Re: Fun with GIFAR (security vulnerability)

Posted on 2014-04-29, 16:04

Where's the security vulnerability in this situation? You are requiring the user to *run* something. You don't need all of the fancy obfuscation for that. The .bat could just about set ACLs and format c:. In any case, DOSBox already contains known vulnerabilities in its handling of certain …

If you're behind a router, don't use IE, don't download anything from shady websites, and install a virus scanner with real-time protection, can XP still get exploited? Of course it can. The technique is called "malvertising" - malicious advertising. It happens even on the big sites like Yahoo. Bad …

:-) In other words, "I have sex with everyone that I meet, and I never use a condom. I've never got sick so everything is fine". It's just luck that you haven't experienced anything worse. It's definitely not recommended behavior. If you connect to the Internet, then you are vulnerable. Your browser …

Re: References to Unreleased Games in Infocom Titles?

Eureka! I have been informed that Beyond Zork did indeed have a crystal ball that foretold the sequel to HHGG. Really? I certainly don't remember that, and I just looked through the text of Beyond Zork and find no references to even a crystal ball, let alone HHGG. Perhaps Return To Zork (which I …

As far as I know, HHGTTG and Zork III are the only ones with references. In the case of Zork III, there were two or three rooms that you could visit if you were lucky enough with the transporter. In HHGTTG, it was obvious that it was supposed to continue on Magrathea. I think that Stationfall hadn't …

actually, it is still present - in steamwars.ini, change the "WriteLog = No" to "WriteLog = Yes" and then run. you'll get a chronos.log file created in the bin directory, hopefully with a message describing what went wrong.

perhaps CPU speed? It seems to require a 1500MHz CPU. If your CPU reports a smaller value then the demo won't load. It's a shame that the debug interface was disabled in the demo code, otherwise you could get a meaningful message about where exactly the failure is occurring. I might try to re-enable …
