Question about PBO's

[dannyboy92 (DayZ) 36]

Lets say i remove the Plants.pbo etc from my folder. Now i get kicked from servers who has this enabled.

What if i remove the original Plants.pbo, create a new empty text file, rename it to Plants.pbo.

Does the server actually read the pbo's, or does they only check if they are there?

Asking to improve security of my server.

Obvious bait

I am not asking to wallhack, i am asking to kick players who has corrupt pbo's in their client.

If battleye actually doesnt read the pbo's, but only checks if they are there, then people would still be able to use this exploit on servers who thinks they are secure. Including mine.

/*
Enables signature verification for addons
This will prevent pbo hacks by only allowing pbo's that pass server's public key checks
0 = no verification
1 = for v1 signatures
2 = v2 signatures only

verifySignatures=2;

Make sure you have it set to 2 in the server.cfg file.
