Any tips for finding bugs?

I've been inspired and want to try to find a bug of my own. Does anyone have any tips how I should start? I've got some programming (java, C++) and cracking knowledge, but I get the feeling that wont be much help in this endeavor...


Edit: I'm not asking how to perform any bugs already found.

 

i dont think java, c++, etc. will help with finding bugs... just whenever a new update is released go to the update and try doing things mods wouldnt normally do there that could hypothetically give you an advantage, eventually you might find one that works

 

Just need to wait for a new Graphic Update And try every thing most glitches that are found are done by Mistake.

 

can do. thanks

 

Build a lag switch and have fun xD

 

^ lots of fun.

 

How do you build a lag switch? sorry for the noob question If you know just pm me and explain there.

There's some basic info

Good luck!

 

There is no way you will be able to perform a bug with a lag switch. Your client will fuck up sure, but no one will see anything happening and it will be useless.

I don't recommend starting to bug abuse these days. If you didn't start before early 2008, you're likely gonna end up being an annoying leacher performing known graphicals all day.

 

who said I'd be posting the bugs here?


besides that, I have no interest in wasting my time doing something I won't gain from. Thanks for the support tho mate.

 

You can do worse than start by reading svews guide here and putting it in to practise. Coding is kinda irrelevant for bugging.

 

thanks origin. Now I have a better idea where to start- need to find a cft and work from there
