the fact anyone actually has to do this on a well known franchise game is just ridiculous. completely out of order for them to knowingly allow this to continue
Exactly it's very literally an embarrassment and completely dangerous for the players. And the fact that valve knows about this exploit and it still exists clearly shows malpractice on infinity ward.
@@varnissh1945 The problem with taking the games off the store is they have to refund millions of players or else they will most definitely get sued for robbing the playerbase
@@romanianfps the fact they're perfectly fine leaving the games in the state they are and still selling them for full price is an absolute disgrace and a testament to how disgusting and greedy of a company activision is, not that we didn't know this before anyways.
I was just in a game and someone minimized it and tried to open something on my pc. For the second time this happened to me and I am frustrated cuz I really like MW2 (I have 2600 hours playtime) so I just found your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP, I really appreciate it. I havent been playing the game much cuz o the exploits but all my previous attempts on trying to be safe has not been paying off. I hope this helps and stops people from being salty cuz they get their ass handed to them in a fucking video game. Thank you again
@@romanianfps I definitely subscribed, and this method helped, however I still get my game closed sometimes (without them being able to open my browser) so I guess this particular problem doesnt have a fix
I would not specifically be surprised if this RCE is actually left over in Black Ops Cold War especially in league play, knowing how sloppy Activision has been recently since the harassment lawsuits and the exiting of many team members on both COD and WoW games. There seems to be a plethora of reddit posts outlining things that sound like RCE attacks ( sudden Dev errors and crashes during very close games, arguments between players etc) There probably a vulnerability STILL left over from decades ago because both Treyarch and IW are known to meme levels of never really changing the COD engine, and Cold War actually took a half step back from the MW2019 engine and used a slightly earlier or modified build of it. So if you end up on this video because you're getting suspicious crashes in modern COD games, keep this in mind.
This video is on a similar topic but he says that there is a vunerability in cold war and many other cods, a long video but I think you should check it out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EtTBSlMPzbU.html
actually you were right, vulnerabilities on mw2 2022 and cold war have been founded and even exploited just like they used to in bo1 or 2. Activision really has to make a patch for this situation as in modern games as in old games the important thing is that we CAN play safe
Thanks for this. Hope it helps me, just got RCE'd after hitting 1 shot (no joke, killed one dude) on estate. Luckily I know a bit about pcs so I could realise it. It even happened on stream.
@@notkryptxc that used to be the solution but Activision has been taking down all these clients for old games, like. They really dont care if the people enjoys the game they just want to sell it even if its broken
Thankyou so much!! i got mw2 on pc and found out about the rce exploit stuff only just before i was going to play the multiplayer and everybody said to use iw4x but i wanted to play just normal mw2 and i found this video. :)
Question, ive been playing for like 3 weeks but today when i clicked launch on steam i got a malwarebytes popup saying it blocked exploit code or something. Did I come under attack or was it likely just a false positive if you know, kinda shat myself lmao
Hey, do you know if the max prestige/unlock all theatre clip does this? I've had it open my browser with a webpage to some guy his website with a video telling me it was just to notify me that everything was unlocked but I feel like there was more to it, my PC randomly started to alt tab out of windows when I was afk a few days after I watched the clip(s) I reset my PC and deleted all of my files but I'm still a bit paranoid even though stuff such as Malwarebytes show 0 detections after clean installing. Kind of ridiculous this is a thing and it's baffles me that it's not patched yet
I'm honestly convinced that it's also possible via clips because the same exact thing happened to me. But I think there is a limitation as to what you can do via clips obviously.
@@Kashiiera Well if you want to be realistic malware is so advanced today it could potentially hide itself in the bios. But I truly doubt anyone doing RCE on a call of duty game has that knowledge or capability without some type of help. Either way I wouldn't worry anyway my guy, most people doing RCE are just opening screens, not infecting you with malware. It's still a very large problem though.
Great video and information, but where is the discussion and evidence that this is truly effective against the known serious exploits in MW2 2009? Do we have programmers/exploit experts talking about it saying that makes it safe enough to play normal multiplayer?
I just had that happening to me. Suddenly a bunch of console windows opened, my browser opened with 2 tabs which Bitdefender blocked. Immediatly shutdown my pc plugged my router off. Ran a complete scan, looked fine.
Most likely if your browser opened up they were just trolling you. Most people don't Infect someone's PC after opening up a browser. They'll just do it in the background.
@@romanianfps yeah it tried to open some kind of jumpscare website. I have 2-facto auth everywhere but will check my login histories the coming days. Especially the financial ones.
When i do this for steam bo3 once i start the game it close immediately, i only have the protection on steam.exe, does having steam only protection works the same or do i need to add every game from the steam platform too?
If you are using a client the exploit could still work, but some clients have physically taken the code out of the game that allows the exploit. This does work on BO3 however it isn't a 100% fix.
i added the shields thing to other cods and everytime i open one of those apps it opens in logs but u said if they had attempted to rce exploit me so what does this mean?
Have you seen the potential RCE that hit Apex Legends Players at the NA regional Finals, Genburton/Imperial Hal. Maybe youve already seen this. Would you recommend this malware for apex legends?
I wish they would just patch RCE. I'm tired of playing IW4X. I know it's safer but god it's not fun to play when snipers dominate because flashbangs are banned in most servers
@@Seecret its their fucking job to keep the code, the game is not even 2 decades old, NO excuse, they can still fix it by reverse engineering, fan clients do that and much more with 0 knowledge or budget, and youre telling me the developers, drowning in cash, cant do it?
People are crazy, I've had a mod on the only active BO1 HC CTF server ban me twice now just because I did better than them. Small dick energy for sure.
i'm not getting VAC'd for using this program? and is this still useful nowdays? (sorry for so many questions like this, i'm a little bit paranoid person).
I played one of the CoD single player campaigns thru steam for like 30 min and forgot to go offline before doing so. Was my PC vulnerable during that time? Do hackers manually need to do whatever damage they want (ie not an automated programme) I'm uninstalling the game and throwing away the key after learning about the exploits/Activision clusterfuck
You cannot get rced through campaign. You can only get rced when they are in your lobby and getting rced is unlikely if your not a target. If you have not noticed anything different on your pc after you played then you should be good after a virus scan.
Can you get one of these attacks if you only play to the game's main story mode and never actually play the online mode? Is there something that forces you to connect to a server while playing on Steam that the hackers would use?
Youl be fine in campain, the hackers are not sifting thru a database of story mode players to do this when theres people online to do it to at any given time
Let's say I don't have the anti rce or that the anti rce fails and that someone rce's me, how do I stop them? Do I close mw2? Do I shut down my entire pc? I've not found any answers to this man, I'd appreciate if you could tell me
There is nothing you can do you are very literally fucked. At this point depending on the method you use, there is no general consensus on what is possible. I've had files placed on my desktop and recycle bin, yet my friend experienced files being deleted, while others literally have their information stolen from their browser. You cannot stop them 100%, this is due to infinity ward as well as Activision not caring. The only way to stop it is to not play call of duty period.
@@romanianfps strange, asking other people online I've been told that because your pc is off, the one doing the rce no longer has access to your pc as there is no more connection
@@nj828 That is correct however when you turn your computer back on is a different story. Who knows exactly what the exploit did. For example if they were to drop files that auto run apon startup, and are persistent, that is a way bigger issue.
@@romanianfps so let's say I install your fix which I've been told is very effective but not a 100% protection+check every 2 mins or so nobody is messing with my pc, would you say this would be a good protection against rce's, as soon as I'd see someone messing with me I'd turn off the pc, if I turn it back on before he has done anything weird does the rce'r still have access to it?
@@nj828 Well here is the thing though. My tutorial only stops RCE from occurring depending on the type of exploit they are doing. It is never a 100% guarantee. What I can tell you is that each time someone has tried it on me my game instantly closes. Then it pops up on the log list after my game closes. So checking the log list every few minutes is pointless. At the end of the day if they did fully infect your computer you wouldn't know until it's too late. But I'm being dead serious I've had people try it on me multiple times and it closes my game completely before they can do anything each time.
I wouldn't be worried it's likely just a log from the game or your system itself, see what the log contains, report back your findings to me and I can give you an opinion
I Played for 8 hours yesterday, My game froze for like 4-5 seconds after 6 hours playing, I thought It was weird but I thought It was ok. Searched bo2 2021, and Found a Guy saying that he plays Plutonium because old CODS people could infect your PC. So I looked for this, and Found out that before people having their wallpaper changed and etc, their game froze too, but my PC seems OK, nothing has changed yet. It is possible I got RCE'd? I'm having to play with 200ms to Found a lobby, but after knowing about this exploit, I'll never play It again, I'm so Sad that I was doing a RTD :/
i know a whole group of people on BO2 who use RCE exploits and they literally go around and uninstall windows off peoples pc's and infect them with viruses. if us see usernames: Rosie, Vortex, Gamer, 360, or xbox360, or anything related to those usernames u should leave the lobby immediately. most of them are from the uk. they cant do anything to you at all though if you have an ip spoofer. so if you dont want to do everything in the video just download an ip spoofer.
🤣🤣🤣 the exploit is not based off your IP address. Spoofing your IP is not going to do anything. Other than that we don't do no types of snitching around here bro bro. Just follow the tutorial and move on with your day no need to drop names.
Jesus I played with a hacker called Rosie on MW2 and even intentionally pissed them off (because that's what I do to idiots) but I did back down after they crashed my MW2 once and after I rejoined I got on their good side. I feel like I dodged a bullet.
@@-aku2805 definitely dodged a bullet all those guys recently crashed all of the BO2 servers permanently. So if you have bo2 you can no longer play on dedicated servers through matchmaking on steam. It will just say no lobbies found forever.
I added a shield for Black Ops 4 and now it won't even boot. This is after i got rced, maybe the guy installed something that boots when i launch bo4 so by having this it detects it and does not let me open it ?
@@gabgonza47 i couldnt find any solution, i verified files, re-installed, also tried with black ops 3 and coudlnt open it either, the only solution was not using the program at all.
You can solo any game. The attacker needs a connection to your pc which he has due to being in a peer to peer network or unsecure server in online matches.
I promise I’m not asking to be a smart ass, I’m asking because I have 0 clue when it comes to most stuff like this (besides basic computer shit), but how would I know if this is safe to download? I’ve been hacked before bad enough to where they got my bank info, so I’m extremely safe about what I download nowadays lol.
This is actually so messed up. The amounts of time I was exposed without realizing... I met some dude telling me about it on the COD Zombies discord and he was telling me all about this and I was shocked. I'll spread the word about this video. It's more messed up given that a company as wealthy as Activision simply allows this. Specially that today they are owned by Microsoft. I know Activision themselves have no support number but I wonder if calling Microsoft themselves could work to start spreading the word.
Microsoft is aware of the issue but there is nothing they can do about it because Activision as well as Infinity Ward have already put out statements. They refuse to fix the issue in older games and the exploit works even for newer call of duty games as well. Calling Microsoft would do nothing because the tips they would give you do not stop the exploit. Even the method in this video is not a 100% fix. It just stops the more simple ones but it's still something.
That's actually insane that they put out statements and saying they won't do anything about it and still selling copies. Do you know where I can find the statements? just curious@@romanianfps
@@johna2228 no kicking is done through a call to SV_DropClient on the server and as mw2 is p2p whoever is host controles the server, and on games like bo2/bo1 there is dedicated servers so the only way to kick someone is either by having acess to rcon or executing code on the server through a memory corruption vunrability in both cases there is nothing you can do to stop it
probably no, but honestly if you just gonna play private matches dont even buy the game just download the plutonium version and play with your friends for free.
@G4RY With a Captial Four He is probably talking about a general source code to actually execute the RCE exploit itself but he most likely added certain options in like control player, suicide player, freeze game, etc.
This is only basic end point protection and will not stop this completely anyone with allot of knowledge in binary exploitation will be able to get passed this, the only way to stop it is to find the vulnerability in the games network handling and patch it out of the game
Try my tutorial and you will see that it works. I've even had multiple people test it on me in not only BO1, but BO2 and MW2. It instantly closes the game out and gives you a notification that the game is now protected.
@@romanianfps yeah cus there not trying to bypass this techeque, i know the exploits on those games i know how it works lol, people are just gunna improve there method, people didnt have rce in the windows kernel last year because this is impossible to get through lol
@@zer0-w7l Either way if that is the case, this is still a good step to stop it. It is better than not doing anything at all to prevent it. What I can tell you from my experience and based off other witness accounts, this method has worked for me on every Call of Duty game.
@@romanianfps looking at the documentation for exploit mitagation its even weeker than i thought lol mandatory aslr only adds entropy if the image is compiled with it on so that not great and same with Control flow guard so thats bassically useless and stack pivot protection only check specific api calls so this really isnt gunna last long but yes it is better to do this than not
@@zer0-w7l As far as I've concerned I've not been able to see anyone bypass this yet. Until I see otherwise my opinion stays the same, agree to disagree. At the end of the day if someone has the potential to bypass not only Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit but even Windows Exploit Protection, than you are screwed no matter what. This is by far the best tutorial you can follow as a basic consumer to keep yourself generally safe. Unfortunately this tutorial is all we can do as basic level consumers to protect ourselves online.
the people in these comments are funny asf just in case any of you don't know about black ops 3 and its history RCE is known for (Remote Control Excution) it provides you full access to the games servers/people in the lobby. With RCE you can crash people,fake vac ban them/turn off your pc,blue screen you/inject a dll,look through your pc(delete files/can excute files) they can also change your wallpaper,open up chrome or any exe on your pc without your permission. Also RCE lets you have god mode,superspeed,any prestige,all dlc camos,pull people into your lobby,unlimted ammo,and much more. Also Black Ops 2 severs are now owned by Xbox360LSBEST and Gamer1772 this means they have full access to everything at anytime and they can really harm you. Dont worry theres more there are a total of 5 people i belive have rce xbox360,gamer 1772,Rosie,Gamer(Differnt Person then Gamer1772),furtive,and couple other unknowns. Just Don't Play BO2 Unless you wanna be killed and destroyed by cheaters/hackers
@@souls976 Bud it does help against RCE, I've had xbox360 try to exploit me and it failed. I've also had three other people attempt it as well and it failed. It instantly closes the game and I am immediately told an attempt to exploit occurred. Stop blaming the people who are doing the RCE and blame infinity ward and Treyarch for not fixing it even after basically a single person shut down an entire game.
@@romanianfps your hilarious i like the face you ignore my question and im not blaming them i'm telling everyone on this video the truth and also this still doesn't keep exploits from happening you got proof of this?
Because if you buy a game you should have the right to play without having your computer affected by other players. Therefore I made this tutorial for those who don't want to make the switch.
@@Those2menoverthere Logically when you purchase a game that also means that you have consumer rights. I have never once in my entire life heard of purchasing a game that can also allow other players to physically affect your machine through an exploit. That shouldn't be ok in any circumstances regardless. No where in the terms of conditions does it say that we must fend for ourselves 11 years after the game's release.
they are way less populated. I love MW2 and IW4x, but 4x has literally zero domination games for over a year, and probably longer than that, unless it's on a server across the world from me having 120-200 ping, which i haven't seen either. Only 1 EU TDM, and 2 US TDM then some trickshot lobbies and that's it, whereas on Steam there are up to 20 active matches and you can force host domination lobbies there too
How the fuck are people able to hack into othe pcs from just being in the game with them? Im not sure the steps that would have to happen because its so elaborate, they would need to essentially like host the lobby then get ppls pcs connected to them im assuming? Ok so thats step 1… then how in the actual donkey fuck do you take it from them being connected to actually taking over there pc? I cant even picture the process theres gotta be a million hoops to jump thru to make that happen. Whoever made this exploit did it for a reason id bet to get back at some people
some psychos with no life who got beaten up when they were little get theyre revange by destroy the fun for other people in gaming. i would beat the fckng shit out of them if i had the chance
What do you mean exactly? RCE exploits and hacks are simply a result of vulnerabilities that were present in the game's code from the beginning. Those vulnerabilities were eventually discovered and now any loser can capitalise on them.
