Author Topic: What's a "Back Door Admin Exploit"?  (Read 5326 times)

What a moron. At least it wasn't a good add-on.

It was a good idea.
It would be cool if someone redid it but with better script and such
No it wouldn't, scripts are open for everyone to read. It's a handicapped idea anyways.

It's an exploit(Or pure idiocy as radial says) of Blockland. It's mainly a code on a line in a script of an add-on that automatically gives you admin just by entering a server having that add-on. If you have that add-on he/she gave you switched on of course.
EXAMPLE:
You have a server sitting there, you're building stuff and blowing it up.
*Azherben joins your server*
Azherben automatically becomes admin.
Azherben bans all the other players and wands everything in sight(If he/she wanted to).


It's a very inconvenient and annoying script if you're not the guy who made it.

but not if the host/super admin/Admin bans/De-Admin him

It/still/is/bad. I/hope/he/gets/banned/if/he/hasn't/already.

I think he was referring to the supply drop, not the back door.

guys, i did take out his backdoor, should i repost it without it? it works perfectly fine without (so far, i've tested)

That really is so stupid.

Such a usefull feature, destroyed by such a need of power.

True.

it wasn't destroyed, only crapponed if you wish to fix it (ie, rename, and either take out the parts that are abusive to him, or ban him)

Planes dropping you weapons?

that sounds like a cool idea for a war server

Still, no one will give me the add-on


Wow, I can't believe the RTB Mod Team didn't shift through the code a bit.
There is a position open for "reading every loving line of code in every mod ever submitted" if you'd like to apply. PM Ephialtes and make sure you reference this post. Code can be obfuscated too, it's pretty trivial to shift all the letters in a piece of code up 2 letters and then write a function that shifts it down and executes it, so it's not as easy as ctrl+f admin, you need to read every bit of the mod.

I should add that this post was intended to be a joke and you should not take it seriously or actually apply. As soon as RTB found out that the code was in there it was pulled from the site and Badspot also added it to the crapon list. Beyond spot checks and the file scanner I think most code just gets waived through, although you would need to ask a mod reviewer about their habits. There isn't really a better way to do it because of the amount of code submitted daily. An exploit could hide anywhere, even inside places you might not normally look, like maps. I suppose some simple exploits could be added to the scanner.

Sounds like a Backdoor.agent for Viruses :U
Backdoor.Beasty.dr

EDIT: Where is the code bit? I want to see for myself before I start raging.
