Security Vulnerabilities

Hello everyone!

When I wrote the Advanced Random Generators, Mafia Scum Tools packages a couple of years ago, I was very inexperienced, and was merely creating a useful tool for a friend. Recently, however, I have become aware of a major security hole which I have left in the software, which is present in all Mafia Scum Tools versions. For more information, please see here:

The fix is trivial, but at this very moment in time, I do not have time to do it. Additionally, the algorithm needs a complete rewrite (it was obvious that I was ... paltry at writing code back then).

At this stage, I recommend that you DO NOT use this software on your home machine, if it is accessible over the internet.

I apologise for any inconvenience.
