Juicy drama

Prefix, I'm hoping one of the forum mods chooses to lock this. I don't want this to be a big dramatic thing, I'm simply posting this to close things up.


tl;dr: I've quit FS, and at this time I don't plan on be around the UrT community anymore.

I've extensively enjoyed the past few years I've been around all this, but I'm at a point in my life where I don't feel comfortable putting my personal life on the line too attacks against both FS and myself. This combined with a greater feeling of "going in a different direction than fs", and the realisation of how malicious the community (or even separate members of it) can be, pushed me to the choice. If your interested in a full explanation on the incident over the past few days, along with my choices to leave FS, I've created a post on the reddit (http://www.reddit.co.../why_i_quit_fs/). I'd like to note that was written within the bounds of my NDA w/ FS, so it's not entirely complete.

GG, GL HF ladies!

Finally, we received notification from another member that they had received an email with the source code. After I personally downloaded and confirmed (in an isolated VM) that this was our source, I immediately alerted the rest of the members of the team, and applied strict +m on #urbanterror. After this, a user spammed the same link to our source code (bundled as a tar.gz) in multiple UrT channels, along with a private message that was sent to myself. After locking down the box I use for IRC at the suspicion of a rooted box, i spent about an hour narrowing down the leaked log to an Nginx misconfiguration that allowed URL paths to be exploited, gaining access to private PM logs. This is the same exploit that was used almost two months ago by "dondon", when he made a malicious attempt to get me kicked out of FS. I'm not speculating what that means, these are simply facts I've confirmed through investigation.


cool story bro.

want me to post logs? you are obviously complicit in this and shame on fs for failing to keep a handle on their source. ggs

If there was anything more posted, I didn’t catch it. There’s no Google cache.

What I mean is that the attribute of knowledge is that only knew know it can be stolen, because that attribute is taken from you.
So its not only privacy that has been breached.

It's perhaps one's privacy that's stolen, not the information. The information is merely backed-up against being lost to mankind, and for free on top of that.

Also, technically something like the electrical energy used to power the servers may have been stolen.

If someone "steals the technology" and steals the market, it's because someone found a way to market it cheaper, not because they imitated/copied the technology. Plagiarism is possibly (but not necessarily) immoral, but theft=/=plagiarism (or copy). In this case the market share was stolen, not the technology, unless the technology is no longer available to the original owner.

And on a separate note, seems like the fates don't like 4.2.

The plot thickens!

Aug 18 23:29:39 <H0i> not that simple
Aug 18 23:29:40 <[FU]c0ke> when is fs going to own up to the major fuckup of recruiting binarythief?
Aug 18 23:30:07 <H0i> guys
Aug 18 23:30:21 <H0i> maybe chill out and give us some time to write the appropriate news articles
Aug 18 23:30:29 <RaideR> therre is alot to right
Aug 18 23:30:31 <RaideR> trust me
Aug 18 23:30:32 <RaideR> lol
Aug 18 23:30:55 <Primee> Evening raedwulf
Aug 18 23:30:57 <Primee> Oops :o
Aug 18 23:30:57 <Primee> RaideR
Aug 18 23:31:03 <RaideR> evening
Aug 18 23:31:09 <Primee> How goes the manhunt?
Aug 18 23:31:58 <RaideR> what man hunt ?
Aug 18 23:31:59 <ButterdBread> <H0i> maybe chill out and give us some time to write the appropriate news articles
Aug 18 23:32:00 <ButterdBread> hehe
Aug 18 23:32:12 <Primee> You know exactly what i mean RaideR :P
Aug 18 23:32:17 <Primee> how long is it before you tell everyone binary did it?
Aug 18 23:32:21 <Primee> and you made a major fuckup :)?
Aug 18 23:32:27 <VS-rkq`> prime :9
Aug 18 23:32:30 <VS-rkq`> :]*
Aug 18 23:32:30 <RaideR> i see
Aug 18 23:32:32 <Primee> heya VS-rkq``
Aug 18 23:33:16 <Primee> I hate to be blunt, but its true is it not?
Aug 18 23:33:25 <RaideR> You mean the mistake to trust someone, we all done that before and probably wont be the last
Aug 18 23:33:40 <RaideR> but sure if you like
Aug 18 23:33:44 <RaideR> i will take the blame np
Aug 18 23:33:45 <Primee> Of course
Aug 18 23:33:52 <RaideR> yyou point is what ?
Aug 18 23:33:53 <Primee> but im just saying
Aug 18 23:33:56 <Primee> no need to drag it out
Aug 18 23:34:01 <Primee> Binary did it :) Its that simple
Aug 18 23:34:29 <H0i> the uploaded source pack
Aug 18 23:34:32 <Primee> I mean ive been blamed for it enough already :)
Aug 18 23:34:38 <H0i> actually contained his name in about a billion times
Aug 18 23:34:59 <[FU]c0ke> but why did he do that
Aug 18 23:35:01 <H0i> in project files, as the one who compiled it
Aug 18 23:35:05 <Primee> Simple
Aug 18 23:35:12 <H0i> I'm sure people can make their own conclusions from that
Aug 18 23:35:14 <Primee> Binary joined FS
Aug 18 23:35:20 <Primee> with the reasoning
Aug 18 23:35:34 <Primee> "I want to try to make a difference, but i hope that they have a trick up their sleeve to make urt better"
Aug 18 23:35:39 <Primee> After some time he realised he had no hope
Aug 18 23:35:41 <Primee> his words
Aug 18 23:35:42 <Primee> Not mine
Aug 18 23:35:45 <Primee> And thus he left FS
Aug 18 23:35:46 <RaideR> do you have a point primee ?
Aug 18 23:35:57 <RaideR> other than the obviouse ?
Aug 18 23:36:23 <Primee> I just like being a cunt RaideR
Aug 18 23:36:24 <Primee> :P
Aug 18 23:36:29 <RaideR> that much i agree with
Aug 18 23:36:33 <H0i> some people also like to twist the truth in public statements
Aug 18 23:36:40 <H0i> so keep that in min
Aug 18 23:36:42 <H0i> mind
Aug 18 23:36:47 <[FU]c0ke> i hope you guys pick your members more carefully next time
Aug 18 23:36:47 <RaideR> so at least we are on the same page!
Aug 18 23:36:55 <Primee> Simple solution RaideR
Aug 18 23:36:57 <Primee> Recruit me to FS
Aug 18 23:36:59 <Primee> Problem solved

Aug 18 23:39:00 <Primee> Why not do it again?
Aug 18 23:39:02 <RaideR> you want me to choose for you ?
Aug 18 23:39:08 <NotJake> YES

Aug 18 23:41:59 <Primee> I told you, im not making that choice for you :P
Aug 18 23:42:04 <Primee> you made all my choices in the past
Aug 18 23:42:10 <Primee> And you're more than capable of doing so now
Aug 18 23:42:22 <RaideR> awww and there i was thinking you grew up
Aug 18 23:42:34 <[b00bs]RAW-mEAT> well you both should grow a little.
Aug 18 23:42:44 <Pterodactyl> I want to move to London, but I understand the rent is high in the Sharia controlled zones

Aug 18 23:43:41 <FrankieV> Naw we will keep you around for the entertainment value. If we can get you a nice fez and a cup who knows maybe we can make a few bucks

[JRandomNoob]

So it’s indeed official — see B1nary’s account on urtinfo (note the tasteful defacing).

[JRandomNoob]

It seems that B1naryth1ef’s actions forced FS to take action and roll out their anticheat (if this indeed is what he was talking about in his Reddit post). FS has posted the first batch of 148 auth accounts caught by the AC during the past few months.

Sometime in the near future, FS should post another news item describing the incident in more detail.

[JRandomNoob]

(SkaPunk is among the banned.)

Aug 19 03:57:55 <SkaPunk> Guys, your codes get stolen and one night later you announce a big bunch of allegedly cheaters. I call it a unlikely staged farce, you just used the worst timing for announcing random bans. But go on, UrT will be great they said. Just ban the guys that never complained about mistakes bugs and waiting times, it will be great they said.
Aug 19 03:58:03 <Mars_> hahahahaha
Aug 19 03:58:19 <H0i> we announced the bans now
Aug 19 03:58:23 <H0i> because after the code was leaked
Aug 19 03:58:26 <akai_> SkaPunk easier to hide a hack if you make urself small
Aug 19 03:58:31 <H0i> the anticheat devs knew there was an anticheat
Aug 19 03:58:35 <H0i> so detection would be worthless
Aug 19 03:58:42 <H0i> otherwise we would have waited longer and found more cheaters ;)

[JRandomNoob]

The best part about this is it looks as if FS is trying to use me as a scapegoat now (Got a headsup from a friend, and it looks as if I'm banned from the site now). I conviently quit because of the way they handled this situation (and maliciously tried to use this as a way to control and manipulate the community). Good times...
