Is intermud communication secure?
Not in the slightest. Here’s how it works: 1) Whoever is running the router has 100% access to every bit of communication that happens across that intermud network. All messages are plaintext, and although I personally can promise I don’t read “private” messages, there is no way for you to be sure I’m not lying. 2) All muds connected to an i3 router can hear anything that is said on public channels. 3) Any admin on any mud has 100% access to the i3 packet data that comes in and out, meaning they can listen to “private” tells between someone on that mud and someone on another mud. 4) Nobody on any client mud is able to “sniff” or “snoop” data from tells between other muds. If Alice@AlphaMud and Bob@BravoMud are having a heated “tell” discussion, Carol@CharlieMud can’t listen in, even if she’s an admin on her mud. However, Dave@DeltaMud is the admin on the i3 router mud, and he can “hear” everything. 5) Local channels (cre, admin, newbie, etc) do not get broadcast to the i3 router. There
