Minecraft Mod Brings Hunt.io Open-Directory Data Into the Game
· 21:38 · Watch on YouTube ↗
Summary
The video follows development of a Minecraft mod that queries Hunt[.]io’s Attack Capture API for open-directory hosts and files. The data appears in-game, though its presentation and file retrieval still need work.
Key points
- The project aims to make open-directory data available for exploration inside Minecraft as a security-research experiment.
- The API key is passed through a user-level environment variable; the presenter says it was neither displayed nor written into the repository.
- Development spans a Windows computer running Minecraft and a remote Linux system, with the devices communicating over SSH.
- The mod was adapted to retrieve recent listings, host details, and file information from Hunt[.]io’s API.
- Early attempts showed errors and failed to retrieve files; later, API data and file listings appeared in-game.
- The final display was not in the desired format, and the presenter said development would continue in a later video.
