I really disagree with that so lets talk about this.

First of all you do not have any source code to work with. Even if you had the most you could do would be to find some buffer overflows.

Now to hack me you would have to crack my password. My password in this system is protected by 2048 bits RSA encryption. To give you an idea what it takes to break an RSA 1620 bit key, you would need a computer with 120 Terabytes of memory before you can even think about attempting it and the memory requirement virtually rules out massively distributed cracking methods.

Now as you can see cracking the passwd is simply put not possible for you. The last possibility would be a trojan. That is also impossible. This particular aacount does not have rights to install anything. Now in order to install you would have to crack the administrative account and that account is encrypted which means you can not crack it.

Just for the sake of discussion lets suppose it would be encrypted with lets say just 128 bit RC5 encryption. Let's also suppose that you write a virus that uses dreaded massively distributed cracking brute force method. Let's suppose you get 1 million computers infected with your virus. Now that entire army is unleashed on that little 128 bit RC5 encryption. Wait let's give you 4,3 billion computers to use in your attack. This means that it would be 4.3 billion or 2 to the 32 times faster than a single computer.

YOUR ARGUMENT WAS THAT I DONT REALISE HOW FAST COMPUTERS CALCULATE. Now I am going to reply to this by saying that you obviosly do not know a lot about encryption algorythms.

Anyway this means we could simply take 2 to the 128 combinations for 128-bit encryption and divide it by 2 to the 32 which means that 2 to the 96 bits are left. With 96 bits left, it?s still 4.3 billion times stronger than 64 bit encryption. 64 bit encryption happens to be the world record for the biggest RC5 bit key cracked in 2002 which took nearly 5 years to achieve for a massive distributed attack.

So 64 bit RC5 key was cracked in 2002 after 5 years of continuous massive distributed attack. Now the key we are using is 128 bit which is VERY LITTLE KEY. Now although it is little it is 4.3 billion times stronger than the 64 bit key which took 5 years to break with massive distriputed attack.

Now really Ray what excatly can you do with your SINGLE computer?

We are not even talking about relatively weak 128 bit RC5 encryption. We are talking about 2048 bit RSA encryption. Simply put Ray breaking the 2048 bit RSA encruption is not possible at the moment with current computer technology in any realistic mean whatsoever.

Now I am going to repeat what I said to you: You do not have resources or knowledge to hack me.

Also to hack this game you would have to be very familiar with Java. Since this is server sided game changing the client would do very little.

You are propably a guy who makes "hacks" for computer games. Well that is really not hacking at all. Making macros and scripts to computer games in order to cheat has nothing to do with hacking at all. In fact making macros and scripts has very little to do with any hacking. Basically that is kid's stuff. Also using programs and scripts made by other people such as backoffice by Cult of Dead Cow makes a person just a script kiddie not a hacker.

Hacking computer games is somewhat possible due to programmers not having to care about computer security when it comes to games. They are even not allowed to due to it delaying games too much. They do care to a degree but that's all. It is not easy but much easier than hacking actual systems.

Now to actually hack a game would mean you would have to gains right and access to spawn items etc. To just change some skins in your own client etc. is not hacking. Doing some scripts. macroes whatever in order to automate some actions is also not hacking. In order to really hack a game like mmoprg you would have to gain access to spawn items like I wrote etc. Usually those parts of the game are server sided and encrypted which means you Ray are not going to hack that.

Now I suppose you and other script kiddies are even having troubles with cheating on multiplayer games with scripts and macros due to game companies staring to use simple algorythms to detect all your scripts and macros.
