Eve Online source code leaked
Pirate Bay posts the lot
THE THE FULL SOURCE CODE for the client of popular MMORPG Eve Online has been made available on P2P site Pirate Bay.
Along with the torrent there is a chat transcript which claims to be between 'Morpheus' from Eve’s developer, publisher CCP and the poster of the code.
The source code publisher seems to have been miffed that CCP's security is not up to scratch and the way that it is too easy to use Bots and scripting in the game.
According to Dreamnotoftoday.com the only security in the system appeared to be ROLE permissions for logins with privileges higher than usual player, and some minor things in relation to prevent some remote service calls.
Morpheus seemed to be telling the poster to publish and be damned, although reportedly, anyone who dares to even mention the code leak on any of the CCP forums is finding themselves banned. µ

Banned For Seeding
Reading the comments on the pirate bay article it seems they are also monitoring the torrent on TPB and banning anyone found seeding it as wellNot source code
That's not the source code. It's a python script written over the engine.Well not really...
Since this is just the client code, most of which is sat in plain text in the client directory. This guy is just trying to become an e-celebrityTorrenters getting the axe too
It would seem that all those that have downloaded through torrents have gotten permabanned from Eve Online.Don't worry, I am sure they will blame BoB....
What can I say? This sucks for EVE Online if someone uses it to exploit the game. And I hope the devs DO ban everyone they catch using it or downloading it. EVE isn't WoW or EQ2 where there are no ingame consequences for whatever you do. Anything you do in EVE has repercussions in whatever you do in the game.got source, what else was snatched
uhm, forgive my simple mind, but if they got deep enough into the network to get the companies IP ( source ). Why has no one asked the next logical question of, " are the user accounts, and financial information ( bank accounts and credit card information )Signed,
Anony Mouse
The Misinformation runs rampant
It's python scripts, easily decompilable from the client. Someone wanted 15-minutes of fame and the intarweb gossipers/bloggers were glad to give it to them. Joke's on you.
Propaganda
You people are idiots if you think they are logging IP addresses of people downloading this code and then cross referencing them with online users to ban. First of all, that wouldn't work one bit due to the fact that most people have dynamic IP addresses and could simply claim they have never downloaded this torrent.And second, this so called code isn't really worth anything to the players and doesn't hurt the integrity of the EVE Online game.
WTF?
What the f***?How do you get banned from a -GAME- for using torrents...?
It's not like you have to punch in your -GAME-'s username/password to download the torrent, and subsequently, you don't have to admit to using torrents when you log into the game...
Saying people are getting banned in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT program, for using torrents, is stupid.
And silly.
ostar failed to cliq the L'inq, clearly.
>What the f***?>How do you get banned from a -GAME-
>for using torrents...?
From the L'inq (provided in the article);
"In addition, reports are being posted that CCP is seeding most of the torrent themselves, then using the IP addresses of those who download the client’s source code to ban Eve Online accounts."
Not saying that I believe this is happening necessarily, just wanted to highlight that it's bittorrent tracking, and correlating with users of e.g. an online game is relatively straightforward....
All about the I.P. address, bro.
(Most people don't use proxies or tor).
