Especially since Steam is in place, now, meaning Valve has real-time control over the game client, you'd think anti-cheat measures would be much more effective and efficient now. Basically just integrate C-D into the servers and the clients, and you're good to go. -- Eric (the Deacon remix) ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Re: [hlds_linux] Re: [hlds] Now have 850 banned Steam ID's from crash cheat abusive players
I'm not impressed with their (steambans) execution. I registered a bunch of servers and they never ever scanned them after the first setup scan. So I deleted the configs from steambans.com and changed all my rcon passwords. on the other hand, the we adopted the adjudication model requiring a demo with status listing and screenshot. This has helped us nail a whole lot of speed hackers. The system I am building is geared in a different way and a lot more towards enterprise server management. What I am doing will not require rcon access to servers. that is too plain a security risk to even go that way. Regards...

Re: [hlds_linux] Re: [hlds] Now have 850 banned Steam ID's from crash cheat abusive players
Original message from wArgOd: I'm not impressed with their (steambans) execution. I am not impressed with their judgement either. I've had a few people obviously hacking on my server and looked up their steamID there, which was listed as being let off the hook. Perhaps they want to play it safe, but enough is enough these days. My server is flooded with hackers and myg0t ragers on a daily basis, despite having admins on at nearly all times, a ban list over 1000, and every trick I can think of enabled via mani and some scripts I wrote. What we really need is an engine which cannot be easily exploited. Trying to maintain a blacklist only goes so far. The kiddies have an unlimited supply of disposable steamID's using a hacked client and only IP bans have any effect, and even then a lot of them use DHCP-supplied IPs and know how to get a new one from the pool. Not to mention, it seems like there are more troublemakers than actual players.. Running a public server is becoming an unrewarding and frustrating experience lately; the MPC cheats download list is a few pages long with the various hacks we know so well from cs 1.6 that give them an unfair advantage, and myg0t works overtime to find and exploit the many problems with the engine.

It's been months since the last update and Valve has made no comment whatsoever regarding it's future. Sadly, in my opinion, VAC was a failure. It never worked that well to begin with and despite Valve's pledges of commitment, I only saw it as a half hearted attempt at stopping cheating.
