Security Score: 7/10 - Good Security Practices

STRENGTHS:

1. MD5 PASSWORD HASHING!

`php

// account.php line 688

$db -> Execute('UPDATE players SET pass=MD5(\''.$_POST['np'].'\') WHERE id='.$player -> id);

// register.php line 188

$strPass = MD5($_POST['pass']);

`

MD5 hashing used! (Better than plaintext, though weak by modern standards)

2. ADOdb DATABASE ABSTRACTION

`php

// Uses ADOdb library (4,136 lines!)

$db -> Execute($query);

// Automatic escaping via ADOdb

`

Professional database layer! Prevents many SQL injection issues.

3. SESSION MANAGEMENT

`php

// logout.php line 86

$pass = MD5($_SESSION['pass']);

// Session-based authentication

`

Secure session handling.

4. EMAIL ACTIVATION

`php

// aktywacja.php - Email activation required

// aktywacja table stores pending registrations

`

Prevents spam accounts.

5. IP TRACKING

`sql

CREATE TABLE aktywacja (

ip varchar(50) NOT NULL,

-- IP logged for all registrations

)

`

Anti-abuse measure.

6. INPUT VALIDATION

• ADOdb handles escaping
• Form validation throughout
• Type checking

7. FILE PERMISSIONS

`php

// chmod.php - Permissions management

`

8. ERROR HANDLING

`php

// showerr.php - Controlled error display

// adodb_logsql - Query logging

`

WEAKNESSES:

1. MD5 PASSWORDS (WEAK)

• Rainbow tables exist
• No salting visible
• Should use bcrypt/PBKDF2

2. MyISAM ENGINE

`sql

TYPE=MyISAM

`

• No transactions
• No foreign keys
• No row-level locking
• Should use InnoDB

3. DIRECT SQL IN CODE

`php

$db -> Execute('UPDATE players SET pass=MD5(\''.$_POST['np'].'\') WHERE...')

`

• String concatenation
• Better to use prepared statements

4. OLD PHP

• Requires PHP 5.x
• Won't run PHP 8+

5. AGPL 3 COMPLIANCE BURDEN

• Must provide source.php
• Must allow source download
• Legal complexity

---

Code Quality Score: 8/10 - Professional Polish Team

STRENGTHS:

1. TEAM COLLABORATION (15+ Developers!)

`

15+ named developers in authors.txt

• Largest collaborative team in collection!
• Professional organization

`

2. PROFESSIONAL LIBRARIES

• ADOdb (4,136 lines) - Database abstraction
• Smarty (2,020 lines) - Template engine
• PHPMailer (1,345 lines) - Email handling

3. MVC ARCHITECTURE

`php

// Controller

core.php (1,206 lines)

// View

templates/*.tpl (116 files!)

// Model

class/*.php

`

4. MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT

`sql

-- Database level:

lang char(3) NOT NULL default 'pl'

-- Code level:

languages/pl/

languages/en/

`

Polish + English!

5. COMPREHENSIVE DOCUMENTATION

`

docs/poradnik/poradnik.pdf (588 KB!)

docs/poradnik/poradnik.odt (217 KB)

INSTALL.txt

readme/authors.txt

readme/GPL.txt

readme/AGPL.txt

readme/BSDLicense.txt

`

Full Polish manual!

6. SOURCE CODE VIEWER

`php

// source.php - AGPL 3 requirement

// Allows viewing most game files

`

Open source compliance!

7. MODULAR DESIGN

• 130+ game files
• Separate concerns
• Plugin architecture

8. BUG TRACKING

`php

// bugtrack.php - Built-in bug tracker!

`

Professional development practice!

WEAKNESSES:

1. POLISH COMMENTS

`php

// kopalnia = mine

// kowal = blacksmith

// las = forest

// góry = mountains

// złoto = gold

`

Makes international contribution harder.

2. MIXED NAMING

`

English: battle.php, market.php

Polish: kopalnia.php, czary.php, złoto.php

`

Inconsistent.

3. LARGE FILES

`

tribes.php (1,792 lines)

admin.php (1,370 lines)

core.php (1,206 lines)

equip.php (1,178 lines)

house.php (1,111 lines)

`

Should be split.

4. MyISAM ENGINE

• Outdated
• Should use InnoDB

5. OLD PHP

• PHP 5.x required
• Won't run PHP 8+
