the so-called wordlist or Diceware or XKCD-Style approach which uses a few RANDOMLY chosen words to make the password memorable and secure at the same time. because even under the assumption the attacker knows how you chose your password (for example "one word and a number at the end") a wordlist based approach is a lot more secure because assuming we have a wordlist of 7776 words (the length of a diceware list) and use 4 words you have over 3656 trillion possible passwords (you can use more words to make it even better) also if the attacker doesnt know that you used wordlist and just bruteforces it he would have to try even more (but security is usually measured by the worst possible outcome)
    for diceware you can either use this tool https://www.rempe.us/diceware/#eff choose a wordlist and generate the passwords, or if you want the most secure approach, you can get the list of your choice here https://github.com/grempe/diceware/tree/master/js/lists and roll the dice (6 per word) yourself and patch your password together. Don't share your password It seems obvious but you cant be sure enough. but well just for good measure.
    If you REALLY want to share your product activation, do it in real life and type in the password by yourself.
    It's generally not advised to share your Product key online and it's the same with the account key except that they can do more damage with your account because they could take away your account and other bad stuff. Try to avoid phishing Of course it's hard to avoid phishing so at least please TRY to. when you are logging into the forum make sure you are on https://tmacdev.com/forum and that you get a lock to show that the page is encrypted and that you download the software only from here. (Nerd tip: if you really make sure the software cane from the right place check that the URL the file actually comes from starts with https://s3.amazonaws.com/tmacdevforumdownloads/ ) If you found a suspicious site asking for your details from here, please report it by writing a message to me or @Twisted Well that's it for now, read you guys Later
    Best Regards and have a nice Christmas

    My1 got a reaction from Twisted in new anti-spam Rules and Sorry for "announcement spam"   
    So let's start this.
    I actually dont like the fact that my first announcement has to be an apology, but so be it.
    for starters I apologize for the fact that the announcement box is almost LITERALLY EVERYWHERE.
    in fact way too many people dont see the box (and some even ask for refund) because of the fact that RPPC doesnt work with the 3.5 Version of the PS4 yet.
    I finally found an option for a custom formatted text to put somewhere, which is on the top of the chatbox, but dont worry I wont throw that everywhere, it's just too big.
    well let's cut the apology and get to the main point.
    I already announced it in the chat and I announce it now again here formally:
    Asking whether this supports 3.5 or saying that it doesnt work or asking for an ETA will result in removal of said messages, posts, topics etc. and a warning plus 24h site-wide ban
    that includes questions like:
    "does this dwork with 3.5?" "3.5 doesnt work" "any ETA on 3.5" "when will we have compatibility with 3.5" just for the record:
    This will ALSO APPLY for FUTURE FIRMWARE VERSIONS
    especially if twisted says that it's a bigger update of the Remote Play protocol.
    Sorry that I have to be so hard, but honestly the idiocy of WAY TOO MANY prople is getting annoying.
    I intentionally leave this open, so that you can post your opinnions to this.
     
    by the way. this is the first explicitly stated rule on which I will try to be as strict as possible.
    There are other more implicit rules which account to a more "basic" among forum rules and are usually found everywhere (like dont attack others, dont create a new thread about a new topic etc, where I have been a it soft and honestly, even lazy about enforcing those) but this rule will be rather important, and I will try to create a real "rules" thread in the future.
     
    Best Regards,
