Join port

[Furai]

Lately I've noticed that cheaters join the game through some weird ports. Is it have something to do with certain cheats?


PS. If it's wrong section - move the thread.

what do you mean join from some weird ports? like what ports are you seeing, and what ports do you see from a normal client?

[Furai]

I'll pate here examples. (From arsse log files)

Normal ones:

Code: [Select]

*** joining game (189.*.*.*:23073)
*** joining game (87.*.*.*:23073)
*** joining game (85.*.*.*:23073)

Weird ones (actually the one begining with 10* were constantly cheating)

Code: [Select]

*** joining game (88.*.*.*:10013)
*** joining game (89.*.*.*:62417)
*** joining game (189.*.*.*:1428)

Names and IPs were censored.

there is no reason to join a specific port to hack...

I'll wait for non-omg-I-will-get-plus-one-post-count-if-i-post-here to response as well. I'm interested in what FLAB have to say.

PS: Major, no offence.

Joining from any specific port offers absolutely no purpose, it is either just coincidence or they are using a UDP proxy.

[Furai]

But some cheats may use proxys to have something alike dynamic IP? If I understood right?

[Stuffy]

Proxys and dynamic ips have nothing to do with each other. A Proxy is a server with a static ip that you can use for hiding your ip. A dynamic ip is, f.e, if you restart your router and get another ip each restart.
