Being attacked by myself

[Canoehead]

A hacker with my name and 135 levels below me and with 500k attack has been hitting me all day long. Guy only has a few hundred fights, a few hundred weapons, but 93 each of several top scratcher prizes. Based on some walls others are having similar issues

Yep dravaks thread is about this...odd stuff, talking about auto bots...

Is your in-game name the same as your forum name?

[Canoehead]

No. Moving this to dravak's thread

Does Gree do anything to stop this from happening?

[bobsmith]

yes they offer gold for sale.

[Dangerous Greg]

happened to me as well....he was armed with many high end current event prizes. He started at level 62 and had no avitar.

They laugh maniacally, and then return to their secret volcano base to take bath in money.

My cousin Joaqim attacks himself every night.

Did anyone see ghosts pictures and think: 'poor bdub. That guy needs a break?'

[Ghost818]

The hackers during last pvp event were more organized. Atleast that one made sense. This ones too slow the message is all messed up.

The scary thing about this one, is that it may well have gone over and above the previous style of cheat, which most muppets with an android device, or jail broken iPhone could pull off.

The name changes seems to make it look like that they have some amount of control over the server interface, or at least an extended set of functions within the server that are not used in normal operation, they may or may not be 'bots' in the true technical sense. I suspect that there is a function used when you choose a name at the start of the game, that you can call multiple times, and the player is just using this.

The good news is that they haven't 'hacked' the server, or at least I doubt it, because if they did they would just as likely change YOUR name as anything else.

On the downside, I suspect that this is a single person, and that if this is someone familiar with, and participates in the forum there are only about a dozen people who I know of who have the skills to pull it off. I would say that I'm one of them, but I would have been FAR more original and humorous.

Maybe they just sent packets to the server and changed the name?

changed Var attackedName to the intended target, and their own name in the packet to their name? That's the only thing short of hacking the server that I can personally think of. Unless, you have a different theory :p
