Hackers gone to scamming people out of their CD keys now?

[Yeni 53]

So, since they are banned, they started scamming people out of CD keys? Seems stupid, and pathetic. I find it amusing how some people fall for it.

[FaceAche 69]

Yeah véry amusing.

How are they scamming a CD key? Even if they got it, isn't it already tied to their account?

you dont need a cd key, actually server hosts can see people's guid. different cd key is assigned a guid so hackers can just host a server and get a list of guid, then just inject the guid with an injector and you get to play another person's character. you do need to be a server host with access to the server logs though.

^ that sounds very unlikely, do you have a source for that?

dat dere injection within an injection

yes but if i post it here ill get banned

also if you log in the same time as the other person they can see you controlling their character.

basically if a hacker has access to a server with server logs he can just keep hacking and the owner of said guid handles the consequences from battleye.

PM me please, I find that very hard to believe, I know arma has bad security but that is too much

sent with link

Seriously if this is the case the mod and the whole arma series is fucked...

I'm sure if it is the case there will be alot of people working to close it so you cant do such things..

(edited link out)

basically this but instead of seaching for the key from the registry you input the guid directly with an injector. the "undetected" injector is however detected but that doesnt stop people from modifying or create their own custom injector.

basically the steps to a hijack

-host a server

-check up server logs and look for guid looking like (c8 0c 78 65 .. .. ..) if you use a key replacer you can actually see the guid in hex change in your registry for example when you test it with another key.

-use a custom injector

-when the game is opened you search for your own guid and it will look like (c8 0c 78 65 .. .. ..) and then replace it with the ones you see and going to hijack on a server log.

-once replaced you join a game and you will log in as the person you hijacked.

if the person is logged on and playing it will look like this to him

I had a look at the link you sent me, nobody could confirm it worked and people were trying thousands of GUID's (converted to hex) with no luck, a couple managed to get in game for five minutes before being kicked for having an invalid GUID. Towards the end of the thread they started trying to generate keys instead and had very little luck with that either. I'm not too concerned.
