To The Conduit Cheaters: Be Afraid

[Chaos Punk]

Taken from http://www.qj.net/The-Conduit-virtually-un...g/49/aid/133160

High Voltage's The Conduit is apparently vulnerable to hackers. This is the diagnosis of hetoan2 -- a hacker himself.

According to him, he discovered that "Everything is virtually unprotected" when he dumped the game's data and used a remote debugging program to open it up. "All values can be edited fairly easily, and there's no virtual sign of an attempt at hiding values, fixing bugs, or preventing online hackers."

Both offline and online codes are completely identical as well, so there should be no difficulty at all in accessing both. "The only difference is in the online mode the game sends the variables in real-time to their server.

And what do you know, he's done his civic duty and released some patch codes, initially altering them as well so that they can corrupt the save files of anyone using them. And what's more, he is now working with High Voltage to catch those cheaters. Their MAC addresses will then be sent to Nintendo for banning.

Guess the old adage does ring true: it takes one to know one.

Hopefully these cheatin bastards will think twice about using those damn annoying health cheats next time they go into Wi Fi.

Nintendo should have done something like this a long time ago when the cheaters first appeared online in the first place! Why are they worrying about it now!?

Hmm, as far as I can tell not Nintendo is worrying about this... HighVoltage does! I guess the banning would be a piece of cake for Nintendo, if HV gathers all the information about the cheaters.

They're not worrying about it, I doubt they even care. All they're doing is getting the addresses from High Voltage and banning people, High Voltage are the ones ptting the work in . Nintendo should do the same with their own games but we know they wont.

This person's done the duty of a good samaritan. I respect him for being a good hacker.

EDIT: No pun intended.
EDIT2: No wait, pun definitely intended.

Nintendo aren't the ones keeping up with this, High Voltage is, and like the article says, the hacker has already given resources they can use to fight back like making it so that cheaters' save files would become corrupted. And banning wouldn't be too hard since there isn't TOO many cheaters, only maybe a few thousand, at least it's not 100,000. They can simply ban the cheaters' MAC addresses from The Conduits servers, problem solved.

I guess it's good to see some wrinkles being ironed out.
