On our server, a hacker got kicked with this guid: 52ff6283916a9467908e6a771cb70285fb41c5e7

After Yawning him I found out there's a shitload of people using the same guid! http://yawn.boozze.be/findPlayer.yawn?& ... amecode=ET

What I would REALLY like to know is, are all these players using the same hax?

Yes, fully agree.

Nevertheless, it is used in leagues like Clanbase, ESL to uniquely identify players to prevent fakers and/or ringers in their matches which means that players with this â€œbugâ€� are prevented from registering.

But as author said to my far-off question about it, fixing this â€œbugâ€� is not so important.

Obviously, an ID system which is known to be spoofable, and does not always generate unique IDs even when it isn't being spoofed is perfectly suited for this

Yes but the alternative is an ID system where you simple delete etkey to get a new identity... So I guess it's the "less worse" choice of both systems the leagues took.
