[EASY] 'bypass' leader boards!

[Fatras]

Only tested on [Vindictus EU]

the game servers leaderboards run on hosted time.
So lets say you threw 10000 spears because of a bot/hack on 11/11/2011 ( your computers own time )
It will be 'added' to the list of 11/11/2011. 10000 on 1 day ( yep risky )

How to avoid this?

Before you launch Vindictus EU.
Change your computers time to 1980 or something.( ages before nexon )
Then launch it.. try it with some spears
For the ranking 'spears thrown'
you will see yourself on the leaderboards, but
once you log back in with the original time.
There will be no such amount of spears thrown by you
on the current leaderboards.

So for real players, dont worry dont need to.
For hackers, set your comp time back till 1980-2000.
and there will be no public logs nexon can check
( only client logs )

Tested on EU only.
works!

Peace

How i found out?

rewrote DNextract.
checked vind data.

this was shown mid-message

Set.Time as client.Local.local time
the source is a bit obstructed as you can see
but hé any dev/writer/compiler knowns what above means!

[Fatras]

bet this way of passing the LB also works for 'amount of money achieved'
Number of specific items obtained/listed.

Very nice find...but now that you put it out in the open they'll change it. Doesn't bother me, my bot doesn't use spears, or attack at all...LOL

[cursing85]

i always have 0 spears thrown without this so it only can be's cc_send_start_game_message fault. so theres no need for changing computer time
