Cabal cracking, dead?
For those who don't know, a few months back Vorbb created an account cracker for Cabal Online. Until recently it was great, we shared the program with users on various communities to use. It was a great program until recently when ESTsoft got a little smarter and made some security modifications for both Cabal US and EU. The reason why I consider Cabal cracking dead now is because of the following reasons; Cabal EU now requires users to have a secure password, at least one uppercase letter and one symbol (!@#$%^ etc). Not only that, but and account gets locked out after only 5 tries so the chances of successfully logging into an account are basically 0. As for Cabal US, for every 200 invalid login attempts your IP gets blocked from logging into the game for 24 days! Can you believe that? Pretty drastic move for a security flaw that could have easily be avoided with a simple captcha. Nevertheless, I don't think Cabal users are willing to get banned for 24 days.
There is however one last option for Cabal US crackers. It's to use a Cracker that has proxy support. Cohen on our forums has made such a thing, it's a console based program that takes usernames, passwords and proxies in three separate text files. This is a good alternative for those users still looking to crack accounts. This is a free download, to go to this thread click here.
