Banned Scripts
Unfortunately, many good
things are turned on us to be used for nefarious
activities. Commonly used scripts are frequently
exploited to allow unauthorized access to the systems
they are running on. Others just require more resources
than is allocated on a shared server environment.
Consequently, in order to
keep Jetfueled network and servers safe, we may
need to take actions that inconvenience our good
customers. Any time we find scripts or other commonly
used tools that can become easily compromised or impact
other users by using too many server resources, we may
need to disable scripts or other tools installed and
used by our customers.
Whenever possible, we
will notify our customers in advance. We will also
attempt to keep this page updated with current scripts
which will require removal from our shared servers
and/or our network.
This list includes
script/program names, reason for ban, who/what servers
they are banned on (e.g. our Shared or Network wide) and
provide alternative options for our customers whenever
possible.
