[Feedback] Spying Over Stream + Packet Sniffing [Merged]

[The Light In The Darkness.1619480535]

As the tittle says, every time i play a sPvP round i find myself facing the same opponent over and over again ... Sometimes i even get bots in my team or in opponent team ... You can easily tell because the class icons keeps blinking on the mini map. Not to mention all those hackers trying to breach through my motherboard / BIOS / client / antivirus.

Open CMD in Administrator Mode :

Then type :

netstat -a -b -n -o

Open another CMD in Administrator Mode :

tasklist

I have run both of them and the results are extremely surprising.

YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO UPDATE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO PLAY THE GAME TO THE FOLLOWING :

1) BUY NEW COMPUTER2) CHANGE CITY3) CHANGE ISP4) CHANGE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER5) DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE6) BUY NEW SSD7) INSTALL ANTIVIRUS8) INSTALL .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5

Some commanders use silly methods to locate enemy zergs ... WvW is currently unplayable ... Ether it is Stream Spying, Packet Sniffing or 3rd party .dlls

[Dawdler.8521]

Complaining about "stream spying" is like complaining that people can see you naked while you are on a nudist beach.

[Nokomis.5076]

I'm sorry, but this is utter nonsense.

"Not to mention all those hackers trying to breach through my motherboard / BIOS / client / antivirus."Please show any proof, that something like this is happening on your computer AND is related to guild wars

"I have run both of them and the results are extremely surprising."Why? What do you see? A long list of processes you do not know because they are Microsoft processes?

"YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO UPDATE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO PLAY THE GAME TO THE FOLLOWING :"The complete list is stupid.

Yes, there are cheaters in the game. But that doesn't automatically mean they are trying to hack your computer or anything.

[Optimator.3589]

You know you can put a delay on your stream, right?

Also, stop trying to avoid fights. Fights > capping empty towers.

[LetoII.3782]

I thought the whole purpose of streaming gameplay was for it to be viewed...

[Sovereign.1093]

if you dont want ppl to view your stream, ex. enemies, then don't do it. Record and post after.

The fact that you deny the existence of such exploit automatically demonstrates you are supporting this kind of behavior which is against the terms of service.

Only 4 answers ? I was expecting 5 of them ! Anyway ... Yes SPYING THROUGH HARDWARE is a thing. If the appropriate IPs and Ports corresponding to the NVIDIA / ATI Drivers arent blocked anyone with a minimum linux skills can just exploit this data or even track your movement and the next time you buy your GPU at your favorite local store don't be surprised to not see the tag of the NPC ... errr i mean the vendor ...

Dont worry, just run your driver through a VPN and the put a hardware firewall on the graphics card.

Also vaccinate your comp. Don't be one of those anti-vaxxed flat-earthlings.

:oHe's a skritt, right, but this doesn't mean he's breaching anything. Some screen shot would be nice, if you have some real issue, to understand better.Someone may sniff your traffic for real and you may have some virus, but this doesn't mean it's ArenaNet's fault...EDIT: nvm, I saw your other thread in the PvP section. I got your problem now. Stop streaming or put a delay, if you don't want to be spied.

[mindcircus.1506]

Twitch has a stream delay function.Use it when playing competitive modes.

... <,<That's the most overcomplicated way of pinwatching I've seen to date, well done.

Reality is far less involved

Yeah, not sure anyone but maybe Cloud Fly would care to put that much effort in 2018 (although he just whispers people or uses an alt account anyway...). Even still I don't think he does "spying" much anymore.

we just bomb the frontline of the attacking party. usually ends it right there.

You t4 guys really do know how it's done, don't you?

Hardware-based spyware is virtually undetectable and unless you have a masters in information security, which I'm assuming you don't, it's tantamount to paranoia to suspect it. More than likely there's a spy in the zerg or, as others said, you're streaming in real time.

[Svarty.8019]

Hahaha what a pathetic thing to do, shouldn't these expert hackers be robbing banks or ... hang on... my money is in a bank. Forget that!

enemy commander position is worth more, got to deliver him my bag of loot in time.

[Chaba.5410]

Pin-watching is lame, but this has got to be one of the more paranoid explanations.

[Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365]

game is what, 6 years old? it takes like 4min tops to run from one end of a map to the other, 1 third of the maps are covered with watchtower tactics.. if enemies are watching your streams its defo not to locate your zerg, but rather to hear you whine

You, Sir, should be banned from using the internet until you are at least 18 years old (and by the way playing GW2 while being under 13 is also against the User Agreement). You obviously neither understand the simplicity of was a livestream is nor showing any sense of decency.
