I would like to make aware of a recent hack floating around that crashes the game lobby for Starcraft: Remastered.
This hack first appeared about 3-4 days ago.
The hacker will join your game with a Korean character based username, and will crash the game for the host. Just recently, this user is crashing lobbies without even showing that he has “joined” the game.
This hack prevents users from hosting public games. Currently, the only way to defend yourself from this hack is to host a passworded game.
This hack is rampant in Korea server and the hacker targets certain maps to be unplayable by crashing every lobby that hosts it.
The hacker will also follow you and crash every game you host.
Call me weird, but I find mysterious/infamous SC hackers like this to be fascinating.
The attack is mostly likely done by a bot, given how fast a victim is found and then immediately crashed. This was easy to do back in the old v1.16.1 days, but doing this in SCR is beyond even my knowledge.
Lets first try to find a motive. How much is known about this person? Has he talked about his attacks (or made threats) inside/outside of the game? Have the map authors did anything to make themselves disliked by the community?
If SCR hacking did not risk getting a perma-ban, then I'd gladly try to fight back. If someone could snatch his IP for me, it would help a lot. As a last resort (if he can't be reasoned with), I can try to nuke his internet... unless he knows how to use a VPN, then I can't do anything *shrug*
Disclaimer: DDOS attacks are evil. I will do such a thing ONLY to scare or counterattack against trolls and hackers in my gaming community.
"It takes far more than a simple ideology to map amazing things. Mapping requires a strong passion for SC as well as an even stronger devotion to your work. Avoid instant gratification. Set directions/goals for the map, and stick to them. Take pride in the work, be patient with it, and never settle for less." -Tiger
Oh_Man shouted: yeah i'm tryin to go through all the greatest hits and get the runs up on youtube so my senile ass can appreciate them more readily
You should do my Delirus map too; it's a little cocky to say but I still think it's actually just a good game lol

Ultraviolet -- Oh wait, no I saw something else. It was more melee style, and guys were doing warpgate shit and morphing lings into banelings (Infested terran graphics)
