Thread: How To Deal With LUA Scripting Name Changers

    What if they don't have a profile picture and so do like 10 other people, so it's all just question marks. I have never seen this before, so I'm unsure if the name changes in real time on steam, or once you open view players its static. Or... maybe I have no idea what this script acts like, I'm completely mistaken about every thing I said. (Hopefully you understand what I'm say it's before noon and I have not yet had my third cup of joe.)

    Watch the player list for about 10 seconds. The new steam update refreshes that list so it will be a dead giveaway who is changing their name.

    ah thank you

    here's what I do when someone has a name changing script like that:


    type sb_status into console. bam you've got a list of all players with steam IDs.

    wait for the name changer's name to change again.

    type sb_status into console again. BAM you've got another list of all players with steam IDs.


    what you do now, is go thru and match each name on both lists. they should correspond exactly. find the name on one list that doesn't match the name on the other, and you've got your hacker's steam ID.

    take that steam ID to sourcebans, an apply a manual ban. post a ban thread, and you're done.

    viola!

    had a hacker in the pub the other day with this script. He was using speed/aimbot hack and the name changing script to slow down admins on banning. His name was changing about 10 times per second which made it IMPOSSIBLE to use the methods described here.

    I ended up getting him when he disconnected. I merely banned the first player on the "disconnected players list".

    There has to be a better way to deal with these clowns up front.

    that makes it easy.

    type status in console, then type it again after a second or two.

    look for the two mismatched steamID's and names.

    then ban the id.

    I have found this to be the easiest.

    Just had one of these guys in the pub and it wasn't that easy to nail the guy. This is the third time I've run across one of these guys and it's frustrating to say the least. I was fortunate tonight that this guy remained in the server until it was him and one other guy on the T side. I kicked them both after running status in console a few times which allowed me to narrow down the steam ID with the changing name. Then I just banned the disconnected player.

    I'll try BTS's methods next time.

    Ran into a problem today. LUA hack that disabled or spammed so hard it ruined "status" in the console. As much as I didn't want to, I warned the players to come right back and ran kick@all, at the point in time, it was the only way to get the hacker out of the server without banning the wrong people. I did that, ran through the "ban disconnected player" list and found him, then got the hacker that way, as I was not in the room when the player joined.

    Would LOVE to know a simpler way than this since the profile pictures aren't working half of the time anymore.

    Typically I run status;status in console and the list is up and I compare, problem was, it was disabled from this player's method.

    Scrolling up the status window should of stopped it from auto scrolling....

    There is no easier way.
    Make all your last demands for I will forsake you and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last.
