Packet hacking

oh shit toy and his flames

Oh you, dk173

• 1. I added a <3 after because I like LegendaryHack - this means I wasn't flaming and you can't read
• 2. I added an actual reply to the users question - you didn't, meaning i'm infracting you for spamming in my section

packet editing isn't illegal. There is no law saying which order the ones and zeros must come out of your network card. All you would be doing is just changing your ram "before it makes it out the network card." And remember, we are allowed to have "hacking" sites because we are only modifying our ram, which we own. Once we modify "AND RELEASE" an executable, we are infringing on copyrights which is illegal. Also once we change memory on someone elses computer "maliciously" (without their consent or indirect [must be indirect as most people have no idea what is going on in the background] knowledge) Then we are breaking the law.

They will never "range ip ban" anyone from a game as there may be users who are not breaking the EULA who may be affected by this. Infact I have never heard of anyone being "ip banned" from a professionally produced game (game wide, not server wide). This is what cd-key's are for.

Don't [say] it unless you really know what [you're] [saying] anyway

packet editing is a bit advanced unless you are already familiar with network programming (using send/recv / sendto/recvfrom at least) and I would suggest starting a bit simpler. however, assuming you have the necessary programming experience, I will give a brief rundown of how you would setup such a hack.

Personally I run the IAT (import address table) and hook the send/recv functions to point to my wrapper functions (which can decide whether or not to call the actual functions)which provide any feature I want directly. Replacement_send could look through the buffers of actions on their way to the server and make minor changes ect. One example would be to take a string AA BB CC DD EE where AA contains the length on the command (5 bytes) BB contains the command itself (an enumerated value given to a command such as COMMAND_MOVE equ 1) CC contains the X value to move to, and DD contains the Y value. While EE controls which unit to move to the coordinates.

You could then take the command 05 01 2E 3C 36 and change it into 05 03 2E 3C 36 where 03 is COMMAND_ATTACKMOVE. then anytime you try to tell some unit to move, they are told to attack move instead.

somthing like this, although I'm doing this very rough. And done in asm as I don't code in anything else. =p

@Jakor,and your paragraph on it not being illegal.

It depends what you are editing if you edit something that costs money or harms the server in anyway then it is considered illegal.

Lets bring in Combat Armz (s) in as an example if you edit the game to get yourself free nx that is illegal and you can be fined for this. If you are only editing things on your own computer and no other networks then it is legal. If you do not believe me read up more on this matter

Also to back up my point and so I do not have to post a massive post just to prove my point I will bring in another person who I know know's his shit on this topic so here:

Also, I am taking into consideration that you may packet edit, but just because you do it doesn't mean its not illegal -.-

Thievery aside, you're post backed up everything I said. Look at the WOW server's they have emulated. Viewing/Modifying the data being sent will not be illegal. It is completely possible to re-write a Battle.net metaserver and reroute the clients without ever breaking the EULA. This is what I was saying, and what you said was completely illegal if you look at your post. Blizzard had their fair share of buffer overflow exploits which the exploitation of these would fall into the illegal category. But simple modification of packets like he said is not.

What a good reply.

Thank you sir and welcome back Jakor. Now, when I type my reply to this thread it means it's the actual way things are... If you are to modify the way you catch or construct packet data, you are truly in the legal and just like any other game hacker. In almost all cases, the illegal came with making your own servers, modifying source code and interrupting their profits. I have to say Combat Arms is a bad example because they've only filed invalid DMCA notifications. I think Labyrnth is also confused, beings countless Blizzard hacking sites remain but only the ones who do such illegal things, as I noted, have ever been shut down. You are all correct in some way and should drop it, but for the record Jakor usually knows what he's talking about. I still love you though Legend!

I was just trying to save BUREK5 the trouble of fucking up his game and getting in shit for it anyway >_>

packet editing for a free game??? you ppl are RETARDED, you risk you fucking life for a G_A_M_E, lol

no flame intetioned
