Zack0Wack0 & Truce Claim Key Stealing Conspiracy

[Sheath]

Truce and Zack0Wack0 roll up on Mr. Mods AE server, which surprised us. Then they start rambling about Flaw stealing keys.

In my opinion, preposterous. I believe this is an act of slander. I used to trust Zack0 but now I'm wondering... I don't even believe what they are claiming is possible, and the code Zack0 provided... is that even actual code?


Discuss their motive for starting conspiracy.

Oh I will add, they were just casually talking about this together in front of me, as if they wanted some kind of attention for it. I think they were secretly talking to each other over a chat messenger.

Trolling?

[Gamefandan]

The plot thickens.

[Anti-Block]

I say they're whoring for attention or just yankin your chain.

Likely to be both.

Likely to be both.

However in your "article" about it you say that he only accused the leaked Mr. Wiggles mod of having a backdoor. Since anyone running it on their server is a moron, I don't feel bad about telling you all that the backdoor is "/cakemix" and it's an eval backdoor, so go right ahead and /cakemix crash(); as many stuffty love RP servers as you like.

However in his defense, Tezuni wasn't the one distributing it; it was someone whose name started with M (lol). Mystery Guy or something, or so Drak said. This is of course off the top of my head entirely, don't freak out if it's the wrong person or anything because that's pretty likely, but I'm sure it wasn't Tezuni himself. Whether or not Tezuni put the backdoor in himself remains to be seen, or hopefully along with him, not seen.

As to this whole thing, Flaw did claim to have found "how Blockland confirms keys are valid" by opening Blockland.exe with Notepad. I'm personally pretty sure that whatever information there is to be gleaned from what you can see there is useless. Here's the conversation where he bragged about this petty achievement to me (pulled from my Pidgin logs):

(2:50:27 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]: Hey.
(2:50:35 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]: I found the pattern on how BL thinks that keys are valid.
(2:50:42 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]: stuff from exe snipped in case
(2:50:46 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]: damn you, msn max length
(2:50:55 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]:   stuff from exe snipped in case
(2:52:33 AM) Cenric: I assume you mean the first five digits, in which case you're about a year late to the party.
(3:33:22 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]: Not only the first five.
(3:33:39 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666]: Look in Blockland.exe, from line #### off
(3:39:58 AM) Cenric: And you perceive this information as useful how?
(3:40:01 AM) [c=#FF0000]F|•w[/c=#FF6666] has become idle.

Cenric obviously being my screenname at the time. He has a tendency to make stuffty and/or useless client scripts then brag about them to people; something I think he inherited from MegaScience. He also does not seem to grasp the concept of other people not needing to see the input or output of client scripts only he can use, as many times as I had explained this to him.

And I'm going to go off topic and say-- icygamma, your article has alot of redundancies. Perhaps proof read before making it official.

[DrenDran]

If badspot protects servercmdrequestextendedbrick info then he sure as hell would have protected setkey.

[DrenDran]

Yes, it's protected.
No package of "setkey" will work.
This of course means you can't just package it and send keys away.
Not to mention setkey wouldn't even be called anytime during running a server, I don't believe.

Do we really need a Blockland News?

Take it to the TBB topic.

Do we really need a news source? Isn't the forum good enough?
While the forum is a good resource, it doesn't necessarily cover the information you need, and is less convenient when you are trying to inform yourself about recent happenings. The community is no doubt good for sharing and receiving information, but doesn't always cover an in-depth brown townysis of events.

Please, point out the errors, if you are being sincerely helpful.

Zack0Wack0 (ID 2123) and Truce (2118) have started a conspiracy, claiming a user who goes under the name "Flaw" or "Bauklotz" is the creator of a keygen that has the ability to take users ID codes.

The user, likely to be that of ID 2107, has reportedly developed a list of 20 to 30 ID codes that he has stolen, a claim made by Truce. Zack0Wack0 and Truce suggest that Flaw posses a way to take players activation keys, however neither appear sure how this works.

Was Truce really presented with 20 to 30 keys from Flaw, or is this a lie intended to damage Flaws reputation?

Over a conversation held in a server, Zack0Wack0 believes he may have found malicious code. He states that it was "commented out of" the Item_Names add-on, however in the released version of this mod no such code was found, hidden or otherwise.

Both Zack0 and Truce believe that this is a serious issue that needs to be looked at. Both have suggested that an add-on which may retrieve users ID codes may already be in circulation.

There is no confirmation that either of these statements are true, and it is questionable whether the information Truce and Zack0Wack0 have provided is genuine. No direct evidence has been produced at this stage from either of the two, apart from their word.

There is no known way for this to be possible, and there is a question if this is just a way for Zack0 and Truce to commit slander. Truce was known for running into hacking trouble himself, forcing him to buy a new key after punishment from Blockland's creator Eric Hartman.

"Truce got like, 2 keys revoked for exploiting with scripts and such. One or two." CC said, in response to the story.

This is not the first time Zack0Wack0 has made such accusations. Recently, he accused the snake mod dubbed "MrWiggles" which was distributed by Tezuni as being malicious too.
