My Encounter With A Hacker And What To Look For To Avoid Them (Not A Rant Post)

[leefriendfield 438]

Here I am, lying in bed writing another document to be posted on the DayZ forums. First thing first I was not killed, rather I talked to the hacker (Lets call him Chuck Biglio for now) and we had a small conversation about what he could do with his hacks and his limitations to myself and two other people. This is not a rant post where I was killed and said OH I'M SO G00D, I COULD NEVER GET KILLED MUZ BE HACKER.

TL;DR version third paragraph from bottom

I was waiting in the middle of Kamyshovo with broken legs and my friends M4 when my buddy in teamspeak starts talking to someone. I ask him who he's talkin to and I hear the word hacker. I was immediately sceptical for about 9.5/10 times I hear hacker it's usually not true, but this was different for Tez is experienced in DayZ and has never claimed to see a hacker before. I sat in that teamspeak half listening to him and half talking to a fresh spawn asking him to help me find a stick for my broken legs. After my fresh spawn buddy was unable to find a stick we heard shots and he was hit, but not down. We ran into the house next to us and took cover, I gave my fire axe to the fresh spawn and as he left a fully geared guy came in and splattered my brain parts against the wall. Now that i'm dead I am no longer focusing on myself, but rather the conversation that Tez is upholding with Chuck Biglio. I hear the words Teleporting and spawning and I was intrigued so I asked where they were and heck they were just up the road a 4 min walk between Kamyshovo and Solnichney near the billboard. I ask Tez to tell Chuck Biglio that i'm heading up towards them only 100 meters away I see Chuck Biglio teleport about 4 times at a distance of 25 meters per teleportation. From here the conversation begins as he calmly explains to us what he does and what he can do while we politely listen (Gotta have some respect, right?).

“I can teleport and spawn items within a certain radius to me”Chuck Biglio said “I also have an automatic shotgun and god mode too.” I was very interested in hearing his story because I wanted to understand a hacker and what they do. “You see that house over there? There is a can of beans in there any of of you hungry?” That's when the third member of our little sausage party spoke in his ever so pre-pubic voice “I WANT BEANZ” and poof, there was an opened can of beans teleported straight in front of Chuck Biglio’s feet in the middle of the road. Chuck Biglio began teleporting in circles around us as this over excited fresh spawn named Billy shoved his face full of beans like a pig’s nose in a bucket of slop. We talk to Chuck Biglio some more and find out how he bypassed the anti cheat measures in game (I won't post how for obvious reasons) and what his limitations are. First the scripts he ran were for Shotgun with infinite ammo, God Mode, Item Teleportation and teleportation.

The shotgun with infinite ammo I and many other people have encountered recently didn’t surprise me, but what did were the other scripts he ran. This is a script in which there is infinite ammo for the shotgun meaning it can be spammed to all hell, even rocket was killed by it in one of his recent streams.

God Mode, this is a very obvious script that has been in numerous games and I won't dwell too much on. In case you don’t know it is when a player is unkillable or has superficial powers that can not be obtained by players in game (Ex: Simcity God Mode Land altering or being impossible to kill in Call of Duty).

Item Teleportation, this was something new I had never even thought of or heard about. Chuck Biglio was able to teleport items from a radius within 500 meters right to his very doorstep so he could teleport to say Balota Airfield and then stand in the middle and teleport EVERYTHING right to his feet, even items hidden under buildings. The scary part of this is the ability to edit the config files could possibly allow Chuck Biglio to take all the loot from the server and teleport it right to him leaving nothing to anyone else. This scared me a little because it could make trips to high risk areas pointless from people taking all the loot in one button press.

Teleportation, it is nothing like it was in the mod. I use to run a server on Vanilla DayZ and I used the admin map to look for people teleporting and it was quite effective, but teleporting it very different in DayZ SA now. Chuck Biglio would take the crosshair and point it at the ground, then hit a button and teleport to that spot he was looking at. From what I saw it seemed to have a range limit of about 25 meters but had no limit to how many times that button could be pressed in a time period which means it could take just a few minutes for Chuck Biglio to make it across the entire map.

As we were ending our conversation with Chuck Biglio we heard the fresh spawn with us, Billy speak up. “Can you spawn me TTSKO gear, and M4, Fire Axe and food?!?!?” My friend and I had immediately become very annoyed at Billy and we decided it was time to kill him. Already both Tez and I were intrigued and disgusted with this hacker, we wanted him gone and I wanted to leave the server. As Chuck Biglio fares us a bidwell we do the same, and poof, he's teleporting at a thousand miles and hour down the highway. Now it was our chance, we couldn't kill Billy because Chuck Biglio was armed and would shoot us if we pulled anything, but he was gone now and my friend took to fist fighting Billy. It was a short fight with a KO in 3 seconds we then berail Billy telling him that were killing him for wanting hacked in gear, we tell him to play the game and enjoy his experience not cheat it. He gave me the best response for which I will always remember “WHAT THE HELL I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING YOU GUYS ARE FAGITS ASSHOLES@”

How do you spot a hacker and avoid them? First off if you see someone teleporting don’t assume it's just de-sync until this hack is patched up and the loopholes in the code are patched up. I saw a reddit post where a guy claimed to see a hacker and saw someone teleport I was skeptical at first but the way he teleported looked just like Chuck Biglio’s teleportation. Second, if you see a guy with a shotgun fully geared, it's best to stay away from them for why would anyone use a shotgun when fully geared other than to troll? And finally if you find piles of good loot in high traffic areas (Lots of pristine and good loot on floors of military buildings) be skeptical of where it came from for nothing comes free.

TL;DR

I meet a hacker, he had the ability to shoot a shotgun without running out of ammo, could teleport items to him, god mode and could teleport. watch out for those signs when playing DayZ and leave a server if you see any signs of a hacker.

Like I said before, hacking is extremely difficult in DayZ so if you see someone de-syncing more than likely they are not hacking so please have solid evidence when you call hacker. Getting killed by someone doesn’t meen they are a hacker so don't try to inflate your ego by thinking I can’t get killed, must've been a hacker who killed me!

Thank you for reading this rather lengthy post and I hope my story will help you avoid hacker confrontation in the future.

Good Luck,

Kyle

I was actually not lazy and read that, good read. I've been killed by hackers in Elektro a handful of times.

This past Wednesday I'm sitting with 2 buddies in 3rd floor hotel swapping gear around the dead end corner before we go out. Out of no where we hear in direct someone callout our names in a high pop server, shoot each of our legs and breaking them then head shorting each of us. Mind you were scattering after hearing our names and I was shot first still around the corner while others were in room and stair hall. And I always record on OBS when I play.

What's even more sickening if you google the shit and look at the hacker forums where they BUY these things for $20+ I scanned the comments in a post of someone who updated their wallhack to work only to be met with comments along the lines of "finally, thank god! This game isn't fun without hacks"

Ugh

Elektro is a hotbed for hacking. I tend to stay away from it whenever possible

Electro is a terrible spot to be some buddies and held up in the hospital as 6 people ran around guns blazing.

Thanks for the help. I just started playing DayZ recently and I have seen so many people glitching back and fourth, nice to know its not a hack.

last night me and my mate spotted a guy at the air field fully geared running around with a shot gun. i had a long range scope laying down behind a bush .. i was so far there was no way he could see me. i watched as he bee lined into the jail and we set up a ambush. long story short he came out of the jail with his sawed off shot gun and fired at me .. i was posted up behind the hanger with just my head sticking out. he fired a bunch of shots way too fast for a shot gun... and hit me.. i went unconscious. in a matter if seconds he was on my friend and killed him .. my friend a avid player of the game had no idea what kind of gun killed him.. he said he never heard that kind of fire before. and i know what i saw threw my long range scope.. the guy had a sawed off shot gun .. it was so fishy i came to the forums to see if anyone knew anything and after reading this i now understand what happened.

Its a new script that has been making the runs through this game.

Jezuz whats up with the anti hack part of this game I think I may do some research. Seems like something that should of had priority but I dont know much about these things

It is a priority. They are working on it.

I ran into some guy with some at Balota when first started playing with a biker helmet on and fire axe. Managed to hit him a few times with my M4. He ran through the into the upper room of one of the jail houses closing the door than came around the side through the wall with very little effort and we got into an axe fight and even though i had hit him with M4 fire and an axe multiple times he did not die. The M4 bullets alone should have drained allot of his blood. I eventually died from this and im pretty sure it was some kind of god mode shit too. This was within two weeks of the game being out or so.

 

You also could have just punched the kid once and told him not to do it without murdering him. Now hes going to get the hacks probably regardless if hes smart enough and kill every poor guy he sees or just become another KOS bastard.

The laughable part of all this is what happens usually comes up on our screen, like, bthle has signed in with modified data, connected...bthle has turned off godmode...evidently the hacker must turn off god mode to kill someone or collect loot...not sure about that, but the point is, what they do is shown on our monitors, why doesn't battleye use this info and ban them? Maybe money????is battleye on the take???? I will hope not...

I had a similar experience recently just outside of B-town, up in the hills. They were all hunkered down in a farmhouse when I arrived and all of a sudden people started hearing fully automatic shotgun fire, eventually all but 2 of us died. And we tried to hunt down the hacker, though to no avail.

 

One thing I noticed during this, it was also possible for him to project some sort of aura that would cause you to holster your weapon, making it impossible to fight back.

 

Also, when I was trying to rush him with my pistol, my character held the pistol to his head mid run, I didn't shoot, afraid that it was some sort of hack that would cause me to kill myself, but it was a very strange action at a time when I seemed to catch his attention. (was trying to hit him with my mosin, but kept putting it away, so I tried pistols, seems it may only work for your primary on your back.)

 

anyway, I hope this helps.

[Death By Crowbar 1213]

In previous MMO's I used to play there were simple checks for movement, if someone traveled an impossible distance in an impossible time, they were flagged, reviewed, then banned... and later outright banned. From the literature I've read, Battleye isn't meant to and doesn't have any of these types of checks, but if one were implemented by the the Bohemia DayZ team it would potentially stop all teleportation. I look forward to the day that happens.

Quality writing, right there!
