Ncsoft Disabled L2J's Repository On Github


Recommended Posts

Just saw that some L2J repositories on GitHub have been disabled due to DMCA takedown notice from NCSoft.

Here is the notice:

https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2016-04-07-NCSOFT.md

 

For example:

https://github.com/L2J/L2J_Server

https://github.com/L2J/L2J_DataPack

https://github.com/L2J/L2J_CommunityServer

 

NCSoft is back! :lol:

What you think?

still didnt understand what exactly github is

It's useful tool to store your projects under version control. Especially useful when the project is developed by many people.

Git is similar to SVN with different (advanced) functionalities, notably easy forking system.

 

NCSoft asked to GitHub (you can compare it with xp-dev/assembla for SVN they just provide Git host) to disable L1, L2 and Aion repos, I didn't count but there was easily 200+ projects.

 

That will probably force L2J to launch their own git server to hold the repo. All in one, from the moment NCSOFT doesn't speak with server hosts (ovh, etc), it's a sword hit on water. That won't stop people to dev and launch servers (similar to old FBI story back in 2007).

Then you are wrong. Technically if someone wants to close any server or any opensource project now he can.

It's still a move from NC to stop shit around their games.

 

It happens only a few month after they asked Tower to stop retail support. They can be doing more in a close future.

That's true since L2 exists. You got no rights to use client on derivated sources. Emulator mention has been added later, but is retroactive - client connecting to an emulator is forbidden. Create your own client, with own assets and you can use your gameserver on a legit way that way. Emulator is just fine.

 

As said sdw, where NCSOFT will block (even if they are legally right) is on host section. They will have to contact main hosters and threathen them of penal pursuits. Creating a justice affaire for a single server, that's simply impossible, because of the number of servers. It will cost way too much, and if that's done that's only for biggest servers.

Private servers make big damage on ncsoft more than 10 million per year of course they can close them all but think about how much they should pay to FBI to close all of them.

Wouldnt moving to BitBucket be a good solution? I didnt have problem with DCMA, but maybe because my repository is private.

Only the most known repositories were affected.

    • Well, sorry not sorry for resurrecting old topic, but I believe it's ultimately stupid to implement license checks like Vilmis did 🙂   private static String url = "jdbc:mysql://185.80.128.233/" + getData("Zm9ydW1fZGI="); private static String username = getData("bXJjb3B5cmlnaHQ="); private static String password = getData("Y29weXJpZ2h0XzEyMw=="); con = GlobalDB.getInstance().getConnection(); PreparedStatement statement; statement = con.prepareStatement("SELECT field_6 from core_pfields_content WHERE member_id = ?"); statement.setInt(1, Config.FORUM_USER_ID); ResultSet rset = statement.executeQuery();   This awesome way of coding things leaves us with base64-encoded credentials and DB exposed and accessible globally 😉 Btw he checks his licensing data from some plugin generated table his forum uses. Vilmis took action and ensured that mrcopyright user would have only needed accesses and rights for this operation. But he forgot to ensure that his INFORMATION_SCHEMA database would not be exposed and readable... That leads us to fully readable server variables like version used (10.1.26-MariaDB-0+deb9u1 - pretty ancient DB and OS, I'd assume). From here you can go south and do some kinky stuff, if you want and have knowledge for that. But who cares, right?   Ooh, table core_pfields_content field_6 is IP address which is checked by FORUM_USER_ID. Yep, you can query all IP addresses there (124 of them right now) and also do whatever you want with them! 🙂  The most fun part? Files source has been shared what, more than 2 years ago?  Vilmis still uses very same credentials and never changed it after sources exposure - who cares. Although, "sources" may be way too strong word here. If anyone still use paid Orion versions, I'd suggest packing your shit and leaving immediately, or at least fix this incompetent fool caused problems. It's obvious Vilmis don't care or maybe doesn't even know from the first place how to solve this problem (hint hint - tiny PHP Rest API microservice which would do absolutely the same but without exposing sensitive data?). By doing that, he exposes his infrastructure and YOUR data, and he does that for more than 2 years now 🙂 Developer of century!
