- react: Update to new root rendering method
- react-router: Replace useHistory with useNavigate
- react-router: Replace <Switch> with <Routes>
- reimplement sticky notice from scratch in ModPackViewPage
- remove isomorphic-ws as it's latest version doesn't work and only
saves one line of code.
- remove import of antd.dark.css
- fix misc css breakages.
Update non-web related dependencies to their latest version were
possible. It appears yargs has changed its parsing of command line
options to no longer remove a layer of quotes.
The LTS releases for v12 and v14 are already end of life and the v16 is
end of life in under two months from now on. Bump supported version up
to v18 as it does not make sense to continue to support EOL releases.
Even if we wanted to keep supporting them, our dependencies will not.
Note that Node.js v18 is currently not avaliable via the NodeSource PPA
on Ubuntu 19.10 and below or Debian 9 and below.
The prepare script runs before publishing a package, after installation
of a package from source, and when running npm install without
arguments in the repository. These are the times where a build of the
web interface files are required to make the web interface work and
removes a manual step from using the package(s). The "build" script on
the other hand is never automatically invoked by npm.
Move the depenedncies needed to run the tests into test/package.json and
manage it using lerna. This should make it easier to selectively
install only what's needed to run the software.
Add authentication plugin that does a simple challenge response protocol
to verify that the player trying to log in is who they claim to be. The
process goes as follows:
1. A player code is generated for a player that wants to log in and is
displayed in-game.
2. The player code is input into the web interface and the master
generates a verification code as a challenge back along with a token.
3. The player inputs the verification code in-game and is logged in to
the web interface in doing so.
To do the actual login the web interface polls a verify endpoint every 2
seconds until the code has either been verified or expired. The
challenge comes from being unable to control the verification code and
having to input it as a player logging into one of the servers in order
to login.
Some additional steps are taken in order to increase the difficulty for
an attacker to subvert the challenge:
- The login process must be started from in-game.
- Generated codes are only valid for a limited timespan which is
configurable and 2 minutes by default.
- The verification code comes with a token that only works with one
player code and verification code combo and must be provided to pass
validation.
