It's not a fake menu, it allows opening of the "God Tools" menu which supposedly allows you to do anything to any region, parcel, or object.
The app is real, how effective it is, is questionable.
It does enable the God menu.
It does allow access to at least the *menu* which allows "Set Owner To Me", etc, for parcels and objects.
Whether or not it really works is still under question.
If these functions are OK for everyone to have, why hasn't LL simply put them in Debug?
If they're not OK for everyone to have, then why is LL allowing it?
I understand that a lot of people at LL have open-source leanings. But my concern is that this is something that will lead to the "forced open sourcing" of our own creations.
Isn't that something that we should get to decide, not megalomaniacal hackers?
I find it interesting that the first fruits of the "noble" reverse engineering project is a commercial, pay-for app that allows god mode.
The story is, that none of these functions are actually available unless you are a linden. Can we get some solid verification on that?
As verified by another Resident, some functions are real, and somewhat disconcerting:
The only ones people might find eyebrow-raising are the untethered camera (no limit on range, like an estate manager), silent snapshots (already had those if you used a non-SL method of screenshots), and... the ability to map-stalk anyone.
That's the one that annoys me.
That's the one that annoys me.
Another side note to everyone: This certainly could also be a keylogger or password grabber. Keep that in mind.
At the very least, LL can't expect the public to go on "unconcerned" about this. If it is a non-issue, we need to be told why it is a non-issue. If it is an issue, there needs to be even more of a response.
I can't see how that would be beyond reasonable at all, to expect, on the residency's part.
