US 303 Dallas - GUDDEISA - Hacking - 03/08/2013

[CS14 133]

Server: US 303 Dallas (v1.7.6.1/build 102591)

Date: March 08, 2012

Time: Unknown (Some time after 5PM GMT -5 and before 9PM GMT -5)

Player Info:

Name: GUDDEISA

GUID: (See screenshot(s))

Screenshots:

Initially suspected player "GUDDEISA" of hacking after having initial contact with the player on the hospital roof in Elektro climbing up the ladder before I shot them in the head with the head with the Lee Enfield. The player had a hero skin on and was equipped with an AS50, which I found it weird that someone would be running through Elektro with an AS50 considering the rarity of the gun. Few minutes later I get killed on the roof of the same hospital in Elektro by a player in a hero skin brandishing an AS50. Little time passed after the incidents when I noticed the player getting banned for invalid items and getting kicked for having invalid GUIDs.

Having invalid items isn't proof that the player spawned the items in themselves.

Also, even if I do or don't ban this player, the server is going away on April 3rd.

I never stated that the player was spawning items, however it seems pretty suspicious. I posted this in hopes of it getting looked into but it seems you have that "I don't care attitude" since your server is going down soon anyways. My squad and I (15 people total) aren't playing there much anyways, getting sick of the constant problems with the server. Have fun with your fail server.

Your description of the problem doesn't indicate hacks. You said you shot at a guy that had an AS50, and then the same guy with an AS50, minutes later, killed you. I'm sorry, but I just didn't see how that was very conclusive. Additionally, you have no proof that the guy being kicked for an M249 is the same guy you saw with an AS50, and if he had had an AS50, that would also have been repeatedly showing in the kick message. There's no cause for you to be a dick to me about it. As far as the server goes, my clan and I just don't really play much anymore, it's a thankless job to run a server, as evidenced by your response, and it costs money. I have always prided myself on having a server mostly free of hacks, with my own custom-written ant-cheat scripts, etc., and I still do. That I would tell you it's no big deal if I do or don't perma-ban the guy is only a simple fact based on the reality of the situation of the server shutting down in less than a month.

I didn't mean for my response to sound like I was being a dick, just been a little bit of a rough day and was a little pissed off earlier when I replied and I apologize for that. I do enjoy the server from time to time and appreciate the fact that you guys have been running the server. I'm not saying that my evidence was proof that the guy was hacking, I was just hoping it would be enough to go off of to investigate that *possible* hacker.

Also just a quick unrelated question to the subject, but what is the MM999 in the corner of the screen for? My buddy and I noticed it one day when we logged in the server and have been curious about it since.
