Wormholes

In regards to the security argument some people do not want to lose control of the data they are contributing / using and they are willing to host their own instance to have that complete administrative control over the data and hosting environment. They may love the features and functionality but do not want to lose control of the data so they will not adopt Tripwire.

Most of the focus describing security has also been around the high bit strength SSL/TLS encryption provided. While encryption for data in transit is important to some, it is not what I would call the most important security concern. The likelihood of someone who would want the data and could intercept it even as plain text in transit is extremely low. The security of the code itself is a much more important concern and it doesn't matter if the communication channel between the client and the server is encrypted or not. The application could be vulnerable to code / SQL injection, cross-site scripting, authentication and session management problems, dependent application misconfigurations, missing security patches on the OS, etc. As close source, it doesn't have the advantage of community peer review so folks can verify for themselves that software vulnerabilities like the examples above are not present or easily exploitable.

As far as the single instance/server being easier to fortify and protect that is true, but it also increases the scope of what could potentially be compromised should their be an exploitable vulnerability.

I think the application offered as a hosted service is great and very convenient for most users. Considering it is video game space data we're talking about, I wouldn't want to host my own instance of it or do an application security code review of your code. Others out their may take this game much more serious than me and care about putting all their intel into something they can't directly control.

It is a great tool. Thank you for creating it and offering it to the community as a hosted service for free.

One thing i am missing (unless i am stupid and didn't find it) is the auto-creation of WH systems that i jump into.

I know the tool allows to import scan results, and mark the next WH from there, but there are many times when i am just scanning for the next WH and jump into it without importing the scan signatures. I've seen other tools automatically map such WH systems for you.

Another pet peeve is that despite me using the IGB, it always starts with Rens shown, even though "current system" at the top lists my current WH

Defaulting to Rens? You might not have set your home system in Preferences.

Tripwire patch released... This patch includes the new feature "Auto-Mapper".

Changes:

• Applied locale formatting to Note date/time
• Fixed null value bug with WH effect icon
• Auto-Mapper feature added
• Fixed issue where removing leads to system causes it to become EOL and removed

The auto-mapper toggle is located in the Signatures section across from the "Add Signature" link. Simply click to toggle (orange = active). Either use with IGB or have IGB open while using OOG (data link enabled) - ONLY ENABLE ONE!

As you jump from system to system w/ Auto-mapper toggled on (orange) it will add/edit sigs as needed to build a chain.

Logic used:

1. If systems are already known to be connected via gate - Ignores
2. If there is already a wormhole connecting these systems - Ignores
3. First, it checks if their is a wormhole type that matches new system (B274 or "High-Sec" for HS) - Updates
4. Second, it checks if there are any wormholes without a connection - Updates
5. Finally it will just add a new sig with an ID of "???" and type of "???"

If at any time one of these results in multiple possibilities then a dialog will ask which signature ID you want to update.

I recommend pasting all system signatures and keep pasting them to update signatures as wormholes (Auto-mapper won't work on non-wormhole sigs).

*** NOTE: This feature will need some tweaking (namely when adding sigs one direction and auto-mapping backwords) Also getting podded out of w-space will result in a connection... next patch will limit auto-mapping to require being in a ship.

I apologize to those who have requested access to Tripwire since Rubicon 1.3 patch began earlier today. I am currently being afflicted like many others with this datacenter issue causing ~100kb/s download speeds. I will get you access as soon as I am able to launch EVE.

No. Everyone's data is private to their mask.

I agree, it would be an epic feature to allow trusts between corps to share maps.... at least it would be epic for the larger alliances...

It is currently possible to share your chain with another corp or alliance. However I must set this up for you until I finish the admin parts.

not to you but to the person who made the program i guess it will...

Wh corps are complaining they can't find anyone. Yeah of course this would make meta gaming much easier and something could be done to tone it down maybe but think of how many more fights you would get
