My thoughts on this whole Disconnect Hack and if the way it works that im about to explain then possibly this can't be patched. Okay So first my thought on how the Disconnect Packet works or could work, You know how you log out of the game due to a lag which is basically when nexons server sends a ping to check if your account is still active if there is no "Pong" or reply back it knows to drop your account basically means you log out of the game. Now my thought is lets say the disconnect packet works like first they need the packet of the log out well now all they need is your packet so that they change there log out packet and put your packet in the packet to be dropped which thus, makes you log out. now I have not tested this myself or know if this would work or if it be even possible but since I deal with security i figure this could be a way that could be a problem and honestly not sure how you would even go about fixing this if my thought works. because there would no way to basically log people off the game then.

This isn't exactly right, but I agree that this hack will never be patched. Someone will always find a way around whatever nexon puts up. However, I believe that the party invite d/c has been patched

This is borderline remote hacking, replacing the target with yourself...

Simple fix, nexon designates a unique ID to each person when they log on. Only that ID can send the log off packet. So long as that ID is not identifiable by others the problem would be solved. Although I don't think the DC hack works the way you think it does.

I am almost 90% certain that d/c hack is not about "packet of the log out well now all they need is your packet so that they change there log out packet and put your packet in the packet to be dropped which thus, makes you log out." It is more about disconnecting people by sending them message via whisper or invites. Why? Because the message per second by which the d/c hacker send out is ridiculous (I would say 1000 message per second.) Imagine getting hit by such madness, if you or someone does not have a strong connection or computer, good luck.
