I offer this script for all those poor newbies walking around with cabins on thier heads:

CODE
default
{
	attach(key id)
	{
		if( id != NULL_KEY )
		{
			llRequestPermissions(id, PERMISSION_ATTACH);
		}
	}
	
	run_time_permissions(integer p)
	{
		if(p & PERMISSION_ATTACH)
		{
			llDetachFromAvatar();
		}
	}
}
This is also a response to a certain duplication program I've seen. Not sure how much this will help, and if it does help, I'm not sure how long the help will last, all things considered.

OH! OH!
This looks like it will prevent FLEA infestation!

That's excellent!

Really useful for preventing cabinhead, or I guess cabinhand, as of a few releases ago...

Alas, not so useful for preventing copybot :/ Copybot can copy anything the user can get a key for, which means anything they can bump into. It's just that copying worn things is quicker and easier.

I am so out of the loop. What the heck is a copybot? I guess that can't even be discussed here. I guess it uses some bug/loophole in the security checks?

From various other places... the copybot is something that intercepts the packets of data being sent to and fro telling your client how to draw things. It allows for copying and some uploading mechanism for the packets, hence cloning.

It will do prims, avies, clothes, textures, but not scripts since they don't get streamed in and out to the client.

There are, quite rightly, a lot of content creators who are not solely scripters rather hot under the collar about it all. http://blog.secondlife.com/2006/11/13/copyrights-and-content-creation-in-second-life/ is the current definitive statement I think.

Yeah, I looked for it after I posted. A libsl tool, like I suspected. Well, that makes more sense than an in-game exploit, I guess.

This is unfortunate. As with anything else, the potentially 'good' uses of a tool/project get shadowed by the malicious ones.
