BF1942 Server Crash New Exploit!

[Grabbi]

the unknown person creating these exploits sells generated keys over his youtube channel website link, comming from Sophia Bulgaria making thousands of euros and flooding the game with new keys.
...but thats another story ( we can provide upon request)

[b]NOW he modified his exploid, with same basic procedure !

EDIT Senshi: Moved the detailed explanation to an internal forum, as it far too easily serves as a How-To. No need to spread until we have a fix.

Any new fixes to this (same extended) exploid would be apprechiated from our side.

PS: tnx again for the last fix !

[Senshi]

I'll move this to a private forum, no need to spread an extensive How-To-Crash here . tuia has told me he already is trying to find a fix for this as well, we will tell you ASAP once we receive a fix . Thank you for telling us about this new possible exploit.

[Grabbi]

thanks, we really apprechiate your efforts!


Best regards

Grabbi

Thank you so much Tuia although i dont know you, you have my respect and gratitude for helping us keep bf42 alive and kickin. It takes alot of dedication and hard work to chase down these new fixes, something your not lacking in. However something we are all not lacking in is the resolve to push these petty hackers aside and keep enjoying bf42 forever! Rock on!

I'm glad to help. About this fix, I can't give too much details now, as this exploit has been used and is being used against vulnerable servers. Basically, I just put a check for valid arguments before the function, which causes the crash, is called. Thanks to Grabbi for pointing out the error message and describing the procedure to apply the exploit. Much respect and thanks to dierighty and all who assisted him, for devising a solution to the first exploit. It was a great work and much harder to plan.

Also I wanted to give a big thanks to you here Tuia,
somehow this hacker is targeting our community for whatever reason
and we all love this older game so much.
Thanks to you we can fight on these WWII battlefields again and enjoy our gameplay!
Tuia, many many thanks for your fast and hard work!!
We all (within the -=PFC=- crew & our whole community) appreciate this very much!

Greetings,
LoonyLau
