Hi all
1st introduction
My name is PaulStorm CL for Team Phoenix
Recently we had a player allegedly using multihacks ID 131772
http://www.pbbans.com/mbi-accbans-ab1868.html
the player is disputing the ban furiously, saying that he was hacked and somehow a person installed a hack and remotely joined our server, and got him the global ban, I looked at the issue as he was a former clan m8, and he was suggesting we hacked him ! There is history as he one time he managed to guess our admin password and logged into our admin section and deleted all our plug-in, we made a vid about this

ok after his clan m8 kept on and on about the possibility that it was us that did this, I decided to look into the possibility of his claims, although none of our clan would have the knowhow i tried some experiments of my own.
Using windows remote assistance, form my laptop to my games pc I took control of my games pc and managed to lunch call of duty 4, and then join a steaming server through xfire, although the game was unplayable on the laptop, I still managed to lunch the game and join a streaming server, I was a little shocked by this, as it proved that if somehow a person could get past all the normal windows security and get in to the host. They could in fact do this. I'm also assuming that if they can remotely operate his pc it's also possible to install software (Hacks). Although personally I feel he did this himself, as he has hacked into our web before and he took down our site.
But being a mature 42 years old I wanted to be sure his claims that we or some could not do this to him. Hence my own test, so my question is, could a person be a victim in this way?
It seems that all a hacker needs to do it get remote accesses to the host pc, i am aware of many legal remote tools on the market, and therefore many illegal ones. So basically what if a player got such a tool and took over his pc, installed a hack and joined a server, remotely, his ip and guid would be the hosts and therefore get the host pc owner a global ban!
Disturbing but it seems possible what checks do PBBans do to rule out this situation? Or do they assume if a hack is recorded that the owner if the PC is guilty? But as I mentioned before this is a crazy thing to do and personally my findings are, he is the biggest liar I've ever meet, but he did raise this interesting argument, although he would say this, and he is an admin in his own clan, and to be found guilty is simply disastrous for him and his clan, but I do not trust him at all, but technically is his claim is possible ! or am I missing something ?
Thank you
Regards Paul
