I didn't said that.
I meant if one of the goals of this exploit is to show others an easy way how to modify replays to take over others computers like muhaa said. Then it's an instruction how to do illegal things and this is criminal in a lot of countries.
Releasing an instruction manual how to make a simple suitcase bomb is the same thing. Some would say it's just a poc and if someone then using it to bomb away some others, the author of that, of course, has nothing to do with it.
That's crazy imo.
Read the posts you are answering boohaa
I said a buffer overflow alone doesn't do anything to anyone
till someone used his criminal energy and wrote code to use or let others use this part of the software illegally.
So now we had a problem were no problem was just because the software was used in an illegal way.
You said it: if the replays weren't ILLEGALLY modified (which is criminal) then there wouldn't be a problem at all.
For me the point with the LFS exploits is (I make it very short):
It's a sim game and exploit searching people using parts (i.e the replays) of the software in a way it shouldn't be used.
It's a replay of a race nothing more. Not a code example to play with.
No one told them to do it and it's not made by the devs for things like this.
But they dig in the code of the replays till they find something that allows i.e. a buffer overflow.
Which doesn't do anything to anyone nor is it a real security hole except
till the day these people write code to use the software part in a way the software wasn't made for.
An imo illegal way.
Then the LFS community/the devs have a problem were no problem was before,
and it wouldn't be there if they would use the software like it should be used:
For playing and having fun while racing.
So these "security holes" are only there because people searching for gaps to use the software
or parts of it in an illegal way or to show others how they can perform illegal things on other people computers with it etc.
In the end it's not making the software more secure but it steals my time, your time, and especially the devs time and delays the release of LFS final.
Thx a lot you (insert your bad words here)

What do you mean? this wiki link is not up to date afaik the law has gained Royal Assent in Nov. 2006.
You mean something like the Police and Justice Bill:
http://www.publications.parlia ... ills/119/06119.27-33.html
35 Making, supplying or obtaining articles for use in computer misuse offences
(2)
A person is guilty of an offence if he obtains any article with a view to its being supplied for use to commit, or to assist in the commission of, an offence under section 1 or 3.
(3)
In this section “article” includes any program or data held in electronic form.
that was a fun vid 
And I also liked the faked tv news pic someone made
I hope this will finally end all those imo useless threads about
"are the devs working on these issues" etc.
Great work thx
"are the devs working on these issues" etc.

Had some small hiccups the last weekend.
Looks fine atm. Np at all.

And what's the definition of Team?
A team usually comprises a group of people or at least 2.
isn't posting it 1 time more then enough?

sounds like you found the new home
Cya on the tracks
like Gunn said in another thread:
Maybe I shouldn't write something like that again it was a bad omen
because the gas pedal and the spring of my MS FF just broke 10 min. ago.
:cry:
I don't care because I don't have to buy something new .
I 'm still using the usb MS FF wheel (now for more then 9 years) and the first optical IntelliMouse Explorer MS made (for over 10 years I think) without any problems (except they both look very worn and you can't see the MS lettering on the mouse anymore).
Was both worth the money I spent for it.

How did he made the screenshot if he got no replay
Good luck with the new team Dan, I hope you can now put all your ideas into practice, with your team
That's the only apposite answer of another useless thread.
Maybe try Need for Speed.
I bet this suits your visitors more
