BASH

In this first of a two-part edition of BASH with uber-modder {PST}*Joker, we talk about the bizarre and somewhat frightening discovery that one of the community’s rising stars, the 16 year-old wunderkind from the U.K., KILL3R hid a backdoor Trojan in his CoD4 mod K3. With that Trojan, KILL3R could steal server passwords and own the server his mod was loaded on. We say “could” because it was never proven he ever did anything nefarious with this hidden code.

While nothing has ever definitively proven that KILL3R did anything with this hidden access, the mere fact that he stepped over the line separating ethical and unethical software…got himself tagged with the “pariah” label. His mod has been removed from all the “white-hat” websites in the world of CoD, his GUID banned from CoD4 by anti-cheat sites like pbbans and his membership revoked from CoD-PC sites like InfinityWard forums.

Joker brings us the inside scoop on this as he was one of the first people to know about the Trojan and one of the first to slap a ban on KILL3R.

Find out KILL3R’s response to these accusations in the program. We have his full written response to our questions on our portal site: BASHandSlash.com
