Off-topic but I heard that MAC Address bans are quite easy.
they are i think runescape does it
and wow -
I´ve never played a game with official servers (not pirate ones) and see soo mutch of that dam persons who don´t even deserve their fingers!!! Z8 u can say to us, legit players that u r sorry but the contract with x-cra.... srry x-trap still some time left to end and we have to accept that but please let some words out and answers!!
LEGIT PLAYERS AGAINST SH1TS MOVEMENT. -
I like the idea I saw earlier about using a hidden file to "mark" hackers once they're caught. When they log into their hack acct, CF lays down a small, hidden, protected file somewhere deep in the windows directory, and changes the meta data so the 'last modified' and 'last accessed' dates don't give it away. I mean, I guess if the hacker was ready for it, they could use a debugger to see what CF is doing, but if you combine with IP ban, MAC addy ban, and a hardware profile ban, you could stop a lot of hacks.

what if, elaborating what u said a bit more:
when u download cf, or update it, a hidden file (the way u said) get put on the pc, of course that goes in the term of service when u install cf and when you uninstall cf, it doesn't remove that file. when cf launch, the cf server ( not xtrap due to possible bypass) check the file to see if its good or not, if the file is missing or do not have the green light code, it doesn't start. that file would change location/name/green light code changed evre week or 2, making it really difficult for hackers to change the file. you could also put fake hacks there and there that automatically trigger the red light on the file asap as it is run.(+ normal banning and ect) that would require ingame baning thoug, as its not too efficient to change the file when the person isn't on cf.
that would obiously not fully remove hacks but sure would limit it and put some fear into hackers, ( + considering a good number of hack users are 10 year old kids who have no clue how a pc work, and the fact the file change from time to time, google won't be of so much help.) -
Holy $#!^
You guys IP ban now??
OT
Yea I've "seen" the hack in works (my friend uses it, i dont really know why but i dont wanna ban him but i never play with him
) and he told me its only using this really crap program used for FLASH games mostly............... Cheat Engine
ikr its weird how the most crappiest way of cheating/hacking in game has a speed hack
but i really want this speed hacking to stop (mostly when arena 2 came out and u see those speed hakers rushing to em PSG's and going PeWPeW) -
wow really? CF ?? ( u should sensor it or something though) i always believed it would be the first thing any anti cheats would block. ( i mean, its the easiest thing ever to use and plz to god. let the speed hack not be what i think it is, (aka you only need to press a check-mark.) but if hes hacking with CT, that mean that hackers don't even bother injecting anymore.Holy $#!^

oh ye, beat your friend up for hacking on an online game, that what i would do to him
( and then teach him how to play.) -
Saidin, Is that possible that the VIP hacks has that "you cannot save replay"? because this dude VIP Hacking speedy 1 hit aimbot, i saved it and it wasn't on the replay's list.
basicly you can't save it and the were able to hack all day.
They could easily make a fonction to friend everyone in the game when people are saving replay I guess...(that will make you unable to save it.) o_o -
The more the hackers the less people are going to play this game , T-T please get rid of them.
if they get rid of them, then they will lose their revenue.. bc 70-90% of them are from South America or Turkey... oh and they buy the most ZP
ive been part of this community since literally right after OB... and it just never seems like they are gonna do ANYTHING for the English players.. yes they brought xtrap... they should have stopped with that patch and NEVER had the last halloween patch or just made the patches much smaller and didn't mess with the guns and hit boxes bc that halloween patch f'ed the reg and went to sh1t and game-play was more sluggish feeling.
yet through all that... i may have quit playin bc all my NA friends quit playin.. but i still have faith that they may help out the English players
make a SA server, restrict them to 1-3 servers, or Ban them.... bc Z8, u will and are losing NA players.....
pce out.. i spoke my mind... GL with the game saidin

Como todos sabem estamos constantemente a tomar uma posição contra hackers, seja acompanhando o corta-se e enviando-os para as pessoas apropriadas para ter bloqueado. Ou emissão dos vários tipos de proibições que temos dentro de nosso sistema para cortar o hacker do nosso jogo.
Este anúncio é em relação à velocidade actual hack que as pessoas viram no jogo. A velocidade de corte envolve um desvio para xtrap que pode danificar permanentemente o seu jogo (e talvez o seu computador). No mínimo, isso torna difícil para executar o jogo várias vezes após o uso.
Este desvio hack também pode conter um keylogger projetado para rasgar as informações pessoais de seu computador e transferi-lo para outros hackers. Isso coloca você, seu computador e qualquer outra pessoa que o usa (incluindo seus pais ou seja, da família) em risco.
Isto está acima e além do fato de que "usar" a velocidade de corte serão atingidos com maior prioridade, a partir de nós. Quando você usa uma velocidade de corte ou outro hack óbvio, toda a gente sabe que no jogo de hacker e [I [alguém] / I] te denunciar. No momento, estamos priorizando esse corte (e vip one-shot hack) como os principais prioridades para a proibição e tratar.
Então, por favor, como sempre, não utilize programas hackers com Cross Fire. E saiba que nós estamos cientes da atual situação e estão tomando as prioridades para lidar com alguns desses hacks e lidar com os hackers óbvio que usá-los.
E como sempre acontece com as ondas populares de hacks públicos, seja advertido que o IP pode ser banido (como sempre). E isso só porque você não cortar não significa que seu irmãozinho ou irmãzinha não tentou um corte para fora e, posteriormente, tem a sua conta ou computador ou ip banido do nosso sistema. Nós não assumimos qualquer responsabilidade por esses tipos de ações e é culpa do usuário se uma situação como essa ocorre.
Para terminar em uma nota mais leve, uma onda inteira de hacks foi desativado devido às alterações que foram feitas para o cliente no último patch. Então, como sempre, há coisas acontecendo e esperança para o futuro!
Now maybe ppl will get it :P -
na you dont ban a ip most virtual ip's change every 8 hours or every so often on their own
mac addresses once upon a time were unique to every single nic card however nowdays not so much
so is the case any ccna msce ect... could prolly tell you all about it
what use is baning a ip when 99% of the people have a dynamic ip ?
maybe in 1995 banning a ip was effective but not in 2010
instead on the first install of crossfire you drop a reg key thats unique sent by the server
into one of a variety of possible registry locations
that is not removed on uninstall just like a trial program does
thats prolly just as or more effective
on a reinstall the reg key thats already their gets used
if the hack ever makes a new account and starts playing again
crossfire sends the regkey code thats on the comp to the crossfire server
if that reg key has been banned
the server allows them to play for say 2 days then bans that new account
and their left scratching thier head like how did they figure it out
not only that you can choose not to ban them right away and instead have a mod
watch them when they play to see what kinda of hacks thier useing if their in a clan
if their entire clan hacks ect....
course in reality the real solution is to hire a very experienced game networking coder to come in
and trouble shoot the networking code to not have the information sent and recieved even be able
to be comprimised in the first place -
Having done quite a bit of game programming myself I have thought of ways which should be able to detect these hacks in game and automatically kick them out if they are detected. This is the way I would do it.
Speed Hack:
This is really the easiest to detect and implement.
While playing the game the code should be aware of a players position on the X,Y & Z axis in the playing area. I would assume the code stores the variables for the start and end position of each movement.
Now legit players can only move at a certain maximum speed (while running) along the X and Y axis, say 5 meters a second. Well if a player is caught moving faster than this, gets 10 meters in a second, then he is obviusly using a speed hack and can be automatically kicked.
Addition: We also have to consider the issue of lag. A very high ping would cause a player to stutter around the playing area so the above code might assume a speed hack is being used as they jump from one position to another, however this is a one step jump from old X to new X. The above code is for speed hackers which simply move quickly. They still move along X or Y in smaller steps. Not the big step jumps caused by lag.
1 Hit Kill Hack:
While playing againsts this type of hack we have seen they can score 4,5,6+ kills in a second. Now while this may happen occasionally for legit players, myself included, (headhosts in TD Egypt) I think most people would agree, it does not happen on every single round during a game unless a person is using a 1 Hit Kill Hack. So if it happens 3 times in a row for a player you would detect the hack.
Note: I am not talking about 4,5,6+ kills in a game (many great players can do this) but PER second and several times in a row.
Any thoughts on this? -
I am so sick of hackers. I never really complain about it, but I just played 6 games in a row where a speed hacker joined, and the worst part, NO ONE was hitting F11. One game in particular had 3 hackers. My K/D and the end of every game was around .5 or slightly higher (and yes I care about my K/D). I could not leave because I wanted to save the replay.
This is horrible, so horrible it caused me to spend 20$ on Counter Strike Source, it is rare for me to actually put money into games, and that was 20 bucks that could have gone to this game. But whats the point of spending money on a game loaded with hackers to the point where I absolutely can not enjoy a single thing about the game?
I love playing crosfire, but at this rate, I've noticed I don't even touch it anymore and I play CSS over this game almost every time now. It's very sad, and I wish something could be done about it.
The hackers have taken over this game, GM mode is dead, TD does nothing but **** me off, knife games are boring, one-hit-kill ruins every mode, specifically pistol and snipe matches to me.
This game is drowning and Z8 needs to save it. -
I just reported a speedhaker !
I'm gone watch how long it takes before he/she will be banned !
Probely not !
The problem is there is no system in the game where mods can take action ! Even the higher ranks don't kick him from there team especialy when they are losing or they kick him when they see that they are winning and the other can't win anymore !
