hi sven, hi list
entschuldige, dass ich diese mail an die liste weiterleite, aber ich denke, das thema ist für alle (zukünftigen) netpd-user interessant.
you mentioned the security aspects of netpd. i admit that i never cared seriously about this topic, but i'm aware that netpd could be a security risk.
short description of the problem: with netpd it's possible to upload patches to the computer of all connected users and control them remotely. since there are some methods in pd to read or write data from/to harddisk, it would be possible with netpd to receive this data from a remote computer.
i'm not a specialist in security questions, so i appreciate every advice. my first thoughts tend to the direction of filtering out problematic objects during transmission of a patch. the first thing that everyone should care when using netpd is to avoid loading not used externals. especially the [shell] external is very delicate.
maybe this is naiv, but i think as long as there are only a few users, using netpd shouldn't be too dangerous, but it absolutely is an aspect to take care of.

hi roman, wenn du netpd public machst, solltest du nicht vergessen, dass es auch ein ziemliches sicherheitsrisiko darstellt... werden gesharte patches denn auf potentielle gefahren gescannt?
