Im sure a lot of you already know about the program released that can bring down Halo servers just by hitting enter...well I'd hate to see Halo die that way. Me and some friends decided to petition and give it to gearbox and/or bungie to see if they'd do anything about it. Please sign http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/halo1patch If it doesn't do anything, then well big deal. But if it does then you'll be one of the people that helped revive a game. Thx, have a nice day.
EDIT: It asks for a donation after you sign, you can close the window when it comes to that, the signature has already been recorded.

correct, this game is finished... as i said on gbx, this is the final nail in the coffin.

An official patch is unlikely.. sigh. I tried to fix this bug myself and found a workaround. It seems to be stable against attacks and keeps the server functional. I'm going to test it some more today and make the code a bit better (I still have exams tomorrow too :/ .. so I don't know if have enough time today).

Anyway we can fix this ourselves if needed (hopefully). But then game servers will need to accept this "3rd party patch" ..

if its just modifying haloded.exe, all wed need to do is upload the new "fixed" exe onto the gameservers ftp.

So 1.07 servers can now be crashed?

[Jelly]

Yes. I wish I understood Halo and Haloded so I understood the source of this.

Yeah we should all move to ce 1.0 now

Apparently:

I wouldn't suggest doing this at all. Nuclearfallout has already began taking action by prosecuting the "children" who are as they put "interrupting our business" with lawsuits of $1000s and Legal Fees. The vulnerability makes the cpu 100% causing all other games hosted to crash. Which causes massive cash loss to them.

Freewebs has already disclosed the owners of a site that details how to do this, and two people are now facing jail time.

Furthermore, it has been released that the file also contains a very expertly embedded key logger and leecher. If you have this he probably now has all your information.

When this file is used it doesn't mask anything about you. It was not made to. It sends malformed packets that come from your connection that link you to the server that they are using to trace the people who are responsible for the attacks.

I saw this same thread on the Bnet "Maw" forums. And they gave those exactly same answers.
Too bad :´(
