[AU24] - Population: Haxers

[TheMedic 58]

Well private hives are still home to hackers; guess no server is safe now. Couldn't even go anywhere on this server without two annoying haxers following me around killing me. Guess those spineless jellyfish (Cherno Jorno) have no life and somehow need to jerk off to killing people, instead of the girlfriends they don't have. Oh well, onto the locked private hive.

Hi there Medic.

Saw your name on the server last night (a few of us had a nice chuckle at it actually). Also have seen the above mentioned player active on our server.

I have trawled through the logs and cannot see anything dodgy with this player. He died a few times while geared, died a few times probably to improve respawn location, never was more equiped than having a hatchet + M9SD or M1014 + Makarov. Didn't appear to teleport across the map wildly. Can you provide any further proof, evidence or an idea what I should be looking for so we can confirm your comments? Do you know the name of the player(s) he was associated with who I can also check on?

Just to clarify regarding our server, it is hosted on the ViLayer shared hive (home to many servers playing both Chernarus and Lingor Island), hosted and admined for Australians and by Australians (but currently on a US server, thank you AATP and Telstra!). Our admins are always active and streaming the logs whenever possible to spot hackers and scripters before they have a chance to disrupt gameplay. We already have had about 4 confirmed people scripting and hacking on our server, and have banned them appropriately.

Oh no it's happened already.

I get a bit of a rep and the Cherno Journo has haxusations.

Thank you Frostyvegi for the defense through the logs. The Cherno Journo is a lone wolf Aussie so I wasn't rolling with any other players. As for the constant deaths It's tough being a Journo, I get killed more often than not.

I don't hack, or script let be honest these kiddies aren't hackers, and certainly didn't follow anyone around. I have a vid I'm uploading to YouTube of the possible hacking I saw, UAZ driving around through walls and looked like teleporting. Of course this could have just been desync but as you see on the video, once it's uploaded, I don't have any yellow or red links.

Medic (not bandit) not sure why you thought it was me as AU24 doesn't have tags. Of course any player can say they are any other player so maybe your hacker said he was me. The issue with being the Cherno Journo is my reputation so don't throw haxusations around without some sort of proof. As the logs show I don't tele, I don't roll with high end gear, i just record the stories.

I want to add my voice to this: I can vouch for Cherno Journo. The guy is not a hacker. It would undermine the integrity and purpose of his mission as a wartime journalist in Chernarus. The entire point of meeting in-game instead of just grabbing people's stories over skype or written on forums is to play DayZ as it is meant to be played, meeting in realtime the way a real journalist would want to in such a setting.

Cherno Journo for prez 2012. The guy is not a hacker.

Persoanlly i can't trust a man who uses 3rd person view, so the footage above is questionable ;) .

But at the same time, being followed around and killed isnt clear indication of hackers, its just an indication you ran into a few assholes.

Why did you, Cherno Jorno, get kicked for a vehicle script? Only reason I've read about is using a vehicle creation script.

[chernojourno 226]

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't recall being kicked for a vehicle script and I certainly don't script. The admins, who know more about the server than you a player, have attested to that.

I think you better let it go. You're either mistaken or some bug has occured on your screen. I'm sorry you got hacked, stalked, teleported or whatever had happened. It's crap like that which is ruining the game and I would never be a part of it. You are assuming something that's false based on little to no evidence so I'm considering this matter closed.

In future I recommend reporting all hacks privately or just give times and locations without throwing in false haxusations. Also screenshots and videos are very helpful.

I have found 5 players kicked for the Battleye CreateVehicle Script Restriction #1 and #2 on our server so far. After doing some google research and confirming with a seperate log, this happens when an loading error results in the player 'spawning' as a seagull. Players probably don't even recognise it happening (under the public hive had a guy I know spawn as a seagull (showed up on the log), but he said he never noticed anything weird). This did happen with Cherno Journo, but is no indication that he was hacking or scripting. If BE kicks someone for doing something they should not be, it will ban, not just kick. BE kicks from script restrictions have happened for all manner of things, like trying to open up the server console (intentional) or beeping a horn on a truck (not intentional).

Wow I was a bird for a while.

Damn if only I knew that would have been fun.
