Using /guids to ban

-W0kk3L- · Post by **-W0kk3L-** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 3:42 am

Is it possible to ban someone by it's /guids ID? I know this was still in development, but i don't hear anything new about it. I know it is possible to ban by IP or PB GUID, but regular players can't lookup those items. And IP isn't that ideal because it can be changed easily nowadays. Anyone?

well guid isnt any better

normal guid is easy chanced nowdays
etpro-guid is also pretty easely chanced [13333333333333333337]

but af for banning i dunno if et is the same as rtcw in the way since rtcw jsut stored any banned guids on the server in a folder (root./wolf/bans on our serv) i think u can manuel ad one there

If you can narrow down a subnet enough, you can block an IP range long enough for the annoying person go to away.

I know banning by IP is a sollution, but not THE sollution. Besides regular players can't find the IP of a player, so admins always need to scan the logs, which is very much time-consuming. That's why i'm looking for a simple way for regular players to report cheaters with GUID and/or IP to our CheatR system (http://www.crew-nexus.net/cheatr).

you can only ban by pb guid/ip right now, it takes all of 3 secs to get a new guid

Hi,

If you have the possibility to use etadmin_mod (you need a shell for that, or your hoster has to install it),

you can
a) ban with etpro guids (which, we all now are fakeable, or UNKNOWN sometimes or even the same (for win98 users)
b) have commands for your admins only to show them the IP, GUID, and other stuff, that might be interesting.

for example:

Code: Select all

&#91;alias&#93;
info			= m <PLAYER> "^3info&#58; ^7<PART2CNAME> ^7guid&#58; <PART2GUID>^7, ip&#58; <PART2IP>"

You could also use:

Code: Select all

# IP Bans &#40;works with all &#40;etmain, etpro, shrub&#41;&#58;
addip                   = addip <PARAMETER>
removeip                = removeip <PARAMETER>
listip                  = g_banIPs

to give your admins the possibility to add temporary ip/bans. g_banIPs is reset on server restart.

Ok, i'll take a look at that mod. Any other suggestions are welcome

Maybe the ETPro crew can take a deeper look at this problem. It's still an issue for (probably) most ET admins.

just ban him, and set that pb feature that doesnt let the user in with for example only 1 day old guid, its quite effective
if think its called pb_guidminage or somethin like that
go to look at the manual

i don't think that works...

It's just weird that there isn't a descent ban system in ET.... Maybe the ETPRO admins can take a look at this problem again, and maybe introduce something that is a bit usefull. Maybe not waterproof, but at least a way that players can report cheaters with an actual ID that is bannable.

its not weird, its a free game, so getting a "cd-"key doesnt cost any money

does not make it less crucial.. i never really concidered cheating as a real threat, cause it has seemed like PB would catch em sooner or later (rather sooner)..

theese days i see really effective multihacks/bots..that;

1. They are extremely well made (better than ever)
2. They are very hard to spot/detect just by spectating (part of the concept)
3. They work fine with any anticheat system

they have been there for months..but recently some were posted at www.xfire.be and now i almost run into aimbots/hacks on daily basis.

works very well inconjunction with etadmin_mod , but obviously doesn't allow new players on the server.. also if your admins re-install ET for example, then even they cannot get in lol..as they have new GUID to.

I remember a cheat that was undetected by pb for over a year (worked on all opengl games, COD, ET, RTCW, etc) when etpro anticheat came out, it was blocked, arround a week later pb finially blocked it

just back up their etkey file... then they have their old guid

and also, not everyone has the ability to run etadminmod
