PB and ET support!!

(schnoog) #141

–> the ET pb guid is calculated on the 18 bytes of data which start at offset 10 of the etkey file where are performed 2 md5 hashes first with the seed 0x00XXXXX and then with 0x000XXXX. <–

Hey guys, I can’t seem to make it work. So I unistaled everything, instaled wolfenstein and then patch, after I instaled harlekin pb instaler with automatically etkey generator, and I stil got that guid error.

(CoD4Fun) #143

So you installed yourself a trojan horse ? Just use normal et, patch it, and go to etkey.org, download key file, place it in etmain, try join a server.

Which exact error message do you have by the way ?

(bulliz) #144

harlekin installer has a trojan?? I managed to make it work a couple of minutes ago with his installer, now I have to scan my pc :frowning:

(schnoog) #145

The installer made by harlekin has no trojan.
Each download on wolffiles and etkey is checked against several anti-virus-engines without any alert.

Btw: Why to hell should an admin of a hugh gaming community (hirntot.org) spoil his reputation with releasing a malware loaded installer?

@CoD4Fun: Whats the reason you telling people that the installer contains a trojan horse? Have you got any evidence for this incrimination?

Here some results from virustotal (only found punkbuster, which is not malicious in this case):

And how he gets a updated PB if he does not download and install that “trojan horse”?

(avery) #147

Between this post and many others, you can clearly see that he now hates ET. Probably got caught hacking and is mad about it because he can’t play on ANY server. It’s a shame that he can’t make himself useful and just STAY AWAY from the ET forums

(Patriotqube) #148

nah no trojan mate

PnkbstrA and PnkbstrB are actively scanning you system, which is what many trojans are doing, thats why some Antivirussoftware gives an alert.
ive seen the same message when PB actually was working, just tell the AV software that those 2 files are legit and the warnings will stop

again its not a trojan

(Indloon) #149

I made simple code of Etkey generator and how it would look in C
https://github.com/Indloon/Etkey-generator/blob/master/Source1.cpp
I’m gonna add the real date check tomorrow:P
Also md5 hasing so it could be real and gonna think about that rename :stuck_out_tongue:
Btw,I tested it on Wolfenstein:ET SDK with modifed code and it worked well,no curl’n’ stuff needed for that:P

(acQu) #150

I did not watch the source yet, but will your keys be unique ?

Are there any news from side of Splash Damage ?

(2rk^ich.) #151

yeah! I cant play et anymore of cuz pb doesnt support to Et anymore.bull****.does anyone for an idea for solve lately?cuz I tried all the ways.doesnt worked.

(2rk^ich.) #152

and btw,ı tried to join on servers(like prime squad) without enable pb.I couldnt join.after pb_cl_enable,lag started.what am I supposed to do now?

(schnoog) #153

2rk^ich, have you tried the PB installer from ETKEY.org?

(Mateos) #154

If at least he had read this thread before posting…

(Indloon) #155

Well,mostly… NOT:D
Well,the numbers generated depend on numbers generated first,I’m gonna make my rand style.

See that: https://www.securecoding.cert.org/confluence/display/seccode/MSC30-C.+Do+not+use+the+rand()+function+for+generating+pseudorandom+numbers

I made little update
https://github.com/Indloon/Etkey-generator/blob/master/Source1.cpp
Now the key is generated by name etkey =)
However,you should rename the C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ est.txt to
Your one and with \etmain\ since I didn’t want to lose my etkey :stuck_out_tongue:
Also added YYMMDD generator for Windows users,but Mac and UNIX users must wait,since they have much human brain freeze time functions

(acQu) #156

Linux is mostly ez, when you know it lol I could also need some coders to help me convert my windows stuff, but eh, since noone cares anyway, i will have fun discovering it alone :smiley:

(acQu) #157

This is still one big problem. How come dropping support means leaving one big hole, like PB just did. It is like pure money making, as said already before. They can simply offer latest (unofficial) pb client package, so that protection against latest cheats is guaranteed. As many server admins do not turn off PB, i think this is huge problem. Not everyone is willing to first read through some hidden forum posts when installing a game, most of the newcomers will simply drop it because of reasons like this.

(Pedro-NF) #158

[QUOTE=CoD4Fun;387925]Noone expects them to update their cheat protection with the most recent stuff, but when there are servers requiring you to have a PB updated client, then why do they do this.

I have also no clue how it works at the moment, with all this servers who have their PB turned on. Does PB still kick for (known/detected) hax now ? I mean, they dropped streaming support, so PBBans probably not work, but i guess an automatic kick or ban from the local server is initiated. How does this work at the moment ? Why have many servers still PB turned on ?[/QUOTE]

You have no clue about a lot of stuff.

The PB server that runs along the ET server is totally independent from the existence of (UN)EvenBalance. Their cheat checks have been outdated for years and they haven’t done anything for ET in the last 3 or 4 years besides releasing a few badly written maintenance updates which messed up lots of stuff. PunksBusted never cared much for ET and stopped streaming as soon as (UN)EvenBalance announced the end of support for ET, but PBBans streaming services are working normally, and bans are being shared among the servers that stream to them.

A PB enabled server can use local PB tools for a variety of stuff, like the MD5 Tool, to run the PBBans and PunksBusted cheat checks. Of course that’s not hard to overcome for an above average cheater, but this also happened while (UN)EvenBalance was “supporting” ET.

To update PB to the latest version released by (UN)EvenBalance, just go to the [>NF<] Site, donwload the file with the PB updates and extract it over your PB folder, overwriting it. PunkBuster will then be updated and both PB services will be installed the next time you connect to any PB enabled server.

(Mateos) #159

He will say your package contains a horse or something, he’s been already given some links to complete ET installers or just PB updated stuff…
