Title: Is BE alive ?

Let them play lul. Eventually they will get bored and leave themselves.

Unfortunately most of them are so amused by finally getting kills (Lack of skill...) that they don't "just leave themselves" until they get kicked 50-100 times, or the admin gets in.

BE is dead for sure. Sable doesnt care anymore. I have talked to him before and all he said was that he is too busy right now. Like 1.5's BE doesnt do anything right now. There has been hacks that have been turned into him but he hasnt done anything cause BE still isn't picking them up. I'm getting really sick of it, we need someone new who can do this.

Recently i also saw another thing that i haven't seen before, which is healing at any place of the map (i think it was some kind of teleporting and yes, the server had BE)...


just wanted to say it if that helps with the updating of BE, not trying to turn this into a hack or hackers topic.

Post by: JFK on July 31, 2009, 12:24:49 pm
I'm just dropping an idea here I had a while ago, and of course it has been thought of before.

Most cheaters use only client-side hacks, meaning they alter stuff only on thier own system. This means in order to look for hacking techniques one needs a client-side anti-cheat system. Problem is, because it's client-side it's also hack-able and thus can be bypassed. This means that there is a "war" going on that's mostly about programming skills.

But there's a different approach. Instead of looking on the computer of the user to find and identify hacks and hacking techniques, one could look at player behaviour. All the information about that behaviour resided on the server, plus the developers of this system will only have to find out what the cheats "do", instead of "how they work". Simple things like warping around server, or mass kill are easy to detect, there were even serverscripts that could do that.

Basically this way the "field of war" is shifted to something that probably more people are able to quickly understand, thus meaning that a group of people could contribute or maybe even create an open source program.

Some things I found about this:

Damn, this sounds bad. Is it possible to make BE, integrated into soldat.exe so it cant be messed with? Because its a file just sitting there that hows people can bypass it.
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: 8th_account on July 31, 2009, 04:02:34 pm
I've no idea what I'm talking about, but apparently BE and Soldat are very tightly integrated to the extent that Sable has to cooperate with Enesce to release updates. And since Enesce has sodded off somewhere and just updates his blag I'd blame him mostly.
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: Stealth on July 31, 2009, 04:39:12 pm
Hmm...if BE was removed (since its apparently not doing its job) then Linux players could get on the servers again. X-D However, it would be nice to see more anti-cheat procedures taken (preferrably in Soldat itself)

Atleast 1.3 was less bugged and laggy ^____________^
anyway As any anti hacking protection,All of them fail in the end...But the most intresting thing is that be is actully good.
Why do people try to make hacks for this little game? Could it be that this game is so awsome?(i agree) ..
Hope BE will release an update and block all the hacking from soldat.

Isn't there some way to completely ban someone from every server, even if they can change their IP.
But only usable by one person, with plenty of evidence.

Or make it so you have to register (for free), and then gold version(for people who pay).
Make it so you don't register through hotmail or anything, something where it's only possible to register once on a single pc.
Then if someone screws up, they're gone with no way to register again on that pc!

Even make it a server option. So you have to activate it on your server, or you can leave it, and make it non registered players can join!
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: homerofgods on August 02, 2009, 01:54:28 am
well.. if you'r registrated... you have your adress there, you can't have unlimited adresses to send the registration to.
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: Shard on August 02, 2009, 05:40:33 am
I think, what he is saying is, like Hexer, you make an account(that's where similarities end) , and that authenticates you to use the lobby. So only by registering can you play, and if your caught hacking, BANHAMMER!

The thing where only allowing one reg on each computer I don't get. Seems like you would need to have a file that edited the registry's on your computer, like when you register soldat. I guess they would need a new email every time they wanted to register(effort lol)

After that, I guess your name would be saved along with your account name, and you wouldn't be able to change it, which would lead to the need to add a extra clan tag box the you put your clan tag in to appear b4 your name, more effort on the Dev's part.

All of this would over complicate soldat, and can be solved by anyone being bothered to update BE....

You can NOT have an account system on a free game. These systems only work at payed games like with Steam. Someone can just make as many accounts as he likes. This can only work if you have a payed for a game and you have to buy it again to have a new account.
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: Mittsu on August 02, 2009, 03:17:32 pm
if you think account system would stop hackers in anyway, you're propably wrong. IP is changable, and i believe messing up with registries wouldnt be that hard for the people who know about hacking stuff.

PS3 has a free account system. Look at Xbox LIVE though, you have to pay, but people have more than one account, I know someone with 7 paid accounts. People are dumb. Though seeing as soldat has no ranking system, you'd only need one account.

Besides. Accounts are lame. There goes easy name changing...

BE is just like Spybot, obselete. We'll just have to vote Hackers out.

Shouldn't there be something in BE that means you can only run soldat itself without hacks, so if someone is killing everyone, it goes "Woah! that's not part of soldat's core! BANHAMMER". Unless a script is running, there should be no non-soldat things able to happen.
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: F4||3N on August 02, 2009, 07:23:17 pm
It was just a suggestion.
What I meant with not registering with an email, you could;
register with these forums -
then register Soldat using forum account.

therefore you'd have to make a new email, a new soldat forum account.
and with all the admins, it wouldn't be too hard figuring out if someones making multi accounts.

but like you said, that's a big pain in the @$$, especially since hackers aren't that big of a problem!
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: croat1gamer on August 03, 2009, 12:58:17 am
Yes, and now all soldat players would have to register here.
And if they get banned, just make a new account on a new email.

With anti hacks and hacks its like with copy protection and cracks.
After some new version gets released, there should follow a crack/hack for the same.
Its like the rule 35 of anti-*name goes here* programs.

BE is running currently, but its missing one of its vital features, which is detection of the WriteProcessMemory winapi function (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681674%28VS.85%29.aspx). This detection usually picks up the most common .exe hacks. BE is however still detecting d3d hooks and any code changes to soldat.exe's memory.
I have no idea why WriteProcessMemory detection is missing in the current version, possibly sable somehow broke it by accident? Anyway, hope this clears things up a bit :)

The issue with things such as anti cheat scripts that detect large amounts of warp etc. and ban people for it (as was suggested somewhere earlier in the thread) is that while it would be a good method for banning obvious cheaters, it would be utterly useless for detecting hackers who do not want to be found.

For example in sctfl 13 and srl 6 a large number of people were using aim bots, no bink hacks etc. these would be impossible to detect without some form of client side anti cheat to detect them, since there are no obvious effects from the hacks (such as excessive warp) that would be detectable just through server side anti cheat.
Title: Re: Is BE alive ?
Post by: F4||3N on August 04, 2009, 09:02:20 am
Couldn't it detect if a player is shot, and no bink is caused?
For every hack made, there MUST be some way of detecting it, even aimbot.

Post by: Squakingcow on August 04, 2009, 09:47:31 am
You can detect them with a client side app (BE), but with a serverside script (as people have been suggesting) it would be very hard to do and also very ineffective.

Bink is only stored clientside, and since bink makes your shots randomly go off there's every chance they could still go straight.

Bink is only stored clientside, and since bink makes your shots randomly go off there's every chance they could still go straight.
Not detecting if the bullets caused by bink are shot randomly (the effect from bink)
but have a bink meter, like ping meter.
if the bink meter isn't moving, then a no bink hack must be active.

I think this has been suggested (probably in this topic); would integrating BE completely into Soldat make a difference?

though that'd require complete reformat of Soldat; (Zoh Mai GAWD! Every fix requires a complete change in code)

Is soldat had a better management, and if MM hadn't lost his interest with it, and maybe cared about it and wanted it to become something big, he'd advertised it better and maybe sold it to someone with the money for an investment like that.

I appreciate that $able is doing this for free and everything, but BE used to detect most hacks, now there are hackers everywhere using teleport >without< a BE bypass. It's undetected.

Actually, this has been made. Look in script releases, i think. I knows a anti-teleport script has been made, but i dunno if it was realeased on this forum. I think it was. The problem with it was that it detected laggers, also, because when people lag the seem to be teleporting. Anti-mass flag is already built into soldat. There really isn't much left. Anti Mass Kill would be impossible to detect because a person can very well have loads of kills in a row.

He browses the forums (and is browsing them right now, in fact) and has undoubtedly seen this topic, so I don't know why he doesn't just make a quick post to let us know BE's status, even if it's only to tell us that he's finished with it.

Alright, the reason is I didn't have lots of time lately and also wasn't too motivated because of internal problems (you might know what I am talking about). I will probably update BE soon, but I can't tell you when.

Sorry for trouble.
Nice to see you still remember about Soldat. You've already done a lot for Soldat, so thank you for your continued support. I hope you fix your problems soon as well. :)

Many people have problem with punkbuster. How many games have you played that use PB? Soldat already is buggy enough. Imagine what it would be like with buggy anti-cheat.
Not to mention that it'll cost quite a lot to add PB support for Soldat.

15 days so far and still nothing? I look at these hacking websites and see that a hack for soldat has like 2,000 views and over one hundred downloads, and usually the first thing I do is send it in to sable to get detected. But i done that a handfull of times during the summer and those hacks probably still work today. I rarely even play soldat anymore cause this shit. I would go into a server and see this no name player just popping off head shots and talking like hes pro. Maybe back in the day when BE worked I might of thought he was that good, but now I dont trust anyone.
I been really wanting to get more active with my clan and CW more, but with over 1,000 hacks downloaded its just too shady to play because you never know if the other clan is that good, or just using a hack.

This is just another example why one person shouldnt be incharged of a major part of soldat.
This game just keeps on going down hill.

Battleye is so alive in fact, that in the latest update, everytime someone joins the server, it spams the console with 'BattlEye Server: Player #*number* *name*'. I've disabled it on both my servers now, it's nothing but spam and false banning.

It's no spam, it's a regular information about the player that joined. For example it contains the player ID that can be used to kick the player via BE later. In other games it also includes the BE GUID.

That's not quite true, is it. For example, a player 12 joined the server, thus filling it, with a BattlEye player ID of 1. Then someone leaves and someone else joins and fills the server with an ID of 2. Then a few people leave and someone else joins and oh look, he has an ID of 1.

Secondly, how is something that is meaningless to anything but BattlEye (in fact, seemingly meaningless to it too) not spamming the console?

Don't you remember the PM I sent you?

I don't know FLAB or EnEsCe that well, so I decided to tell you.

I'm not positive, but there is something wrong, really wrong in 1.5. I saw a player spawning where ever he wants in a CTF map. We kept killing him, but he spawns back close to our base. It didn't seem like a bug, because that would only happen once. It actually looked more like a hack.

I'm sensing that some people passed through the Battle Eye; and it will be wise to get a new version of anti-hack detector(?).

I know I'm not allowed to make a thread about this, so I decided to PM a moderator. You were close to FLAB and an understanding person.

Thing is, the soldat hacking "community" always seems to have programs out that pretty much zeroes out BE's effectiveness, and that's *possibly* because of sable's absence. Maybe now that he's back he'll change stuff around and make it harder for them to get around it.

@ tehsnipah- Well, if you have once 3 lvl 50 really good hexer players (in one of the best hexer clans) spawning at a single point in 1.4.2, you ask yourself...

Iirc, it was linked to a bug in aetherwalk/body double, as it started when one of them used one of those powers, killed the flagger and simultaneously returned their flag and got our flag.
Then they started just popping out at the point where he used the power.

Anti hacks are built inside Soldat / the server, so they might just be in Delphi or possibly c++ loaded via a module of some sort. They work by making sure no one has altered Soldat's memory or are controlling it oddly, and seeing if players are doing anything suspicious.

Yes, BE bypasses are private, last time I checked, there isn't a public one. As long as BE detects public hacks (at LEAST) with unfailing efficacy ( ;) ), it will eliminate most of the hackers in the servers. Also, soldat hackers aren't very smart (really), if $able works hard, I bet he can make a protection that protects against all hacks. That one BE bypass is no longer being updated, and the maker gone, without it, we can finally have a hack free soldat! Call me optimistic, but I truely believe this is so. BE was doing real good, wasn't it? It can do it again. Like I said as long as the public hacks are detected, I doubt there will be any hackers left in the servers.

We should stop calling them hackers. I prefer to call them cheaters.

BattlEye was detecting almost every hack, but it went somewhat backwards and now even public ones are undetected.
That's because of the new version and changed locations. Maybe there is a better way when jumping on the next version, how knows (ofc $able should know it ;) ).

I can't believe some people are retarded enough to pay for hacks. It would be easier to learn how to do it...I agree BE was doing well.
Some people like to pay for special powers it's like the extra stuff you get in free mmorpgs when you pay and it seems to work in Soldat too.
