Small tidbit of info about Gaia

[323]

If this post is addressed to me:

>bring
>redundant

Ok.

It also isn't about it being a "tidbit" at all. Just completely frivolous. I DARE you to try to apply this information in any way, shape or form.

Otherwise I agree.

Edit: I know that wasn't directed towards me, so disregard this post Kain. My bad, your post was confusing because it was vague and you didn't quote Flare.

Apply it in something?

Ummm....

Hmm....

How about this? What if I got a group of people together, or a botnet, to DDoS all of the game servers from this port? It would render all of Gaia's games useless, and would be worth a fair amount of laughs. Destructive? Yes. Pointless? Completely! Entertaining? You know it.

Wouldn't work.

Try finding direct exploits. For instance, a few months back I discovered an exploit in the game servers that I named the trial-and-error exploit due to discovering it simply by trial and error (I was creating a TCP client and accidentally created a malformed sequence of packets).

It would enable me to crash any designated game server due to a memory/object leak it would cause (based on how a dev explained it to me when he discovered it and subsequently patched it).

Ahh, I remember all the butthurt I would cause for the ~week it worked. The masses of complaint threads, the number of people I would mess with, and so forth. That's truly and beautifully pointlessly entertaining.

Edit: In fact, here's a PM I received regarding the aforementioned exploit somewhat recently.



He was a witness to the glory of the exploit and the havoc it caused.

Haha that sounds great.

See, I'd love to do that, but I'll admit something: I don't have the level of knowledge or skill to write 0day or discover exploits. I wish I did, and I've been reading up on it, but for now I have to stick to dumb skiddy programs to help me. I hate it, and wish I could do it on my own. I've been trying to learn though, which is good.
