Sender ids can be faked quite easily by overwriting os.getID or by using the modem api. Don't trust the id, use some other authentication method.

Really?! What kind of security are you using, how do you authorize a connection? />

I will make sure to check the senderId bevor writing the programm.

Most of the time there's not really a good reason to not use shell, could you elaborate?

A select few programs that come with CC use the shell API, and there are obviously a ton of user made ones that do.
The program I'm working on is a File explorer (which you should be looking forward to /> ), and it needs to be able to run programs

os.run({shell = shell}, "prog", "arg1")
