Physician recommended I do this, so here goes.
I need 4 volunteers.
I don't trust BWL, yesterday i spoke to Ashur and he was heading for some LAN party. I had some spare time and ended up writing a strong anti hack, and much stronger than penguin plug.
In addition unlike bwl it wont crash your CD. To be short pp as u know uses a dll file .spl or some other extension and injects it into starcraft.exe preventing other dll injection. The tltour anti hack design is completely different as it monitors the windows cache directly. What it does is something I do not wish to discuss.
I wanted to include a non CD launcher but it was illegal, after consulting with Physician decided not to implement it.
The only thing worrying me right now is the way its scanning the memory constantly. It works great for pentium 3 , 4 etc but if you have a pentium 2 its a bonus.
If you can come some time Saturday, 14:01 EST @ op tl-west that would be awesome.

T_T Busy during that time (sleeping ) but if I manage to stay awake during that time I'll try to come on.

I want to be more elaborate. Basically the program is doing a lot of heavy scanning. It is tuned at a level where pentium 3s and above should not have a problem. I safely assumed all machines were using pentium 3 and above , Physician says no. So the scanning has to be tuned down just enough for the right number of scans where you feel it is "ok"
For those who are using Pentium 2s for your bw, this is bascially for you.
The testers have to be secret and maintain absolute silence after testing phase. In addition i want to make sure this works against all map hack programs out there. Disc is set to a loss in tltour.
If there are any hacks i have missed which you might think has potential to be a threat, other than ones listed above please list them.

I use a Pentium III 500 MHz, 384MB RAM. It is scraping the very bottom of the Pentium III barrel, and is as old as Starcraft itself.
However, 14:01 EST tomorrow (which is what I assume you meant) might not work for me. Let me know when you guys are free if you want to use my computer for some testing.

ill help you test... are you only testing against oblivion and inhale? Pm me

I realize that you are not in this for the wrong reasons, but don't you realize that you are creating a huge security threat yourself?
Do you think a lot of users will not care that you are accessing all their memory? I don't know just a couple question I have.

Well I'm not that worried about it and I figured that would be the assumption that everyone would play under...
I don't know I just always here stuff about software security and I was just curious how he could promise that his software wont' be running through our cache looking for stored credit card info or such.

if injecting dll files (penguin plug) is not a security risk this is not either. or are you telling me you never used bwl made by some cze guy from europe ? anyhow more thing is it is only reading info off of windows cache, not writing anything to it. there is no security risk. it is not opening port listeners as part of the anti hack system itself. it is something off of a design very similar to Warden. if you do not want to use the anti hack we cannot let you play in the tour, i.e. the launcher will not operate without detection of our anti hack. it's a harsh procedure but it will keep the abusers in check. also i mentioned earlier disc is a loss.
i think the level of excuse you are making is perhaps not necessary. www.adsc.com our software we use that operate over 90% U.S hospitals. shuhab@adsc.com is my email - I have better things to do than trying to take your credit card being a full time software engineer. If you don't want to use the anti-hack don't play in the tour.

i have no quams about it so if i'm there, i'm down

yes, but if anyone thinks there are other hacks we can always hash the dll files for check. do you know any other working hacks ?

Talking about hacks, have a read, I found a post from 9 years ago about how hacking was going to kill Battle.net's ladder - and here we are, with a dead battle.net ladder but still fending for ourselves..

"As of April 3rd, 2007, over 12,000 different users have downloaded Oblivion."-taken from bwhacks

hopefully everything works out! gl qi.tiger =D

haha; so it's not that they didn't want to use a hack, it's that they didn't know where to find it

I can help, if you need me, PM me.

i had no idea hackiking was so blatant ( as seen in the link youj provided)

omg I cant wait till this ladder is released!

Here are my old laptop stats:
mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ 1.79 GHz, 448 MB of RAM (meaning a crappy integrated graphics card)
Plus you get the added benefit of testing the latency of a satellite connection user in Cuba :-P
Just let me know and I'm more than willing to help.
