WTF Hackers on GW...?

IMHO:

This guy, whoever he is (Hmm, I wonder), is probably someone who learned it from someone else and is reading their instructions on how to do it every time he does it. If he was the one who re-discovered it, I'd seriously think he'd be smart on how to use it. His name is enough to imply that he's nothing but an attention seeking little pike. This will only end badly for him, as Arenanet will ban him, and most likely fix the exploit.

Now, since that's overwith, I say we move the discussion to a far more valuable topic, such as the rebalancing of the mesmer, and the much needed Spiteful Spirit move to Domination Magic.

Two questions:

1. Can you go into ABs with the Factions trial account?

2. When ANet bans you, do they ban your account + IP?

1. I think you can, not sure never been on a trial account myself.

2. I would think not, since more than one people can play on the same IP addy, and also the people ANet bans would end up buying new account = More money for ANet, wouldn't be very business smart to IP ban from that standpoint

[edit] Bug fixes

* Fixed an exploit that could be used to crash the game for every player in an instance.
Wasn't this supposed to be fixed?

He tells you to post here, and like a good little sheep, you obey?
Yeah, like a good little sheep that doesn't want my account hacked or w/e, I have no idea what he is capable of, so I post here. Also I figure people should be aware of it, and if it is posted here ANet will probably fix it faster =P

You wouldn't? If he started crashing you every time you logged on, would you post here for him? I would. Otherwise, you play a blank screen.

He works with your client, he could crash an instance, but he can't crash all of AB at once. Well.. unless he has other tricks up his sleeve

He absolutely could, if he can indeed push packets back at the server that process it to every client.

He could enter AB and crash the teams on the server he is on.

If what's said is true, the banning him won't do anything.

Because that sort of action is directly against several laws, including computer misuse acts.

Agreed... If he has an in... then he can exploit whatever. I am honestly surprised that he is taking this course of action. Buffer overflows are normally the first thing any hacker checks for and normally the first thing that never works. I am curious to see where this is going to go.

That means it HAS to be a chat-text overflow. He probably is using a mod to send a huge text packet to your client. The normal GW client won't allow that.

If that's the case, he could:

Crash everyone in the district by talking on LOCAL.
Crash everyone in the guild by talking on GC.
Crash everyone in the alliance by talking on AC.
Crash any individual player by PMing them.

I smell a ban coming.....

I still have to agree with Flubber. Sunder and the hacker are the same person. Everytime someone in the thread accuses him he replies with "Who me? Noo, I'm innocent. Honest. It wasn't me. Really! You believe me don't you?"

It's too obvious. "He doth protest too much".

Oh well, I'm done with this thread until Gaile or Andrew sees it and decides to post here.

Think what you want, The only reason I get upset at all is cause I don't like be accused of things I haven't done. And honestly, if I *was* the hacker, why would I even post on the forum, it's just common sense that Gaile or whoever could easily obtain my IP from the guru mods and track it in the game... Thats why crime-doers always have a buffer, I just so happened to have opened my mouth in Shing Jea to call him out for his spouting and he crashed me, so yeah... I'll do what he says cause I like playing GW

Just ignore him, it and the whole deal.
/Report or use the website or whatever, but publicizing it is just going to hype the situation. (Yes, this is hypocritical, but hey )
If he gets no attention, and knocks out everyone in the game, well done him. However, he'll have nobody to 'admire' his skills, so I sincerely doubt he will.
If you ignore him, give him no attention until he's banned, then it just keeps the problem local.
Ironically, I always get that out of memory error after leaving GW on for 3:30 hours, iirc, same code as well (Will double check later.)

Dont worry, if it is him we will find out soon enough. Gaile can just check the two ip adresses.

But im not accusing you of anything.

Not sure if you can, but I don't think this guy is using a trial account.

Well, this certainly removes all doubt anyone might have had that ANet wasn't right in banning the 117.

Here's to a new build tomorrow, and, early next week, two serious men in suits knocking on someones door.

I wouldn't be supprised that if it was some bug/program that alows him to bypass the text limit on Gw and just send a huge bit of text which will overflow the client.

See, I'm away from my pc a couple hours and I miss 5 pages lol...

Malice is gonna chat him now eh? That should be fun...hehe

Perhaps the aroma I was smelling wasn't the manure I thought ... perhaps it was just stupidity. Honestly, does he think this is going to make anyone more "sensitive to the plight" of the 117 (or 116..or whatever)? Yeah, we want people who try some weird kind of psudo terrorist hacking hostage attempt back in the game. That sounds just swell.

And that, my friends, was the reek of sarcasm

On Topic: You should send this to Anet. Just like everyone said. There isn't anything funny about crashing the server.

Yes, thats right, they are alone in most of the shots, completely empty of anyone else. From the shots, I'd say that this "hacker" was warping them around to several inaccessible outposts.
