Auto Refresh Bot Hack -VICTIM OF- Help Wanted
Posted: April 30th, 2009, 9:49 am
Can someone explain to me how this is exactly done with an automated switch that goes off, when someone is manually kicked from the game?
This is my experience:
The only Windows program I use, because Battle.net is so fucking stupid, I have to make an executable file and reconvert it with binaries... so I can program my own Auto Refresher. I use Mono Frame working tools and X11 to execute commands, and not through Boot Camp or Virtual PC to perform my Mac OS X or Linux OS. I use the Auto Refresh program I made in binaries.
Anyway, I was hosting this game. Usual shit... spoofs think they can join my game.
I ask this guy, he calls himself THEBURNINATOR with his spoof, what his real profile is. If it checks out, I let them stay. Basically I do have a ban list, so I'm making sure it's not one of those people.
Well, he says: "If you kick me you will die," or whatever. Usual idle threats.
I don't have a screen shot of everything, but I managed to tag another one of his also known as. He's got a Diablo account I think, too.
Anyway, long story short: When I kick him, AS SOON AS I KICK HIM, my auto refresh is fucking up. Stops working. I quit it, quit terminal and X11, and reboot my auto refresher. STILL not working. So I force quit it. Not working again. Then I exit the game, and decide to remake. See if that works... I look at my map folder and every single map is "unavailable." I forget the actual message, but it was somewhere along the lines of "cannot locate file in map directory." And I was like, shit... fucking weird. So I reboot Warcraft 3, and I try to create again. THIS TIME My refresher is going fucking nuts: Every single man and his dog is joining my game and leaving like my refresher. Then my refresher comes up with:
BORZ-DA-GANGSTA has joined the game.
BORZ-DA-GANGSTA has left the game.
For all the slots. This guy, whoever he is, hacked my map directory for custom lobby, then fucks up my auto refresher... and not only that, when I quit the second game I make, I lost my connection to Battle.net, and somehow I cannot access any of the American Servers.
Look, I'm no idiot when it comes to security and protection. But it was the damn speed of the hacking that was damn impressive: it was automatic. There's got to be some permissions that are being exploited somewhere through script: this was no brute force.
Should I attempt to get help from Blizzard? I don't have any real information to give to point to the culprit, because everything was spoofed, and even my anti-spoof wasn't working.
