SavageCDN 231 Posted February 15, 2013 Classic case of not knowing wth your talking about. Pot? Meet kettle... Please stop posting... the grownups are trying to have a nice conversation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horner 13 Posted February 15, 2013 Classic case of not knowing wth your talking about. Says the guy hosting a mission he didn't even create. And the same one who is purchasing "anti-hacks", when the best anti-hack you can get is free. Making scripts that have the code server sided is simple. Compile the code, broadcast it, then on the client, call it. And like others have said, you just need to know what you're doing to be able to write said scripts. Not to sound like an a-hole, but you really should educate yourself before insulting others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horner 13 Posted February 16, 2013 My bad, I just want him to understand that the person he was insulting wasn't in the wrong with his post. And you can indeed secure (or help secure) your server using scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGhering 1 Posted February 16, 2013 Purchasing anti-hacks from hackers (protection money!) instead of learning how to secure a server is something one can't really troll. That almost sounds similar to paying mob bosses from protection from their own men. However, as paying customers, we shouldn't have to take such measures. It should be a constant mission for the developer to update and apply new patches to thwart hacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BattlEye does do that, Idk if you owned arma 2 before dayz, but BE has improved drastically in the last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phate 1 Posted February 17, 2013 BattlEye does do that, Idk if you owned arma 2 before dayz, but BE has improved drastically in the last year. I have to agree with this. BE is far from perfect, but DayZ's success has forced it to evolve and improve - and improve it has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, as paying customers, we shouldn't have to take such measures. It should be a constant mission for the developer to update and apply new patches to thwart hacks. What do you mean "we shouldn't have to take such countermeasures"? And why would you take said "countermeasure" of buying anti hack prevention from hackers to begin with? That would be the last thing any admin would want to do... and this is the first I'm hearing of someone doing this in... well... since I started playing this series over a decade ago. And you don't think BI/BE do the best they can to keep up with the hacks? Just like any other anti hack countermeasure... You should just be glad that in Arma, users can take matters into their own hands to further help themselves. It's up to the admins, to learn some things so he or she can properly admin. Admining is more than just logging in and selecting a mission to play... :rolleyes: Edited February 17, 2013 by Iceman77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horner 13 Posted February 18, 2013 Admining is more than just logging in and selecting a mission to play... :rolleyes: Way too true. Also, like you said, purchasing antihacks is straight up unintelligent, however, I can see the intelligence in getting your hands on the hacks themselves and setting up isNil checks for specific gvars located in the hacks, however BE can't be expected to go through every gvar a hack uses as similar vars may be used by mission makers. So they're pretty much unstoppable (at the scripting level) by a universal antihack, so people need to get used to it. You can craft your own code to limit, or sometimes stop hackers. People should stop crying about battleye for everything, they try their very best, and take constant criticism. How I'd hate to be a BE dev. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mattar_Tharkari 10 Posted February 25, 2013 Just to make you aware, some of the hacker groups are running servers now - I found 2 servers with admins and friends exploiting weaknesses in 404Wasteland this weekend and their conversations were very revealing. They are totally un-ashamed by their activities and see it as legitimate 'fun'. While some admins really do need to read the excellent & FREE "How to secure you server" info by DWarden, just be aware that as a player not every server is run by honest people, although the vast majority are.

Server admins cheating has been occurring for awhile on certain servers (not going to name any names). They like to call them "admin tools." I prefer to call them what they are, cheats. The nice thing about BE global bans is (for the most part) they'll get banned themselves too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
