3 day old server, hacked several times a day - any way to prevent?

[FlatFeet 46]

Hey all,

I've had a server for a few days, fully patched with every patch that comes out...

And today alone there have been two helicoptors spawned, everyone ported to the airfield as rabbits, and just now EVERYONE killed on the server at the same time.

Is there ANY way to prevent this? Or anything we can do about it as server hosts?

As many will tell you here, they have never ever seen a hacker, so they must not exist or must not be a problem!

Really, welcome to the club. We have a 3 week old server that has witnessed at least a few hacks every day, getting much worse the past week. Nothing you can do it about it really to ban these people (not shown in logs) but if you enable crosshairs/nametags you can ID those in hacked helis and if you shut down the server for a few minutes they (hackers) will usually just go away (to another server).

Since we updated to the lastest battle eye, and used the script provided in the Server hosters email, We have not had a hacker since

We are running a server too and the whole team got killed by a hacker. Once we arrived at our bodies, we had ghilie siutes and satchel charges in the inventory.... any questions? No good, cause I want to explain something:

The cheating and hacking stuff ist ruinning the game completly. PPL who actually play fair, are alot of time to get the gear and by a second everything is gone cause of a hacker. Result: at one point ppl are getting frustrated and stop playing the game. This is only possible due to the DayZ server rules not allowing to lock or password protect servers.

Can you elaborate on this?

If it is something I missed, or need to have my server hosting company implement, I would really want to hop on it!

Yesterday Server hosters received an email, With a message stating to update to the latest battle eye, and to download the new script file, Since it has been updated we have had 0 hackers. Maybe your server hosting company is being a bit slow :). The battle eye version

Welcome to the club. GUID bans can help, ensuring your Scripts.txt and BE are updated from the files provided by your host are also helpful.

But even that doesn't guarantee any level of fair play. Its something a lot of server admins are dealing with right now.

Okay cool, I think I found it and installed it.

Is there any way to check what the server version of BE is installed while it is running (or any other way)?

Thanks! :D

If you have access to the servers FTP you can download the BE dll and check the version using Windows Properties. (I think).
