F4ll3N 28 Posted July 14, 2012 Had an exploiter on my server today around 2:30pm PDT and he was using global chat but the messages were posted in the middle of the screen not the side like the usually are. We had a convo and he wasnt hostile just one of those lulz trolls really, he professed he wasnt hacking just enabling a feature that should be there, I told him to talk to rocket about that.I own the server and am unsettled that someone can use admin functions, I am download my 800mb log file to review for issues but I am not sure what name he was using yet or GUID.I assume that if he can modify the files to enable global chat for himself he can also do the nasty hacks like heli spawning and whatnot. I hate hacks and was happy to see admins dont get "god modes" in this game but the level of effort to find and ban hackers myself is getting ridiculous I am download almost gig large logs and combing threw them for illegal actions that i am not sure I even know how to spot. Some documentation on what the illegal action look like in logs would be nice to get us new server ops started.I will edit this page when i find out who he is then ill post his info for other ops to ban.... no screenshot cause for some reason the bypass of the steam overlay makes my PC think it isnt running a game and it just takes a pic of my desktop. I do have logs though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakultair 114 Posted July 14, 2012 It's quite unsettling if you know how much cheaters can actually do in this game... It's a losing battle for us server admins really, we need more/better tools to stop this. ;x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meta87 25 Posted July 14, 2012 They need to just make a log parser of some form to ease the pain of looking through logs all day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Red 8 Posted July 14, 2012 I hate when stuff like this happens. Hackers openly admitting hacking to the server owner/admin. I say the security system should have better security so it actually stops hackers from getting themselves op type abilities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F4ll3N 28 Posted July 14, 2012 my server log file is so big notepad ++ didnt want to open it >< after some wrangling got it to load and there is no form of chat scan, no chat logs that i can see or any indication of someone using the global channel, if it was a script (which i dont think it was but a modified file) it wasnt detected by BE.A stop/break option for my hosts web console wouldnt be amiss either but not too sure if thats dayz or my host.... either way detecting the cheaters can obviously take hours and by then they have 5 new GUID.

Boby (DayZ) 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Good chance all the person did was use a ram value editor. Hosted a server of their own. Found out the ram values that activate sed ability and boom. Access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To view the chat log, you want to look in the cfgdayz/server_console.log Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F4ll3N 28 Posted July 15, 2012 I thought thats where the chat logs were as well, but its just login info no record of any chat logs. I am using vilayer as a host but that file should be a dayz thing not a host thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
