I have a friend who says while playing War Commander he thinks his opponent is PINGING him which causes a disconnect.while he is disconnected the opponent wipes out all of his troops.

So, first is this possible for an opponent in this Facebook app/game to disable an opponent? (whether or not the initiating command is a ping or some other command)


Second if this type of hack IS possible(has anyone else heard of this?) is there a way to prevent it?

thanks
 
Erm. What do i start with...

What a load of rubbish....

EDIT: Sorry let me clarify, you can't take someone offline by a generic ping, and certainly not specific to a facebook app.

OK. I wasn't sure, so now I can quotes an authoritative person, "RUBBISH"!

thanks Exosa\
 
Your friend, needs to look closer to his PC, home network connection before citing fantasy. Then again it might not even be that, could be some spurious DNS issue with his ISP.
 
Or ping flood...

To a facebook app... lets not get too technical ;)

To be fair HH, i doubt it. I understood it to be he gets d/c from his facebook app. Could even be some crappy browser plugin, you know as well as I do when you go to visit someone's PC how much rubbish is installed.

Yep, that's true. I'll assume it's just my sneaky mind ;)
 
I did find a few videos by Googling War Commander hack (or cheat) but I have no Flash on this machine to watch them.

thanks guys, I'll do the same google, Spectre and see what is up !!

Someone else replied with this comment,"not sure anymore but in the early 2k's we use to use a program called win nuke .. that
would blue death the other persons screen and force a reboot heh.
." is it possible?

thanks all again!
 
As Exos said - unlikely - you should always check your firewall is locked down properly and your OS is fully patched to minimise these supposed hacks which are generally a Denial of Service attack.

However, for them to work also requires the attacker know your WAN IP address (the one you get from the ISP), or, you run some direct connection utility.
