GRAAL

LEFT GRAAL

2011-11-26T16:27:00.000-08:00

IT'S sad that I've left graal after all these months of finding glitches. Not many people read this any more, so those who do, please spread the word! I'm not quitting. I'm just playing another game called "The world of Magic". I play on the Turtlez server, with one of three names: Ged, Lyle, or Silius (gonna change to sylius soon).
Also, watch fooly cooly episodes 1-6. Great anime, but it makes no sense. Download all six episodes a here. It's a torrent, so use a Torrent client like BitTorrent to download it. You will end up with six .mkv files each one being an episode. Each file contains the video, two audio channels (Default is japanese, other is english), and english subtitles. I recomend watching them with VLC media player. Once you open a file with it, press 'a' until the aspect ratio is 4:3. Then 'b' to switch audio to english. Then in video menu, disable subtitles (or, if you would like to understand it a bit better, don't (there really is no point in changing it to english. It makes the same amount of sense in english) ). Then press 'f' to put it in fullscreen and center the picture. φ

DECODED TRANSPERENT BACKGROUNDS!

2011-09-18T21:11:00.000-07:00

This is for status and guild news.
OK, so everybody should know by now how to make transparent backgrounds. But is what I did was figure out how to make any color and set the transparency to that color!!!

Here is a table of the format:

#RxGxBxA.png
R=red G=green B=blue A=alpha x=any character, they don't matter.
each of the values accepts 0-f (like hex). one thing to keep in mind is that the color for blue starts at 1 and goes up to f, where it loops back to 0, unlike green and red, which both start at 0. The higher the alpha value, the less transparent the color will be.

So, an example: #90f010f should make a almost completely opaque orange.

I AM LOOKING FOR RECRUITS

2011-09-18T16:08:00.000-07:00

I found my old udid, and now I have Kurupt back!!! I would apriciate any recruits who want to join my guild. That's where all the action is happening! Just contact me, the leader of kurupt, for more info.

UNBANNED FROM CLASSIC

2011-09-08T21:03:00.000-07:00

Good news! I got unbanned from my year long ban after only 321 days! I'm back now, with a few new glitches, and am looking to make a succesful guild. After I get unbanned for the month that I got banned for "Attempting to glitch currency and other fun stuff. Multiple acc." (wtf??? that was the ban reason...), I will be making my own guild. I also remembered my old 40 digit udid address, so I will be having my 2k hours and my old look with me! Just pm me if you have any ideas or anything that you would like to suggest, such as guild names (nothing with assasins, newbs, killing, or anything dorky).φ

TRAINER

2011-09-05T14:03:00.000-07:00

Guys, (and gals), please don't be worried about me. I'm learning c++ and I'm have a surprise up my sleeve. I'm going to make an open source graal trainer. I can't tell you anymore until I get it made and get a licence for it, but it's going to be extremely powerful.

This project will take me many months possible, and I need some coders who know c++. If you are willing to help, contact me at haxis@lavabit.com. I have a few ideas for it, although I probably won't make a gui for it unless somebody else wants to help me out.

This will be my last thing I do with graal, and I will attempt to update the trainer once a month... I can't tell you much more, largely because of how early in design it is.

I hope you all share your support with me and my soon to be development team.φ

SNES

2011-08-26T20:49:00.000-07:00

I went to Cart'm yesterday and found a Super Nintendo! These systems were the penticle of retro gaming, the transition between blocky pixel graphics to smooth, life-like prerendered graphics. This system included games such as Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Metroid, And The Legend of Zelda, Link to the Past (Which Graal is based off of). Unfortunatly, the console came in very bad condition, with so called "Candle wax" (it feels, smells, looks, and tastes like grape juice...) spilled in and on the console.

I have finally breached those super annoying security bits with melted pens and lighters (please leave a comment if you're wondering what I mean). I am now in the process of refurbishing the god damn thing. I bought it for $8, and I'm not about to let that go to waste.

If you want to play the real Graal, try Link to the Past.

AM I QUITTING?

2011-08-06T19:17:00.000-07:00

IT feels as if I am quitting graal. I've been working on my NES rom archive, and if anybody is interested in it, I would be happy to email my archive to anybody.φ

LOOKING FOR PROGRAMMERS

2011-07-24T14:51:00.000-07:00

IN my quest to learn C++, I have decided that having a few /talented/ programmers around to make a few packages to cheat Graal and further the development of reborn would be greatly appreciated. Anybody who knows, or is trying to learn, C++, C, Java, Flash, Perl, Python, or any other scripting language would be a great help to me.φ

SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY

2011-07-24T14:15:00.001-07:00

I'VE not been on much lately because of some difficulties with my Linux computer, and the fact that I'm teaching myself C++! I'll be on more now that I have got this to work...φ

GRAAL REBORN RUNNING

2011-07-12T20:56:00.000-07:00

I got Graal Reborn running on linux using wine! Now I will start up again on my server. If you are interested in helping me with this, just email me with a subject of 'GAP' and a body telling me what time (either in UTC or pacific standard time).φ

EMAIL ME

2011-07-10T22:51:00.000-07:00

IF you are emailing me to join my graal reborn server team, please have the subject "GAP". Thank you. Otherwise I may not see it.φ

I'M NOT DEAD- YET

2011-07-10T14:51:00.000-07:00

I'M still playing graal! I recently formatted my hard drive, and forgot to backup a few files, so I lost nalin's relay. What do you people want me to do? I'm mostly working on linux right now, but I'll be back. φ

JOEY'S HOSTING UP

2011-06-27T00:01:00.000-07:00

FINALLY, Joey's hosting is back up! Now anybody who wishes to join my server, figure out (by yourself or with somebody's help) how to get onto the graal reborn server haxis!φ

NOT ON MUCH

2011-06-18T14:19:00.000-07:00

BECAUSE of some other stuff that I have been working on (building a nice linux system), I have not been on much. Love yal... if somebody who is my friend sees this, email me!φ

JUST HACKING

2011-05-30T00:42:00.000-07:00

I have just been hacking a bit. I think I will start targeting the graal online servers, try to get the npc server and gserver. I am currently building my Arch Linux system, so I won't be doing much. I fixed my ipod. I will get back onto graal at some point or another.φ

HACKING WITH AN IPOD

2011-05-29T01:43:00.000-07:00

Many people may not know this, but I used to run a dual boot on my computer (linux and windows xp). Due to how Winblows sucked (and still does), I was forced to learn how to use linux.

The thing about linux is it's the hacker's OS. It's completely open source, and you can do so much more stuff with it in terms of hacking than you can do with windows (or mac).

Anyways, for those of you who are true hackers (probably none of you are) here is a simple guide for setting up your ipod to hack. I was too lazy to make one myself, so go ahead. Indulge. And please, this is for Hackers, not crackers.φ

JAILBREAK IPOD

2011-05-28T21:13:00.001-07:00

If you are running 4.0.1 firmware or below, go here to jailbreak it.φ

DUAL BOOT ON IPOD

2011-05-28T17:41:00.000-07:00

I am going to do a dual boot on my ipod touch, so I can run 3.1.2 firmware (my favorite firmware) and 4.x (which seems to have some extra features). This will allow me to run so many more things, and guess what? I finally found how to get my old udid back!!! I will be on in about a day or so!

Then I will continue with the glitching.φ

HACKER SYMBOL

2011-05-28T17:26:00.000-07:00

THE hacker emblem is super stupid. It represents something called a glider, which is a spaceship in conway's game of life. here it is:

Now that sucks.

THE PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE

2011-05-27T18:32:00.000-07:00

JUST a few months ago Dustin, a relative of mine burgalized my mother's house while she was in a Psychiatric Clinic, and stole tens of thousands of dollars worth of glass, crystal, and clay beads. I've been working on getting some legal evidence against him, (he doesn't even deny it over the phone). The police won't do anything until we get some proof that it was him (we absolutely know it was him). It's because of people like him that babies die and kittens get mauled by bears (to put it in nicer language than I could...).

There are some people who are nice though. Just today, during a visit with my mom (two hours every two weeks, I don't live with her), we went to the Juan de Fuca fair, and bough one elephant ear, half of it Cinnamon, the other half with strawberries and whipped cream. We were in a hurry, because the two hours were almost up, and the visits are supervised. After five minutes the cook (a womain in her late 50's, gray hair, looked a bit native), brought up to ears and gave them to us. At first, I thought she had misheard our order, but she simply said "I miss my boys too", and gave them to us for free!

It was one of the most thoughtful things I have seen somebody do. If only we had more people like that in the world. φ

IPEPSI QUIT!

2011-05-26T23:34:00.000-07:00

"I don't play baby games like graal anymore anyway. <3"

-Anonymous
I assume this is from iPepsi. It's a comment he left in one of my posts. The turquoise color I'm using is simple relief. I know why he quit. I have almost quit too. After his blog, and all of his dissing of me, for some reason I don't feel like he made a big contribution to the hacking community of graal. In fact, I would rank him way down there on the list, mainly due to how he wasn't afraid of giving out everything that he heard, and how he acted (god, can't he just man up? He always argues.).

To celebrate him quitting, the 28th will be "Everybody Loves Graal" day, and "Graal is Awesome" day. I know that many of you felt the loss of him more than I have, and some will probably hate me because the enemy of your friend is your enemy... but seriously, did he actually do anything on his own? Right now that's the stumper of the week. φ

DOWNTIME

2011-05-26T23:18:00.000-07:00

SORRY about the recent downtime. I've finally got accepted at 0000free.com (wow, it's amazing), and switched the domain handler do hicky over to it so that I can manage it all from there. I will now begin creating an file hosting for all of you people, and a forum or something for hacking graal (it will be on forums.haxis.tk), and I will set up a team of people who are good hackers (especially one that specialize in remote access attacks, I would really like to develop a system for stealing servers, or getting rc access to them).

Not much else is going on... so Just be patient! I will work my hardest to find some new glitches for iGraal, but I have been working on some other stuff.

I also am changing my colors to something else than red, now that EHID is officially over!φ

HOUR GLITCH EXPLAINED

2011-05-25T22:05:00.000-07:00

Ahhh, finally I have come up with an explanation of my infamous hour glitch. After extensive research, and then talking to a friend of mine who is extremely good with computers (and hacking), I believe I have found the answer to all of our questions.

The glitch is called a buffer overflow. This is caused when you put something more (or unexpected) in something than it is designed for. For example, a programmer may set the maximum characters for a username to 256. If you put in more characters, say, 1000, and include a script or something similar in those 1000 characters, something will happen due to the inability for the program to handle that many characters.

With the hour glitch, setting your guild tag would put letters in your name, but the word filter would change http to ****. This in turn would make it so that your guild tag was not set (because you needed to have your rank set, and if it wasn't correct, you wouldn't be wearing your guild tag), and then you could do it over and over, until a buffer overload occurred.

The limit is most likely a built-in nickname limit of 256 characters, and so this would work on all servers, given you had a way to set your nick to more characters than that. This is a huge security threat to graal, as somebody could potentially get RC rights for any server, if they knew how to do some scripting and took the time to figure out how to use this correctly.

I would be very happy if somebody was willing to try some of this out for me. The built in limit is most likely 256 characters, and then there are limits imposed by other means which can obviously be bypassed. This could lead to endless exploits, maybe even getting our hands on the current gserver (for all of you graal reborn addicts)! I'll be working on this for a long time.

I am thinking of creating a graal hacking team (like hardcore attacking hacking), one that will try to do some high profile shit... if you are interested, contact me at haxis@lavabit.com φ

WEB HOSTING

2011-05-25T17:37:00.000-07:00

WOW. After searching for an adequate web hosting service, I finally found one that I liked (pain in the ass to sign up though... more of that later). I got 50webs working, and boy am I happy. The free hosting is great, and the control panel looks pretty advanced. I also signed up at VeeServe, which is the same web hosting that graal reborn uses, and it seems to work just fine (go to haxis.tk to see what I'm currently hosting on it). I'm not sure what I'm going to use this stuff for, but I'm sure it will be of some use. φ
