I think it could be helpful if who killed who was logged, but not displayed in game for all to see. In the event a hacker hops on and kills everyone in the server, well the log is gonna read something like: 12:01:39: hacker killed player1 12:01:39: hacker killed player2 12:01:39: hacker killed player3 12:01:39: hacker killed player4 12:01:39: hacker killed player5 12:01:39: hacker killed player6 12:01:39: hacker killed player7 12:01:39: hacker killed player8 12:01:39: hacker killed player9 12:01:39: hacker killed player10 12:01:39: hacker killed player11 12:01:39: hacker killed player12 12:01:39: hacker killed player13 12:01:39: hacker killed player14 12:01:39: hacker killed player15 12:01:39: hacker killed player16 12:01:39: hacker killed player17 12:01:39: hacker killed player18 12:01:39: hacker killed player19 12:01:39: hacker killed player20 12:01:39: hacker killed player21 12:01:39: hacker killed player22 12:01:40: hacker killed player23 12:01:40: hacker killed player24 12:01:40: hacker killed player25 12:01:40: hacker killed player26 12:01:40: hacker killed player27 And the admin can use simple logic: "Oh player hacker killed 27 players in 2 seconds... hmm..." Logs are good, I like logs.

Yes it's like a thank you/ reputation type deal. So thanks.

I just want to throw my two cents in here. Private server aren't connected to the hive. All inventory to my understanding is controlled by the hive. So, if a player creates a private server, gathers up a bunch of loot, and then decides to go to a public server. They should spawn in with nothing (as the hive has no data on their character). So honestly, other than the though of players using a private server as a way to test and develop exploits, i see no probably with a private server.

Set an admin password in your server.cfg file. When you connect to your server (in lobby) click on Server Control. Type in your admin password (you will be logged in as admin). You can now: Chat to your server globally [Hit > until global appears, hit / to bring up the input box. Note: players cannot respond to you] Kick/Mute players [Directly from lobby, or hit 'M' for map, select player list and you can highlight the player you want to kick/mute] Shutdown/restart your server [Directly from lobby, or hit 'M' for map, select server control] There's also a rcon tool you can get for ARMA II (works for Dayz). Put in your server details and you can manage a lot from there as well, including server bans.

I would guess these servers aren't keeping up with the latest updates. It was announced that all servers needed to update to the latest 1.7.2.4 with a Beta release of at least 95389. Server admins were given a 36 hour window to get updated before they would no longer talk to the hive. Probably aren't being listed anymore either. Server admins will have to update their servers to show back up and be functional again. I for one am glad this has happened, far too many servers not updating. Edit: On that note, be sure you're playing on servers with at least a BETA release of 95389. If you do join a server that's not up to that release, it will not sync with the hive. Meaning your character will not be saved, and all progress will be lost once you leave that server.

Attached is a compiled log from a few different log sources on our server. The chat log is what pisses me off the most, which is where they're openly talking about screwing over other players, teleporting them, etc. I'm permanently banning them from my server, I hope the DayZ team will ban them from everything. F-ing Script Kiddies... SupBro GUID: 0126b839315ac88f15ebd6668a0a2e1c IIllIIllIIll GUID: 15bdd831beb9349d5a28829a593635d0 Here's the chat portion with highlights: See logs for more detail info. Hacks_2012-07-29.txt

Rebooting should fix everything on your server except for players that died. Tents, vehicles, ect. should go back to the way they were prior to the attack.

If more info from the logs are needed, or from other logs, I can pull the info. Not sure what to look for or pull from arma2oaserver.rpt log. But it looks like it would have more information to show what these two were up to, I just don't know what info is relevant and what's not. [Huge log file]

Sorry I didn't catch this sooner. I will look into our sever logs to see if I can find anything to back this up. In the future if you play on my server and something happens Note date/time (which you did, TY) Note players you suspect cheating/hacking Get screenshots and/or video [i recommend using FRAPS] Log out immediately (might save your character) [Recommend taking a screenshot of the incident and logging out] Email: [email protected] about the incident (so we can investigate it) You can chat with the admins on Mumble: dazoe.net:64738 On another note, we ban players we catch cheating / hacking so they can't join our server again. But we need help from other players as we are not always on when this happens. See this thread for the latest cheat report for our sever: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51174-us-863-hacks-logs-included/

Linking to the report with logs. http://dayzmod.com/f...-logs-included/ Sorry this happened Sinfony, however I have banned them from my server by GUID and by IP. This will keep these particular script kiddies off of my server. Some notes for future if you decide to continue playing this awesome alpha Always gonna have some script kiddies / hackers Log out immediately if you get teleported somewhere Use applications like FRAPS to be able to take screenshots and/or video when something happens No proof, it's like it never happened Luckily these two script kiddies were dumb enough to type in direct communication. Otherwise my logs would be generally useless. That's why screenshots and/or video proof is essential.

Alright guys, found the shit heads you were talking about, made a cheat report about it with the logs. View it here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51174-us-863-hacks-logs-included/ Sorry this happened, I've added their GUIDs to our permanent ban for our server. So there's at least two shit heads down.

Just seen the post put in my thread this morning. Looking into it now, but wouldn't be the first time we've had a hacker on our server. I'm hoping someone got a screen shot or something. Looking through the logs to see if there's anything I can use to backup their stories. (Seems like all the Kansas labeled servers are being hit)

Alright guys, we'll keep an eye out for them and I'll see if there's anything in the logs I can use to have them dealt with. Did you guys happen to get any screenshots or video of this? I would recommend installing FRAPS for this very purpose. Keep in running in the background and it's easy to get quick screenshots and video when things like this happen.

I need to get some feedback from other players to confirm, but everyone else I've heard from confirms this fixes the issue. Update to the newest BETA release, 95417, and be sure to play on a server with the latest patch installed. Been to the airfield and military tent sites and haven't had a problem since. Someone post here if this also fixes your issue or if you still have a problem after installing 95417. [Can join US 863 if you need a server that has the latest BETA installed]

Six launcher won't grab a Beta patch until it's approved, so sometimes it's behind by a few hours to a few days. I have no idea if it is grabbing 95417 yet. That's why I recommend using Dayz Commander.

Oh right my bad, let me AGAIN refer to this post: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/22386-admin-abuse-what-you-need-to-know/ And you know what, let me just highlight the points I"m talking about since you're too lazy to go and read it yourself

Some other ways people have fixed it: change video settings to default (didn't work for me) Update to latest BETA update 95417, and play on a server with latest BETA installed. - Worked for me.

I personally use Dayz commander, it'll grab the latest Beta patches for you.

I mentioned earlier updating the server to the latest beta release and your client to the latest beta released fixed this issue for me and one of my buddies. Can anyone else confirm / check this? Our Server, US 863, is running latest beta if you need a server to join. Latest BETA: 95417

I updated our sever to the latest BETA update 95417 along with my local client, fixed this issues for me. Anyone else wanna test / confirm this?

First off I'm siding with a fellow server admin, read this post: http://dayzmod.com/f...u-need-to-know/ 2 - Understand what powers admins have. We can: - Lock the server - Restart the server - Password the server - Restart the mission in-game - Kick or ban players As the server admins WE are paying the costs of server hosting, and we have ever god damn right to password protect our server as we are making changes (ie updating) and testing out to make sure the server is ready to go. There have been times I've password protected my server for the exact reason this server admin mentioned, so I don't have to listen to the bitching of players that keep joining just for the server to be restarted again. If a server you play on restarts, comes back up password protected, I'd say 95% of the time the admin is updating and testing to maintain a GOOD server. Wanna complain about something? Complain about the servers that don't update, never restart, or have been password protected for WEEKS.

I see this mainly with dead bodies, but I've also noticed it from map tank traps and barb wire (no artifacts from player placed barbwire/tank traps/sand bags) Album of artifacts: http://imgur.com/a/xpCma ATI Radeon 6870 1GB x 2 (CrossFire) Win 7 x64 16GB DDR3 AMD Phenom II x6 1100T @ 3.3 GHz *Edit* - My Fix: I updated our sever to the latest BETA update 95417 along with my local client, fixed this issues for me. Anyone else wanna test / confirm this? [Fixed for my friend too] I also tried changing my graphics settings prior to this, didn't work for me.

I was wondering this myself. In game score is based on number of kills, but on sites like gametracker, especially if you keep stats on your server, it keeps a running score log. Not sure how it's calculated though because it's greater than the sum of your running score(s) between deaths.

I'm setting up a webpage to go with our server we recently started hosting. US 863 Kansas City. I'm trying to make a php script work with the DayZ mod so that anyone can bring up this webpage and see if the server is running, how many players are on, and what version its currently on. I'm trying to use LGSL (Live Game Server List) which is typically used by clans that have multiple game servers they want to list on their clan site. I just want to list our 1 DayZ server, but I haven't had any luck getting it to successfully work yet. Anyone else setup anything like this or maybe can point me in the right direction? LGSL Download: http://www.greycube....oad.php?list.10 LGSL Site: http://greycube.com/site/news.php I appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks

That is awesome, thank you for pointing this out! I'm aware Gametracker.com works fine, I just added our server to it. It actually annoys me more now because I know it should work but there's probably an issue with the code that runs LGSL. So I guess I'll either have to manually update the code for LGSL or write myself a webpage that reads the XML file for me.
