@sainath
Thanks for bringing it to notice but i really fail to understand people doing all this stuff just to hack characters..

Btw you still didnt say if there are any possible solutions to them because they seem to be serious offences and i hope server side security is good enough to verify and reject such malicious packets or they seriously need an overhaul.

Btw i think packet sniffing is the concept that is used for packing rather than key loggers not sure but i guess that is why ids which deal and stuff get hacked so often.

There IS a solution. But that is rather uh... Complex?

The A3 server needs to (If not already doing) make sure that there is NO alteration of packets being RECIEVED by the server. (100% of altered packets are sent only to the server, I mean, why would the server alter its own packets? lol). This is a very complicated thing to do, unfortunately.

Most new hackers just send a HUGE amount of packets to the server at one time, and this can be detected by the server (Eg - Memora giving 200 Mil exp?). But smarter hackers send the packets little by little, to arouse almost no suspicion. This takes time, but if done right, can mean disaster.

But cyber law means that any server side hacker can be arrested .



As for protection from this, I can only think of one thing. Gameguard.

This is a software that is used in MANY online games (Maplestory, Gunbound, etc), which is extremely effective against this. As soon as it detects ANY .dll files being injected (This is essential to the hacker), it shuts down the game.

Gameguard CAN be bypassed, but this is rather difficult, and they update often. This is the only solution I can think of for now

This is a very long shot, but it just might work.


Remember people begging for A3 to become f2p with item malls?

Well, how about we settle for P2P, but the A3 server installs this?

It is a very long shot, and this may not be my say, but I strongly recommend that A3 Runs on GameGuard, Which is 99% Hack Proof. (The 1% is not only unlikely, but leaves the hacker with only simple hacks, like not getting hit etc. Dosent sound simple? Well compare it to hacking characters and tell me which is simpler )

quit a3
the best possible thing i can suggest u

wow..kewl suggestion...i hope the a3 team look into this matter...
if the hacker carries on like this then a3=RIP..

Quit a3india and go play some private server !

That is the most childish solution to a problem. Works, but not always.

Imagine you're working on some project worth millions when you work, and something keeps going wrong. Do you just get up and say "Nah, lets quit" ?
