Title: Flag Spoofing?
Post by: SubLiminaL_WolF on May 07, 2003, 11:30 PM
 :owhen i seen a dude come in the channel with a flag of 666 i was concrned and asked him cuz most people have a flag of 0 and then he sayd he spoofed it. Im not sure but i dont think you can spoof a flag because if we could then we can be a blizz rep or a special guest or in the kbk please give some comments :P

Well, flag 666 would be 2 | 8 | 10 | 80 | 200.. what would that be, maybe it's possible with the right combination of allowed stuff :)

Ok, you ruled out the least probable possibility in my list. The rest still stand, especially the first two.

Edit: Here are the possibilities, sorted from most probable to least probable:

  • Either you or your bot misread the ping as flags. It is not difficult to spoof 666ms ping.
  • Either you or your bot is lying.
  • You saw this user on a Battle.net emulation server, not on the real Battle.net.
  • The person exploited a bug in your bot that lets him change his flags variable in your bot.
  • Someone in Blizzard was having fun.
  • The person found a bug in Battle.net that lets him change his flags.

I think that 3 and 4 should be switched (Counting the top as 1.  Or the bottom as 1.  It don't matter)
