Regarding re**.com Notice

Date : 3/27/2007
inquiry : 435

Recently many players got nervous about outflowing information and hacking damage from re**.com, because characters and items of certain players were searched in the corresponding website.

We have investigated the site, re**.com, and have found out the results listed below, so there is no need to feel uneasy regarding this issue.

* The site is written in special mark to prevent players from clicking the link.

[Results of Investigation]

1. Corresponding website is not a hacking site of our Silkroad Online server, but is rather a scanning site of players' PCs.

2. Scanning can be progressed by re**.com, using information achieved from their site visitation and registration, or when a bot program is used, through the help of a virus program.

3. The information that can be scanned is very simple, as shown in their website. Other important information such as password is safe from this scanning progress.

4. For secure game play, please restrict yourself from visiting re**.com, and run an anti-virus program at least once a week.

it's a lie. the website doesn't scan the PC's. the rev6 bot IN GAME scans the character's info and sends it to the rev6 ladder system.

Joymax is only denouncing rev6 because rev6 can do so much more than what Gaymax can do

I don't see the difference between your statement and Joymax's. How does the rev6 bot scan in game? By sitting on YOUR PC and scanning packets that come in. Big whoop de doo.

duplicate? -.-

Wrong. You don't have to have anything sitting on your PC. Think about it for a moment. You use a client. Someone is in the rendering distance of your client. Your client needs to know the player model to draw. So that information is sent to your client. Ok the char is wearing gear. But what gear? So that information is sent to your client. Does that gear have seal? If so the client may need to render a glow. so that information is sent to your client. All the data rev6 has can be had by having a simple packet sniffer on the same network as a PC running an SRO client. It does not even have to be on the same PC.
