Taiolu Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 DDproductions83 has successfully made malware that uses fallout 4 as a method of attack, he needs to be banned as soon as possible before he spreads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Di6Te-plqlY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 The only way it spreads is if:He shares how to do it here. He's dumb, but he's obviously not dumb enough to post it here. He uploads it directly to Bethesda.net. Not our problem/not in our control. Or, my favourite option... He uploads it to the Nexus and someone steals it and uploads it to Bethesda.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeoshua Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Kind of sick that anyone actually seems to be okay with this. I am disappointed, really. Do any of you realize the damage this does to the community? It's not a joke. Edited June 17, 2016 by Jeoshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeTheDragon Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Sorry, guys, but I think you're not seeing the same thing as I am. I'm not seeing a malware maker, I'm seeing a whistle blower, that's what it is. a) He doesn't "do" it, he's just showing/warning it can be done.b) He doesn't tell anywhere but to the authorities "how" it can be done.c) Because of b) he's actually helping to "protect" you, not trying to harm you. He may not be the... politest person I know when you read him posting, or hear him talking, but he's not a bad guy by far.He "could" be doing all he showed off in the video, but he does not. Unlike the already pirated and illegally uploaded mods you find on the site DD's, if he ever decides to upload some, will most definitely not brick your console. The thieves' ones though... well, they already do now, but by different means. Why aren't you yelling at them instead? What he found is serious, and, no offense, DD, but anybody with a little understanding of how modding Bethesda games and more-or-less advanced scripting works can easily come up with similar, or different, ways to brick your consoles. Who's to be blamed? The game developer, for again prematurely releasing a project to the public without taking even the basic necessary precautions first. The fact alone that you "can" code something in a script for a Bethesda game mod that can brick your console should be the thing alarming you, not the guy who's informing them and warning everybody else about how easy it can be done now having found out how it can be done. Get a grip. P.S.: @DD, one thing I can't help but wonder though about the whole video in itself. Did he actually screen cap every single one of the like 50 or whatever different attempts he made from the start so he could upload this one video where it worked now, or did he for some reason "know" this one works and screen capped it only because of that? And if so, how did he know? Did he try before? Is there perhaps even a simple way to "un-brick" the console again afterwards that he used before doing it again for the video? Thinking of ways how I could brick your consoles (and I know how they work from my brother's) most of what I come up with I know perfectly well how easily I'll be able to make it undone. Others, however, will first have to know how it was done to even have the chance to know what could be done to undo it. And a little history lesson for example... In good old Oblivion days with scripting and, even up to now not yet closed security holes in the game code, you could really easily end up having scripted a mod where object instances in your game will just keep piling up and your savegame file's size will keep increasing, taking megabytes first, then gigabytes, with no end in sight until the drive is full. We called that "savegame bloating" and set out to fix it on our end, because Bethesda didn't bother to secure it up on their's either. Now with a PC that's not much of an issue, but imagine what might happen when the drive space on your console runs down to exactly "0"? Can their operating system even function still? Will they still be able to boot up again, if the OS cannot ever again run?... These mods weren't made that way maliciously, mind you! They were just scripted without having this in hindsight and many people were simply unaware of it even being a thing. Hell, it still is a thing "today", even in the recent games! Not surprisingly the exact same games mods for which are now pirated and uploaded to Bethesda.net for all of you to rejoice and praise their thieves for their grand community service. And know what? Maybe some of them will still have savegame bloating, as they were made with PC usage in mind maybe even massively so, as the authors were still attempting to fix it and streamline it for use on an XBox when their not-XBox-ready, and like I said thus even "dangerous", PC versions of their mods were pirated and uploaded to you without you even knowing. "This" I call an issue! Not a gentle whistle blower warning everybody that it "can" be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taiolu Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Have you even bother to see DD's posts on bethesda.net and youtube? He wants malware to be his DRM. I just hope for when the malware DRM happens and you guys ban him, you guys go legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iXenite Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Kind of sick that anyone actually seems to be okay with this. I am disappointed, really. Do any of you realize the damage this does to the community? It's not a joke. I share your concerns. DDProductions83 has been able to get away with a lot of really inexcusable behavior. The stuff he has posted here and other places really concerns me. A lot of it could be just mindless chest pounding to inflate his already large ego, but there is also a small chance he could have bad intentions with this. What concerns me even more than him though are the amount of people who seem to agree with the things he says, and want him and others to do stuff like this.

JimboUK Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 He's not released anything that can brick a console, not told anyone how it's done or at any point indicated that he will so what's the problem? if anything he's raised awareness of a potential disaster waiting to happen.

I've learned that he has no capability of bricking consoles, he was just being a troll. He made a post on Reddit saying he just turned off the power strip the console was using (thus, he essentially shut the console off). He didn't brick anything, he just wanted people to think he did to get a reaction. He likes to bait people.
