#5029: Re: Cheating...

by tentus on 11/14/2005 22:39, refers to #5028

it's prbably a map hack. though that wouldn't explain the not dying.

it occurs to me that if i succeed in making a gravity variable for CL, then i'll have to cheat protec it too. dangit.

yea it was me...believe it or not.

The way I did it was use an external program(you probably were listening when I was talking to another guy in a room we were in xerxes), that edits the memory where the program keeps the variables. Say I search for a 32-Bit Signed Number, that has a value of 97(my health at that time). It comes up with 14 results. I go get hurt, and it changes one variable right before my eyes. That variable that resides at a certain address I take note of. Then I make the program change that memory addresses value every few seconds...minutes(I use 5), or hours. Whatever I want. The problem is that it stores everything client side.

Stupid me wasnt even aware that the program was open-source, until after I got done with the hack. I hear you can't compile your own versions and use them with the legal one right? Even so, my method bypasses that.

#5031: Re: new sauerbraten release

by _Fanatic on 11/15/2005 04:37, refers to #5016

I just got the new drivers 81.94, no change. Most (not all) wall textures are all messed up.

So this is something that I'm screwed with? Or is something broken in the drivers that I should push over to NVidia to ask them to fix in the next release?

Bugging nvidia to fix their drivers to work would probably be the constructive thing to do.

Congrats, you're a dick. This isn't some big retail project where there are reams of developers who are paid to fix this thing. Hacking Cube is basically like kicking canes out from under little old ladies - sure, you succeeded in beating someone, but it's not like there's any challenge to it.

And yeah, the opensource version has different netcode.

Health hacking isn't even the end of the abuses you could have. You could probably sniff out the damage-dealing packets and then just kill other players telepathically.

Macpunk, did you read the readme that comes with the source? The author explains there that everyone could easily hack cube. Its client-side based and gives a shit about security.

Can you give me some ammo that I can go to them with?

Any technical stuff would be most helpful to throw at NVidia. Might be fun to see how they ignore me. :)

Did you get my email about some of the new tunes for Sauerbraten?

tell them that "opengl fixed function pipeline texture coordinate generation functionality is broken". They can look at sauer for an example, or ask me for more details/help. But I doubt you'll get a response.

I had someone from ATI look at the depth buffer reading bugs they have, but they never fixed them.

They have no links on how to even send feedback or ask a question directly. I'd have to go through Dell.

Sadly, a complete waste of time...
