Why i am writing this
I was in contact with the MyAion.eu Team.
They know that people can counterfeit their reports but still they think it is an good idea to publish the list of "Cheaters" to the public.
I am not ok with this, because if it is possible to put innocent people on the Hall of Shame list and kill their reputation as good pvp players this is very bad.
So i have decided to write a basic concept guide how to fake an report which is 100% impossible for Livo to identify as an modified log.
This should hopefully bring it to the attention of players that not all published reports are correct.
There are also other possible situations which could bring people on the list without cheating, but that would take too much time and indepth knowledge.
How does Livos Tool work
Basically his tool does an read only MITM Attack. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack)
As the game protocol has no protection against that it is possible to see the communication between client and server.
This communication gets analyzed by his tool.
So yes, from an technical point of view his tool is an hacker tool with more or less good intentions.
How would faking an report work
With the very same technology as Livo is using, but actively and not passively.
There are already tools out there which could do something like this called L2PHX.
L2PHX is an tool wich allows you to modify the data sent between your pc and the aion gameservers.
L2PHX would be running for example on an second pc and your local homerouter would then forward all data between the pc and gameforge servers to the L2PHX computer which actively alters the data between client and server.
There are really many ways to fake an report, but heres one simple and understandable version.
Hide attack speed buff and lower reported attack speed of victim player
So basically this works by modifying the reported base attack / motion speed from the server and also hiding the used buffs which increases the victims attack speed.
This information will be modified via L2PHX and then is forwarded to the pc of the client which is running MyAion.EU and the game client.
In the eyes of MyAion.eu Tool and the game client the player is hacking and there is no plausible way to counter this.
What i want from you?
Share this information with players, so people are aware of this fact.
I hope the Hall of Shame will be put down by Gameforge Staff, because at least they have the same rules in their forums.
NO NAME SHAMING
Thanks for reading and have a nice sunday.
