Its been a long time since I played online games, but the other day I found an old game of mine and started thinking about when I used to play it. I remember I used to run a small server from my PC, which had mods (custom modifications) running. If someone connected that did not have the mod, it would automatically start downloading it to their game root folder. So I started thinking...
Is there a way you could use this to download a payload? Perhaps using a downloader. With popular games like CounterStrike and whatever others are hot right now...I dont know I havent played games in a long time, but I know with hot games there are millions of players, they join servers and download mods daily. So lets say I bound with the first file to be downloaded, as soon as someone connects to my server, boom, they got it. Maybe a custom mod would have to be made for the game. Something small, that would take seconds to download, like a slightly different weapon skin or texture...I dont know. Just throwing it out there. Someone who knows about game modding would help more. The thing is, when someone is downloading a mod through a game, they don't even see what the fuck they are downloading, seems like a waste of potential. Anyway...the end.
