Starcraft Patch 1.17.0 (unannounced/discovered) - Page 6

Mod note: It is likely that this is an internal testing version not intended to be public yet. Battle.net reportedly does not work after patching, which indicates that it's not yet "released".

Free XXX is such a funny joke.

Tibet before 1949 was under slavery.
It's right Tibet is not free, so Tibet should have the right to choose slavery again.
It's also right America is not free. People should have the right to buy slaves. Americans are forced to abandon slavery!

Free America!
Free Saudi Arabia!
Free Syria!

1.08 was also leaked early in a similar way. Lots of skeptics then, too!

Amusement of the comments in this thread aside, it is interesting that Blizzard would make a binary available to the public even when it apparently still has major bugs (eg not working on battle.net). Someone definitely goofed.

If you people somehow think http://ftp.blizzard.com is a scam, then please, learn about how the Internet actually works before you spew any more of your "wisdom" here. The patch is 100% legit, although possibly not intended to be released yet. Enjoy your new palettes.

That's exactly why I'm skeptical because I know how the internet works. On the other hand, you don't. Go learn a little bit about spoof URLs, spoof e-mails, etc before you talk about internet security.

The reason the scheme (http) is different from the subdomain (ftp) is because it's an HTTP gateway for their FTP server. In other words, the files are stored on an FTP server, but it's served to you through HTTP for compatibility reasons, and the entire process is transparent to you. This has traditionally been done because FTP is a weird protocol that opens a lot of ports and doesn't play well with firewalls. Furthermore, most web browsers don't have built-in FTP support anymore (Chrome and Firefox don't, for instance, unless you download an extension). The fact that ftp://ftp.blizzard.com/ doesn't work is irrelevant, since they can easily set up a server that is directly accessible only to other servers on their network (this is essentially how a load balancer works, after all).

Also, the domain (blizzard.com) is completely separate from the protocol used. blizzard.com is blizzard.com no matter what protocol is used. Only the registrant for blizzard.com (Blizzard) can create a subdomain for blizzard.com (which is what ftp.blizzard.com is). This is how DNS works. It's a hierarchy.

Finally, Blizzard has distributed patches over this URL for forever. I remember downloading Warcraft II patches over it. It was the only way to get them since Battle.net didn't exist yet.

So how do you spoof a digital signature?

Because messing with email headers or adding a bunch of garbage to a URL is the same this as somehow hijacking an entire domain on blizzard.com. Right. Please stop talking before you really hurt someone. Having a single domain deal in multiple protocols is incredibly common and normal.

EDIT: typhoonius is completely correct, except I know that Firefox does support FTP, and Chrome probably does too although I never use it so I'm not sure.

I'm betting the only reason this got dumped on their FTP was because somebody was probably doing remote work, so they're working with the FTP than with their internal sharing tools...

Don't download the link. Anyways non of the launchers work with it so it's a waste and the risk is too high.

When blizzard is ready they'll release it within the game.
