Agent.Orange Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) Hello I'm very new here, and I have setup my server to stream with PBban, but before that I caught 2 hackers using a wallhack and I still know that there playing on different servers. Who would I send these ss to get them banned for good! Also does anyone know what program is used to verify that the pbss is of a hacker?? Thanks Agent.Orange B) P.S Here's the two screen shots I took in jpg format Edited April 3, 2006 by Agent.Orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IcheBAN Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 If these screen shots are before you where streaming then there is not much they can do as that cant verify they actually took place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent.Orange Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) If these screen shots are before you where streaming then there is not much they can do as that cant verify they actually took place. how's that, if I have the orginals from the pb folder/svss couldn't I just send them over via e-mail?? Also isn't there a program that verifies that they are real?? Edited April 3, 2006 by Agent.Orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcE Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Pbss a validated via streamed server logs if your server wasn't streaming at the time then the pbss cant be validated. And please in future post the original .png files posting jpg's will cause your post to be ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Whatt my fellow streamers are trying to say is if you stream all of the work will be easier to validate.... Your SS's do infact look like a hack in progress but at PBBans they cannot add to the Master Ban Index (MBI) w\out actual streaming proof ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzer Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hello I'm very new here, and I have setup my server to stream with PBban, but before that I caught 2 hackers using a wallhack and I still know that there playing on different servers. Who would I send these ss to get them banned for good! Also does anyone know what program is used to verify that the pbss is of a hacker?? first of all let me say welcome aboard :) i'll try to explain the screenshot situation ... every ban we add to the Master Ban Index (MBI) is backed up by proof from streamed logs, this is not PBBans saying "fook you because you dont stream" :) its to protect the submitting server admin from being accused of framing someone with a faked screenshot .. this has happened in the past by less reputable admins and some of the fakes even made it past the screening process we run to see if the screenshot has been altered in any way .. so, to completely remove any element of doubt the server must be streaming when the screenshot was taken ... part of the submission process is to attach the log that contains the relevant information from your server and this is cross checked with the streamed log to give the ban 100% integrity. I hope i have explained it well enough for you to understand :) its a steep learning curve keeping a server as hack free as possible and we will assist you in any way we can to make it so, but we insist that every ban that makes it to the MBI has that 100% stamp of approval and i think all of our streaming admins would agree with that stance. if those 2 players you caught are still playing and using their hacks then its only a matter of time before they end up on our MBI or better still hardware banned :D give the admins of the servers they play on now, our web address and maybe they can join the party too :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am streaming now, so if I catch another hacker what do i do or is it all taken care of, just a question not really sure how this all works Thanks again :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzer Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 the pb folder you need to access is probably hidden .. this is sof2 specific but applies to most Q3 engine games; http://www.sof2.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=ftp.php and just coz i'm curious .. how did you access the pbss of the 2 hackers on your server ?

The PB section when you right click on it will show an SS folder,,,click on that again, SS's wil be there for uploading :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I snapped the pbss myself in rcon pb_sv_getss it puts them in pb folder svss folder. Hey one more question someone just told my about a script that hides your hack by showing a screen shot of example score board, is this true?? Just wondering because I do have some pbss like that! Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Again theres a lot of pbss blockers about and give various results from all black to shots of the sky etc etc .. most are detected and those that are caught will invariably end up with a hardware ban .. its very hard to prove a blocker is in use thats why its important to keep up to speed with the cvars/md5's that are added to your game MCI as we get them :) the svss folder in the pb directory is were your pbss are stored .. have you got PB_SV_AutoSs 1 in your pbsv.cfg ?

I do now thanks, so does that take random ss? Keeping up to speed with cvar/md5?? Where and how do I get this info Thanks one day soon I'll be up to speed!!

Now one more question : ) I have a linux server running codUo, I have notice only one issue since i started streaming, the server seems to lag out then crash everynight. I've talked to my server people and they asked if anything has changed. i told them that i stream with pbban. Is there any issue's I should know about that maybe someone else has had with running a Linux server?? Just wondering Thanks again Edited April 7, 2006 by Agent.Orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering Thanks again every Jolt server i have access to is linux and the rtcw ones i stream have no issues what so ever .. when you say the server lags out and crashes .. does this happen at the same time every night .. a lot of GSP's run a crontab script that shuts the server down and restarts it at selected times (i know mine do) this takes all of 2 mins and ensures a nice smooth game for the other 23hrs 58mins of the day :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent the new info in. Also do I add the cvar/md5 to my pbsv.cfg? If so does it matter where in the cfg?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzer Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 nice to hear m8 :) re cvars and md5's they are all here for ya and all you have to do is copy/paste into your pbsvuser.cfg :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
