@@EightOneGulf nearly all vulnerable cod games have some kind of "modded" client available which uses dedicated servers instead of peer to peer (e.g. Plutonium, IW4X), they are used by 90% of people since it's the only way to play safe on PC

Well don't forget that when Activision stroke down IW4X, it was 100% deserved - these people were SELLING TORRENTS of the COD games, they made MONEY of the clients, you had to buy their client, NOT THE ORIGINAL GAME. Remember how BOIII, the very needed bo3 client, went from free to paid all of the sudden after all the time of it being free? Well, when you became a patreon (which became a necessarily in order to launch the game), you were given torrents of the full bo3 game and it's DLCs. TLDR: IW4X (BOIII was part of) were SELLING TORRENTS, selling piracy, not requiring the original game.
@@tom_606HQ the original games are never discounted are are still 50$+, so I'm sorry but fuck Activision and the rest, Piracy is acceptable when corporations refuse to allow people to play older products.
Steam should probably just remove those games from the store lol, even if there are fanmade patches. To the average online player they're basically buyable malware. From what I've heard they haven't been updated in years
I disagree, but they should absolutely put a warning on it and Activision should kill the servers completely. You can still play it safely with the IW4X mod or just private matches with friends (or just the campaign). Delisting games is removing history.
This issue is honestly applicable to every Call Of Duty game that has been released before 2019 as I am pretty sure every single one of those older games uses Peer to Peer connections and not dedicated servers like the newer call of duty's. In other words if you plan on playing any of the older call of duty games I recommend being completely offline or just using a trusted community client like Plutionium.

Actually, the "Anti-Leave" Feature wasn't using any vulnerability really. The issue lies in the Host-System used. The host has had way too many permissions~
That explains why I can't play Black ops 3 without having to whitelist the files on Bitdefender, otherwise it would always fail to run. I guess the best idea is to use a VM for those older games.

There's so many advertisements in between important points that it's infuriating. Trying to take any amount of this video seriously when there's an ad every 1 minute 30 seconds is impossible.
This exploit works on all Call of Duty games up to Infinite Warfare (2016) which is when Activision finally started using dedicated servers. It's a damn shame these games have an RCE exploit and it's even more of a shame when you consider the fact that Activision has actively dmca striked mods that aim to make these games playable on modern hardware. If you choose to play these games today, please install either Alterware (MW2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare), CoD4X (Call of Duty 4/Modern Warfare 1) or Plutonium (World at War, Black Ops, MW3, Black Ops II)
It was a request, no need for a video, It's harmless, but I did make a vid on the skool where I showed how you can unpack it (easy since it's a modified UPX).
This is Hyper-V with GPU Partioning, usually I use QEMU KVM, but since I haven't had luck with my second GPU, I would have to record from in the VM and that wouldn't work with this.
my main gripe with cod games is the fact they're peer to peer, all of the older cod games being peer to peer despite being AAA titles in the 21st century and not having dedicated server locations is diabolical, peak laziness
I may have gotten hacked or smth, i remember once on mw2 i joined a match and i couldn't exit the game, couldn't press esc to quit, couldn't tab out, couldn't do anything but press power button to be able to leave the match. Since then ive reinstalled windows and fully wiped out all partitions of my SSD. So hopefully im fully safe now.
Speaking of online game hacking, I'm painfully curious about seeing someone breakdown the cheat tools used for Dead By Daylight on the system. Or just anything about Easy Anti-Cheat the game uses. Theres tons of videos advertising these tools and groups and its a bit of a pandemic for streamers with hackers having tools to sort thru lobbies for their names.

What about playing CODs over Plutonium servers? Are they 100% safe as its not P2P? Some AVs detect plutonium.exe as malware and it makes me wonder if there's something shady on there.
I don’t quite understand the question to be honest. Memz gets detected by Defender. Memz was used to demonstrate that an executable can be downloaded and runned without any input of the PC owner.

@@toquita3d Im unaware of any current publicly known rce's on bf3/4/hard-line. Obviously they may exist but public info is mostly just the 2010 bf2/2142 vulnerability and the 2020 punkbuster vulnerability (without using way back and reading old modding forums). The latter could be used to exploit RCE on clients not just servers.
That would stop things from damaging your files etc and even prevent system shutdowns. Still recommended to use a VPN if you're wanting to fully protect yourself and block off access to your chrome/discord/etc data folders in case any stealers run but other than that you should be fine.
If you're interested in only Single player campaign and maybe Spec Ops, Survival, etc., just pirate these games, with full DLCs, through torrenting from trusted scenes. Of course pirating also has its own difficulties and issues, but as long as you search and double check stuff properly, you should be alright.
They added an exe to the game files named CodCleaner that was implemented to assist in stopping a specific way that hackers were using to send worms around to other players PCs
technically you don't need to 'hack' a server to perform RCE. server has to be dumb enough to pass your stuff to other players, but can you really consider that a hack? you don't get control of the server, you just exploit client's vulnerability

I don’t quite understand the question to be honest. Memz gets detected by Defender. Memz was used to demonstrate that an executable can be downloaded and runned without any input of the PC owner. I mean if the Hacker/Cheater has its own malware whatsoever wich is FUD you wouldn’t need to disable defender at all.
@@xyos1337 Oh I didnt know that. I am actually not a Cyber security expert, so what you said makes alot of sense haha -- just a preview maleware to prove RCE. Thx for the education
Dude i was already thinking about buying MW3, any tips in how i can play it on windows 11?, cause i crave to play the survival mode again
Best way to prevent this is to run it in a vm (I use VMware) and if it does get infected you can roll it back.
I believe both AlterWare and Plutonium have updated clients for MW3, which fix exploits
You can play single player no problem
Is Battlefield 3/4 and PunkBuster also vulnerable?
"A Directory Traversal Attack on Punkbuster Server can be Leveraged to Gain Remote Code Execution (CVE-2020-24102, CVE-2020-26037)"
battlefield has been updating some of the older games with the new AC
@@Kenfuy Thanks but that vulnerability is quite old and was patched right away, even before public publication I think. And it also did _not_ affect player installations (only the server was affected).
@@toquita3d Im unaware of any current publicly known rce's on bf3/4/hard-line. Obviously they may exist but public info is mostly just the 2010 bf2/2142 vulnerability and the 2020 punkbuster vulnerability (without using way back and reading old modding forums). The latter could be used to exploit RCE on clients not just servers.
How is this still for sale?
calc.exe, the hacker's Hello World :)
Also MEMZ 💀
will this happn if the pc has memory isolation and encrypted drives all the security from windows set to high?
videoo ?
Why hasn't valve taken these games down
Call of Duty makes Valve a lot of money so they won't get rid of those games. Unless someone sues Activision
What if i use sandboxie, am i safe?
That would stop things from damaging your files etc and even prevent system shutdowns. Still recommended to use a VPN if you're wanting to fully protect yourself and block off access to your chrome/discord/etc data folders in case any stealers run but other than that you should be fine.
@SmilerRyanYT no a VPN will not help, the network packets would still reach you. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to play multiplayer
Now I know how I was hacked
Running it on Linux via Proton is safer?
Wine is not a sandbox.
I miss playing these games on xbox and was thinking of getting them on pc. Would it be safe only playing single player?
if you unplug your ethernet and disable networking and get hacked after doing those steps, I'd be damned
If you're interested in only Single player campaign and maybe Spec Ops, Survival, etc., just pirate these games, with full DLCs, through torrenting from trusted scenes.
Of course pirating also has its own difficulties and issues, but as long as you search and double check stuff properly, you should be alright.
I think on the games with separate single player exe, you should be fine. Just don't open the mp/zombies exe
are campaign and spec ops safe on mw2/mw3
yes
Didnt they patch mw2 this summer for this?
not really
They added an exe to the game files named CodCleaner that was implemented to assist in stopping a specific way that hackers were using to send worms around to other players PCs
interesting video idea, lets see if its an interesting video
edit: very good video Eric thanks.
technically you don't need to 'hack' a server to perform RCE. server has to be dumb enough to pass your stuff to other players, but can you really consider that a hack? you don't get control of the server, you just exploit client's vulnerability
00:56 he said it's peer to peer, means not all stuff goes through server
@@RandomGeometryDashStuff yes but I'm taking about what he wrote on the screen
@@Wolterhonwhen?
Stay Safe online everyone.
🤢 damn Activision
