0.3 Released!

[Gannon8]

There appears to be a worm in some of the .svn directories and some other files. I downloaded a fresh copy from the SVN server and scanned it. The complete log is attached, the infected files are here:

./disc_client/zones/.svn/text-base/test.svn-base: Worm.Stration.WR FOUND
./disc_client/zones/test: Worm.Stration.WR FOUND
./disc_client/bin/zones/.svn/text-base/test.svn-base: Worm.Stration.WR FOUND
./disc_client/bin/zones/test: Worm.Stration.WR FOUND
./disc_client/old/Unit Tests/Modules/.svn/text-base/ModuleManager.dll.svn-base: Worm.Stration.WR FOUND
./disc_client/old/Unit Tests/Modules/ModuleManager.dll: Worm.Stration.WR FOUND

 

A couple days after downloading, a worm appeared on my system that messed with my Windows Explorer settings and copied itself onto my USB drive. Still trying to get it off of my system. I don't know if discretion is the cause, but the only other virus my scanner detected was CSEdit.exe, which I know is safe.

EDIT2: One of the computers in my class had a worm on it, which transferred itself onto my thumbdrive. This worm isn't affiliated with the discretion virus.

 

Scanned with ClamAV

I have confirmed the virus.

that's not good, my virus scanner doesn't pick it up even if I manually scan the file :/. Is the binary release on sourceforge okay?

Yikes! I checked my pc and no registry entries matching the viruslist data. Edited April 19, 2009 by Sass

Nope, It's affected.

I have confirmed the virus.

Did you confirm it using ClamAV or another virus scanner?

 

Like Sass, I checked for the malicious executable in my system directory as well as the registry keys and don't see it. It may be a false positive, but I took off the binary from sourceforge as a precaution while we figure things out.

I've heard of at least one program which uses auto-update functionality being caught as false-positives on certain virus scanners (since some viruses include capability to download new programs.) Might want to keep that in mind. Edited April 20, 2009 by Kilo

I do not believe the auto-update program would be in a file called "zone/test" not the module manager, so I do not believe that is the problem.

okay! 0.32 has been rereleased. The suspected worm files have been deleted (I still say it was a false positive but who cares they weren't being used); the svn should also be clean. There's also an update to allow continuum-style custom tilesets, and we have a new map and tileset in the test zone thanks to Sass (thanks Sass)!!

Great, thanks a lot

 

I will get onto making that star background rendering program. I am working on 50 different things at once so

Keep up the work, It's looking good so far. I'm on linux waiting for a good linux SS client. love and peace.

[Russky]

Awesome client you've got going here, does it connect to any other zones? Common zones that everyone plays?
