-The DiabloII Newb's Guide-​

The following is a list of things that you should know if you are new to diablo or just plain dumb.

-Trojan: A trojan is a type of virus kinda, its like the old story about the trojan horse, how they hid there army inside. well thats what happens, you download a program that you think is a dupe, they say it is and everything, well you download the program and its really a trojan, youve just "opened a door" so to speak. now whoever created this trojan has control of your computer, he/she can now access your files and F*ck you over.

-Dupes: There are no public dupes right now, anything you find on the web is either A. a lie, or B. really a virus/trojan.

-Public(pub)Private(priv): Public: As in "Public Dupes" for example, are dupes that anyone can get by typing in a website and downloading, or something that anyone knows; Private, as in "Private dupes" are dupes that a set of friends know, they do not tell anyone about them, they just use them, there are a few private dupes (or so said by rumors) but since they are private, no one will learn about them.

-Virus: (This is for the dumber ppl) A virus is any type of program that replicates itself and harms your computer

-Hacks: There are many types of hacks out there, Maphack,Trade hack, d2hackit,snifferxp,mephisto soulstone, so forth. If you want one, check the stickies, or use the Search button.

-If you are infected: If you become infected with a virus or trojan, there are many places to go, check the stickies in the Bnet Hacking section, ask these forums, or use the search button. Lots of people are willing to help you if you become infected, although some might make fun of you for downloading a virus. But whats worse, humiliation for 5 minutes or buying a new computer?

-Battleforums Rules that are broken by New comers: NEVER Double Post, Double posting is when you post, then you decide to say something else, so you create another post, one right after another, NEVER do this, it becomes annoying and can get you in trouble.

Section 0 - Introduction​

Hello all, Unwanted here. Im pretty new to these forums, but im not new to Diablo or the world of Trojans. So im going to share some advice with you, for those who are interested in reading i hope this helps .

-----

Section 1. Help my account has been stolen!!!​

The 2 most common ways of your account being stolen , are

- Trojans

- Friends

Trojans :

A trojan is a program that will open up a port on your computer, and let the victim connect to your PC having full control over it. This also enables them to keep track of everything you have typed, including your Diablo II username, Password & CD keys. The most common way people get infected over Diablo 2 , its by downloading a program that they think will let them dupe, because some guy in the game / chat room said it works. Dont fall for this these programs Dont work 99% of the times & they are intended to steal your account.

If you are infected with a trojan See Section 3.

Friends

Yes there are some Assholes out there that will pretend to be your friends, and when they earn your trust they will either ask for your password, or when your muling your items over they will Take them. Be carefull You have been warned.

Section 2 - Bots & Dupes​

a) What is a bot?
b) What could happen if i use it?
-
c) What is a dupe?
d) What could happen if i use it?
-


Ok here goes...

A) - A bot is a program , they will do something that you usualy would, say a Boss run, and it will keep on doing them untill you tell it to stop, There are differnt Bots out there, and different Scripts **

** A script tells the bot what to do , E.G Heal if your life is less then 50%, Kill Mephito, Pick up items and Leave **

These bots can do 1000's of runs in a few hours, They can also pick up items half way across the screen. And the good thing is they dont get board, or tired so you can leave them on as long as you want.

For More information About bots, See the Bots & Editors Section.

--

B) If you decide to use a bot, to get better items or become more powerfull in the game, your account will eventuly get banned. Blizzard have banned 1000's of accounts of people who have botted. So use at your own risk .

--

C) Dupe basicaly means - Multiply something, Copy It. And in Diablo it lets you copy your Items . There have been verious methods of duping out Ranging from "Charsi Dupe" up to "Lag dupe", There are no Verified dupe methods out in the public but there are some that are theory'd to work. Such as the lag dupe method, but the sucess rate of this dupe is very very very Low. Hardly worth the effort.

--

D) Same as botting, you will get banned for dupeing, although you have a higher chance of being banned for botting then you do of duping.


--

Section 3 - Removing Trojans:​

Ok so your infected with a trojan? well i will show you the easiest way to remove it.

First of all you should try getting a Fire wall, there are verious free ones out there, but i recomend Zone alarm. There is a free trial download on www.zonelabs.com , if you like it , you should consider buying it. It will prevent unwanted access to your PC. And if someone does attempt to connect it will show you Information about them , and where about in the World they are from Pretty cool eh?

Once you have set up your fire wall now you should get rid of the trojan. Here are two good links for free scanners.

Virus Scanners

Moon soft
http://www.moosoft.com/thecleaner <- Recommended

Tauscan
http://www.tauscan.com

--

And one of my favourite online Free scanners is Trend micro. Regular updates & have a huge directory of Virus's , Trojans , worms, and how to remove them. There Damages, and so on.
