History: On 9/12/08 a server that had modifications made to it , with the intent to cripple the PunkBuster system, submitted data which was added to the MBI. This exploit appears to be in the EvenBalance (PunkBuster) side of things. (Streaming Game Admins can see more info in the private section)

 

PBBans has removed data that was submitted fraudulently, but the vulnerability this exploit and it's public knowledge leaves the ability to continue this exploit a real threat. No streaming server is safe.

 

Action: Please post a reply here if you desire for EvenBalance (Makers of Punk Buster) to fix the exploits in their software that potentially will cripple the users of it's software (YOU) the ability to enjoy a game without a majority of those who use cheats.

 

Also take a moment to sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/fixpb001/petition.html

 

This is not a discussion thread, simply post if you agree that EB needs to fix the software they manage.

 

Thank you,

Immature comment is not necessary and post above this is set to invisible and poster PM'ed.

At least keep it on a level that makes sense on an old threads that really do not need to be bumped.

 

PB software is what keeps us on this site after all guys.

Ok i am not sure of what actual exploit this pertains to, but i have seen PBBANS even recently banning people for PB HACK.

 

Is this the exploit being scanned that is in question?

 

If so then this so called FIX you all wish to have including myself has been done.

 

If not, then please make us more aware what exploit it is and how we as admins can help protect our servers better until PB fixes this issue.

PB Hack is a 'normal' Evenbalance/Punkbuster violation, it's been around since PB was introduced and has nothing to do with this exploit (nor PBB). This violation is triggered by people attempting to 'hack' PB; disabling and such AFAIK.

 

Basically, the exploit allows people to stream fake violations to any anti cheat site, thus resulting in innocents being added to the relevant banlists (as stated in the OP). Going into any more detail then this about it, will only result in more people using it.

 

There's currently nothing that you, or anyone except EB, can do about it.

 

I believe Evenbalance themselves even stated that they weren't planning on doing anything about it either, as it isn't a problem with their software per s

I'm sure they have. Do they care is the big question. They have their $, so I doubt it. Sorry for the rant......
