Punkbuster source code [leaked]

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-21 9:32

Yesterday when I downloaded my free copy of Quake 3 ARENA from my favorite warez site there was also a file "Punkbuster.zip". Here are the main sections of the source code from a file called pb.bas:

10 ' ***************************************************

Cool story bro, but I don't see the code that causes massive slowdowns and hitches during the first minutes of gameplay.

Also I don't see the code that installs a privileged service that wakes up 10 times a second even when there's no PB-using application open (sleep(100); is not a synchronization primitive you fucking retards, if everything is coded like that it's not strange it has so many problems)

Ever since I read the story about a year ago involving PB scanning *all* memory (I guess it just iterated through every page) and banning short little strings, and how this was exploited via IRC chat buffers to get people banned on a massive scale...

Well, I realized those folks are dumbasses.

disregard that, I didn't think I'd find a Wikipedia article on a program written in BASIC!

Lol'd at
malicious users were able to cause mass false positives by transmitting text fragments from known cheat programs onto a high population IRC channel.

crackers started embedding binary strings in their avatar pictures and signatures on legitimate forums, causing people who browsed the forums to be kicked

Hilarious, except PB is written in SEPPLES.

I fucking hate Punkbuster. Though I don't play much now a days.

Don't change these.
