hack advertising... wtf

[instynct 99]

When I die on my own server there's a message that says 'Want hacks? www.******.net' I won't put the website here but it's an actual hack website... and the it's a title message that's shown not a user message.

... now someone just killed everyone on the entire server. How do I figure out who it was.

Write down the name of the server so admins can investigate, screenshot could also be useful.

Aye have some proof

Sounds like he is the admin

I don't run a server, but isn't there a server log you can check?

I meant DayZ admins, the devs. Sorry for the confusion.

sounds more like he installed a hack and left that advertising , but that is just a thought

also why host a server if you dont know nothing about it?

First of all you're an idiot. Second of all the server logs contain no information about who killed who so as far as I know there's no way for a server admin to see who the hacker is.

there should be a scripts.log which should show the executed scripts to find the hacker.

but somehow... i cant even find this log on my server..

There isn't anything an admin can do though...

Simply, you don't figure out who did that, because they've put no tracking into the software. Security development takes away from the time available to keep cows moving across a field, ya know.

Putting in a log that says that XXX killed YYY at Location would be TOO MUCH TROUBLE! Imagine seeing XXX killed YYY at L 50 times in a row (with YYY being each player in the game). Why - you'd be wanting this person banned and you'd be bugging Rocket to make the BAN button actually do something and then where would we be? We'd have chickens standing still and zombies being aggro'd from 1 mile off (or not aggro'd at all). Gotta keep Rocket's priorities straight: "How much can I sell DayZ for based on user numbers?"

I agree that it should tell you who killed you, but not the location.

Look in the battleye folder

Look in the battleye folder

Yeah I did, it was there before it was called script but now it's not

[walkerbait421 19]

The scripts log only contains items you have chosen to log, but then only if battleye is not bypassed. Most hacks are bypassing, so there is no log. Also there was a battleye update most servers probably have installed now, which basically removed your existing scripts.txt detector, so nothing is logged until you re-create the file with the new format. But again, this doesn't do anything for BE bypassing.

There are scripts that hackers can use to send messages to all players. One gave everyone on one of my servers M4A2 CCO SDs and said "Enjoy the pretty guns" to everyone. It showed up centered and quite visible.

AFAIK I can't send that style of message.

So please stop blaming everything on admins.
