A little help detecting hackers please!

Hey there!

I've read just about everything I can find on how to dissect the logs to catch hackers, and I've actually not been doing too badly averaging 5 or so hackers a day.

However there is a particular hack that I can not seem to find at all - Players teleporting others around, Both in mass and individually - is there something specific i should be looking for to catch these people? i can see the victim moving around, but not the person causing it to happen.

It's the bane of my existence at the moment causing me to bleed regular players, I have gone from an average of 30-40 people a night to less than 15 - are there any experienced admins out there who can help a new(ish) admin out? :)

Thanks in advance!

If a script kid uses a bypass there's nothing you can do: a good bypass doesn't leave any trace of the script execution into the server logs, no matter what you do. The only way to caught someone using a bypass is when battleye scans for that specific portion of code (client side), but it isn't something that you can control.

It not a matter of experience.. yes, with the experience you may caught idiot kids and ppl trying to execute a script without hiding themself, but it's a lost war: you may ban 99.9% of script kids out there, but unfortunately a single one is enough to kill your self repeatly the whole day as soon you reach a good number of users.

Scratch this thread, after a confab with my team we have decided to switch it over to a private hive with a whitelist. Running public was just too time consuming and as you said a lost battle.

Such a damn shame. I loved that server too :(

Private hive whitelist is def the way to go.....so much easier to control hackers that way.
