We can look at the properties of runes, Peace, and Enigma. Let's dissect the effects visible in the screenshot by looking up items on Blizzard's Arreat Summit reference site. However, it's not uncommon for MMO exploits to propagate first as rumours, then eventually as screenshots. It would be nice to have the item on-hand as proof, and for packet inspection. If you've played Diablo 2 you may recognize that as 'Enigma', a high-level runeword created with Jah, Ith, Ber and highly sought-after due to granting all classes the ability to teleport like a Sorceress. Here's an example runeword 'Peace' created by inserting Shael, Thul, and Amn runes into a 3-socket Light Plate:

Some sequences of runes are special - inserting them into a white item makes a runeword item with predictable special properties. Rune and gem-type items can be inserted into sockets. The most common items (normal or 'white' ones) have very few possible effects however, all items can have sockets. :) Exploit effectsĭiablo 2 items can have a list of properties with various effects. Since the exploit is against a black-box network service with no available code, exact details and subtleties remain a mystery. It provides the necessary background information (network protocol and game mechanics) to gain some understanding of the primitives from which it's constructed. This is a common-jargon walkthrough of an interesting Diablo 2 exploit.
