How to virus in Warcraft III

[Azlier]

Dammit, you've got to turn every discovery with potential into an exploit, don't you?

Let's see what Blizzard's going to smash up this time. Standard procedure, you know.

 

[Hatebreeder]

Everytime you do stuff like this, something gets taken away =/

 

[DioD]

blizzard fixed return bug and given bugtable in return, its np.

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

Everytime you do stuff like this, some vulnerability in our PCs gets repaired =]

Fix'd.

 

[DioD]

lets code windows then

 

[Jesus4Lyf]

lets code windows then

Lol, off topic, but would you believe my laptop needed to be reformatted twice due to Windows updates screwing it up? I only got it back up yesterday...

 

[DioD]

well, i will check my library for other old stuff, there is always things to post.

anyway parts of this system can be used as external data processor (you may load data into preloader and process it inside) and sync module to load local data to other player.

"this was kept in secret for 2 years, now it does not matter.
warcraft is dead anyway."

Which is why this forum is still active. After all nobody plays or uses Warcraft III anymore. No one. Nobody. And no one here has a copy of Warcraft I in their closet


>_>

I was playing Warcraft II last night on DOS Box
Warcraft can't die because iz too awesome

 

[Troll-Brain]

Nah, we are just all necromancers.

 

[DioD]

soon(R) microsoft will publish its bugdows 8 with ever more limits then 7 or 6 with ever harder DRM and many many "stupid" people will buy it (cos its desktop soooooo beutifullll) and every old game will die, cos it wont support 32 bit applications well.

So a map like DotA can contain Viruses? Or am i lost?
A script inside the map can give you viruses?

 

[mylemonblue]

A DotA RIPOFF may, if the person who stole (Read: Unprotected then added their name to it) decided to add the coding to it. But frankly it is VERY unlikely the originals have those codes inside.

Does this work for Vista? Mac? Linux?
But what if the computer do not have internet??? Will it work??
Doesn't Windows Defender stops it?

 

[Laiev]

>>Does this work for Vista?
Yes, work for 7 and XP, should work for Vista

>>But what if the computer do not have internet??? Will it work??
No, because it need to download the virus

 

[mylemonblue]

Windows yes.
Mac, yes if the coder knows how/wants to. (Contrary to Apple zealot's belief, macs are NOT immune to viruses. If the intruder knows how to code for that platform, it can be infected.)
Linux not likely. I don't think WC3 can run on Linux without an emulator.

 

[DuelPlayer]

>>But what if the computer do not have internet??? Will it work??
No, because it need to download the virus

If it is that so, all they have to do is to switch off their modem if they are using wireless or etc in order to counter this thing

 

[Laiev]

@DualPlayer

if you're playing online, you'll be disconnected

 

[DuelPlayer]

Is it possible to change the path to some unknown folder instead of start up folder and make the players download very big files ( waste their space) without them knowing?

 

[Lyerae]

Yes, most likely.

 

[Weep]

Will it overwrite a conflicting file path? If so, a map should overwrite the player's copy of DotA with one that is just subtly tweaked so it still passes the is-it-the-same-map check but will cause them to desync in game.

Or, overwrite C:\WINDOWS with Linux.

You know, something beneficial.

:thup:

(Yes, yes, file permissions and all that. I'm joking, anyway.)
