Hacker Paranoia, The True Situation. How to Protect Yourself.

False alarm, Kukawa, how cute ^_^

Before you read into this security measure, allow me to emphasize this first, ANYTHING YOU DO YOURSELF BEYOND THIS POINT (CLIENTSIDE) IS MOST LIKELY USELESS IN HELPING AGAINST HACKER THREATS.  ALL HACKS ARE BASED ON SQL INJECTIONS INTO NEXON'S DATABASE (SERVERSIDE) MEANING IF NEXON DOES NOT PROTECT THEMSELVES, YOU ARE Screwdrivered.

(Clientside = YOU, Serverside = Nexon)

Now, in order to fully understand the situation here's how the hacking works.

There are two methods hackers are implementing into this system, Packet stealing, and SQL injections.

Packet Stealing: A user for ex. finishes a mission and gains 10,000exp.  A packet of Information will be sent out to Nexon's database that collects ALL of the user's clientsided info.  The 10,000exp will include Login info as well as personal information entered into the computer.  This cannot be stopped.

SQL Injections: On the website for Vindictus.com, notice the http:// does not HAVE SSL or "shttp://".  This allows hackers to use a hacking method calling SQL injections where they directly pump observer bugs into Nexon's website, where that observer will directly leak Injections of Personal information/login to the hacker.  In other words, SQL injections function as a dog playing fetch.  I send the dog into the server and he fetches me information.  SQL injections CAN be stopped by SSL, but nexon is too cheap to afford such.

As this brings my speculation that 2ndary password will be most likely useless.  Despite your 1000 firewalls, config changing, tertiary account logins, the hacker won't be hacking YOU, but will be hacking Nexon.

Nexon will hold all the 2ndary passwords in a separate server (hopefully Secure), or they can risk it like the cheap company they are and store it into a USB drive.

Old methods that can raise protection: (All of these methods have been proven to be Broken because once again, everything hacked is SERVERSIDE, NOT CLIENTSIDE)

However, if you're still paranoid, it won't hurt to take 5 minutes to implement these few security measures.

1. Go to your Nexon folder C:/Nexon/Vindictus/en-US/ and find a Config.txt file.  Right click it, Properties, and set it to READ ONLY. Then click ok and exit.  

(What this does is if you accidentally enter a hacking boat or random PVP map that hasn't been implemented, the Host that is hacking will not be able to mess up your settings and deem you as a hacker)

2. Avoid Buying websites.  Although it's common sense to avoid Chinese vindictus selling gold/equips websites, there is one particular one made by the infamous guild leader of B**** Ra*** aka. Deaths***** that is literally an obvious risk.  (Source by forums)

3. Make a 2ndary account to log into forums.  Don't log into your main in the main website, use a secondary account to post forum messages.  If you wish to purchase NX, go to the Charge NX page that has SSL.  

4. Avoid logging and opening the game through Website. USE the EXE File in your folder!  It's faster and safer!

In conclusion, most likely any method you try to protect yourself is useless.  However, these can help against a few old hacking methods in the past.

My input.  As I've been a customer of Nexon for over 8 years, I believe this hacking spree is an undercover assocation with Nexon and chinese gold workers.  Nexon recently released that they were going IPO, but also released the same news that their database was comprised.  However, their IPO status did not change, suspicious much?  On the other hand, players getting hacked or buying Gold entice Nexon to make MORE revenue.  Players who buy gold have the opportunity to get any items they want in the game.  However, this is limited because enchants/enhancing at some point require the safe degree of using NX to buy runes.  

Additionally, Nexon as a major worldwide gaming corporation sitting slightly behind Blizzard can EASILY, no NATURALLY afford extreme security measures.  However, they opt to sit on junk servers, junk security, and junk staff.  The 2ndary password, I believe, is being delayed for a REASON.  Instead, Nexon tries to hide this news and give us 10 divine stones as "compensation".  

MH:KR "M-Match" With Translation by Z. (Level 61 Requirement)

Hello! I am new here for Vindictus Broadcast and my name is Heuyang!



New PvP M Match.
M match is a player and boss monster match act as 1 team.
Red Team and Blue Team fight and try to take down the opposing team's Boss Monster.

Single Player is it will be 1 v 1 with a boss monster
Triple Player is where a team will fight with their own boss monster.
Now, let's begin the M-Match shall we?

*le Zokku's workout music*

 Oh? Suddenly ingkells appeared out of nowhere
Where do you think ingkells appeared out from?
Somebody must have used a "Boss Monster Assist"
Which team do you think used the assist?

*le More Zokku's workout music*

Blue Team Wins
The team that wins will be switched? And receive a prize.
The losing team will also receive a small prize.
The player can use the prize to redeem Boss Monster Assists and other prizes as well

End Translation.

More info:
In single player there will be a random boss assigned. Will not know until battle starts

Rewards given at the end of the battle are called "Tension Items", where Buff items or
"Duel Tension" tickets are rewarded.
Duel Tension tickets allow the player to summon boss monsters like Ingkell in the fray.

Happy 22nd Birthday Kurosa-ahem- ICHIJO! イチゴ

A strawberry wallpaper can only mean one thing.  

Rising from the fields of fresh strawberries or from that Japanese anime called Bleach 

is Ichijo!

This guy. THIS GUY.

7/29. 

Now I could create some exquisite newsletter or write some extremely lengthy post that could literally obliterate the millions of brain cells in your brain at this instant.  However, I won't do such because I already know that reading this sentence can absolutely kill about 200 million brain cells at a rate of 1/10 sec per line.  The facts are facts.

And here's the fact. Nobody could replace him to be our greatest Fiona in the guild.  And no, it's not because he soloed glas in only 15 minutes.  No, it's not because he assisted Zokku about 84 times during Titan.  No, it's not because our Tsundere absolutely loves him to death.  And finally no, it's not because he's always stalking people secretly.

Ichijo. You and I are not so different.

Happy 22nd Birthday Ichijo. You will forever be my Love. No sexual innuendo intended.

あなたがこれを読み取ることができる場合こんにちは一条が、私はあなたをとても愛して！あなたは私が今まで出会った最も偉大な人であり、私はギルドのために献身し、長い努力に感謝！神は、できるだけ多くの点で加護を！よくバランスの取れた食事をスリープして食べることを忘れないでください！いつか私はあなたを訪問する！
-Zokku


私はいつもあなたを愛して、毎日のあなたの体の周囲に心を置くでしょう！
-Serera


あなたは素晴らしいですし、私はあなたに愛を作りたい

Episode 10 Leak (Warning: Small spoilers)

Electric Dragon

Ice Dragon














Tieve and Keaghan spoilers:

Well. We all know what's going to happen.


And last but not least, it has been speculated Kai will be released in KR Vindictus
December 12.

Teensy Note

Project ESO is on Hold until further notice.  (We will not be running any for now)


To Administrators:
Please check the email as a new Discussion has opened for slot A.

A Tertiary Security Precaution (Until 2nd Password comes out)

As shared and requested from a fellow guild leader, I believe it is in a positive perspective for those who are concerned with Security Issues and recent Mass hacking in Vindictus follow this 3rd method of protection.

The new forums that Vindictus has released, once again has no SSL, hence hackers are still able to inject SQL readings into database and steal login/password info.  It is HIGHLY SUGGESTED FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WISH TO PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNTS make a 2ndary mule or random account to use in the forums.
In other words, please refrain from logging into the FORUMS with your main account.

Personally, I have made a separate mule account just to log in forums.  When I use NX, I change to the Nexon Billing page as it states it has SSL for login.  Other than these methods, I only use clientside (.exe) to login into the game.

November Update! Huge Update Directly From KR Vindictus!

Z here. This update took me about a plump hour to post scavenging through Korean sites.  Pour some tea and enjoy the new updates (This Update went live 10/25/11 for KR Vindictus)
(This is the best I could do with translation, most of it is legible and some updates were already applied to US Vindictus, for ex. a new All-out-team battle PVP (M) will be coming out for KR, but uses the same map)

For the Nov. update, few traces of news have been leaked for the upcoming Ep 9. Pt. 2/ Ep. 10 Update. (Also known as the 24-man raid Dragon update, with Ep. 9 pt.2 as the subservient name to Episode 10).  Unfortunately no release date available, but there are a few other surprises in speculation.
The 24-man raid will consist of dedicated servers hosted by Nexon where it is PUG-ONLY.  There will be no hosters as missions will execute once a server is full with 24 pugs.  Hence, attempting to sortie and facilitate which servers to join are impossible.
