10 Year Old "Hacker" Exploits a "Zero Day Flaw" in Games - Polidicks

WOAH HOW REVOLOUTIONARY

hacker!!!!

[QUOTE=Map in a box;31636002]People are getting dumber and dumber every day. Read the article. This isn't about PC. It's about phones/tablets. It means it would require hardware modifications. So no, you didn't do this when you were 8.[/QUOTE] [quote]So I thought, 'Why don't I just change the time?'" Most of the games she discovered the exploit in have time-dependent factors. For example, planting corn might take 10 real-time hours to mature in the game. Manually advancing the phone or tablet's clock forced the game further ahead than it really was, opening up the exploit. While many games will detect and block this kind of manipulation, CyFi said that she discovered some ways around those detections. Disconnecting the phone from Wi-Fi made it harder to stop, as did making incremental clock adjustments.[/quote] Oh man INCREMENTAL CLOCK ADJUSTMENTS

Shit man, one time I hacked my uncles PS2's clock ahead a week and when I loaded the game The End died of old age. 1337 H4X0R!

I hate the word hacker. Anyone without any computer literacy what-so-ever thinks that if you find a(n) exploit or have any knowledge about technology is a hacker. . . What the Fuck

[quote]She is not revealing at this time which games are affected because of reasonable disclosure, thus giving the vendors that make the affected games a chance to respond.[/quote] This is the last place reasonable disclosure should be an issue. It's a fucking game [editline]10th August 2011[/editline] [quote]CyFi's mother, who must remain anonymous to protect her daughter's identity, told CNET that at the end of CyFi's presentation at DefCon Kids they would offer a $100 reward to the young hacker who found the most games with this exploit over the following 24 hours[/quote] No seriously what

THE HAX.

[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;31631921]i do this with tiny tower stand the fuck back or ill hack yer bum[/QUOTE] You can do this in Fable 2 as well. Jack up the rent, set the clock forward by a week, come back, loadsa money.

Are you fucking kidding? I did this with blithering pokemon gold back in the day. Nobody gave me a news story. Hell I think the fact that I managed to make a guy AGE TO DEATH in metal gear solid 3 by "hacking" the ps2's clock settings is far more impressive than some shitty corn, fuck you little girl

What the fuck? Isn't this the easiest way to kill The End in Snake Eater, what is so new about it?

skiddie. [editline]10th August 2011[/editline] I've been doing this with DRM from when I was 5 to when everyone realised and fixed it. She's > 12 years late.

the only reason this is news is because suddenly hacking is a big deal and journalists don't know technology well enough to know what's actually cool yet

i'd hack her

It's a known issue in Fable 2, that I used. This is BARELY anything. [QUOTE=ZpankR;31647410]i'd hack her[/QUOTE] I don't know if I should call you a pedo, or not.

[QUOTE=Map in a box;31636423]Thats not CLOCKING. Thats SETTNIG THE TIME.[/QUOTE] You are retarded. If you would read the time, you would realize that the girl is just setting the time.

I think it's because she's the first women to become a success out of the kitchen.

Just like MGS3, in the fight with the old guy(forgot his name :v:)

[QUOTE] 10 year old girl = 1337 H4X0R [/QUOTE] :suicide:

I love how they call anyone a hacker who does anything with computers, including cheat. That's what this girl did. Cheat. Not hack. Cheat.

[QUOTE=Hamm0;31632217]I did this on animal crossing years ago...[/QUOTE] I killed The End like this years ago...

What a dumb exploit to make it into the news. The rest of the civilized world was using this exploit years ago on the gamecube and the original xbox, it's nothing new, it's nothing impressive, and it's not hacking. God damn.

I do this with real life. I manage pretty well I'm thinking about setting the time to 2050 so I can stay young and still go to space.

This isn't even the definition of hacking. They should change the headline to "10-year old girl finds nothing of value to society."

$10 says this is going around on a site that isn't tech-minded like facepunch, saying "what an awesome girl", "she's a fucking genius", etc

hahahahaha this isn't news

You wouldn't believe how many news sites have posted about this.

Say you fly on a plane to another timezone and update the time on your phone. Thats pretty innocent. So all you need to do to be really good at farmville LEGIT is fly around the earth really really faster faster than the sun goes around YES [editline]11th August 2011[/editline] smarked

They're considering this ingenious? Man, the standard has really been lowered.
