Mass of deconners tonight.
« on: October 23, 2006, 06:57:51 am »
We were hit with a mass of deconners tonight at yaknet.  I spent 3 maps just watching and kick/banning.

It is a real pain to keep them from just reconnecting on a different IP address.  We need unique ids on all the clients...

So here is my current banlist.  I hope no one minds me posting this list.

Please comment

F**kin' deconners!!!

Lol, I just thought of a game on ATCS I once had, where this guy was deconning our base, and I thought he was doing it malicioulsly, but it turned out he was doing it to build a base in the center bunker...

Kinda funny...

ive seen him on other servers before, where he doesnt decon. weird  :eek:

uh oh, robug is becoming the next mario $$

this is the reason why i want name bans ffs
(only the real famous deconers keep the same name, well, since trembot came out at least)(ppl like big dad and tree are too stupid to renew their ip so they got banned from every server  :D  :D )

Wow! thats an insane amount of deconners... isnt there a mod for doing the !disallowbuild ? cause it might be better for those deconners who just do it out of ignorance...

it seems really irritating, though, that people can just join again.

omfg, you ban enough people yet?!  :eek:  If this isn't proof that trem needs more stringent protection against deconners/griefers, I don't know what is!

There is one already: Designated builder. Just get designation, run through the base, protect everything and you don't have to worry about deconners until the next map. If you want to achieve the same result using !denybuild, you'll have to preemptively !denybuild anyone who joins the game. If you miss just one deconner, you're dead again.

KOCOUR-CZ binary with complete patch for SVN829 should be available for download in a few days.

BTW, has anybody tried to ban all clients with empty GUID? It would be really nice to finally make noobs switch to the new client.

if someone decons both teams should just stop for a bit to allow the deconed team to rebuild.

I once attacked a human base thinking my friend had suicided the reactor.
Half-way through destroying the base, i found out someone deconned and I retreated.
Unfortunately, the damage was already done, and my team-mates finished the job.

you need rcon for anyone to actually pay attention thus prooven on sst

yesterday i saw a entire team of deconers. they all went into corbina and deconed the shit out of it. *sigh* another server that doesnt have trembot. LAME.


and now thanks to my handy dandy script, i can denybuild most of the people in the server at once! muhahahaha. DECONERS BEWARE!

Code: [Select]

!denybuild 1
!denybuild 2
!denybuild 3
!denybuild 4
!denybuild 5
!denybuild 6
!denybuild 7
!denybuild 8
!denybuild 9
!denybuild 10
!denybuild 11
!denybuild 12
!denybuild 13
!denybuild 14
!denybuild 15
!denybuild 16
!denybuild 17
!denybuild 18
!denybuild 19
!denybuild 20

If yer really unlucky the person with rcon won't give a damn.

About name bans: until there's a way to lock your name to you individually this type of banning will never work. In retrospect however just ban the subnet mask. ie. LEandro - 83.173.1.1 (or is it .0.0, this is always fuzzy to me) Seeing as only the last two digits of his ip change you can just ban the entire range.... this of course nails anyone else using the 83.173 ISP address but if one bad apple is gonna be a dick admins might have no choice but to toss the lot.

If his provider uses full network range, you'd have to ban 83.0.0.0 to keep him out. Class A networks (0.0.0.0 through 127.255.255.255 including private ranges) have 8 network bits and 24 node bits.

Deconners were starting to make the appearance in the afternoon while I was playing. Was a great game on acts. The teams were evenly matched but aliens had just hit s3 and were about to slowly wipe out the hummies. Then, decon decon decon, and there's 1 dretch and 2 tyrants left. :( Was still funny it took the hummies like 5 minutes to kill us and we were taking out part of their base but oh well. Deconners suck. Robug kicks ass as an admin.

That was part of the problem, the same deconner was comming in from 207.x.x.x and 208.x.x.x .  I am sure is was the same deconner because he had the same lame cuss filled rants after he deconned.

If I banned those class A's I would prolly lose half the players.

I will look into the designated builder patch...  that may be the way to go..  I am not quick enough with !denybuild

Quick introduction to network classes:
Class A: 0xxxxxxx in the first address byte: 0.x.x.x through 127.x.x.x, 8 network bits, 24 node bits.
Class B: 10xxxxxx in the first address byte: 128.x.x.x through 191.x.x.x, 16 network bits, 16 node bits.
Class C: 110xxxxx in the first address byte: 192.x.x.x through 223.x.x.x, 24 network bits, 8 node bits.
Class D: 1110xxxx in the first address byte: 224.x.x.x through 239.x.x.x, multicast address range.
Class F: everything else: 240.x.x.x through 255.x.x.x, testing address range, valid only for private networks.

If he has used IPs from several different class C networks, he most likely connected through some proxy anonymizer.

1.2.0 release's been delayed for 5:48:00 already because of stupid questions.

I will look into the designated builder patch...  that may be the way to go..  I am not quick enough with !denybuild


just be sure to keep the denybuild, seems more effective then designate

Proxy anonymizer? Never heard of this.  I know that everytime I connect to the net my ISP gives me an IP that isn't in use, from a bunch of IP's they have... am I right so far?

Lets say some deconner uses the same ISP as me, and all those IPs are banned. That means I can't play but the deconner who knows about "proxy anonymizer" etc. CAN play?

Perhaps some kind of server managed account system to verify users, perhaps a lenghty sign up process to avoid multiple accounts by griefers, and to allow "us" to ... blah blah [snip]

Yes, he can. The proxy anonymizer is a server which you can use to get a sort of anonymous IP address. Your machine simply sends all packets to this proxy server which in turn forwards them to their final destination with its own IP address in the source address field. When it receives a response, it forwards it back to your computer and nobody except the proxy server knows what your IP address is. To make you really hard to trace, some proxy anonymizer services allow using a whole network of proxy servers with encrypted connections between them and between the first proxy server and your computer.
