Spoke to a hacker last night.

backstory:

Guy was invisible trying to shoot me on a bike with a crossbow. A couple near misses and hit me once I just started singing and guy chased me down. Did the greased up deaf guy "you cant catch meeee" and told him maybe he should try dropping a helicopter on my head.

That's when he responded. Guy stopped and showed me a couple things (like the cow airdrop, hilarious)

and I asked him about the shit.

Apparently with the last two arma betas the injector they use would crash the game immediately. Well, they must have fixed it last night because after being hacker free for 5 days or so I ran into three hackers in 15 minutes.

There's some serious issues with the anti-hax and battleye in particular. From what he told me there is a language barrier. The antihax only detects english based scripting. He said he can get away with way more shit on german servers since the antihax is written in german and doesn't catch english scripting.

facepalm worthy. They can't spawn vehicles in US servers, or buildings, etc. However they can still spawn weapons, crazy artillary barrages, become invisible, teleport, see all vehicles and tents and players...

Just thought i'd share this little bit of insight I have gathered with you guys.

There will always be problems with script kiddies on the mod. The engine just isn't designed for it and every time BattlEye introduced a new iteration of their defense, the scripts get edited and changed around. The easiest way to deal with script kiddies is to not call them hackers (which makes them sound cooler than they are), not post about the crazy weird things they do (this just makes bored players interested and maybe try it out), and finally, don't join heavily populated servers, (this is mostly to avoid hackers as they tend to propagate on larger servers for a bigger 'audience').

The one that I talked to I actually ran into on a low pop server, 6/50 people and it was night time no less. One killed me and then I ran into this different one a little later.

It's not always about audience size. They were there for the vehicles (which that server had a lot of, according to him.)

They can spawn them on US servers. Just joined one of my usual servers and the guys on mumble told me the woods were on fire so I told them to check to see if someone crashed a chopper. They found 8+ crashed choppers and 4 repaired ones but when they tried to get inside the good ones, they blow up lol.
