Punk Buster

So I have a question, is punk buster really as inefficient as I'm hearing from everyone on servers? Seems kind of useless if so many people can just get by. Like today on the server we had to aim botters, no doubt, over 100 HS's in first 7 minutes of game. But So its really that inaffective or what?

there a lots of hax that get blocked by pb.. and i mean lots..

but there also hax ppl pay for those are most of the time undetected by pb.. and when they make a screenshot there is just a normal player there..

hi unlucky for us apparently the latest round of aimbots dont show up difrent on screenshots and can bypass pb with ease, so its back to finding out and banning them , as we found out last night simple ban is not good enough..even though using pb to do it , but ip ban seems still to work ... any1 intrested last nights aimbotter was banned 5 times but still got in the ip ban finaly worked :P

PB_SV_BadName [grace_seconds] [text_filter]
Adds a bad name to the list of bad names for the server to disallow in player names

put [nC] in the disallowed names because a few of the hackers that were on our server were from that clan.. :O

Who the hell actually pays for hax? They could easily just learn to write their own or even better, learn how to play :P

Hi guys it´s terri

This seems like "dejavu" to me... been not long since we talked about PB, and admin testing cheats and stuff :roll:

My last opinion in the matter wich stands is that PB is useful but hardly enough, said before that i think some admins should test cheats (not to become cheaters) :P, but to see them working and how they donne so we can understand their mechanism and block them better, or allow them better :wink:

BTW there is a groing opinion that security systems as general shouldn't block intrusions yet allow them without permiting them to harm systems. Thought about aim botters problem...

Why do a aim boter use aimbot? He wants to be a better player? Guess not cause killing doesn´t make you the better player and using bot doesn´t permit you to upgrade your skills.
So wants to ruin everyone fun? maybe soo, but an hacker as other means to do that like put servers down and stuff...

So what i think moves boters is the will to kill more players then others...now if we notice one and kick him what he tries to do? Get back again any way he can right? So if we permit him to stay and some how (dunno if is possible), create a command for refs to use to aply on him so he can´t do no harm to other players, just being around like a mupit, his shots don´t harm any one, well i guess he will leave by him self and don´t comeback to the server so soon. Cause that way his objectiv is really not beeing acomplished. 8)

Cya all tkx for reading my crazy ideas :P

PB isn't updated for ET anymore, I think. So it's not like we can hope for anything to be improved, I suppose Bani can help the cheating situation with etpro but PB is essentially finished for ET (I think anyway).
