MindArk: Bug Exploit

Vulnerabilities in games pose particular opportunities for hackers and even other gamemakers, who may be interested in trying to steal a competitor's players, Ferrante said. Shutting down a competing game could be particularly lucrative for another gaming company.
"This is something we have seen," Ferrante said. "We have a lot of companies that ask for these kinds of denial-of-service attacks to attack competitors. This is really a big concern for companies."
The first problem the pair presented is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, made by Activision. Auriemma showed in a video how the server administrator received a warning when he remotely crashed the server running the game.
Auriemma masked some details in his presentation so as to not give too much information away, but he and Ferrante are planning to release advisories on the two vulnerabilities next Tuesday, the launch day for "Black Ops II," the latest game in the Call of Duty series. Ferrante said they are willing to work with Activision but aren't going to volunteer the information, since their research is part of their business.
The second problem relates to CryEngine 3, a graphics engine developed by Crytek for use in its own and other companies' games.
Auriemma's demonstration showed an attack on CryEngine 3 within the game Nexuiz. The attack, at the server level, enabled him to create a remote shell on a game-player's computer.
In the demonstration, Auriemma caused a graphic of cat riding a rocket to be displayed on the victim's computer.
"Once you get access to the server, which is basically the interface with the company, you can get access to all of the information on the players through the server," Ferrante said.
In general, game companies don't seem to be very focused on security but rather on performance of the game itself, Ferrante said. Adding security checks can slow down games, and if the companies don't deem the problem a very critical issue, it will usually be ignored.
"These are games that have a very large market," Auriemma said.

 

Well the speedhack in CE only speeds up the application or software thats why mobs and water and trees move faster when enabled.
No fix yet.

 

I don't know if its been fixed yet been a while since last time i looked at this , if any one was to test would not do it on main account and too much risk to even try.
I do think it has been fixed though unless their is another way i don't know about or any has talked about or keeping it private, or maybe an update to cheat engine.
once a cheat/hack is detected have to wait for a patch for the cheat from the maker from other games out their APB to name one.

For detection its an anti cheat like: Punkbuster , Fair fight , Warden , Steam Valve anti cheat. I don't know what MA have maybe something custom made to detect stuff.
MA don't snoop on computers its more like a process handler or something , Punkbuster kicks for unallowed driver or software.
Maybe there was just a flaw with all this the way i suspect it , it could be wrong if MA systems detect a change then it flags and does a search then decides on action.

I mean what if cheat engine memory editor was able to crash MA's servers it only takes 1 flaw or egg in the nest maze to cause something that goes against the rules
how to force a computer to divide by 0.

I think speed was static because all one had to do in cheat engine for speed hack is tick the small square box never had to search for address or anything only add
the Game process , address and all other stuff is dynamic don't know much about it all though i say this through logic of the brain and mind.
The cheat engine forum has a lot articles and knowledge on the subject.

I do believe their is a small group or a few that does these things exploring within EU
off topic any one watching Mr Robot?

 

It changes something under the hood yeah icing on the cake, don't know what it changes.
Could MA detect it it depends on a lot of stuff when this info first came out it was undetected only say a few people was using it then leaked onto forums more people became aware of it then MA got to read info through support and forums and people complaining then i think they fixed it.
MA can detect debugging with cheat engine if they fixed the speed tick box flaw then they can probably detect cheat engine altogether.
MA can't really detect everything like a god some flaws have to exist man made after all. the question is not much of can they detect it
its more of what do they do or use to detect it, best i can say is research anti cheat software.

Don't think i can explain it better than my post above reply earlier and the anti cheat. A lot of stuff comes into the equation in this field its not magic after all
Don't claim to be a L33t hacker or have tons of knowledge just find this an interesting subject i don't venture into this much anymore just don't think
its worth the time.

 

I guess I'm saying they take reactionary and precaution into defending themselves against hacking and malicious activities.
I also think with window names one could just rename the window to say chrome or hide malicious attacks in a way.

I still hold my belief they don't spy on computers and monitor everything the way I see it they detect for hooks into the program
modifications of program or see something fishy at play.
Skilled and motivated hackers can hack anything one advantage would be to know what MA do or use to detect stuff.

I'm ok talking on this kind of subject but at times it can get intense I don't want to go into the black hat scene, prefer grey or white.

I found this from another site I have link if you want to read it all here is a quote from it. (Cryengine forum)

This is what happened with EU some users using cheat engine fell through the ground, don't know if one anything more about that but ideas could lead to being invisible
in pvp.

 

I'm finding it hard to explain for detection topic, look into anti cheat software and a few google search's it will explain it
a little bit better than I can, I have a website link with vast info on anti cheat http://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/anti-cheat-bypass/
that forum link sub forum has topics/threads on anti cheat. A few hours study will tell you a lot. link is safe but do research first.

I also have CE but rarely open it these days.

When I messed with CE I did fall through the ground at old oil rig at ashi so it was like forced, long time ago.

 

Will bookmark this thread for future reference I forgot I made it, if I find anything interesting or discover anything will update.

 

try to send a support case to MA when you get solid evidence use recording software for proof, Also bring attention to it on forums might scare people away from doing it and put them on a watchlist by MA.
