Right now I have to protect the security of my Company's network which was becoming at risk by these intrusions.
Possibly at some point in the future we can test out a Passworded Guest account (which is already in effect for nonmembers actively involved in current projects), but both these passwords & IP addresses of the server will be changing frequently over the next few weeks/months. Notifying all Guests of these changes would become quite a hassle & i'm still concerned about people handing off the guest password as well as the risk of "brothers & friends" of people with access getting in with their account & wreaking havoc (which has been done also).
So there is no easy solution... in so many words.
: Some hackers got into CGHL with bots who had hacked god
: mode status, and were booting members, etc. Also, they
: had creation member's IP addies falsely, so clem can't
: IP-ban them. His only option was to put a password on
: the guest account so they could go private and protect
: themselves from invaders.
