http://www.pbbans.com/generate.php?action=5&ban_id=7841 there is an appeal procedure if you think the ban is not right http://www.pbbans.com/appeal_ban.php

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

all a question of wether its needed or not ..i've heard all the rumours, but unless there is an official announcement its safe to say ET is, and will be in the future, supported by PB :)

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 :)

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.

yep .. gfx glitch caused by certain hardware setups .. i have seen the same thing countless times on my own rtcw servers :)

when he gets back from iraq in june i'm sure he will appreciate your comments B00 :)

there is a hell of a difference between a sof2 pk3 that raised a handful of bans and a cheat dll caught with a md5 scan, and no, it does not need to be done here. what server was he caught on ? does that server stream to PBBans? does the server run PBBans configs?

no problem, just enter the commands one at a time and hopefully all will be good :)

hi m8 and welcome :) if you use this option .. dont forget to pm a staff member with your selected username and password :)

you wanted answers and from what i see you have all you need to know :) the answers just dont fit in with your perception of what your friend is like .. let me go through it all for you ..your friend connected to a server that has a vigilant admin who runs md5 scans on all connecting players for known hack dll's / exe's etc .. your friends computer was detected as having a known hack dll in his game directory .. your friend got kicked for this violation and is probably on that servers banlist .. if the server streams its logs to an anti cheat site he will be on their banlist and that banlist will be available to any admin who wants to integrate bans with their own .. as far as i'm aware no one bans for an fx_sort kick but that is not what you were asking about .. bottom line is, your friend got busted with a cheat dll in his game directory .. if the dll was not there it would not have been detected and all would be well in the world :) you have 2 options .. you can have complete faith in your friend and continue to play servers that dont have him on their banlist. or you can drop him from the clan and move on does the server he was caught on stream to PBBans? does the server he was caught on run PBBans recommended configs for cod2?

no offence but,i aint about to give complete strangers any hack information that we possess, suffice to say that cod2.dll is present in 3 hacks that we know about and have in our cheat collection point so no mistake in our detection of said dll B)

cod2.dll is from a known hack .. this means that your friend or someone who has access to his computer downloaded/installed a cheat for cod2,with that in mind i can quite categorically state that absolutely nothing will be done about this :) from your complete belief in your friend not being a cheat i take it you were sitting beside him when he got his kick and can confirm that a hack was not present in his game directory :P

if its just the one server your being kicked from,maybe this question would be better aimed at the server admin :)

when cod2 sorts out all the bugs that are currently afflicting it ..like 31 character guids that change every time you join a server i'm sure you will see the ban count start to rise :) welcome btw :)

all looks good from this end :) thanks a lot for your support and welcome aboard

there are a variety of reasons why a pbss turns out all black,ranging from what operating system the client is using to what hardware set up is in the clients pc .. the time to check a bit more thouroughly is if you get all black screenshots mixed in with good ones .. this is just a small indicator of a pbss blocker in use but is by no means a rule of thumb :) unless your getting bugged by a particular admin as to why your producing just all black pbss i would not worry too much about it :)

after a google search: 05/27/2005 16:05:09 - "Hendrik Thole" Note #2: These kicks are when PunkBuster detects a modification of your game exe running in memory. I recommend that you run a virus/malware scan of your computer to see if anything is trying to attach itself to the running program. Also run a memory stress test to see if there is a fault there that could be causing issues. You can find such a program on the following website: http://www.memtest86.com/ 05/27/2005 09:53:18 - "SwS11" Note #1: Ticket submitted to support staff.

firstl manually update your PB client using PBsetup click me then: How do I know if I am PunkBuster Authenticated? Old versions of PunkBuster went through "Authentication" procedures every few minutes and announced when each player had been Authenticated. The newer, integrated version is constantly Authenticating players during gameplay. To check your current status, press the tilde key (~) to bring down the Game Console. Enter "pb_plist" into the Game console (without the quotes) and then press the Tab key so the Game knows you are entering a command, then press the Enter key. The current PunkBuster status of all players will be displayed - use the PageUp / PageDown keys if necessary to scroll the console text up and down. There are 3 modes of PunkBuster status: INIT, UPDT, and OK. If it says OK next to a player's name, then that player is currently Authenticated. hope this helps :)

well .. short lived lol :) the 2 servers are in the repository but not been streaming for 2 days now ..any probs we can help on m8 ?

for what its worth stymie ..when i first read your post i did a count and came up with 31 at first .. i even split the guid into packets of 5 and came up with 31 ..when i mentioned it to foxdie on irc he came up with 32 .. wtf lol .. maybe its 31 paranoia setting in but like you m8 i elected to crawl under the same rock lolol :D i even checked the streamed log later and it was a 32 guid ..an age thing i guess :P

streaming nicely with all relevant details added .. thanks guys :)

although we do our best to keep on top of released hacks re cvar and md5 scans .. there are a few private hacks that as yet are unidentified and will only be picked up by vigilant admins via pbss .. personally i check all the servers i have access to,twice a day for hacks that will only be spotted via this method. Adding a 31 character guid to your banlist will do no good m8 .. from what i understand the guid changes each time you enter a different server .. what is needed is an official release of linux binaries that at least have PB working correctly :)

thanks kcinc0gnito .. both servers are in the rep .. need username / password / clantag via pm now :)
