BNLS Question

[Soul Taker]

I've heard of security breaches, but they were by good-willed people and no information was stolen, and the holes were fixed.

[Grok]

In the BNLS service application?

[Soul Taker]

Yea, I recall UL found a buffer overflow that let him see people's information, I assume it was information currently being processed.

[UserLoser.]

Yes, this is true and I reported it right to Skywing & IIRC Kp at the time it happened.  I don't think I will go into details though

[Kp]

It wasn't a buffer overflow.  UserLoser broke protocol and the server happened to try to answer him instead of just killing the connection on principle.  The disclosure was fixed very quickly, and I think BNLS now kills connections which violate protocol in that way.

[UserLoser.]

Er, didn't see his post about the buffer overflow.  Yeah it wasn't a buffer overflow, I just did something when you were not supposed to and it let me...like Kp said
