New Internet Guideline Enacted
21:33 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
As of January 8, 2004 at 12:00 AM, the Internet Officer has enacted a new Internet Guideline rule regarding user databases in EH sites:

"Any website with a user database that contains passwords MUST encrypt the passwords. This may be a one-way hash (highly preferable), or an encryption using a key. The Internet Officer reserves the right to request a database dump (or any other verification method) to verify compliance. Anyone who refuses to comply after being warned may be brought to the Security Officer on charges. "

This rule has been enacted due to a rising concern of password security within the Emperor's Hammer at large. Please note that EVERY EH-related site is bound by the rules set forth in the Internet Guidelines (http://www.ehnet.org/guidelines.php). Users of SquadFirst+ need not worry, since the one-way hash is handled within the code.

The Internet Officer herein sets a period of 2 weeks in order to comply with the new guideline. As of January 22, 2004 at 12:00 AM all websites containing user databases will be presumed to be compliant and the Internet Office staff reserves the right to request a database dump, as well as any other methods deemed necessary to verify compliance. A lack of compliance will result in a warning being issued with one additional week to comply.

Combat Operations Website and Manual
15:19 - VA Khameir Sarin [khameir_sarin@yahoo.com]
The COO Staff is proud to announce the release of the new COO Website and Manual at http://combat.tiecorps.net. The current manual contains, Multiplayer Rules, Multiplayer FAQs, Multiplayer Tactics, EH Multiplayer Heroes, CR and Medal Guidelines, Userguides for System Requirements/#EHCOC/Zone-Battlestats, and a Polling Center featuring the IO's Extensible Polling System. This website should contain everything a multiplayer gamer would need. If you have a suggestion/addition for the website please contact the COO via email or on the EH COO Message Board.

eXtensible Polling System
14:11 - HA Ari [ari@tiecorps.org]
This week I would like to officially announce the release of the much-anticipated IO project I've been coding the past few weeks. Ladies and gentlemen, EHNet's eXtensible Polling System (XPS) is now completed and available to the general public. XPS primarily serves as a means of "data collection" with lots of nifty features! The main page at http://www.ehnet.org/xps/ has some helpful information. We also HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you read the XPS Help Manual since it's full of helpful information and is sure to answer 95% of any questions you can think of.

Keep in mind - XPS isn't just for polls (that's why it's eXtensible!) - we encourage you to come up with your own uses for it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

IWATS Courses
03:01 - AD Keldorn Cochrane [gmf@kweeky.net]
The Training Office is once again accepting new Course proposals. Ideas, comments and questions should be sent to myself at keldorn@btopenworld.com.

The Office is particularly interested in 'fictional' courses, akin to Galactic History, Physics, Imperial Politics, Starfighter Technical Studies and so on. As always, each sucessfully launched Course earns the author a Silver Star (or equivelent)!
**********************************************

Mr. Harkov and Mr. Fortis, the request for your AWOL is out. I cannot tolerate inactivity this far without good reason to notification.
To all of you : A happy new year 2004 (it is fresh anyways ;) )

yours,

LC Carl Lost
