This program is safe. I have personally went through each source file and checked the source for malicious code. There is none. If you don't feel you trust this program, there's no hard feelings; just don't use it. However, if you like the features it has to provide, then that's great too.

Thanks Dave <3

While I appreciate your hard work and must admit this looks pretty great, I'd like to know if you include source code and if it has been checked by someone independant, like Stealtheye from BI. The reason I ask this is because I'd like to be sure this is a safe tool wrt my personal serial number and login passwords.

Sorry, I do not want to include the source yet.
That is a good suggestion. I will see if jnz, Dave, or Dante will check it. (Since I don't know stealtheye)
Also there are ways of you checking it without the need for me to have it checked.

To do this, I'd at least need to input a serial and login/pass for testing purposes and then sniff out traffic.

It looks pretty cool, I like it. I think bots used to be banned from XWIS, and Olaf didn't want anything but actual renegade clients connecting. However, if all this is used for is chatting, then there's nothing malicious about it...
Nice one, and well done! 
|
Well, I doubt that. Seye and me have seen plenty of bots roaming about XWIS...
|
That is still the case. The rule was intended to keep malicious and harvesting bots off I would think. But, sadly, strike-team is completly incompatent so the rules are not enforced.

Gozy r0x. 
Anyways, back to business. This program is safe. I have personally went through each source file and checked the source for malicious code. There is none. If you don't feel you trust this program, there's no hard feelings; just don't use it. However, if you like the features it has to provide, then that's great too. I definately have some suggestions for halo2pac to increase security and privacy in this application, so that is something I will try to work with him on when I get the chance.

BHS enforces XWIS no-bots policy. Funny thing is, people who have posted in this thread should have known that considering they have had me enforce this rule in the past.

I'm not involved with Renegade in -any shape or form-, so wasn't aware of such policies or how Xwis and BHS handle such things.

The problem with these types of programs is that each release needs to be checked to ensure that no malicious code comes into play in the future, and it's almost nearly impossible to keep track of different builds and revisions. I do honestly think that halo2pac is more interested in just making a program to benefit Renegade players, but it comes down to your own judgment and trust in him and his work.
In situations like this, you could potentially create a third party of designated trusted member(s) who people would submit such programs to for checking of malicious code, and if it passes then have it published to an official site. As like Renguard, any downloads from places other than the official site would be marked "untrusted".

. Now if only Seye would have a look too, then I'd use it (yes, I'm quite paranoiac on the net...).
