The day we have all been dreading...

yep, but really anoying for the rest of us. So I think they found a way to get some fun

(Violator) #82

And on top of all this I’m STILL banned for doing sweet FA :mad: but not sure I want to come back to all this crap :frowning:

(.FROST.) #83

I’d really like to look such a retard in the face and ask him what the eff he’s really getting out of this. I always have this disgustingly fat, drooling kid in front of my eyes when I read stuff about hackers/hack users and virus programmers. And I just want to bitch slap this sorry little piglet with the back of my hand; just so, that he finally wakes up from his dreams of false victories he considers real wins. It’s really hard for me to imagine this giggling little guy in his basement quarters, without getting my blood boiling.

Did I miss something?

I have actually not yet encountered a cheater :open_mouth:

I have actually not yet encountered a cheater :O[/QUOTE]

For reasons as yet unknown I had my account suspended on Sunday and it is still suspended for reasons as yet unknown. (http://forums.warchest.com/showthread.php/40453-Account-suspended) while the server seems to be filled with hackers who are going unsuspended.

(Ashog) #86

well, my Ashog account is locked too due to auth problems.

So using a smurf account :slight_smile:

(Runeforce) #87

So you are your own best friend? :tongue:

(Ashog) #88

Yes, since no friendslist yet :stuck_out_tongue:

(prophett) #89

We need a vote-kick system :confused:

(.FROST.) #90

This^, but how can one be entirely sure, that someone is an actual cheater and not just insanely good?

(prophett) #91

A fault with any vote system. The vote kick would serve to eject the blatant cheaters mentioned in this thread (speed hackers). I played with 3 in 1 day, 2 of which were on the same team vS me on the same map - V, V34, and some other player whose name is all random letters and numbers.

(Violator) #92

If everyone votes then its usually pretty conclusive. It could be used in conjunction with ECHO data perhaps? (I think someone suggested this earlier). It was hard in QW though as it needed 100% of players to vote for anything and votes never passed.

(spookify) #93

I dont like vote kick because then noobs kick me!!!

(zeroooo) #94

SCUM!

shiiiet URL was here[/QUOTE]

Wow, I’m once again baffled by the professionalism of those hackers. After seeing their page I don’t think that Nexon, or SD can ever find a really effective cure against their hacks, I mean just look at how advanced this cancer already is; no fancy AC will ever stop them. Vote kick really seems like the best solution for it, but it comes with the price of potentially punishing the wrong people with it.

(Violator) #96

Hardly a professional looking site (the English is pretty bad for a start), bit more advanced than the usual script kiddies though. I assume SD / Nexon are going to do something about this at some point? Videos are still up that have been there for days now. Unfortunately I don’t think bot hacks are illegal so not sure what they can do to shut it down short of getting anonymous or someone on the case :). I did report their DNS servers to the relevant provider (cloudflare.com after a quick whois) - never heard back from them though, but they seemed to have locked their info down a bit more…

EDIT: are all the hackers using the same hack?

(shaftz0r) #97

the thing about paid for cheats is that they update pretty consistently. this isnt a new problem, in fact, its far from it. i dont know if anyone remembers chaplja from ET, but he was the main coder for artificialaiming, and basically annihilated the entire scene. basically 75% of the top tier teams had at least one cheater. he eventually felt pretty bad about destroying the entire scene and coded an anti cheat (even though im SURE he was selling bots on the side) and it cleaned everything up

(.FROST.) #98

I’d know another, rather unconventional, solution. It worked quite well on Cyberdyne, so it should be good enough for Systemcheats. Well that, or SD hax their page into the ground.

(AssortedStuff) #99

Here are just a few suggestions I could remember to deal with hacking in game:

  • Reporting, by the players - ingame and a forum section so that video could be posted to (to be investigated by the company in charge of running the game).

  • Autoban accounts based on players results (example, if someone has a hit ration of 90% or above I guess that’s pretty much a given that they’re hacking, no? Other results should also be monitored, such as headshots, or lack of them at all as some aimbots target the chest …etc)

  • Someone (either from the company or an external hire) could subscribe to the hacks so that they have access to what’s being released and release a counter measure on every update (…if a more heuristic approach is not possible). This work probably has to be carried out in a computer separated from the main company network. As I bet those hacking programs must also be full of nasty malware.

that 3rd option would be the better choice
