HOUR GLITCH EXPLAINED

Ahhh, finally I have come up with an explanation of my infamous hour glitch. After extensive research, and then talking to a friend of mine who is extremely good with computers (and hacking), I believe I have found the answer to all of our questions.

 The glitch is called a buffer overflow. This is caused when you put something more (or unexpected) in something than it is designed for. For example, a programmer may set the maximum characters for a username to 256. If you put in more characters, say, 1000, and include a script or something similar in those 1000 characters, something will happen due to the inability for the program to handle that many characters.

 With the hour glitch, setting your guild tag would put letters in your name, but the word filter would change http to ****. This in turn would make it so that your guild tag was not set (because you needed to have your rank set, and if it wasn't correct, you wouldn't be wearing your guild tag), and then you could do it over and over, until a buffer overload occurred.

 The limit is most likely a built-in nickname limit of 256 characters, and so this would work on all servers, given you had a way to set your nick to more characters than that. This is a huge security threat to graal, as somebody could potentially get RC rights for any server, if they knew how to do some scripting and took the time to figure out how to use this correctly.

 I would be very happy if somebody was willing to try some of this out for me. The built in limit is most likely 256 characters, and then there are limits imposed by other means which can obviously be bypassed. This could lead to endless exploits, maybe even getting our hands on the current gserver (for all of you graal reborn addicts)! I'll be working on this for a long time.

 I am thinking of creating a graal hacking team (like hardcore attacking hacking), one that will try to do some high profile shit... if you are interested, contact me at haxis@lavabit.com φ

WEB HOSTING

WOW. After searching for an adequate web hosting service, I finally found one that I liked (pain in the ass to sign up though... more of that later). I got 50webs working, and boy am I happy. The free hosting is great, and the control panel looks pretty advanced. I also signed up at VeeServe, which is the same web hosting that graal reborn uses, and it seems to work just fine (go to haxis.tk to see what I'm currently hosting on it). I'm not sure what I'm going to use this stuff for, but I'm sure it will be of some use. φ

ODDITIES

Have any of you had anybody in your life that could do things that you couldn't explain? I'm talking psychic type of unexplainable. Like my [dead] grandma Judi. She always knew when something was wrong, or when I was going to do something stupid (she would always tell me to think before I did whatever she thought was stupid. I never listened, although more often then not she turned out to be right). She had a nack for telling what the weather was going to be at any given time of the day (this was from skill, not psychic ability, I'm sure), and could tell when somebody was hurt.

 I never thought of these to be anything special until about a year ago, when, at age 68 she was on her death bed, dying of liver failure. The nurse who was taking care of her (it was too late to get a transplant) was named Sarah. A week before Judi died, she asked for Rosa. When the nurse came in, Judi said "Rosa, can I have a drink?". Sarah patiently explained that her name was Sarah, thinking that Judi was going nuts or something.

Judi: Your name's Rosa
Sarah: It's Sarah...
Judi: No, It's Rosa.
Sarah: ...
Judi: Don't lie to me.
Sarah: Maybe you should get some sleep...

The whole time Judi had her warm smile on, it wasn't creepy or anything, just kinda weird.

White faced, she stalked out of the bedroom, looking close to what I would think somebody would after seeing a ghost.

 Later, after Judi was asleep, I asked Sarah what all that was about, and why she had reacted like she had.. She explained how she was adopted very young out of her family, and her original name was Rosa, but her new parents decided to rename her. She said that she had never told anybody this, and was very surprised about Judi knowing her name, and asked me if I knew anything about it. φ

EHID UNRESCHEDULED

It turns out that the 25 was today, which is really close! So, today is the real every1 hates iPepsi day!!! If you really wanna piss him off, pm him 'I love you'! Spam on his blog on how you wanna have sex with him (actually, don't... that could be considered as sexual harassment... I don't want to be responsible for any lawsuits)!

 In another mood, I will soon be giving my 10k views reward out! But I need help!!! IDK what to give out! Post comments giving me ideas. It will be something huge, so go ahead and what you can come up with.
