It works region-wide without utilizing channel listeners, probe-rezzing, sensors, !quit spamming or other inferior techniques. All the heavy-lifting and calculations are processed outside of the grid leaving CDS lag-free and secure.ĭetection is done in various ways, reliable with no chance for false positives. CDS is a networked system, banlists are automatically shared so CDS users benefit from each other. Avatars will stay in the database forever and treated as potentially harmful, even after returning to a harmless viewer. If an avatar entering your land is detected and identified as harmful, it can be teleported home and banned from the parcel automatically (Estatebans can be done via included Opensource script). With a simple menu system and 1-click installation process, the CDS is an orb-like device, rezzable on your land.

The project has been proven serious and very effective, it has been in place grid-wide for over 4 years now, employed by most of the big brands in SL, shopping regions, rental estates and clubs, while comparable systems and their creators have been removed from the grid over serious TOS offenses. It will not give you 100% protection, yet it is fairly efficient at identifying and getting rid of people running viewers with copybot/griefing functionality, spam bots, beggar bots, grid crawling bots who don't identify themselves, known sim crashers and such. There have been no cases of misuse, breach of privacy or security breaches of the system in any form.įirst off, we would like to emphasize that the Gemini Client Detection System should not be seen as some kind of silver bullet to defeat any malicious, SL related software. It has been analyzed many times over the years and found as very secure and effective. In the past 4 years, the Gemini CDS has created quite the debate about malicious Second Life™ software and resident privacy.
