DBO_ 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Quote[/b] ]It doesnt matter if the key changer allows them to come back after being banned It does like i said before ,the reason for wanting the id changer is given and the provider of the key suggests that the key changer will provide a means to return and crash a server again, thus by passing any means provided by Bis to stop the user crashing his server. Quote[/b] ]and Im still not convinced they are directly crashing or supporting the crashing of servers. Thas because you are not privvy to all the facts, nor are you likely to be. you think that real evidence would be posted here ? what case would they have if they posted ,dev changelogs ,archived readmes , links to proof etc etc.. you asked how it is illegal , you have been answered. to ask for proof that they are linked is moot, because i dont believe you or i will ever see it unless we are in a court watching this case (if one ever comes to court).

Because when they do that its causing more stress to be put on the card then normal play. But thats still because your card seems to be overheating because your not properly cooling it.

M.Andersson(SWE) 4 Posted September 14, 2007 I dont have to have the best. I play "Evo" because its nice to my PC. I know i cant play other missions that press my card to the maximum, and i dont.

oChaos.DNJ 0 Posted September 14, 2007 ... You dont have to have the best to protect your card from overheating.... Well untill someone/thing stops them they will continue to do what they want. But they definetly arent responcible for your lack of cooling for your video card when stressed by the game. You better just get some fans on there and in your case if it doesnt already. Possibly lower settings /+ undo overclocks if you have any maybe underclock. Its better to be safe....The next time it could cause lasting damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M.Andersson(SWE) 4 Posted September 14, 2007 Well. I state i again...When playing on a server without these hacks/cheats its ok. Even on normal settings. But i say i gain. I shouldnt have to buy the best just couse thes basterds keep on doing what they do. I mean we could have a case as regarding "TRESPASSING". We dont whant them on the servers, they HAVE to respect that..If a clan have a server of their own or maby leasing one. That server is their PRIVAT domain. If they dont whant them there and they come anyway, thats Trespassing... Period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oChaos.DNJ 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Put a password / lock your server? If you actually think they are going to stop joining your server or server you frequent because you dont want them there, or that what they do is causing too much stress on your system, keep dreaming. They dont care about that at all. In fact you would become a favorite victum. Thats pretty much what they do. They join servers to ruin them. When it gets to you and you start trying to insult them, first off your not hurting their feelings. This is how they want to you to react. They thrive off it. They take screen shots of your reactions and masurbate to them and whatever else they do with them. Lock, password, strictly admin your servers untill theres something else. Why arent there any scripters coming on here to release any anti-KFC scripts players/admins can use. I saw someone came on here saying they have made a mission that stops the current scripts they are using. Thats not exactly the greatest thing since its in the mission, and not universal for the servers missions. But possibly that stuff can be transfered to other missions.... and here, this is what they use to prevent themselves from being locked. Why dont admins and other players start using this type of stuff as well to protect themselves. You can use their stuff against them. antilock.sqs <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">TitleText [format["Antilock on"], "PLAIN DOWN"] ~2 TitleText [format[" "], "PLAIN DOWN"] #loop ["disableuserinput false;"] disableuserinput false; goto "loop" This is how they do unlock_all.sqs <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">["player setdammage 0.123; if (damage player == 0.123) then {player setdammage 0;disableuserinput false}"] exec "\NL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5\scripts\_do_public.sqs" _do_public.sqs <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">KFC_NL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5_command = _this select 0; _x = random 5000; _y = random 5000; _z = 0; KFCNL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5 = "SoldierECrew" createunit [[_x,_y,_z], group player, format["%1", KFC_NL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5_command]]; ~0.01 deletevehicle KFCNL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5 KFCNL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5 = nearestobject [[_x,_y,_z],"SoldierECrew"]; deletevehicle KFCNL1TTfTUIyRjJ9r5 exit Not sure exactly how you would input these into scripts other then using their cheat.

Doolittle 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Send the hack in to BIS.... If BIS would make it so that map makers could "intercept" calls to commands... then we could make it so setdamage could only be called from a server machine... or even disable that command if we're not using it in the mission. I would be willing to rewrite all maps to handle a more client/server design... e.g. server is only one who can execute createvehicle and setdamage stuff. Would be fun to write up too.

walker 0 Posted September 14, 2007 Hi all In reply to oChaos.DNJ It is crime to pass data to a server that causes the server to not operate in the way it was set up for by the owner. It says so in the laws I have posted here on several occasions, and people have been convicted with those laws. That is why the police are investigating it and that is why they assigned a case number to it. No server is ever secure not even the pentagon that is why the laws are there. Just the same as with a bank. The bank can have the best lock and doors in the world but an armed bank robber can threaten the key holder and gain entry. What protects the bank then is that the armed robber is the criminal law. What protects person from rape is criminal law. What protects your server from being cracked is criminal law. It is the data that a Tk/cheater/griefer/ sends to the server which alters the data on the server in a way that is without without permission of the owner. Just one byte is enough to convict. You cannot escape it oChaos.DNJ that is why those on the Tk/cheater/griefer/ website are running scared. The police are now investigating them and it did not cost those who reported the crime a penny. Reporting a crime is FREE! And now more and more games forums are taking up the call. Remember Remember the 5th of November Kind Regards Walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jasono 0 Posted September 14, 2007 It is illegal, and I agree they should go to jail. However, I don't think police see this as an important issue. If someone come up to me (as a police officer) and said some people was cheating and ruining the fun, I would laugh. It would be embarrasing. If you do ask, I don't see how the police can prioritze it. Theres loads of cases to be solved, and an online game cheater isn't going to put it at the top of the pile. I was mugged a few years ago for a 250GBP phone and 80GBP MP3 Player. Police took a statement over phone - never heard from them again As much as I would like to see action done, unless your willing to get your own lawyer, you'll be waiting forever (I mean ages..)

When in fact the server could crash be crashing all on its own. Where they are not directly or delibratly responcible for it crashing. Or these crashes arent even coming from them but from mods like XAM1.3. But everyone screams fire because they dont know what else to do. There isnt a server crasher in their scripts. But theres some sort of a player crasher, which works threw some scripting. Dont know about legalities behind that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balschoiw 0 Posted September 15, 2007 I´m not getting it. What´s the problem with the legal approach they took oChaos.DNJ ? If it works : Hip , Hip ! If it doesn´t, nothings lost. I guess you are not a judge or a lawyer, so your also fishing in the dark. Walker has some experience in this field, so I guess he knows slightly more of what he´s talking about than you. I´m getting really tired of this debate here, furthermore there is actually no need to debate it as the jurisdiction will be the ones to decide if it´s worth it or not. Leave it up to them to decide and keep that "I know it better than you, although I don´t really know it better, but I can always claim to" - talk out of here. Again, if they (police, jurisdiction) decide to consider actions it´s a win situation. If they don´t, we have learned that it didn´t work. As noone is spending money on this (apart from the server owners who suffer a loss because the server is not available for the reasons mentioned) there is no risk for anyone but those who conduct acts that create the situation on the servers. Why don´t you just rest this useless and tiring debate and relax, sit back and wait for the things to come ? You don´t know, Walker doesn´t know, the man in the moon doesn´t know, but it´s worth the try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

walker 0 Posted September 15, 2007 Hi all In reply to oChaos.DNJ yes I did say a speed crack is a crime because: A speed crack as with any crack used in a multi user environment via a server; is data sent to that server; it is achieved either by altered files or additional files or external exe. Once it steps from the tk/cheater/griefers computer onto the internet and into another persons computer and alters data in a way not intended by the owner of the server the crime is committed. That is what the law says read it. The crime is altering data on a computer. You only have to alter data without permission of the server owner to commit the offence. And aiding and abetting someone to alter data on a computer is also a crime. Please read the legal quotes I am putting up; if you do not trust me as you have stated read the original documents I have placed the links there for that very purpose. Since the police are accepting it as a crime worth investigating you cannot escape the facts. In reply to froggyluv they are not hackers they are crackers at the most and the majority of them are just script kiddies who just download the scripts made for them. There is no skill involved in this it is like comparing a tagger to a graffiti artist who paints a beautiful mural. These are just cracker taggers. By the way I have also made the mistake of labeling it hacking when in fact it is script kiddie cracking. The influence of the media mixing hacking up with cracking gets to us all Kind Regards walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oChaos.DNJ 0 Posted September 15, 2007 No wrong. Its not altering data on the server or how its read. its the client altering a varible in his memory. Everything on the server is functioning exactly the same. Hes just moving faster. So his locations is being updated at greater distances then if he was moving slower. You gave them permiss to alter data on the server by allowing them to join the server anyways. Your wrong. Every person who joins the server is altering data on the server threw your views. Your confused on what altering data is. But I'll talk to on this November 5th and see if you got anywhere. Willing to send me $1000 paypal if your totally wrong?

BraTTy 0 Posted September 15, 2007 I read some/most of this topic and I have some input. At first I thought Chaos was one of them. Even if he is, he is helping us defend against them.I don't think he is.Doesn't matter anyways, he's obviously a customer and wants to play too. Alot of what he says I have to agree with. In the USA police are busy, unless you have hardcore evidence they won't arrest anyone. My autobodyshop was recently burglarized and over 7000$ worth of stuff was stolen.I seen who was loading it and so didn't my landlord.It was hardly investigated and was listed as vandalism so the police can continue to sit in their chairs. I figure that the amount of crimes in my area (burglaries every night obviously) causes the police to be numb to a felony theft Yet I watch Dallas SWAT on TV and they organize a SWAT team to try to arrest a person stealing copper wire valued at 2800$.And they didn't get him/them.He had the tools (scales,burned plastic piles) But at midnight he didn't have any coppr on hand (duh) I had my car stolen once (i delivered pizza and just started it and left it running) A group of teenagers hopped in it and many people witnessed it.Once the police returned my vehicle it was "operation without owners consent" If the children got hurt, I had bad brakes or what-have-you.I would be sitting in jail. (thank friggen god, they even outran the police mid-winter in my awd subaru) No different than I leaving a loaded gun on the sidewalk and a child picked it up. Chaos views are realstic.We need some good proof and that people are losing money. I can say that I know BIS are losing money because I am scared of playing online (someone may capture my cdkey) And the fact that new people may not be buying the game after reading this topic. I think right now, server password would be the only way (but how many friends I got here that will give me a pw to play,lol) I don't play much MP to be well known,trusted And to the dude that claims OFP2 by codemasters is the answer, it will be surely hacked too Any new game is in jeapordy,I am sure cybercrime is so common, the people pursuing it are also numb (compare it to the mass spyware running) I'd rather stop that crap first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oChaos.DNJ 0 Posted September 15, 2007 They need more then proof someones losing money. They need proof of someone actually doing something illegal.

oChaos.DNJ 0 Posted September 15, 2007 lalalalala your talking in circles. Modifying the memory of a client on a multiplayer game has already been proven in court to be legal. IE: Trainers Your laws are based on breaking into a server to make unauthorized modification to data. and you still dont realize a speed hack doesnt make unauthorized modification of data on the server or data thats unacceptable. Its all valid normal data. Only thing that changes is the xyz coordinates are farther apart from where they last were then if they didnt have a speed hack. Or rather it takes less time to get from A to B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
