The fight against hacking/scripting

[Matthias1987 59]

Hello,

After just getting insta killed again with the rest of the server I started browsing to check where all these hacks come from. Now those sites are relatively easy to find and they provide many "how to's". As a hacking dummy, there is something i do not get. If those sites are so easily to be found, and the executables they provide can be easily downloaded. Shouldn't it be easy for a company like Battleye to do something against it?

Do not get me wrong, i'm not pointing my finger and saying they are doing a shit job, i am just trying to comprehend why it isn't just that easy. Could someone care to elaborate why it doesn't work like that?

I'd wish i had some knowledge on the subject so i could put some effort into it myself, but alas i am but a man.

Just wait for the standalone version. It won't allow scripts as Arma II does, and will have a better anti-cheat/hack system. Can't guarantee the anti-system, but for sure the scripts.

Well, BE is doing something againts them. An average bypasser hack only lasts for 1 or 2 days and then gets detected by BE

But then, how is it possible that there are still a surmountable group of hackers active? In my logic, by the numbers BE provides, there shouldn't be that much hackers left. Do those guys buy new Arma copies just to have a little more fun for a couple of days? Or are there other, more easy ways to bypass the system (e.g. cd-key generators) thus rendering BE efforts completely useless.

As the guy above me said, the game is so so so open and trusting and allows scripts, BE can't do much about it. And it's not developer laziness at all. Arma was designed to work like that! It was never meant to be a huge competitive game like DayZ!
