So far I have had a speed hacker a lot of wall hackers and a blank name and none of them got banned,
Had to manually ban the speed hacker.
Walling I know is a hard one to detect and hard to catch at times.
Blank name as far as I know steam stopped the ability to use blank names so he must have been running a hack but I could be wrong.

Blank Names are easy to do in game and they aren’t hacks.

To get a blank name you need to simply use valid characters that steam shows as nothing(Blank).

There are two different ways I have seen KAC block this.

KAC 1.2.0 Open Beta: Blocks the empty space and any string that contains the empty space.

Older KAC versions: Block the “alt;255” and “alt;0160” and any string.

There are still bypasses that KAC doesn't find yet for each version.

I have [PM] Kigen, because I don’t want to break any forum rules and post what the commands are.


(Kigen correct me if I am wrong how your program looks for the empty space, but I can bypass it.)

I have a script written in python that works with “eventscripts” and does very well for names you do not want in your server.


It is perfect alongside KAC’s older versions, but with the new version it blocks the same command creating a bypasses with the right know how.

I would like to see KAC handle the blank name issues though so it can’t be bypassed in any version.


My script can handle all the other names you don’t want.


(I would like to see KAC have a name kick section with a reason you could define for your server.)

Code: Select all

This is from steam:

sv_max_usercmd_future_ticks
    Prevents clients from running usercmds too far in the future. Prevents speed hacks.
    Default Value: 8

This coming update to the KAC 1.2 branch will fix the name blocking problem.
