![]() So I hope this won’t turn into a flaming war and anyone who willing to share their thoughts and information are very welcome! NOTE: There is not any intentions or meanings pointing fingers at anyone, this is literally out of curiosity and to fill up a hole in the PSKO history. ![]() I am not really sure how everything actually got rolled up to having PSKO running, so please don’t judge me and it would be more then appreciated if someone has some info about the history of the PSKO and willing to share some information and thoughts about this. Someone actually reversed engineered the binaries into source code. ![]() At the time, their protection probably wasn’t that good, meaning someone was able to hack the server and access the repositories of the KnightOnline source code and downloaded everything and then pass it to friends which eventually someone released the source code.NoahSystem employee that had access to source code leaked those files on the internet. Here are some hypothesis's that I think make sense: It also looks as though they decided to ignore the fact that people are using their source code/files hosting their own servers. We also never heard the name of the person that actually managed to get their hands for the first time on the leaked KnightOnline source code? I can understand the reason for staying anonymous because of the risk, but many years have passed since then and seems that Mgame Corporation never bothered about it. The private server communities has been running since 2007-2008 and people have been creating servers like crazy amount of times, but I never saw anyone ever bothered asking or wondered, how we actually got our hands on the KO source code, which is quite crazy when you think about it. Part of my learning about protecting compiled applications from being reversed engineered, a question that I’ve been wondering for a quite a while which crossed my mind once again which brings some questions again and I assume some of you curious about it too. ![]()
