DonkeyKongerko Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 The cheat method isn't working anymore. I don't think you should take the "Vote Accepted" screen as proof it is working. Once in a while I mistype the validation key and hit submit before I can fix it. The "Vote Accepted" screen still comes up even though I am pretty sure they reject the vote. I think we should all go back to voting the honest way, it's just too risky otherwise. I just voted about 350 times the right way and will do some more later this evening.

witesoxfan Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I think that MLB should just let this go. If we as fans are smart enough to figure out a way to do this and want our man in there that much, then they should just give us the privelege to do whatever the f*** we want to.

IlliniKrush Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Lordy, a 6 page thread...you would think it would be that the white sox have packaged colon and maggs and sent them to the dogers for gagne, green and mota. Instead, it's on how to cheat to get Thomas in the all star game. To you people who figured this out, good job...this is pretty funny stuff. If and when Frank makes it, hopefully by a ridiculous margin, i'm going to be snickering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSOX45 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Okay, there is now validation code on this webpage, do we just make up one? CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSOX45 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Whoops nevermind, I read that it enters one for you.....at least I hope it does. Do they give updates each night on how many votes each guy has? CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 OK, the validation checker on the mlb vote applet is definitely broke now. And the poster who noted that the previous code is part of the return URL is observant. Right now you do need a number in the code field, but it can be anything and it still seems to register a vote. I would like to bypass manual entry of the code, but it would be nice to know these votes are counting. What do the code warriors here think?

Instead of clickin back just click "vote again" it still saves your info and gives u a validations key!!!! CWSOX45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 The ability to exploit the voting process at mlb is gone out the window. They plugged the hole real good! Getting a vote accepted screen is NOT a sign of a valid vote. Dudes, they wouldn't go through the trouble of making use of key encryption for votes if it was as simple as resending the same URL over and over. I'm convinced now that a valid vote is the byproduct of 3 keys : x, z, & ui. ui replaces y. The hole they plugged was that y was a variable being set in the client app when the encryption was performed. So making use of that variable you could auto-gen valid x, y, & z values for votes. That's no longer possible. The verification key itself (3rd part of the encryption key) only appears as an image from the encryption routine. There's no way to automatically copy & paste it to ui. If you try to use the old mlb form, it won't return any keys. They changed the code on the server & removed y altogether. The best thing to do now is to reduce the content so that you can speed up the vote process. It's easy to do in an html editor. You still need to enter the verif key but moving back to the vote page from the confirm page takes less time. I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST .. generating RANDOM NUMBERS for the VERIFICATION KEY! Remember it's 1 of 3 parts for the encryption key for a valid vote. When they count the votes, they are going to run a script to discard all the bad encryption keys. I know I would. Especially if I changed the code 2 days into the voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonFan Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Good to see that the White Sox fans feel that is necessary to cheat in order to get their player into the game. I bet Varitek will still win, even with you people adding massive amounts of votes. [sarcasm] Nice job. [/sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
