US 401 Run by Hackers/Exploiters.

[forthegz 2]

Hello Everyone..

I would just like to bring to everyones attention a problem occuring on US 401.

Apprently the people that run this server use exploits and hacks to kill players that kill their friends. Or allow their friends to use hacks/exploits in their server.

Player name :

Mark Wahlberg

One of my friends has the video on FRAPS and will be sending it to me shortly and then I will link it.

The situation:

Myself and a friend are inside of the barn north of Elektro, a bandit walks in(Mark Wahlberg), we kill him. Then less than a minute later, literally 26 explosions take place in/around the barn instantly killing both of us. Clearly using an exploit or hack seeing as there were only 20+ people in the server and it is highly unlikely that all of the other players had frag-nades and were standing outside.

The reason I'm claiming that the people that run US 401 are these players or allow these players to hack or exploit is because my friend has been exploited by players in this server before and in this particular instance, the explosions were in such volume (26) to be exact, that there is no logical way to explain that players could be using these kind of cheats and exploits without the Server Admins being aware, thus ::: The admins of US 401 are hackers or support hackers.

Once I upload the video as proof, please shut down US 401 and ban all players associated with running the server.

Thank you.

I think the full ban is a bit harsh, but post the proof and trust someone will get around to it. . thius should be in server, not cheat reporting FYI.

mark whalberg is not associated with the people who run the server, it must have been someone who scripted satchel charges and blew the building up. we are locating and banning hackers right now we are getting hit by multiple hackers at this time

[Exile Ashal 19]

reading script logs and banning people, assuming that the hackers are associated with the server owners is ignorant

[Exile Ashal 19]

you have to manually read the logs to find them using scripts and it is not easy, you try being a server admin and getting hack attacks daily and see how it is

yeah it's tuff. this should be here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/46-server-reporting/. . no?

Many (read: nearly all) Admins have jobs/other real life commitments, and are not around to monitor the game 24/7, even with a multi member admin team, gaps in babysitting coverage happen. Just because some hacker got mad and went nuts on the server doesn't mean the admins are in league with them.

Most of the time, there is a way to contact an admin in the servers MOTD, if you see someone hacking get a hold of them and they can take the appropriate measures to catch and ban the party responsible. They cant always be logged into the console watching every second of every day, sometimes you need to spend time with family/loved ones, eat, sleep, walk the dog, whatever. By playing on that server, you become a member of its community, that makes it also your responsibility to safeguard it. Most admins are very active within their regular player community, I've lost track of the times players on my server send me a message to let me know there is a hacker flying in a jet/teleporting/spawning items/ect so that I or another admin can step in and handle the issue ASAP. Did you even take the time to check with them before writing this post attacking them?

Accusing the admins of just "letting it happen, and therefore that makes them guilty as well" is just plain asinine. The poor guys most likely didn't even know as they were probably at work making money to pay for the server you were playing on.

we were there while it was happening, we identified all the hackers and bans were passed out, this issue is resolved as far as 401 is concerned, further issues please pm me and i can assist you.

sadly as 401 is active we get hacked fairly often =(
