anzu (DayZ)

I am the server admin for US153 hosted by Anzu's War Games. Please post any questions, comments, suggestions, cheat reports, etc on this thread. I will try to answer them in a timely fashion. Our server runs the following settings: We are now running both our DayZ servers on a private HIVE on Lingor Island You will need the DayZ Lingor v0.34 files, which you can download from this torrent: http://anzuswargames...725_034.torrent Name: DayZLingor AWG Delta Hostname: dayz.anzuswargames.info IP: 216.244.82.122 Port: 2312 Player slots: 35 Difficulty: Regular 3DP/3rd Person View: ON Tags: ON Crosshairs: ON Server does automated restarts every 4 hours with 10, 5, 2 and 1 minute warnings.

We have switched US153 over to DayZ Lingor on our own private HIVE. We have two DayZ Lingor servers on this HIVE, each with custom-built, EPIC bases with bonus loot caches, weapons, vehicles, and custom spawn points. Come by and check it out! :) You'll need the DayZ Lingor v0.34 files. Here's a torrent of the modfiles: http://anzuswargames.info/mods/DayZ_Lingor_1725_034.torrent

I run US153 and today we had two confirmed cheaters. First, we had a guy spawn a AH64 and trying flying over Cherno. Luckily, we had switched tags on recently specifically to catch hackers, and I was able to see his name and ban him before anything bad happened. Second, right as I was about to sign off for the night, we had a guy come on, slayed several others and I (I believe everyone in the server but I'm not sure, as I was kicked from game immediately after being killed and server was locked/passworded). I had RCON open on another screen and could see this guy spamming ads for his cheats on chat in-game. Saw his name, banned immediately. Just wanted to report the info for anyone whos interested. Incident #1: Cheater spawned AH64 Date: 07-08-2012 Time: between 2am and 5am EST, cant remember for sure Name: "Garner" GUID: bbd2482d42f9a19341f8eb8ebdb3007e IP: 71.156.185.62 PlayerID: 32084230 Evidence: See video. Logs available upon request. Also, at least 3 witnesses, including myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPtJE8g97jE Incident #2: Cheater slayed players, spammed ads Date: 07-08-2012 Time: around 7:20am EST Name: "Gunner Cheats" GUID: bd9dd72ea4d62abcc42cf9f99fb50561 IP: 206.188.75.163 PlayerID: 19813254 Evidence: Every player in the server witnessed it and was chatting about it. Logs available upon request. No vids or pics, sry. Can anyone provide some suggestions or tools for catching cheaters/hackers? Can anyone provide some signatures or something to look for in the logs that will tell me for sure if someone is using cheats? I'm fed up with them and willing to try nearly anything to stop it. :-\

Again, why not make this a poll? I vote YES. Until it is implemented properly, please remove it. They cause graphical artifacts in game and certain players just use them to cause grief. To be honest, I don't know what compelled you guys to keep them in the game this long...

I'll take a look through the logs but it's really hard to find much unless we have something more to go on. Thanks for letting us know about this though. Next time, try to gather as much evidence as possible, screenshot player list, chat messages, anything suspicious you saw, etc. :) FYI, we have our own forums section for posting Ban requests that usually get dealt with faster, in case we don't reply on here fast enough.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to record this excellent footage. He has been permabanned :) I'm only sorry I did not see this sooner. FYI, we have our own forums section for posting Ban requests that usually get dealt with faster, in case we don't reply on here fast enough. You can check it out at: http://www.anzuswarg...ewforum.php?f=5 Thanks again! PS: The cheater in this case seems like a real sad character, he should find another hobby that's more fulfilling in his life. He says, "If you can't beat them, join them." What a terribly misguided philosophy! :lol:

Do NOT trust this guy! See why: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/81292-fellow-bandits-or-recruiting-clan/#entry802386

Don't trust FatBongTokes420! My group and I decided to give him a chance just last night and we picked him up in our helo. We flew around several places and he seemed kool at first. Then we went to a high value loot area and landed to get some gear. As soon as I hopped out of the pilot seat, he jumped on the throttle and tried to steal our chopper. Too bad he didn't know how to fly, he ended up crashing as soon as he took off! LOL (well after I put half a clip of M249 into him). FatBongTokes420 is nothing but a capricious n00b who will cause problems in your group. We gave him a chance and he stabbed us in the back (or at least he tried to, lol...)

Just discovered your tool and gave it a try. Very nice work dude! I will be using this from now on a lot :D Love the features and the tool is easy to use. The only thing I wish it had was linux support. I often admin from a linux OS and like the fact that the Rcon GUI tool runs under Wine. I have not had success getting .NET 4.0 applications to run through Wine :-\ Anyways, great tool! :)

Just wanted to post this in case this guy is wondering WTF happened. Today on US153, there was a cheater on the server spawning vehicles. When I went to ban who I thought was the hacker, my RCON tool messed up and it banned the wrong person (twice!). The player's name was "HookedOnPwnics". Sorry dude! :blush: I removed the ban as soon as I realized what happened.

i did not know that! Thanks! :D

You have been unbanned. We banned you by mistake, sorry!

I just unbanned you, sorry about that dude. Try joining again now

Thanks for the great report! I've added the bans to my server as well :)

Server is back up!

Server is down at the moment. We had a server crash today, along with some network issues, and a botched registry entry >_< Hope to have it back up soon...I will keep you posted. Check our site for most recent updates: http://anzuswargames.info

Another one: Incident: Date: 07-20-2012 Time: around 4:40pm UTC+8 Name: "Jeremy" GUID: 352901cc73b812e5d674e06d8a3c3407 IP: 24.84.249.197 Desc: Player caught with ammo crates full of gear (rofl at screenshot, found it posted online). Logs available upon request. Let this be a warning to all players caught with hacked items... You will get caught, and end up like poor Eve here:

Yeah I kinda thought that might be the case. Thanks for letting me know. There were a lot of players who were having trouble updating BE as well.

Oh okay. Yeah, we have that enabled to help catch cheaters, because then we can at least see their names.

I banned E8400 because i was informed that he was one of the players ambushing everybody. Also, I temp banned a guy for voting to kick a few different people, it may have been you. It just looked suspicious at the time. Does anyone have any idea what kind of things I should be looking for in the logs to detect players being teleported? I really would like to get to the bottom of this and have a means of accurately determining who is responsible.

Thanks for the backup. By the way, what exactly do you mean by name templates active? Do you mean the player names that show up when you hold your mouse over them? Just curious.

I have been adding IPs to my firewalls blocklist and also banning their GUIDs. If I notice they are coming from the same range of IPs I will not hesitate to ban a whole range.

Hey, I was there when this happened but did not witness it first hand. I was on TeamSpeak with all those TTL guys and they told me that they were getting teleported to an ambush point where 3 players were killing ppl. I backed out to lobby as soon as I heard this and started monitor logs and watching the player list. I ended up banning the 3 people who we THINK were involved, but I'm not 100% sure we got all the right people. One of my buddies got screenshots of the ambush spot where a pile of dead players were, I hope to post it up here soon. If you have any further info please post it on this thread: http://dayzmod.com/f...st/#entry397999 Also, I can vouch for all those TTL>> guys you mentioned and none of them were cheating/hacking.

Banned 3 more people today. Players were getting teleported to a specific spot on the map, where these 3 guys were waiting to ambush them as they appeared. Luckily we caught the tags of some of the guys who we think it was. There was a pile of dead bodies in this ambush spot and I will hopefully have some screenshots soon... Here is their info: Date: 07-23-2012 Time: around 6:00pm EST Name: "[DU]Nymphix" GUID: a86c00a4349dd08a66107b88969da138 IP: 1.142.115.73 Desc: Was seen at the ambush spot killing players, a friend shot him multiple times but he did not die, then he was teleported immediately afterwards. Date: 07-23-2012 Time: around 6:00pm EST Name: "E8400" GUID: dda71f16f7000156285e67e7c228359e IP: 173.171.129.180 Desc: Was seen at the ambush spot killing players. Date: 07-23-2012 Time: around 6:00pm EST Name: "RANGROO" GUID: 187bc17b7d9eaf09bde747c27f8456f9 IP: 24.141.128.169 Desc: Was seen at the ambush spot killing players. I am unsure if this guy was involved with the cheaters, may end up unbanning him. UPDATE: About 15-20mins after this incident, BattlEye freaked out and kicked everyone from the server for "BattlEye: Client not responding" UPDATE: I logged back in game about 40mins later and instantly got my legs broke, put into shock, bleeding out, unconscious. I did not hear or see anyone nearby me as I was in a remote wooded area. Another player in a completely separate location informed me the same thing happened to him about 15-20 minutes prior as well. I'm thinking the cheater put some kind of script to cripple ppl upon login. Rebooting the server in hopes it will be fixed
