AutoBan All IDs higher than 140k [Script]

[tony-0222]

Many people like to walk into my server and crash it with the push of a button.


I ban them, again and again, and more come back. I noticed eventually that all the keys that attempt to crash me and arent banned so far are all above 140k

This means that their making alts to re-join with, and changing their IP.

 I don't like to discriminate against high ID players, but thanks to badspot's poor game security I guess this is the only way I can really keep my server safe (or attempt to)

So if someone made a script that autobans all ID140k+ that connect, if would be appreciated.

And if you know another way to prevent this, PM me.

You don't need to ban people based on their ID, this is ID discrimination and you will get banned/revoked(?) for it. Plus there's actually legitimate new users that will get banned thanks to this script.

If you're that worried about people crashing servers, there's two options for you.
1. Compy's Anti-Crash DLL (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=271003.0)
2. Global IP Ban (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=270783.0)
The Anti-Crash DLL is the best option here.

Badspot doesn't allow this kind of stuff. Probably every link to something like this has been removed on the forum, and MARBLE MAN was banned for posting one of them.

Finally, something useful. The 2nd option is quite pointless (due to the aforementioned alt thing)

But the first... so the only way to combat the hack is by injecting myself with an anti-hack hack? And this is ok by Badspot?

I'm pretty sure there has been no official statement. Any sort of external code injection has been greatly frowned upon in the past and several people have been banned for it but in the quite a while so far that people have been using that specific "anti-crash" DLL nothing "bad" has happened regarding it.

most friends who crash servers wont bother changing their IPs so its pretty useful. Your other option of banning everyone above 140K is loving horrendous, that would just make new players auto banned for no good reason.

Well, we all know that badspots not gonna get around to doing anything about it, so oh well.

I guess everyone who wants a decently safe server will have to inject a DLL program into the game using 3rd party software.

Blockland's quality just keeps getting better and better.

 Yea, they do bother changing their IPs, so no. And I could care less about the new players getting banned if my server health is in jeopardy. Not their fault that server security is so poor, but they woulda had to deal with it if Blake1 didn't post that second solution.

uh autobanning new players isn't going to help your server's health or reputation at all.

I disagree, and I don't believe I have any sort of reputation, or ever will have, however I do thank you for that 2nd link.


You saved many 140k+ IDs from auto-banishment, and for that I thank you.


Topic locked.


EDIT: After trying out the solution, I realize I have to keep this software on my PC and inject it every time.

Topic is back open for discussion.

that's what the hackers have to do each time they open blockland and inject the hack. It's the safest solution besides risking an occasional crash from someone not on the global IP ban.

[tony-0222]

risking a crash that happens more than occasionally

Guess this works for now.
