    GUID UNK

    in Soldier of Fortune 2

    Posted

    Why am I getting kicked for PB Guid Auth: UNKN?

     

    The "PB GUID AUTH: UNKN" kicking means that your Game client is not sending a valid cdkey to Raven's cdkey auth server. Usually this is due to a problem with your cdkey entry. Exit SoF2 and then use your Windows explorer program to find the "base\mp" folder where SoF2 is installed on your system and delete the file called sof2key. Launch SoF2 directly and before you get to the game's main menu, it should ask you to enter your cdkey. If this does not fix the problem, then perhaps there is some type of firewall or security software blocking your game's communication to Raven's cdkey auth server. Be sure that UDP port 20112 is open for clear communication if you have a firewall or some type of security software.

    If you are running a SoF2 dedicated server with PB on your own PC or in your LAN and have internet connection on this server, you have to use the pb_sv_lanmask setting added since PB Server v1.039 as described in our documentation. If you do not use this you will be kicked. The reason is that when you connect to a LAN game your game client does not send any information to the Auth Server. However, the PB Server will contact the Auth Server and find that your GUID is unknown.

    As of PB Client 1.043, we have a new PB command called pb_cdkeyver which forces PB to send a Cdkey Authorize packet to Raven's Cdkey Auth Server for players who get GUID UNKN on PB Servers. Try entering /pb_cdkeyver into your console before joining a server to see if that helps.

    Note: A cdkey is only valid if you bought the game and have a cdkey on your cd-case! Using a cdkey generator will allow you to overcome the checksum check within SoF2, stating that your cdkey is valid - it is only valid for single player though and will not allow you to play on the internet.

    Our Enemy Territory server has been streaming since last night, and i just checked the latest 20 bans added to the Master Ban Index (MBI), and the top two on the list were busted while playing on my clans ETPub server.

     

    I feel all fuzzy inside now. :D

    top 3 of the latest 20 lol

    word spreads and your server will get a hell of a lot more decent players and a lot less hackers :)

    problem with sS on linux

    in Call of Duty 2

    Posted

    hi AurAL :)

     

    the topic in one of our irc channels:

    * Topic is 'cod2 linux binaries are not official ones and the autopbss facility aint working with them //cod2 guid's obtained from linux servers are 31 characters in length - hopefully the official release will cure this prob'

     

    as a workaround you can manually set up the taking of pbss using the task command:

     

    PB_SV_Task 0 30 PB_SV_GetSS slot# (this will take a pbss from the specified slot # every 30secs)

    you have to individually enter each task dependant on the number of slots your server has .. to check that the command has worked you can type PB_SV_TList to view them

     

    you can then enter the PB_SV_SsPath command:

    If specified (default is "" empty), PB will write captured screen shot images obtained from connected players to this alternate location, this can be a network share or some other location where you would prefer to place screen shot images and the "helper" htm

     

    hopefully IW and Activision will get their act together pdq and release a fix so we can all enjoy the benefits that a fully working PB gives to server admins, and coupled with the PBans Master Config Index will ensure as clean a gaming environment as we can provide :)

    somehow this information:

    pb_sv_AliasMax

    pb_sv_aliasmaxenforce

    pb_sv_USessionLimit

    pb_sv_UConTimeout

     

    is overwriting the info in the pbsvlog.cfg you are uploading/creating, after a certain amount of time.

    so you are ending up with a pbsvlog.cfg that has this in it:

    pb_sv_AliasMax XXXX //[remote_log_username]

    pb_sv_aliasmaxenforce XXXX //[remote_log_password]

    pb_sv_USessionLimit 63.171.64.22 //[remote_log_address]

    pb_sv_UConTimeout 24389 //[remote_log_port]

    :unsure:

    your pbsvlog.cfg should contain:

    pb_sv_LogUser "XXXX" //[remote_log_username]

    pb_sv_LogPw "XXXX" //[remote_log_password]

    pb_sv_LogAddr "63.171.64.22" //[remote_log_address]

    pb_sv_LogPort 24389 //[remote_log_port]

     

    and nothing else

     

    pb_sv_AliasMax - setting defaults to 0 which means alias tracking is disabled; set to some value above 0 to enable and to specify how many aliases will be stored for each GUID; if the player uses more aliases than the max, the later ones will be ignored

     

    pb_sv_aliasmaxenforce defaults to 0; if set to 1, PB will kick players who try to use more than pb_sv_aliasmax number of aliases; also if set to 1, PB will warn joining players just like it does for extended ascii characters, etc.

     

    pb_sv_usessionlimit setting determines how many concurrent PB UCON sessions are allowed to be active at any point in time

     

    pb_sv_ucontimeout setting determines the length of the timeout period in seconds (default is 300).

     

    either you or your gsp need to find out whats causing this,then stamp on it,burn it,nuke it,scream at it, and all will be well :)

     

    fingers crossed eh lol

    What can be done...

    there is a lot more than 1 person being caught on our streaming servers,the problem is that most players,especially on linux servers generate a 31 character guid which changes when they enter other servers .. this renders the pb guid absolutely useless :(

     

    info:

    click me

     

    from what i understand the problem is the IW/Activision master auth server and is being worked on as a matter of urgency as we type.

     

    info:

    click me

     

     

    Can we somehow force some type of allow file that would make for modifications being BANNED FROM OUR SERVER

    set sv_pure "1" // referenced files must be same as server

     

    Does having a low grade or old video card cause persons to actually play better than someone with a higher one

    afaik no

    thank you, he also said he lives next door the the punkbuster admin LOL

    So, if he sends falsified screen shots to PB they will not do a hardware ban or anything like that?

    even i have the capability to spot falsified screenshots :D

    ban and ignore till he grows up

    Thanks

    :blink:

    hi m8 .. idiots like this threaten dire things all the time .. nothing as funny as an internet hardman eh :) .. unless he has access to your 2 clan leaders personal computers and cd keys ban and ignore would be my next course of action as he is talking absolute crap :)

    Is PunkBuster Still Supporting Enemy Territory?

    Thats good to hear.

     

    I check my servers pb_sv_cheat.log file every day, and im amazed at the number of people PB catches on a daily basis running some type of hack or another..............it really amazes me.

     

    One thing i have noticed tho is when PB catches someone on one of my servers, it only bans em for two minutes........then they come right back only to be banned for two more minutes.

     

    How can i make PB ban the people permanently instead of the two minute ban?

     

    Anyway, im off to try and get my servers to stream here.................wish me luck.

    the streaming option is the best way to keep your server as clean as possible :)

     

    the 2 mins is the standard pb kick for a violation,when your streaming all those hack kicks will automatically turn into bans and be added to our Master Ban Index(MBI) .. and by running PBBans Master Config Index(MCI) in conjunction with PBBans MBI will ensure your server stays as clean as we can make it .. any probs with streaming just make a post in the PBBans streaming center here click me and someone will assist you asap .. we are also available on irc: quakenet network channel: #pbbans

    What is this?

    in General Discussions

    Posted

    the extent of our knowledge is this:

    80121 - raised false positives and has been removed from the PB system

     

    80139 + 80155 - are kicks for modified game exe's;

     

    80155 - is for pirating EF

    80139 - can be triggered by some users of ABR who use a proxy to view their stats

     

    we have not been informed of anything else

    well i have played call of duty from the day it came out and now i play call of duty 2 i think that a good way of stoping hackers is to just find the sites were its downloaded from and ban the hacks wouldn't that work

    hi re4per :) a brief explanation of what goes on here .. PBBans collects hacks by various means,both public and private and then dissects them for relevant cvars and md5 hashes .. we then post any updates to our Master Config Indexes which our streaming admins can then apply to their servers .. this makes their servers as cheat free as we can make them .. we are ardent supporters of PB and although its the best out there it needs that extra help our cvar/md5 checks give to it to make it a hell of a lot better .. anyone detected by PB or raises a cheat / md5 hack violation gets added to our Master Ban Index which is freely available for any concerned admin to intergrate with their own bans .. hope that explains a few things for ya m8 .. anything else that concerns ya feel free to post :)

    What happened to the Master Ban Index (MBI) for CoD2?

    in Call of Duty 2

    Posted

    Used to be 9 on there... Now just one? Any info as to why the decrease in bans that the community should be aware of?

    the 31 character guid's were removed because the guid's change with every linux server you enter rendering all catches with a 31 character guid useless.

    The PBBans parser is now set to automatically reject 31 character guid's.

     

    the latest news on when that will be fixed can be found here:

     

    click me

     

    the cvar/md5 scans work perfectly its just the 31 guid's that are the problem caused by some glitch with the IW/Activision master auth server or PB depending on what forum you read.

     

    This problem along with a host of other problems within the game itself will hopefully be fixed in the near future but looking at the track record of IW thus far i would not hold my breath :P

     

    in the meantime cheaters who frequent linux servers have a "get out of jail free card" :(

    obviously not interested in stating what server / was the server streaming / was the server running PBBans configs ... and oh so obviously unwilling to accept the fact that his friend was caught with a cheat dll in his game directory .. dont like the answers here ? try some other anti cheat site and see what you get.
