Small tidbit of info about Gaia

[The Unintelligible]

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.
