do you have players on your shard??
and what kind of page is it??
and what exactly did he get you to do..........

FrankFurter · 07-23-2003, 09:35 PM

yeah i had like 15 players on my shard........

Tru · 07-23-2003, 09:39 PM

ok well its obviously one of them....
im real curious what he made you do (so that he wouldnt crash your shard again)

FrankFurter · 07-23-2003, 09:52 PM

he wanted to be a gm

Tru · 07-23-2003, 10:40 PM

lmao how juvenille on his part
did you figure out who it was and ban them of course?

**krrios** · 07-23-2003, 10:50 PM

This is caused by a custom script. :shock:

Ruthless Virgin · 07-23-2003, 10:50 PM

I am an Co owner of Franks shard we banned both his ips and his buddies.
To all who wish to know it was robin.yer.hood and a random. They are going to all the best shards and doing this so be on the look out and help us ban them form uog. He has done it to Krw pvp and Adopt a Newb pvp
and tried us and they do know how to hack so just be careful everyone.

[code:1]
System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
...
at Server.Misc.TestCenter.MsgPrompt.OnResponse(Mobile from, String text)
[/code:1]

So does this mean that Mr.Crasher is entering a non-text string where it's expecting plain text, and that it's happening in the TestCenter scripts?

Just re-iterrating what krrios said for those of you that didnt listen

Alari · 07-24-2003, 12:57 AM

=P

I'm just trying to understand the crash messages.

Ruthless Virgin · 07-24-2003, 01:32 AM

its not caused by our scripts it was done by a progam. some sort of ip flood thingy.

Eldron · 07-24-2003, 01:33 AM

Hmm, well I got to say that sucks

hope it can be fixed soon

Ruthless Virgin · 07-24-2003, 01:36 AM

all you got to do is firewall the person using it. but still its a pain to deal with.

**Ryan** · 07-24-2003, 02:25 AM

lol you cant argue the stack trace.

if it was an IP flood then this line wouldn't be in the error log

Phantom · 07-24-2003, 05:25 AM

Custom Script...

Aenima · 07-24-2003, 09:42 AM

yes, as Krrios, Ryan, and Phantom said, this is caused by a custom script.

as it is a custom script, we can't really help you find the problem script. =/

oh, heh, I remember robin.yer.hood from RUO Test Center, :P

comtoexcel · 07-24-2003, 04:33 PM

You could use a really good trace route software that i use and it may even tell you thier personal name and the street address of where they are. I have used this software to track down a college kid that keep pinging my server, and wrote him a email (address given by the software) threatening him with legal action.

The software also gave me the name of the Network Admin at the college and i sent him an email explaining what his student was doing on his T1 connection and as far as i know he lost his internet privilages from his dorm room.

Great Software to fight back with.

Ruthless Virgin · 07-24-2003, 04:57 PM

Thanx Com we will try it out and see what we can do.

07-25-2003, 11:54 AM

To clarify, this is indeed a custom script problem. Now I know for a fact that robin.yer.hood is incapable of hacking as he's asked me to do his dirty work to servers in the past. Also, I'd like to clarify additionally that the attacks on kRw PvP and Adopt a newb were NOT done by robin.yer.hood or A Random.

Those two are no threat and shouldn't be viewed as such.

robin.y.e.r.hood · 07-25-2003, 03:55 PM

k.... uhm yeah you make me sound so bad its true i dont hack rofl i say that constantly I GET OTHERS TO DO IT FOR ME but seriously kids yes i have HELPED hack but i did not hack your shard on adopt nor did i hack kRw altho some people in qop may have i did not now you want to know who did? your good ol friend trustworthy oh and i may add afriad to duel me (scurred) newbish RASPUTIN i dunno how 2 spell it but yes he got some of his friends to do it cus he cant hack although he is the nerd typeSO YOUR ALL OWNED :twisted:

07-25-2003, 03:58 PM

hahahahaha

rich527 · 07-25-2003, 04:01 PM

way to spoil fun...adopt a newb was a gay server but it was the only server with players on it lol now i gotta go through the trouble of making my own server again and get it to work with the router of mine....just so i can have some fun without paying 13$ a month for some gimp to use these non-readable spells that do ungodly amounts of damage because his piggy bank is bigger than mine...

comtoexcel · 07-25-2003, 06:22 PM

Robin you better read your US Federal Anti-Hacking Laws before you go on a mightier than thou attitude.

[code:1]The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (Ameneded Oct 3, 1996)

Section 1030. Fraud and related activity in connection with computers

(5)

(A) knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer;[/code:1]

Just because you didnt DO it you are aiding in the process and therefore if the server admins that you are helping hack into wanted to persue legal action against you it wouldnt take much to convince a lawyer to take the case.

Becareful Robin you are treading on very unstable ground right now. And bragging about it goes against every hacker ethic there is.
