Item droper items?

[Starfish]

Found this, it's about an interesting new hack that some people have been complaining about:

Well, recently, there've been an increasing number of complaints that people have been offered to pick up some random item, only to have their equipment fall off them when they do.

At first I thought it was just bull, but I was MFing in a game when I heard some guy swear someone else out, leave, then everyone else were talking about how he picked up an item and all his gear fell off... Then the supposed scammer was tempting the others' to pick up some expensive item, saying "wow, you must be all rich to not want to pick this up."

hellmonkey,
the char-buff is 255 characters. if you can surpas this, you can set executable files to run. this is the same way to overload the char buffer and "hack" users of outlook express. i've thought about applying this to diablo, and over lunch i came up with this:

if you overload the character buffer you can crash the game, i tested this. if you use ascii v2.0 characters in the game, the language packet crashes you out. so you can make an item that will drop anyone who highlights it by adding these extended ascii characters.

if the character buffing is the same here as it is in outlook express, after the 255 character limit is reached the memory assigned will write, rather than read. this means that an executable command can surreptitiously be inserted here.

the challenge to this would be to add the drop (the extended ascii characters) after the 255 buff characters and after the executable that drops the player (all commands will follow sequentially).

You know the bomb charms at open B.net? I bet they are from there. If the items had come from there I hope they don´t bring bomb charms too. Those would ruin HCL.

Sounds like the only guys who knows what they're talking about are oLp[sK] and DrCatPlop (and maybe Hellmonkey to an extent)

Whoa , but if all your items drop not like you would care ( well i wouldnt) just go give it to someone with better items than you had in the first place. Then you get better items !! lol
But i would keep it anyway then when i dupe came out i would dupe heeps of them and use them all on rich people

Edit: Wouldnt a hacker smart enough to do that have a better way to get people to pick it up? eg: When Baal dies in a run drop it

I don´t think it would work that well when everyone is clicking on Baal anyways and most of the people have pickit.
