Message to all hackers from the past, 10 years ago

[dlablo]

(Sorry if im posting in the wrong section, if so move it but dont delete pls)

So i played wow for 12 years. I am person with 0 real life. And to me, having exploit exploit from the type of duping items, infinite gold, damage - means the world to me. If i get my hands on such exploit, that would be feeling that i can't compare to anything in this world. For me that's better than being celberty/bilionaire in real life.

I abandoned real life long time ago. Over the years my way of thinking changed so much. I stop value material things, i start value virtual things. Recently i started playing with memory editing in all kinds of ways. I made couple of good bots and other helpers that are based on memory reading. I even made a bot like honorbuddy(a* pathfinding +), a bot that will carry u to the max level with 1 click. But nothing i ever did is as useful as finding a serious exploit. Most of my programs are memory reading based, and staying out of process.

What i recently did was a packet logger that can record the outgoing packets. Then i can later resend them, modify them, send custom packet directly to the server, make list with multiple packets(send a collection of packets at once), set timer on multiple packets and send each one after another with interval configured. I can even cast all existing spells in the game within couple of minutes by overspaming the server with spell packets(yet nothing that was outside my spellbool was being casted). I consider this my best tool by now, but it has no use. I tried to hack the game in every way. I tried so many methods to dupe items, quest swap, stack stats and many other stuff just by playing with the packets. Also being web developer, attempted SQL injection ROFL.... that was my worst attempt to hack wow.

If what i did in the past months, was done in 2010. I would have lived out my dream. But now, 2022... 12 years later im browsing the internet to see 10 year old exploits fixed. No matter what i do, sometimes it feels like the server is more strict than the client itself. I know there are people in the past who achieved what im trying to achieve right now, the fact that they didn't share it public doesn't mean they havent done it. I got few words to share with these people.

Once in 2010 there was a house full of exploits. That house was beautiful, and only smart people can get inside it, smart people who used to play with packets like me. Their knowledge is the key to that house. Those were people thinking outside the box, and they used to have the motivation that i currently have. As the years were passing, the private servers started to fix exploit by exploit, and that beautiful house was falling apart peace by peace. Now here i am, in a pathetic way to hack the game i attempt to do stuff that someone else did 10 years ago. I went to that house that were once full of exploits, and i'm happy to have the knowledge that i have now! I'm fully ready to dig for exploits as much as i can! But wait... as i finally entered that beautiful house, i saw that there is almost nothing left there. There is no house, only ruins. IT"S SO SAD................. i finally arived, i finally leveled up to the level which those hackers were 10 years ago, and im able to do what they did. And for what? Just to find ruins. ITS SO SAD. I arrive there alone digging trough the ruins in hope to find something, and i find NOTHING. I'm bursting with motivation, and for that i made so useful programs. But every time i see server sided protection... for me that feels worse than being shot by a gun. I went trough many sleepless nights digging and digging, and the more i see how my programs work, the more i get motivated.

I want to say to all people on this forum, old members who achieved what i'm trying to achieve. I hope you valued what you had, because there are people who are just dying to get the exploits that you had, people like me. You were living someone else's dream, especially someone who has 0 real life(me). This is something that happens once in a lifetime, you gotta catch the train when it arrives because it will never come again. I just had emotional attack in my brain thats why i decided to go for this post. Well, maybe i should just try to relax, and let it go. I missed the train long time ago. I can't give up on this game, and knowing that i'm playing without the possibility to exploit is just killing me. Thats a burden that i have to carry, and feels heavy. No one knows what kind of mental torment lies behind this post. Congrats to all people who achieved what i didnt.

i am way to high right now from post op drugs to read this. but from what i read here is my simple response.
There is always exploiting that can be done. since one thing is fixed does not mean it did not open 100 more things.
move away from WoW anyways. its dead in the gaming world TBH. make bots for new or up coming games. bots are more impactful than any hack that has ever been or will be in the long end.
yeah you may be able to dupe for a few weeks... who cares if you can run 100 bots and control the markets.
stick to botting and maybe even sell out licenses to it if you want. or keep it private, make a shop for 100 different games and make good money.

GL and have fun, its just a game btw.

Dude there's a ton of exploits out there, they just are not the same as twelve years ago.

Sry, can u send those via private message ? I'm not a retail player, i mostly go on private servers because i dont want to level up every time there is a new expansion. I actually gave it up, but one of those vids might bring small light to the dark cave in which i am located.

Yea but im talking about serious exploits, not just something like eating while walking lol...

[Razzue]

I feel this. I wish I had been around and active when Cypher and Apoc were around, but alas, I joined the wow hacking scene a bit too late Feel like I could have learned quite a bit from those two alone, but now I'm stuck reading decade old posts while trying to hack through things myself

10 years were more than enough time for the devs of private servers to fix everything important. That's why i made bots. Botting seems to be the only way to abuse very efficiently. But then those rat players can report you. Both from experience in real life and virtual life i realized one thing. No matter how hard you are trying to achieve something in this life, you are allways being pushed back for some reason. The people who truely value given things in life, they don't get them. Instead, those things were given to unthankful people, or just people who don't deserve those things.

As the best example, i will mention Monster-WoW. That's the server in which i played 10 years, in the end it got shutdown by Blizzard. So, my nick name diablo originated from this server, i am the most loyal player the server ever had. And even years after the server being shutdown, i make youtube videos about it to pay my respect to the server. Durring the time the server was alive, there was a godlike exploit there. Stack your char's stats infinitely. That was the best exploit ever! Whoever abused it, he lived out my dream. But i know the ones who abused it, they are the same ones who were blaming the server for it was "the worst server ever". Yet, those unthankful people got their hands on this exploit before me. I.. who was the most loyal player, thankful for what i have, thankful for finding this server - did not find this exploit. Instead the exploit went to the unthankful people who blame the server to this day.

Its allways like that in real life. Someone who doesn't deserve, gets the thing that you deserve.

LOL, the item dupe didn't impress me as much as the tele on map click LOL. This is genious. Please hide ur vids again! I have no words, doing such stuff on retail... im just out of words. You definately lived out my dream.

Nor is Blizzard, I have PTSD.

I know what you were talking about.

Exploiting wow has definitely became more of a challenge, but that goes w/o saying. The game is really old and battle tested, because of this it will be difficult for the average person who isn't in the loop on what was and is possible on both retail and private server. Even people who are well experienced in exploiting, reversing, and understand basic server-side programming logic flaws won't have an easy time finding exploits.

On the flip side, I have found several dupes within 2021 - present for retail. Ability to generate stackable items, unlimited gold, even duplicate pointers yet again... Besides dupes, there has been a huge amount of ridiculous stuff found like controlling npcs, crashing servers, instantly killing bosses. It is still going on even today, these crazy exploits are definitely out there but you just have to find it. Most of it requires packet manipulation and a lot of time invested. If you're attacking the server w/o using tools you're extremely limited but believe it or not, some of the exploits I listed requires no tools lol..

I can understand your discontent, but trust me when I say there is thousands of game-breaking exploits still out there waiting to be found. WoW is kind of dead now, so I would focus your time on new games with new content since it may be less probed. Good luck to you, we all start somewhere
