Encryption
Because many players play from shared labs/etc, we have seen hack
attempts, some unfortunately successful. Thus, we have added
encryption support for connections to the MUD.
We have two different modes of encryption available.
1) SSL support:
* Several clients have it built-in. Just check the "SSL" box if it's
there and connect to port 443.
* For windows users you can either use the 'stunnel' application or
download our tool at http://t2tmud.org/tools/T2Ttunnel.exe and
install it. You can then connect to "localhost" port 9999
and play the way you used to.
* If you have problems with the installer (for example, on Win98),
there's http://t2tmud.org/tools/T2Ttunnel.zip -- unpack it somewhere
and run by hand.
* For us Unix folks, apt/yum/pkg-get/whatever the package "stunnel",
run "stunnel -c -d localhost:9999 -r t2tmud.org:443".
For added security you will want to load the SSL certificate
of t2tmud.org into your client. See 'help ssl_certificate' for
the actual certificate.
2) SSH support:
ssh towers@t2tmud.org
Too bad, there's very few ssh programs for Windows. Pretty much the
only popular one is Putty -- and it's difficult to tie to your usual
MUD client.
