Larce 8 Posted July 20, 2012 Alrighty, this is a little odd as to what happened to me, but I wanted to post this stuff now in case someone says anything about my clan's server, or me due to what happened the other night.I am a member of Wolves of War on US 104, we have had some hack attacks on our server before, most of these were caught on either my livestream on twitch or from some of our other members who stream.Previous attacks: 2 nights ago I had a hacker who found me on twitch, pinpointed where we were on our server and he started to play around with me. He first turned me into a bore, then a goat, then a army soldier. I eventually figured him out as a twitch viewer and had some laughs with him. He spawned me a few helicopters, turned me into a goat again (so I could mess with a few people), and he also rammed a helo into another guy we suspected was cheating. There was a second guy in Cherno that we fought and could not kill.Anyways, I made some youtube videos of what the hacker did to me, and spawned and wanted to throw this out there to hopefully show the devs what to look for, or the results of what people are doing with the hacks.1. Turning people into critters2. Spawning weapons/invo items3. Spawning Huey choppers4. Invis/Invulnerable hackI do want to make something very clear here, even though we played with the huey, and I had fun as a goat we never killed anyone or kept anything this guy gave us. The Huey choppers either crashed due to lag or we ditched them in the sea to get rid of them. The guy was just messing with us and since we could not stop him as our admins could not see scripts running we decided to have fun with it since he was watching my stream. We do not condone cheating, nor do we tolerate Alt-f4 noobs either, but since we were powerless to stop this we had a few laughs with the hacker before he logged out. We could not figure out who he was either, so we can't stop him from coming back currently (If he ever does).In this rare case a hacker was being "cool" but we have had plenty of other hackers in DayZ in general be total d-bags, this incident gave me a chance to record "live" the powers these guys have over the servers (kinda sad the security is so bad tbh).Here is the stuff that happened 2 nights ago: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leodimas 31 Posted July 20, 2012 Allowing hackers to play on your server or even play with them to get views on your stream is kinda Douchebag. Since you identified him as a hacker there was no reason to let him stay on your server. This kind of "hacker-abusing" should be a banable offence too.i watched the videos anyway since they are kinda amusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eden.eustice@gmail.com 46 Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks for sharing, good to see what they can do currently and I'd say don't sweat it, you made the best of the situation and are doing good with it ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniel.bull91@gmail.com 4 Posted July 20, 2012 yeh using the "hacker" is kinda the wrong way to go about it, since you may been seen by (whoever deals the bans out) as being associated with the hacker which may in turn get you banned aswell.on a side note what theme is that you use for your win7?

Larce 8 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) At Gyroslave:Well we couldn't get rid of him and he was targetting me via my stream, what am I just supposed to stop a whole night of gaming cause of it? I made the best of the situation, the guy could have just been killing us over and over again or other people on the server, instead of playing around with me. I didn't use him for "twitch views" either I play/stream to have fun and not to be an attention whore like so many do on twitch. It's mostly just to show the fun the clan and I are having with one another, and it gets us new members sometimes. I'm 30, married, and have a daughter. I do not care for the attention of 13 year olds, I stream as a form of recruitment and to have fun with others. I have far greater things to worry about then stupid viewer counts on the interwebz.At Woodland:Thanks man, it was either shut the server down and ruin everyone's fun for the night or play along with this guy since he had me as a target.At Kirix:If I get banned for being specifically targeted by a hacker who our admins could not find via running scripts or what the player name was cause the security in this game is a good as a screen door on a submarine, well then the dayz folks don't have their priorities straight.The theme is Windows 8 Metro.Thanks,Larce Edited July 20, 2012 by Larce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eden.eustice@gmail.com 46 Posted July 20, 2012 It's interesting that he can change your load out especially as that could worringly get people global banned for having hacked inventory! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larce 8 Posted July 20, 2012 It's interesting that he can change your load out especially as that could worringly get people global banned for having hacked inventory!Yeah he changed the load outs, and switched them back, but we made sure that we didn't have any of that stuff. There is a part (dunno if it's int he clips) where my clan mate gets his weapon swapped for a 50 cal and he asks the hacker guy to give him back his old weapon as the 50 wasn't legit.
