Exploiting Anarchy Online
Welcome
Security researchers Dan Caselden and Gabriel Landau at Independent Security Evaluators recently uncovered two security vulnerabilities present in the popular new and entertaining online game, Age of Conan, produced by Funcom. It was then determined that the game's equally engrossing predecessor, Anarchy Online, contains the same two vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities allow an attacker to read arbitrary files off of a victim's computer, crash the games during online play, and in the case of Anarchy Online, fully compromise a victim's machine giving the attacker full control of the targeted computer.
