from The Marmot's Hole - Virus attack on eMule from Korea?
| Quote: |
you use eMule, you�ll notice this notice if you use the popular DonkeyServer No. 1 server:
Important notice to korean users : This server (and others as well) suffers from a virus attack from Korea and will shutdown in few days.
Korean users seems to be very stupid people ?, sorry, but the whole network suffers from this.
Anyone know what this is about? |
I found this comment to be interesting

Why yes, I do know a little about it.
They attack in most certainly coming through an eMule client known as �Pruna�. Since Soribada (a horribly designed network btw) was forced to go straight and charge for its music, some enterprising Koreans, did what Koreans are good at. They took the source code and
1. Translated it to Koream
2. Monkeyed it up to require you to enter your citizen registry number along with all your other private information (certainly not needed to log onto the edonkey network)
3. Add some annoying online shopping mall to it when you start it up.
4. Break the terms of the GNU Public License (GPL) by not distribuitng the source code along with their diminished version to the unsuspecting and ignorrant Korean end users.
Oh the Irony of the GPL programmers who desinged a client to illegaly distribute copyrighted material, having thelr copyright tossed to the way-side and their program (eMule) defiled by the �Pruna� programmers. Kind of poetic when you think about it.
Basically most users for it don�t know what eDonkey is, or eMule for that matter. And the version they use by default logs onto �Donkey Server 1″.
Lets hope the users of pruna aren�t bright enough to figure out the little button on the botton right switches which server they are on, (Korean software mentality never empowers the end-user like western software does for some reason) else you will have this virus spreading to the rest of the eDonkey Servers.
But there-in lies your Answer -> Pruna http://search.naver.com/search.naver?where=nexearch&query=%uD504%uB8E8 %uB098&sm=top_sug |
