Server Exploit, May 6th

[Rogean]

Hi.

(Click for max size).

Jokes on you buddy. Found the packet injection exploit after 10 minutes and fixed it in 30 seconds. All deleted characters get moved to a seperate table with all their data intact, and we will be working on restoring those characters and should have that done within the next hour or so. Yes, even the characters you re-created and deleted, the original still exists. (Come on, we aren't SOE after all).

The server is back up, exploit patched, XP Bonus bumped up to 50%. Enjoy.

Those with characters missing please bare with me about an hour, I will update this post when we are done and then at that point if you are still missing a character you can petition.

P.S. I was enjoying a beer at the office and had to rush home to fix this, I am disappoint.

Update 1: He didn't even deleted my character, wtf? Nilbog and Uthgaard got deletes and I didn't? WHY YOU GOTTA PLAY ME LIKE THAT.

Update 2: Characters are now restored. If you are still missing yours please make a post in the petition forums (http://www.project1999.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25). Thanks!

Thanks Rog. If yer ever in the bay I'll buy you a beer !

[Dantes]

Fuckin a! Way to kick some ass. I'm sorry I ever said anything about a rollback, I guess I underestimated your 1337 skillz.

[Lazortag]

"Level 50's"? That's soooo last month.

[Piance]

Nice work Rogean.
When I started reading I was getting so scared my chars would be gone.

Then I read your response of pure pwnage!

Keep up the good work!

[Elian]

[tj218]

Everyone should donate to help Rogean buy some beers :)

[Beef]

[baalzy]

Recreated and deleted again? I wanna know who he did this to, cause obviously those people are trolls of a whole new level to deserve the double-delete.

[Odeseus]

The fact that Rogean is a complete badass is probably one of the top reasons I play p99 instead of any other game. Keep up the amazing work :cool:

[Eccezan]

So the hacker forgot to Empty the Recycle Bin? nub.

[Amelinda]

Recreated and deleted again? I wanna know who he did this to, cause obviously those people are trolls of a whole new level to deserve the double-delete.

If I had to guess I'd say probably staff and anyone he had some mad hate for.

[Shiftin]

Something I just thought of. The guy hacked and deleted what, a couple dozen chars max? Compare that to the thousands and thousands of characters that are still stored in the database. Of all the hackers that have ever succeeded in getting in and screwing things up, this may have been one of the least effective ones in terms of impact.

[Loud]

So good.

It's always odd hearing the term 'hacker' used in the sense of 'cracker', I have termed myself a hacker before in conversation and often get mixed facial responses. /discuss

Definitions truncated:

hacker /n./
1. A person who enjoys exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary.

cracker /n./
One who breaks security on a system. Coined ca. 1985 by hackers in defense against journalistic misuse of hacker.

Irrelevant unfortunately, the media has made both terms synonymous. That's where white hat, black hat, grey hat came from. The need to distinguish between different types of hackers.

[Ihealyou]

Who is NA?

Narcotics Anonymous, probably. Also, gratz Aspen!

Love you. hahaha too funny.

WTF did I do? I haven't even played since like October. I don't even know that guy.

[Dannermax]

Havent read all the posts, but hope that our characters are backed up periodically.. Well after this insidence, and Rogeans fast response, i will *snip* even more often.. And make a donation when i have discussed it with the GM at home.. Sigh!! Love you Rogean :-)

[twistidmetal]

WTF did I do? I haven't even played since like October. I don't even know that guy.

The obvious reason is that your name is a reference to penis size and that hits him personally. Gotta have a small wang to go emo and hack a free eq server.

[Striiker]

Great job!

[Ennoia]

Everyone should buy Rogean a gift certificate to the Brewmaster's Tavern in Northampton, Massachusetts for leaving work to fix this.

Edit: The world wants to know...what kind of beer were you drinking?

I think the fact that someone got so upset they did a vendetta hack is pretty hilarious. I guess people were so upset they were ddosing the server too....

Giant babies make for a good lol

Nice work Rog.

Never interrupt a man having his beer !!! Get him Rogean.

[randal.flagg]

What characters does abyss play?

[Greyhands]

Good jobs guys thanks for all the great things you do keeping this server going.

[BuzWeaver]

What a relief, since my characters are number 413, 427 and 439 I was safe.

[Innate]

lmao /facepalm fail hacks make me lulz

[Rogean]

Edit: The world wants to know...what kind of beer were you drinking?

Coors Light. Sometimes Budweiser, but it's my boss's choice.

[Haul]

Coors Light. Sometimes Budweiser, but it's my boss's choice.

I support this.

[Shizzam]

its pretty bad when you hack an emulated server with less than a 1000 (average) population just because you have beef with the admins. Play the game, enjoy the game, and be grateful that this server is available. Rogean probably doesnt like you because you are a dickweed.

[Trapp]

Thumbs up Rogean!

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

You all know that it was NOT really SEAL Team 6 that took out Bin Laden.. It was Rogean, Nilbog and the rest of the P99 Dev/GM team!!!!

Thanks Rog. If yer ever in the bay I'll buy you a beer !

Pretty sure he doesn't want a beer from you.

Heh I just drove through Northampton, MA. on I-91 last night, I could've delivered it :)

Rogean, you are the man. Gonna have to make another donation.

[Rogean]

lol Northampton is a drive for me. I'm in the Brockton/Bridgewater area, so closer to the cape.

To the hacker... you sir, fail.

Abyss was not cool peoples


I am cool peoples

[Orov]

Shit's hilarious. Sucks for the people who got deleted but at least Rogean is a pretty cool dude who fixes hacks and doesn't afraid of anything.

[Dojii]

Abyss is a straight crying whiny baby bitch who got stomped all over on VZTZ.

Bahahaha "go emo and hack a free eq server" I literally laughed out loud on that one. Great job Rogean. I think it warrants a new noob mob named abyss in the cities.

This is the most epic thing I've read in quite some time. Thanks for not only being awesome, but kicking the trolls to the curb with authority. Rock on...
