A HACK from doomseeker?

#1

Is this an attempt to hack from the mods list? Exist a EXE file in the list.

I strongly recommend investigating this:

It was probably something that was accidentally included by the host.

I’m not sure why .exe’s are even allowed to be included as PWADs honestly. But I don’t think this particular case is malicious. Probably just some kid who didn’t know that you can’t load two source ports at the same time.

If you’re really that concerned, download the file on a virtual machine and look at its checksum.

I don’t even think GetWad will download .exe’s anyways.

Most likely just a mistake by someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing. Either way, I highly doubt Wadseeker can execute arbitrary executables.

It's true, I already realized that it's probably an error of the host administrator. But it's better to going to check whether this really works or not.

It's better to prevent than cure.
