It's not hacking a Poser file. It's a documented feature. It is public knowledge. It is used in many products to launch a script after loading some content. I published a set of "poses" for Apollo that would switch and replace the face texture and adjust shader parameters without messing up the shader that the user had customized, unlike a mat-pose or material file which would have done so. These poses did their job by launching an associated Python script.

There are also scripts associated with a Poser document, so if somebody gives you a scene file, it can run a script as well.

These are not secrets that I have revealed to hackers.

Stop making stuff up. You're really being a total ass. There are people on this forum who don't understand all the subtleties and details of what we're discussing. You throw in just enough buzzwords that it creates some allowance that maybe you have a point. Despite the fact that I am the author of the software we are discussing, you have repeatedly argued that you understand it better than I. 

The TOS prevents me from being more explicit, so I have to speak rather more carefully. 

Ready? People - don't believe what kawecki is saying. Nothing I've talked about is dangerous because I talked about it. It was dangerous already. And nothing he's talked about is dangerous, period, under any circumstances. He has mentioned here and there some things like email exploits that do exist, but those have nothing to do with Poser.

Kawecki, this isn't about style or manner of speaking. Your arguments don't have any logic to them - they are not supported by any facts nor of your personal experiences. You just keep making things up. Over and over each time somebody explain something to you, you make up a new accusation, a new interpretation, a new fear, without any justification. Your rambling list of unrelated security problems associated with email and browsers, and VBScript is just that - rambling nonsense. It is non-responsive to the points I've made.

You're trolling, now, plain and simple. Knock it off.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
