HACKING

Guest

In regards to recent events, I'm copying and pasting this particular POST:

"I am an avid Basiler and do A LOT of Trading, so naturally i went on a hunt to investigate this situation. I have posted this Topic on about 5 sites (including Maple-Radio) and ...Nobody has heard of this Shocked

I seriously doubt that someone could get your personal info just from Trading and this is why i am posting this. Trading is an integral part of MS and we dont need to be in fear of trading other people.

Anyway, here's what i found:
* If someone DID design a way to do this, the person probably wouldn't need to trade you to do it. It would be really advanced hacking, and be a million times more trouble than it's worth. There is just the packet editing thing that lets the hacker automatically accept the trade (so you 'show' any item and it gets traded without you clicking trade).
** Edititing packets would result in a nice IP ban Nexon keeps record of where the information is coming from blocking your STATIC IP from maple!) ...packet editing is editing the data that you send to the server, so its like tricking/changing the info that you send into the server.
*** Anyway packets are encrypted and there won't be any packets to alter for this so called "Trade Hacking" because its on the server, not on the client.
**** It cannot exist just for the mere fact that trading takes part on the server not on the client. Getting your account info from a trade is like getting STD's just by "talking" to someone over the phone affraid

***** ....in other words, Don't worry about trade hacks. You have about the same chance that a truck will run you over while you're in your house playing maple.
****** Trade hacking is near impossible because you are forcing the nexon servers to receive packets that confuse it into thinking that it is the victim's confirmation. But like I said before, some one who can accomplish this wouldn't waste their time on a game like maple.
******* in order for a trade hack to happen youd have to server hack which is against the law, also your job would have to be hacking to be that good at it
******** Another replier wrote this:
Let me give you a basic packet editing scenario:

You --> Packet ID#1231825324 says this 10% will work like a 100%
Server --> I say that I'M in charge of the scrolls, and that you suck.
You've been dropped from the server.

You --> Packet ID#96394653 says the other guy accepted trade
Server --> I say he didn't, and that you suck even more.
You've been dropped from the server

You --> Packet #2932469 says I just gained 1000000000 mesos
Server --> Last monster killed: snail. STOP TRYING TO MESS WITH MY PACKETS.
You've been dropped from the server.

It also seems that this type of advanced hack (if it truely exists) would take at least about a half hour to gain all the info and as much as up to a week LOL"

Personally, the ONLY way I know how to get hacked is by freely giving out your acc't info to people (which is a definite no-no).
The other main hacking possibility is through keyloggers if you download programs that key log you, like most hacking tools, or meso farming sites.

Respectfully,

This post is to let people know that: IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE for others to gain your personal account info by open trade. Please read the whole post carefully and judge for yourself. The reasons listed here are very detailed, and I believe Jeremy has done a very thorough research on this.
