Hacks & Cheating..

[Rynthas 0]

Actually, I think Evo has an exploit that allows people to bypass ranks as far as vehicles go. I once saw a Corporal flying a AV-8B GBU...and that's not a two-seater, so it couldn't have been his AI.

AI should really be the same rank as the player controlling them, it'd solve a lot of annoying issues in Evo.

As far as I know the only effective way of making any server 100% cheat free is to play with people you've built up a trust level with. Currently teamspeak is a better voip solution and it's a great way to build a good community.

yesterday i was playing evo and this guy was flying a cobra w/ only 10 points.

he had a weird hack name with weird symbols.

Map bug, bot can use all vehicle as driver/pilot

When you got 10 points, you became caporal and so you can recruit one AI. So you can use all vehicles !

The gunner place doesn't require point, you can go gunner with 0 point

Ive banned for the same on the SES server. Way I see it, if you know its an exploit and use it, then its cheating = perma ban. If you know its an exploit but can resist the temptation of using it then I applaud you. If you didnt know it was an exploit, maybe you should be asking the admin or people playing.

If you are a corporal, your ai should be only able to drive/fly things you can fly. This is at least how it works on version I play. AI sometimes cant even get into same vehicle as me, eventhough they supposed to be same rank.

Admins dont need to type a players name to kick or ban. Just press p and kick there no.

The problem is BIS want Arma to be open and let people make mods and addons. Unfortunetely this enables it to be easy to addaction scripts to mods and addons and other such hacks.

Exploit is not a cheat. It's just unfair vs other coop players.

Another exploit on this map, you can win one point per soldier you carry and drop. But it is working with bot.

Then all you have to do when caporal is too take 1 bot in a humvee, drop it outside the main base and you will take point by point (you say your bot to get in the humvee, then disembark, and get into again...).. and then you could do it with 2 bots, then 3 bots.. and more.

If it was well scripted, the point will only be added to the score when dropping soldier near an objective.

But well, forgot about the main topic subject, it is not game's related, it is map related. I don't know if he has a topic here, and if he knows these bugs.

Oh the danger of revealing exploits in Arma missions!

Id bans are useless becuse of Id changers. a cheater can join youre server find ur clan leaders id. wait till he stops palying get on the server with his id. start cheating noticibly. you ban him and you also ban ur cleanleader and hes like WTh u Noobleet. This would be prety funny aculty oh know im Giveing them ideas

U think ammo cheating is bad lol

well  what about Sawning Tanks Yes Thay can Spawn Tanks or Spawn planes spawn anything. Teleport to any location on the map. Freeze youre Charactor. Make you type things in chat. Drop LGB from the Sky. Make huge sand bag Fortracess. Make huge logo in the Skies and for all you old ofp Players u know who im talking about and to hell with them. and dont mention thare names. becuse noobs will find them and go to thare website. any mention of them shood get a Insta Ban of bi fourms and post deleted  

Best way To ban is by IP/id what games do this do you ask? umm Swat 4, Quake 4, rv6 tons of others.

Best way to protect youre server is by adding this to the config

kickduplicate=1;

checkfiles[]=

{

"dta\core.pbo",

"dta\bin.pbo"

};

equalModRequired=1;

Yeah also sometimes you can get people who are pissed off with the developers and want revenge. Sometimes you can get people hacking just becuase they can to give a wake up call to the developers to do something about it.

[Misfit Leader 1]

What's the id for so ?

Ok, there is a short id when you are ingame. But it's not the same id of the dedicated server console.

We put a serial key before installing ArmA, didn't they assign an id to this key

thats nothing. oh wait when you disconnect and reconnect you have all your points again

doesnt nessaraly mean he was cheating.

No im pretty sure he was hacking, I was in game before him he came in and got all pissed because he couldint fly the cobra. I saw him try to get in the cobra having only 10 points it didn't let him. a minute later hes flying, I asked him how he did that and he said a hack.

Yes IDs are the Cd-key. idenity

The player number can be used for kicking out some weirdo with strange characters in his name without having to refer to an ascii chart. Like #kick 42 instead of #kick XOXOl33td3l74sn1p4hh666XOXO

The player ids are visible on #userlist

So when you put a ban, you don't ban the short id, but the serial key id, no ? (or maybe BIS is a little bit stupid )

Edit : A cheater taking other players id ? Strange thing thought

[Frantic 0]

ur banning the players ID, which is normally 8 numbers long.

But u use the number which the player got on the server to ban him.

Its way more easy to write 1 or 2 numbers instead of 8 from the real ID.

It would be interesting how long can be the normal BIS ArmA IDs, cause i saw yesterday a player´s ID with 12 numbers.

Anyone knows something about the normal numbers of ArmA IDs?

Quote[/b] ]Edit : A cheater taking other players id ? Strange thing thought

that way the cheater take revenge on players who kicked them, so they get them banned on other servers.

[mattxr 9]

i see many people coming up saying oh i seen players with long long id, dont you think then some countrys game makes them have a long id. and as of to date there is no such things as a ID changer which you can select your own ID!!!   not for arma anyways.

...and as of to date there is no such things as a ID changer which you can select your own ID!!! not for arma anyways.

are you sure?

there was one in OFP, so if there isnt one in ArmA yet, it will come for ArmA too sooner or later...

ArmA ID changers have been around for a while, so there could be some around where you can select any ID. Maybe one that isn't publicly released.

There is a thing here

Key reg files & here is the proof, which has been brought to the attention of BIS...............................

**Edit reason Pic was 2 big

[mattxr 9]

yeah but they cant duplicate someones id, unless they find there key. which could be one in a million,but your right it still shouldnt be doable in the first place.

[Stugwi 0]

Just thought i would pre-warn u of Evolution map hacking the night. Spawning of enemy BMP's, T72's and Para's at base. Big piles of vehicles spawning out of nowhere and artillary fire raining down on base. This happened on 2 seperate servers

Hope this is not the future

[FAF_DRAKO 1]

With a few legit Keys and IDs which hackers actually have. They can technically figure out the Algorithm that Generates the ID and Vise Versa. Kinda Like reverse engineering. I'm not saying that it's easy but they would be able to figure it out in time. To my understanding, there's already a KeyGen and ID Changer for ArmA. All they need to do now is put those two together like a Value Converter that works both ways and presto... they could technically get any ID and Generate it's Key or key to ID. You can see where this is going.

I don't know about you guys, but the moment I resort to hacking a video game is the day I shoot myself.
