2:38 PM] IronHorse: Did you write it or?
[2:42 PM] eth0nic: Yes, I am sorry. NS2 was always my favorite game and I was stupid enough to spend a few days reverse engineering it. Sent you the source.
[2:42 PM] IronHorse: Thanks
[2:44 PM] IronHorse: Do you know how many are using it?
[2:44 PM] eth0nic: I have no idea but it will stop working as soon as you release 327.
[2:46 PM] IronHorse: That's what it sounds like, according to the programmers but good to see it anyways
[2:46 PM] IronHorse: I've forwarded the source to the entire team, so we'll see
[2:47 PM] eth0nic: Thank you and I am sorry. It was stupid ... I lost my whole family and ns2 was my only distraction. I hope you sold a few extra copies at least.
[2:48 PM] IronHorse: It happens. I appreciate those who make a mends or attempt to rectify it and help, more than I am upset when they do it. In fact I even understand why some do it. It's a challenge. But there's a reason I reward those with DLC who find exploits too :wink:
[2:49 PM] IronHorse: My condolences regarding your family
[2:50 PM] eth0nic: Yes, it was all about the challenge ... but releasing it was just an ego thing and totally not my nature. No worries, I found new friends and a new partner. Thx though! And thank you for your understanding.
[2:50 PM] IronHorse: If you ever find any security holes in the future, and feel like sharing them before publicizing them, feel free to drop me a line
[2:51 PM] IronHorse: Door is always open
[2:51 PM] eth0nic: Thank you. Was afraid I would face lawyers and what not. Will do when I check out the 327 patch and find something. :smiley:
[2:54 PM] IronHorse: Nahh.. That's never worth it. It's a war of escalation, and its best won by embracing those who find vulnerabilities and rewarding them, rather than punishing.
