Introversion

Evening all,

So despite having played defcon for years, I only just realised that this API existed... So now I've actually started looking into it, and I have some interesting idea.

My plan basically is to use Defcon as an Information Warfare simulator. For those unfamiliar with this; think Stuxnet... (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11388018)

So essentially I plan on using the Defcon bot as an server, so that I can farm out functions to different computer systems and networks. Which will then get compromised (or not, if the defenders are doing their jobs...)

So this is a fabulous plan and all.

But the simplebot won't run on my system. This isn't the Almost-defcon bot. This is the one that literally just posts 'Hello World' every tick...

So I compile fine in Visual Studio 2008, then set it up to debug using Defcon as detailed here http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rb1006/project ... umentation

And then I get this lovely error:
Unhandled exception at 0x763cc41f in Defcon.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::length_error at memory location 0x0018bd98..

so If I try and run defcon normally and select the bot, it starts a game, but the bot remains conspicuously silent...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

MODS - please report this guy to FBI or something hes obviously a terrorist involved in cyber warfare.

Ah, fair enough.

Well that's that sorted then. Anyone have any ideas about the error? (To my security focused mind, it almost looks like I could write a buffer overflow exploit for it... Somewhat pointless, as I seem to be the only one with this problem though...)

What lines of code are you using? As I recall, Defcon doesn't like it when you give it too much to do all at once, even if it's the same order over and over.
