ATTENTION! The danger of patch 1.26 (Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos)
Thanks to one of the adherents of the old patch in this thread revealed the critical danger of the game to patch 1.26 and below.Namely, authors can run on your computer any program, once you startanete the game on their map. In this case you will not be issued any warnings/issues/notifications, just launched who knows what without your knowledge and rights as the game client (and many start the game from the administrator - that is, rights are very large).
Of course, most of the authors of maps such nonsense are not engaged, but here you go in some sort of game, download card - how do you check that it is not sutrayana? No way! So the only option is to not download any new maps at all unless you don't trust PERSONALLY to their author and are not sure that the downloaded map is not fake (and you can check it when downloading through the game again, impossible). The vulnerability is (SIC) was corrected in a 1.27 b.
Robatel have already switched to the patch where this is fixed, but many still play on the old patch in other ways, and consider it necessary to warn them.
Not a windmill,he says. Due to the fact that the map size has increased significantly,there may be a risk of embedded virus in the map.
The program like Warcraft is just a stream of bytes. That sees it and sings. The whole point of applied language jass, running cards like DotA, in writing some of the user actions, i.e., the lyrics. Not to frighten beginners, and not to increase development time, Blizzard left only a basic set of notes. Roughly speaking, the left on the piano, and the rest disappeared over the wall "virtual machine".
Memcheck (memory hack, hacking, memory) destroys the wall and opens up full access to the entire tool. The only disadvantage of technology — to take advantage of this gap can be in any order, from the expansion of the game and its features (as we did) to the total enslavement of the player's computer through built-in virus that will run with the same rights as Warcraft (most users — admin). That it is not necessary to download cards with the "left" sources, where they could edit anyone, mentioned.
