    BEst way to capture and setup servers to catch hackers

    in General Discussions

    This doesn't count for ET. Since Pbbans doesn't ban based on IP, but on GUID. Since the guids on ET are renewable, streaming adds as much as PB :) The only exception on the statement.

     

    FalcoN

    and just to be ambiguous all anti cheat sites ban by guid - the guid's on ET are renewable and we all know how easy it is to change it,but, there is always a but :) , pb will only put up with so much before a hardware ban is applied,which is a bit harder for the average player to get around, the cheaters forums are full of whines about them being hardware banned and not being able to get round it, personally i would like to see hardware bans issued directly on first offender cheaters, especially in free games like ET and FEAR Combat

    hi i have one more question, we have to restart the server a lot, (wont in the future, we just adding maps)

    so when pb is disabled, will it still be streaming?

     

    or will i have to do this again

     

    ??

    every time your server restarts it loads the pbsv.cfg in your root pb directory - so you only have to set all this up once and thats it :)

     

    you can always check your server streaming status yourself by using the search feature here click me

    Fozzer you old bloody sod.....................i added your cvars and bad names( are this the names people mostly call you in here.?) :o :P :P .......thanks for that.

    :lol: :D

    :) the most controversial of those cvars is this one;

    pb_sv_cvar "com_maxfps" IN 43 125

     

    that forces all who connect to have their maxfps between 43 and 125 fps - now, i personally have a gfx card that consistently delivers 400+ fps on ET and it gives me a huge advantage on players who are nowhere near that high end range - by forcing all to play within 43 - 125 fps it makes the server a lot fairer and even for most who connect - with servers i have control of creating a level playing field for the majority is one of my main aims - as always its the server admins choice on what restrictions they should make.

     

    An explanation of most ET related cvars can be found here;

    have fun B)

    we recommend standard Rep. streaming for servers that will stand empty for long periods of time (only used for clan wars etc)

     

    we recommend the Hub for busy public servers.

     

    the rep detected bans get added to the mbi when the logs are parsed (once a day) the hub detected bans get added to the mbi and every other hub server's pbbans.dat instantly

     

    it's entirely your choice to decide what best suits you :)

     

    you can stream any amount of servers using exactly the same pbsvlog.cfg that you are using on your streaming server now - just make a post with the IP/Port exactly how you did for the server you have streaming now, and dont forget each server needs the pbsvlog.cfg and the command line ;

    pb_sv_load pbsvlog.cfg //load remote logging settings (if pbsvlog.cfg exists) added to each servers pbsv.cfg :)

     

    why not try 2 streaming via the Rep. and 2 streaming via the PBBans Hub - after a week you can decide whats best for you :)

    for clanbase admins using the PBBans Hub

    The recent decision by cb admins to force cod2 clans to stream to gv does not affect your streaming to PBBans in any way if you are streaming via the PBBans Hub

     

    admins who are using the PBBans Hub can leave everything as it is and and use the standard rep method to stream to gv - as always PBBans is always about offering their supporters choice and not forcing anything on them :)

    yes :P

     

    you have a base pbsv.cfg on your server now - it checks for the latest hack related cvars and md5 scans and autoss is now enabled - you can add your own bad names and maybe look at a few standard pb cvar restrictions to create a level playing field for all who connect ;

     

    example:

    ;Badname List - pb_sv_badname [grace_period_secs] [disallowed text]
pb_sv_badname 60 f*ck
pb_sv_badname 60 c*nt
pb_sv_badname 60 WANK
pb_sv_badname 60 SHIT
pb_sv_badname 60 NIGGER
pb_sv_badname 60 NIGGA
pb_sv_badname 60 NIGG@
pb_sv_badname 60 JEW
pb_sv_badname 60 NAZI
pb_sv_badname 60 BASTARD

    if your going to stream via the PBBans Hub then a username and password is not required

     

    following the troubleshooting guide has resolved every hub problem up till now - i dont know how i can make the streaming setup instructions any simpler than what they are, any suggestions welcome.

     

    are you using the right pb folder on your server ?

     

    pb_sv_homepath - this will tell you the exact location of your PB folder

     

    is your server running the latest version of pb ?

     

    pb_sv_ver - this will tell you what version your server is running, paste the server response in a post or pm

     

    do you have a blank file (pbucon.use) in your root pb folder ?

     

    you say you have followed the rcon instructions on hub streaming, can you paste the server response in a post or pm.

     

    the private message facility (pm) on the forum works fine btw

    there are 2 methods of streaming that PBBans uses - the standard repository (rep.) method and the unique to PBBans Hub method.

     

    the rep. method uses a pbsvlog.cfg etc and the Hub utilises pbucon - both methods are explained here:

    http://www.pbbans.com/forums/index.php?showforum=346

     

    if an admin streams to psb or gv for example he can only use the standard rep method to stream - any admin that streams elsewhere can use the PBBans Hub to stream here also. PBBans is atm the only anti cheat site that has developed a working,stable and secure multistreaming option.

    The Hub also works extremely well as a stand alone method of streaming and is especially good for busy public servers.

    If your server is going to stand empty for long periods (only used for clan wars) the rep. method would suit best.

    still not correctly configured

     

    if you type /rcon pb_sv_uconlist

     

    and get this response :

     

    PunkBuster Client: [slot] [Type] [Mask] [Name]

    PunkBuster Client: 1 1 63.171.64.245 pbbans

    PunkBuster Client: End of PB UCON Profile List (1 Entry)

     

    you know your server is ok - any other response = something aint right
