Radical Aimbot Solution

Started by beerbitch, July 24, 2007, 05:26:45 PM

I posted this in another thread but thought it was worth mentioning in its own thread. What do you guys think is the percentage of linux vs windows tremulous clients that are playing regularly out there ?

QuoteHere is my radical solution. Ban windows clients. No DLL injection for you.

So we would have a lot fewer people able to connect to the servers and play, oh well.

If its not possible to do this in current code, it would not be so hard to figure out the running operating system connecting by its ip timestamp generation algorithm and plop that code into trem. nmap does this with its OS fingerprinting code and its opensource. We could steal that.

In addition to this, maybe implement a whitelist of GUID and username combination like admin.dat of allowed windows clients ?

mindfray

Thats all fine and dandy if you want to kill off more than half the tremulous community. But I think that would be a bad idea.

Kill the community to get rid of aimbots hmmmmmm

That works only when highly vigilant admins are on the server, plus now we have to deal with aimbot clients that can have a GUID.

I think its a great idea.
We could even make a live CD with linux and trem, just stick it in and watch it work.
Assuming we could get the drivers to works with out any user interaction, people might be surprised by how good there frame rate becomes.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

Sorry, but it's no worse than your post.

beerbitch

I want to reiterate my second statement about having a whitelist. Maybe require windows users to signup on your server website to get into the whitelist.

I had no idea I would start a flame war. I just wanted to throw the idea out there.

j/k
as a PC switcher, I can now laugh at Windozers, since I am now t3h l33t Mac guy
any OS-based solution will inevitably cause screams of "unfair!"
but u did say it was a radical solution
:D
maybe it would be worth a try at t3h OPP server
but how many of ur clanmates are Windozers?
heck if Trem & Linux would be easily installable on this machine, I might even try it
just to be t3h ub3rl33t Linux dude :)

beerbitch

I have a poll on my private clan forum to see how many are windows....

Its not a fair solution, but I've been trying to think of something, anything to get rid of the cheaters..... I used to play counterstrike before it got overrun with hax, and I would just hate to see Trem suffer a similar fate.

what we need is for someone to make a spec bot that detects insane kill whoring and then autospecs the suspect looking for things like 180 degree snaps and other aimbot clues (including the rediculous gretch lookup lock lol) and auto kicks aimbotters.

Now thats a good idea.

first of all, ogc will run just as happily on *nix as it will on windoze, second of all there is no way to prevent someone from lying about their OS.

Already working on it, stay tuned.
If my answer to your problem doesn't seem helpful, it means I won't help you until you show some effort to fix your problem yourself!
1.2.0 release's been delayed for 5:48:00 already because of stupid questions.

wrong, the majority of sst players use windows. the statistics from this forum were posted a while ago. the plurality of players used linux (just barely leading windows iirc).
