enjoy

this isnt the same ones from month ago this is a new script they have not the old a new one vilayer sorted thers out last time way before days.st did as im with both server providers and remember when dayz.st got hit like they do all the time this is a total new system that is happening to all server providers

this letter was from a vilayer server i have Hello michael, We detected a major Arma2 exploit that required immediate attention. The exploit allowed malicious users to gain access to your configuration files such as HiveExt.ini or Battleye Config etc... thus creating a major security issue within the engine. We already had a secure infrastructure that was unique to Vilayer and this hack/exploit out for DayZ would not affect Vilayer servers however recently we have detected a new hack that has been built for both normal running servers and Vilayer servers. This exploit is for all Arma2 servers not just Vilayers Arma2 servers and we are informing Bohemia Interactive about this issue. The exploit works in the following way, On the hack menu in question the users have the option to retrieve Rcon password. This function then scans the Vilayer#MapName#Custom/BattlEye directory for beserver_active_#id#.cfg Of which when this function finds the file in question it's then able to pull the Rcon password which allows them access to your server. This function is able to grab any files and pull variables within the same method thus making is a major security issue. We have also had reports from customers and other users within the Arma2 community that certain people using this hack are stating that you need to USE THERE ANTIHACK to prevent this from happening, then they are charging for their antihack product which really prevents nothing. So once and for all we have developed a system that should prevent all of this from happening full stop. Everytime your server starts a new randomized directory is created, you will notice this happens automatically on your service and you do not need to apply anything for these changes to be made. This prevents the malicious users from accessing your configuration files because the directory of which your configuration files are located is randomised and is changed every time your server restarts. This will stop the hack/exploit method as they can-not scan your configuration files and should stop the exploit. As always we do our very best to keep your services secure however this update may have created a rare issue within your installation of DayZPackage. The issue occurred when your files were in use when the update was released and an error on our side caused corruption within your directory structure. The good thing is only small number of services were affected by this issue and an immediate fix was released preventing it from happening to anyone else. IF YOU SERVER HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IT AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY OUR SUPPORT DEPARTMENT PROMPTLY. ALL USERS AFFECTED WILL BE OFFERED TWO FREE WEEK OR AN ADDITIONAL UPGRADE OF SERVICE. We are extremely sorry for and inconvenience this may have caused and will do our very best to restore services asap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We do suggest making an immediate password change of both your database users and your rcon password just in case users using this hack have saved your details. To make the changes please perform the following tasks. CHANGING DATABASE PASSWORDS Step 1. LOGIN TO ACP Step 2. GOTO YOUR SERVICE Step 3. PRESS CHANGE DATABASE PASSWORDS Step 4. EDIT PASSWORDS ONLY TO YOUR PREFERENCE Step 5. PRESS EXECUTE ON THE TOP LEFT AND WAIT FOR PROCESS TO FINISH. CHANGING RCON PASSWORDS Step 1. LOGIN TO ACP Step 2. GOTO YOUR SERVICE Step 3. PRESS RESET RCON PASSWORD Step 4. EDIT RCON PASSWORD TO YOUR PREFERENCE Step 5. PRESS EXECUTE ON THE TOP LEFT AND WAIT FOR PROCESS TO FINISH. Once you have performed both tasks you should be safe from this exploit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions please open a support ticket or contact us via normal methods of support.

bad-mojo, are you for real the private hives arnt needed any more llf 99 percent of servers are private hives all the new mods and servers are private hives so yes they are needed or the dayz mod would be dead right know, yes the private hives are need and if you think they dont start looking for just public ones there isnt very many out there at all, and like when the standalone comes out the server hosters that do private hives will be doing them straight away as you can get servers from day one the standaone comes out says rocket,i think you need to have a look at what your really saying,and us private hive admins have helped keep this mod going ny adding new stuff into it which i honestly think should of been done in a lot of the patch,s instead of sill things like adding different cants of beans llf they spent so much time on this new patch for what really to have more than 70 percent of the community to say what have you done ow my god, rant over

as i have notice and so have many other the private hives kept this mod going for a long time and this new patch that has come out with certain stuff in it to stop private servers from adding there own addon scripts, like self blood bag, ai,s etc as you know you need to rewrite the scripts for them to work but every other patch the last 8 month hasnt been change in anyway to stop us doing so,i think its a real kick in the nuts if you ask me what you guys think?????? i would ;like to know why rocket let this go out like this as he would of know this would of happend is it to try and get shot of the private hives??? people say so if your a admin of a private hive with added scripts view your opinion please, as i know there is a lot of moening on other forums about this

this what a lot of people are thinking of the new patch are they right or are they wrong?? lets here your side more from private hive admins too http://opendayz.net/threads/1-7-7-was-a-kick-in-the-nuts-to-the-modding-community-from-rocket.11269/

everyone that has your heart set on the standalone coming at at this month or the next dont , as i was the same at december and once realised he was making a whole new build from the scratch i went to find out what it takes to do something like this and was really shocked at what goes into this,, people have to realise this is rockets mission and never thought it would be this big so put urself in his shoes, for a minute, thats why he has stated that many times it,ll be ready when its ready,and he would rather a slow release rather than millions buy it at once as he wants to make sure it doesnt fail,for him and the public, and i think he is right at saying if you dont want to play a alpha game with loads of bugs wait till end of alpha or for beta release, p.s chill it will be released when you dont expect it

going to be another 2 month till its out watch video tells you at end

great ah been trying to contact him all day hackers have been having a field day today

cant log in orlog into the webste is broken to log into

i thought jerry can where ment to take one invintory slot but every server i have been on still takes up 3 slots, and i have tried to put a ghillie suit on 3 times and kicks you and tried a camo and done the same

shocking get infected from 10ft away

i played for not even 3 mins and a zombie hit me from about 10ft away and infected me, it really needs sorting out

i am keeping 2 of my servers at 1.7.6.1 patch untill they fix zombies hitting you from 10ft away and hard to find ab, and a few of the other stuff that was ment to be fixed but really isnt, i have another server with the new patch on and have the as50 and m107 on it with a load of custom weapons still on it, and yes its a private hive i just think if your going to take those 2 weapons away why not take the dmr and m24 out too and just have cz in and take out a lot of the high end military weapons if you want to make it a real zombie apocoliptic mod, and have the zombies in big hordes together, instead of doing stuff like adding a few different food types,and ment to of fixed loads of bugs that people are still complaining about, what i really want to know is who actually give the go ahead to release this patch as it wasnt rocket as he couldnt do it till after e3,
