Hackers getting smart - MedBox Now having weapons

[LostS77 (DayZ) 15]

OK I found the other day that a hacker created a MedBox0 and well... since we don't auto kick for MedBox0 in the createvehicle.txt it was allowed. Well when I got to where this person put the MedBox0 (docks in electro) there was every gun and anything you could want in it. So I put a satchel charge on it and killed everyone including myself near it and then restarted the server.

So... was wondering if anyone else has seen this or was it just me.

Maybe someone could post list of coords that MedBox's should spawn at, and then when looking/parsing logs I can flag any boxes that might be spawned where they shouldn't be.

Let me know...

hackerboxes (we call em) are happening all around.

Mostly spawned on top of hills or at the beach by hackers. They use it to gear themselfs up and then start spawning behind you ;)

Medical boxes spawn at the hospitals: cherno electro berezino and the medical tents in cherno. dunno about other spots where they spawn.

Yep... I know that about the hackerboxes... but this hacker made a MedBox0 but it had weapons in it and it was on the docks.

Just trying to figure out if others have seen Medical Boxes spawn in places they shouldn't. I am looking at a way to parse my createvehicle.log file and plot out where Boxes are setup, and come up with a list of coords where I know yes that is where those boxes spawn, and then another list of why is there a box here. If it isn't in a place where say a medical heli crashed, my gut would tell me it was a hacker spawning it in and stuff.

Well medboxes can spawn at crash sites which can spawn anywhere in the open so good luck with that :(

even at the docks of elektro?

sorry but i am sceptical

How does one plot the coords from the logs onto the DayZ map, I may need to start doing this.

[LostS77 (DayZ) 15]

So I am guessing since I don't see any one else mentioning it, hackers are putting MedBox0 into the game with all the weapons and stuff.

As for the coords... it is a X, Y, Z starting in the lower left is 0 of the map... then move right X and up Y. Z you can ignore. Best way I have found so far is to use the tools to develop a ArmA 2 map and you can sort of see where that is.

Now I will say, I highly only recommend doing this to detect hacking. Please DO NOT do this to abuse your powers or they will take away this in the logs.

Wish we had the GUID's of these asshats. Would love to add them to my BE Ban list. What a sad crew.

Hack boxes are nothing new. At least when most scripters bring them in, they put them in palces where everyone can access them and makes it kind of a level playing field. But its up to admins to get rid of that shit.

These guys scripted in all this crap for themselves obviously and are trying to have an unfair advantage and, and if some "other clan" put it there, they did nothing to clean it out. They just hoarded it for themselves and probably server hop with those weapons, trying to look like tough guys.

OK it is great to see I am not the only one finding hackers scripting in the Cardboard/MedBox0 into the game with the guns. And thank you for the video proving what I am seeing. Thus why I am starting to track the spawn locations on my server so I can determine if a box is a hacked or legit one.

lolnot.

I know exactly who hacked for them, but I can assure you it wasn't a SCAG member. Those helicopters wouldn't survive a reset, so why not play around with them?

You suspiciously log onto their server one day and find the exact location of their base? I call bullshit.

They didn't break any rules taking advantage of a hacker's stuff. You blatantly accuse them of hacking when you don't have your facts straight.

Ya one day, why don't you go troll somebody else

What log files do you look at to do that?

[LostS77 (DayZ) 15]

In my createvehicle.txt I have a 3 "MedBox0" ... so in my createvehicle.log file I will get it recorded and then can parse it.

Using the 3 also makes it so it writes the entry to my server_console.log which I will then see when using BERcon and visually I can tell now if a box is legit. After seeing enough of where legit boxes spawn I can tell just by looking at the X,Y coords recorded and see.

Now some (IE heli crashes) I have not totally figured out thus why I do have to track down some boxes and verify if they might be legit heli crash sites. Sometimes I can tell by using things like the DayZDB Map... or I just get in game and do a TON of running.

[LostS77 (DayZ) 15]

Someday when I get some time... I will write something so it pulls from a MySQL DB my imported data and overly the points and stuff for specific player or item or whatever with a timeline of sort sort. Just need to find the time and motivation to do it.

It is a script the the hacker runs, any time he wants and they can place them anywhere, any time and a lot of them will actually disappear after 3 to 5 minutes, what ever they set it too. We had someone literally walking with god mode on, through Cherno and placing boxes everywhere and each box had 50 over everything in them. It is a way for them to supply others because they have ones that do everything they need on themselves, they don't need to be in a box. The worse part is, it seems the harder we work to keep them off our servers, the crueler they are about what they do. Sucks but Battleye will get them eventually.
