What happens if you get caught Hacking?

[buzzcut13 0]

So I've never hacked, nor plan on it. But those hackers that just do whatever they want, what happens when they get caught? Do they get banned from the server? Does that character get banned form DayZ? Or if battleye detects hacking does your whole Arma2 C.O. installation code number thingy get banned from DayZ? What happens, and does it depend on the severity of the hack and who catches you?

DayZ server admin finds you hacking: ban from server.

Battleye finds you hacking: CD key is banned from Arma. You will need new copy of game

Severity of the hack has no influence. Hacking is hacking.

With remoteexec and createvehicle logs, a server Administrator like myself would ban them from the server first off and then forward them for a global ban if seen fit. Administrators cannot deal global bans themselves. Remoteexec and createvehicle are two new types of logging that are extremely helpful for finding popular hacking scripts and also allow scripts that are ran through the network (affect other players) to be easily logged and picked out.

Battleye will ban if it detects scripts being ran - the ban issued is usually global and cannot be modified other than by Battleye staff. GUIDs are the IDs banned and it prevents that CD key practically of Arma 2 OA from accessing the online portion of the game (servers).

Their CD-key gets banned from Battleeye, which means 95%+ servers will not let you play.

I heard that if you hack you go blind and grow hair on the palms of your hands...
