That godamn battle net exploit

[GameSnake]

I hate seeing people running rampant banning you in any channel they want, pretending to be a rep, anyon wanna explain the exploit to me on or off air please I am getting close to the truth since befriending Dave (a guy who showed me the exploit) but wont tell anything usefull. k

What Battle.net exploit? Is it the clan bug?

[Ergot]

What exactly do they do? I think it's the Clan bug as well Newby

[GameSnake]

Umm no its the one where a person can replicate a blizzard rep, literally, but they are not seen in the channel as an icon. I get the  general idea its something like intercepting packets with 1 program and sending your own on a bot.

Without knowing the protocal specifications for the client Reps use anything like that would result in disconnect(i.e. not sending packets/sending bad packets).  i think your talking about the clan bug.

Clan bug. :)

[Warrior]

It still exists? What the fuck?
Someone post an example.

[Quik]

They are trying to make you think they are a rep, but only reps will have the icon and @Blizzard. They are gaining ops in your clan channel by creating a clan channel on a non-WarIII client (by sending special packets to Blizzard).

Wasn't this patched? Holy christ blizzard.

The reps use normal clients, AFAIK. The server has a list of reps and if they're on that list their flags are set to 0x02. Or 0x01. Or 0x08. Or whatever it was.

I think I told him. 

When War3 first came out, Spht registered an account called AlanN or something (the name of a Blizzard rep, I forget which).  A day later he logged in with his normal bot or client, and discovered that he had  Blizzard flags.  He took a few screenshots, and there were witnesses, then he surrendered the account to Blizzard.

Actually, you didn't tell me, unless I was stoned off prescription drugs and forgot. I was actually basing that off the way TBNCS works (and the client supporting the flags being given to it), but I guess I forgot to say that.

The name of the Blizzard rep couldn't have been AlanN now could it? :P

How is it the clan bug when you can goto any channel and do as you please?
