We did not patch/modify any files to do so. Neither did we attack/infiltrate servers or websites. It's a proof-of-concept - the demonstration of circumstances that may have caused false violations.
The ones we triggered on purpose versus those violation trigged accidently if certain conditions are met. It doesn't matter that nC found the "security hole" and published it. It does not change the fact that false positives have been (and apparently will be) possible. |
Although those people that do say "Punkbuster was hacked by nC" those kind of people probably don't have each piece of information at hand, they've probably only read what they've seen published by Punkbuster or by places like Crossfire. If they have seen both sides of the story and still say nC hacked PB then they really need to read again tbh. :(
