[HOPEFULLY EPIC] The HOSTS file scam

[Pterosaur]

WoW.com = WoWinsider.com

Why would we inject into WoWinsider? Roflmaos.

Where are you seeing that.

You are changing it so that their login details are being sent to your private server and being logged instead of going to the WoW EU/US Server >.>

Where WoWInsider comes from is anyones guess O_O

Not epic.

1. Old idea is old.
2. Many antivirus programs detect this.
3. A .bat doesn't give you root premissions.
4. Editing will be blocked by vista's UAC.
5. You want to phish accounts with a private server? Wouldn't it be better to redirect to a phishing site (account login)
6. There are internet cafe's that have wow installed?
7. some more points I forgot while writing...

I know its not FULL epic like other topics.
- Not an old idea, please link thread.
- Ok, most internet cafes where i live dont have it but ok.
- Maybe it doesn't but I though it did if you ran as ADMIN
- Most internet cafes dont use Vista cus its crap
- Most people dont go to an internet cafe to do private account management, they come to play and show off their chars
- Hell yea, thats where the money is.

Most internet café's have programs that'll detect your cute little bat file, but if not... sux to be them ^^"

The idea of editing the hosts file is old. I don't need to link a thread.

To 2&3:

_Case 1: XP
The administration of a good IC (that with wow installed) should know how to block this.
Normal useraccounts are limited.
You can't change the permissions of your useraccount with a single click (or being unnoticed) to set your account to admin.
Running .bat, editing windows files and running specific programs should be blocked.

_Case 2: Vista
You said the most IC's don't have vista, how should you run the .bat as admin then? And don't you think if they ran vista, you wouldn't need a password? Do you know how easy it is to administrate with vista?
And to "dont use Vista cus its crap": You got a mac, you know how crap that is?


To 4: I know that you don't go to an IC to mamage your account, but you'll rarly find one that want's to show characters to someone.
Furthermore: I don't even know if it's possible to phish accounts with a private server with logs or something.

-
tl;dr: Nein du.
You need to find a IC with a stupid team and you should write a guide for setting up a private server for that purpose.

Good idea, will try later today.

Ok now most of that stuff is true, but you can be lucky and find one with the specifications i said earlier, and the reward is GREAT!

Mac is not stupid. They can run XP better than a normal computer can... Get a big hard drive in a Mac Pro and you can literally have 2 full OSes in 1.
Considering you have mac in your name (i know its meant to say madone.)

[killerknugz]

nice + rep

[AntiPaste]

I agree with Venturer, Macs rule (Got a MacBook Pro myself)

On-topic, nice guide, too bad I don't have any IC's around here ;_;
