squinter Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Not sure if I have posted in the correct section but I come across a player who has managed to download server configs and gained access to the rcon password, he even went to the extent of recording himself taking over my server. *Edit* Link Removed *Edit* Player name: KK Lolwat Guid: 04b57b98 And I'm sure (if i used the guid search correctly) he has previous bans Is there anything pbbans can do other than me banning him from my server? I know about changing the server.cfg which had already been done to something random name for the .cfg but he was still able to gain access. Rcon password was also made up of random word and numbers Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartyPooper Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Wow, that sux. I'm not familiar with COD4 Rcon but is there an option to only allow Rcon from a certain IP range (eg. 120.64.*.*)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squinter Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 don't link to advertise cheats, thanks I wasn't advertising anything to do with a hack, read the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I wasn't advertising anything to do with a hack, read the post hey squinter. Thanks for the information. The issue is since the video desplays information to the "hacking site" this constitutes as "advertising cheats" on pbbans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I wasn't advertising anything to do with a hack, read the post HSMagnet sometimes has a way with words or lack thereof :P but the intentions were simply for the better since many videos or links have reference information in them and unfortunately in some cases, curiousity kills the cat. Really the only thing you can do is disable downloads in your config with this one setting, set sv_allowdownload "0" and then doing what you did with changing the config name and using a strong rcon password.

SuperTaz Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Any videos, pictures or links that show any cheat related sites constitutes cheat advertising and it will be removed by staff immediately. So, in other words, don't post them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squinter Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Sorry that wasn't my intention was just more of proof to try and get that guid banned to stop him from doing it in future, but according to what they claim it's more than just downloading the config via an exploit, same one used for cod2 etc, they are claiming they are able to do this by gaining access to the FTP and access whatever configs or files they wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Same happened to me some days ago two times. Solution: Disabling rcon and using PunkBuster webtool. But I would not wonder me when someone will download pbsv.cfg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Sorry that wasn't my intention was just more of proof to try and get that guid banned to stop him from doing it in future, but according to what they claim it's more than just downloading the config via an exploit, same one used for cod2 etc, they are claiming they are able to do this by gaining access to the FTP and access whatever configs or files they wish don't see how they can get FTP access unless the PW is easy or leaked we changed our PW regularly for RCON and FTP Edited August 29, 2010 by HSMagnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
