Flag Spoofing?

SubLiminaL_WolF · 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

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

8 is Blizzard.

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.

well im not sure but if its a bug wouldnt you think that all the good programmers would have caught it by now? like skywing or c0ke

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

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