How Tournaments Worked

Posting from Bondy's House. C47 Headquarters.

Re: Follow-up on the CS tournament @ GTL 3.

Bondy has said he wasn't persistant (Maybe I was wrong about him being persistant, maybe not) but anyway I'm just posting to tell you guys how the tournaments worked (In case you were wondering)

How they worked was as follows:
One of the clans picked a side and the other clan joined the opposite side (We got stuck on T both times, I'm not really good as a T player on 1.6). The match went for 12 rounds. After those 12 rounds the sides were switched (So T's-CT's and CT's-T's) then the score was reset. You had to play on the other team and win more rounds than they got while playing as that team. In our first game the CT's won 2 rounds and we won 10 so after the change we only had to win 3 rounds to win. We won hands down. There was a lot of confusion over this method.

I forgot to mention that at GTL3 the game most people were playing was a Half-Life mod called "Natural Selection" Lil'Bondy suggested I try and get people to play ETF but I didn't bother since we were only there for a couple hour's anyway.

Gametec LAN Writeup


C47 won their first match again -]NS[-. During the practice we were 2 members short so I spent about 20 minutes finding Milamber to fight on our side (By joining the public server) and then one of the admins got aK.47 to fight on our side as well. I think -]NS[- were about to get one of the admins to pass them as the winner of the match beacuse of us having too few members. Thanks for putting up with us -]NS[- you put up a good fight. After beating -]NS[- we moved up and fought against U5 who owned us with their awp's. aK.47 kept insisting that they were all 'sus' I wasn't sure what he meant though. Those guys sounded angry they were yelling at each other a hell of a lot. He said they would be off their game but we only won 3 rounds against them. Lil' Bondy insists that U5 were speed hacking, he said if you held TAB before you died you could spectate despite fade-to-black. I wish he told me this while were playing so I could do it myself. I have no proof of U5 speed hacking nor do I agree with his accusation. To me they were just good players who had some AWP's and liked to grenade spam. I must admit at times their grenade throws seemed to be wallhacked. I can't say for certain though as I had no spectator. Anyway I think we all had a good time with the clan matches and I can't wait til GTL4 (Lets hope there is one). I got season 1 & 2 of Dilbert from the lan and the entire Angelic Slayer series (I believe it's the entire thing). They didn't have the last 3 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist there they only had the same ones as me sadly. The_Shadow downloaded a lot of Rurouni Kenshin off me and 10.0.0.49 kept "Search Spamming" but it was still alright. The network was lightning fast with CS pings of 0,1,4,5,9 and once I even saw a -1 (I kid you not!) as you would expect from the quality hardware used there. We were behind a 10/100 switch so we didnt benefit as much as the others from the gigabit backbone (Not that I have a 1000mbps network card but I still would've gotten a faster connection). Thor and myself were leeching that network like crazy. DC is a lot of fun on a LAN. I hope we can get into that Melbourne Wireless sooner or later. This post hasn't been formatted beacuse im posting through "Hello" with my 300bytes/second download I can't view any websites lets hope my 256kbps upload will hold up to post this though :) Posted by Hello

Virus Research

What is it with people and viruses? How hard is it to stay away from these things? Recently Ben, Daniel and myself have been infecting people with trojans at random to test how secure people really are. Go onto www.freechatnow.com and just set your nick to something like "HotGirlHomeAlone" or "HotChickWithCam" or "HotGuy4u" and then ask if anyone wants to see your pic. Link them to an exe file and watch the fun begin!

The Trojans we are testing with are:
*Minimo
*Sub7 2.15 Legends (Anniversery Release)
*ProRat


Andrew webcam shots his victim eating his own hand

The guy I posted a pic of above caught onto us when Ben started Steam a few times on his computer trying to keylog his password. The guy installed Mcaffe and removed Minimo but it left ProRat unharmed.

We have successfuly viewed 4 people's passwords (out of the 50 or so victims we got, most of them were firewalled and only worked with minimo reverse connection mode and ProRat requires you to pay $200 before you can get reverse connections on it.)

Didn't bother actually infecting anyone with Sub7 beacuse it was so old. I tried it on myself and 3 other computers though. It wasn't as updated as the rest needless to say.

I went NetBios scanning and found my best friend's step bro Mark had his computer on the net (Out of all the odds of me finding this, I found it twice on 2 seperate days!). I also found another person on Windows 98 who had full C access shared. She had Norton on her computer though and it auto-deleted my Minimo trojan when I put it in the startup folder. I couldn't be bothered getting an undetectable server though so I just carried on scanning. Found a lot of Anime and other shares with Music and stuff - Netbios scanning is the new Kazaa ;)

Nathan and me made up some servers with ProRat and bound them to Music & Picture files. We didn't get as much success but a few people accepted (Nathan stupidly sent some of them on MSN and crashed my router several times despite the fact I mentioned several times and got in an argument with him that MSN transfers crash it...Stupidity goes a long way)

We got a lot of mixed success with Trojan's but I think exploits are still the way to go. Out of the 50 hosts we virus'd only 2 of them had anti-virus and 1 didn't have it installed to start with. The majority of them were using Firewalls which were bypassed with reverse connection (Webcam viewer coverup allows easy allowal through firewall)
