I don't think that custom made keylogers were very hard to make - in
internet you can find article on any subject you want to do : starting
from simple virus, ending with something like that. The only thing I
can't understand is WHY THEY STEALED IT... it looks more like
sabotage.

yes, that's the word for the code now. It is "cursed"... well at least
I would feel that "cursed" feeling if I'd started using that engine\hl
code.

You know, the only thing I'd like to see from the whole leaked code
is VHE source... my dream was to make plugin system for it. Even if
I'll make that - I am not going to distribute it or to make my Hammre
editor :)

t> Hehehe... the file (name omited) is a rar file, like Russia hacker
t> stuff :D
though .rar format was developed by Eugene Roshal (from Russia) that
doesn't mean that "russia hacker" stealed source code. I am from
Ukraine and have friends in other countries (Germany, UK, US) and they
do use WinRAR too. Because it is more useful then WinZip (which even can't
show you zip archive contents parsed into treeview control)

t> About mail user agents:
I use Bat for almost two years. Though I had several problems with it
, but they all were much less serious then those, that could happen
in Outlook. We here sometimes call Outlook - "OutGLUK"... In
translation from russian GLUK is BUG. So basically Ms OutBUG :)
Agree that Bat is not perfect, but it is much better and secure then
Outlook (it also has own virus scan and other "extra" features).

I don't think that compiled leaked source will work with current
media... I guess a lot of additions and optiomizations will be added
to game dll... if so - compiled engine binaries won't be able to use
these game.dll - just remember that mods made on sdk 2.3 won't work on
HL version 1100... But still it's bad - now I guess everyone will have
oportunity to make game of the year.

Best regards,
 Slava
