[...]right, was worth a thread since it wasnt patched for like 2 years and few weeks after it got patched you make thread hmm
no you misunderstood it I found a new way to abuse scripts while I was working on a new script system. I use the same method to store and load data per script.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14679&post=252959 Sat, 04 Dec 2010 03:48:05 +0100 Reply by Animal https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14679/page-2/?recent=252959#post=252745 Quoted from XHunter

[...] such as? [...] http://www.whiteandblack.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/bullshit-stamp.jpg This is honestly more sensationalist that Fox news. Quite often when people find out how computers really work and the fact that they aren't nearly as solid and perfect as they had previously thought, they just shit themselves and demand things be done "right", thing is they still don't really understand. Example: That skybox installer batch script I made ages for movie making? I could have quite easily slipped into it some code to make it steal all your firefox browser cookies (due to another security hole in Firefox itself) and potentially got a hold of your steam/bank/paypal/ebay/email usernames and passwords. Even more trivially so If it had been a fully blown program like the PldX recording tool (!!!). Thats not to say "OMG DON'T RUN SCRIPTS OR PROGRAMS EVER!!", its just don't be a fucking spastic and run random things from dodgy websites, following that philosophy even without an anti-virus (which I don't), you will avoid literally 99.9% of all viruses/malware in existence. That remaining 0.1% wouldn't likely have been stopped by an anti-virus anyway. tl;dr congratulations, you've just read something on a random website, stop fear mongering.
Like you said I just wanted to warn people not to run random scripts on their PC. There is no tf2 script virus in existance its all theoretically. The best way to protect your pc from malware is your brain unless you are being attacked by a better H4ckz0r...]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14679&post=252712 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:28:07 +0100 Reply by Will https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14679/page-2/?recent=252959#post=252588 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14679&post=252588 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 07:26:04 +0100 Reply by adam-skyride https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14679/page-1/?recent=252959#post=252575 Quoted from XHunter

With the right addons installed on the server they can even spread themself.

Another reason to use read-only cfgs?! :E
No its just theory it is very hard to harm someone that way. Lets say its easier to get infected by a script virus from a random website via google :P It would take me some time to write and test it. There are much easier ways to get the same result and im not interested in infecting any servers with what ever just for the lulz.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14679&post=252311 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:34:02 +0100 Reply by X Hunter X https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14679/page-1/?recent=252959#post=252309 Quoted from Jarppa

There were several security exploits posted on the steam forums that were even more powerful ... you had no problems with tf2 viruses in the past or did you? so why should this small "exploit" harm you when the powerful ones didnt.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14679&post=252287 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:09:33 +0100 Reply by Avr https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14679/page-1/?recent=252959#post=252286 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14679&post=252286 Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:08:41 +0100
