Here are some WSH functions I put in LE objects.


Drives: shows the drives of your PC.

Memory_Info: How much and what size your memory has.

Execute: Calls a program or loads a file into its standard application

File_System_Info: You give the letter the object gives the parameters of the drive.

IP_MAC_Gateway: shows your current IP-address MAC Gateway und Subnet addresses.

Video Adapter: the parameters of your Video Adapter.

Seems kind of scary to me. If scripts can do things like that, then they can erase our hard drives too. There needs to be someway to disable scripts when we visit shared space, or at least disable commands that could write to hard drives. Maybe the next version of truespace and trueplay need this added as soon as possible?

I would suggest something like a certificate.

Maybe something like encrypted :


* TS serial number/Username

* MAC adress

* unique key number of the object


Every created object should get these numbers

encrypted by Ts, programmed by the caligari developers.

And if objects are uploaded to shared space

they should pass through a certification process.


It is also possible to scan the objects for

file access scripts or dll call to classify their

riskiness.

Maybe just a warning message, and an option to continue at users risk would be best. That way anyone can still access these functions. Gives the greatest freedom, but helps protect from accidents.
