Charnames in Logfiles

Hey guys,
There is a little problem in some plugins/profiles i think. Maybe all developer should look into their code.
I am a worg druid and some minutes ago i had an error, so i looked into logfile.
And there i found a row where the name of my char is written, where it casts Mark of wild
Like "Mark of Wild on ****"

I think its too dangerous to let write the charnames into logfiles.

Maybe other classes have similar lines of logs where there name is in.

Pls look into logfile, and erase your names before you upload them

 

Which Routine?

 

checked my druid running with questing and singular. there is no charname in the logfile.

 

I've also seen this before, and it is a problem.

In my Plugins/Routines I am (since aware) always using something like

Logging.Write("[Targetting: {0}.{1}]", unit.Class, unit.Guid.ToString().Substring(8,4));​

which includes some info, but never enough to clearly identify anyone.

regards,
straw

 

Omg, i think it was HazzDruid. Or PR2, but i think it was while using HazzDruid.

 

Hi, Dominic.e,

Indeed, BosslandGmbH considers leaked toon names or realms to be a bug. If you look at Singular, it uses the word "Self" or "Pet" for your toon name and pet respectively. For friendly players, Singular identifies by role/spec: "lead", "tank", "healer", "dps". For enemies, it merely uses "Enemy" to represent another player. Similar techniques are used for the BosslandGmbH-provided quest behaviors.

Alas, there are a number of third-party offerings available in the forums. And leaking such information is most likely an oversight in the offering.

Please try to isolate the source of the leak, and report the issue to the appropriate thread.

cheers,

Okay, thanks for this information will look into log and will look from which CR/Plugin it comes

 

I looked into my LOGs, and it?s from HazzDruid 4.3.1

The xxxxxx ist the name of my char.


Not so good

 

Thanks mate its not really good, youre right

 

go ahead and report it in hazz' thread

 

PureRotation Team will take this as a suggestion and we will change related code to something similar like Role + Class and/or maybe GUID
normally we need it only for debugging to make sure that healing is working ... and not only for self healing but yes of course we can do some changes here and there to remove the toon names and still have all necessary informations for us


---- edit -----
we checked the code in pure
Result: small bug in log output fixed where a players name could be logged (this case shouldn't ever kick in since it was part of EncounterSpecific stuff, but ... to be sure, we replaced it now with SafeName)

So with PureRotation there shouldn't be any Player Names in the log, we already used the methods to log only Class (instead of roles or something else)

 

Honorbuddy itself and Singular don't log character names anymore, it did at one point. I'd just ctrl+F <character name> before posting a log.

 

@Stormchasing, thank you and you're 'Team' for looking into your code

Yep, it's always better to look into logs, before upload them. There are many Freeware editors, which have a replace function, so you can press ctrl+F, and then you can set a string, which should be replaced and you can set a string, to what it should be replaced, so you can write
Search for: xyCharNameyx
Replace with: xxxxxx

I recommend you Notepad++ its a powerful editor and much better than Notepad from Windows ^^

 

The notepad that ships with Windows has this functionality aswell.

In most editors, the shortcut key is Ctrl + H

 

Ok thanks, didnt know it before ^^ I dont use Notepad
