Dunno if really KAC is working because I try to play with cheats and never KAC detect it. I found KAC logs and could see 3 kicks or little ban for spam only. Are ConVars must be in server.cfg? xDD im very noob!! Need this plugin more configurations?

In this moment my server baned a clanmate xDD and he plays with default cfg. :S //Disconnect: General cheating/exploits

Thx for ur attention.

#LATA111111 whoops, my bad.

You should probably post a steam id and or the log for that which he was banned for.

Check addons / sourcemod / logs / kac.log

Really i know because they were banned, "spamming in server with: join team 2" but i thought they was protected by admin immunity. I said im a BIG NOOB!!

03 "Kigen's Anti-Cheat" (1.1.9) by Kigen
12 "VBAC" (3.3) by MoggieX

No errors = working? no need configuration or anything?

Thx a lot!!

[Kigen]

KAC is most likely working just fine.

Not all cheats are detected by the current public version of KAC.

As I make updates to KAC so due cheat-makers to their cheats.

It really is almost like I never ending struggle. But I will eventually close everything down that cheaters could use, its just a matter of time.

[doble-V]

Its ok, now i understand a bit more. Thx for ur great job and ur attention!!

Can anyone crash my server using an exploit or bug? In last check to KAC.log have seen this line: L 08/29/2009 - 17:06:29: Armchair (STEAM_0:1:XXXXXXXX) attempted to crash this server with soundscape_flush.

excuse my poor english, thx in advance!!

[Kigen]

KAC is will try to prevent any crash exploit.

However, it is impossible to cover them all from within SourceMod.

L 08/29/2009 - 17:06:29: Armchair (STEAM_0:1:XXXXXXXX) attempted to crash this server with soundscape_flush.

This is the most common command I am seeing on my DODS server. This command is used in many cfg's that are available on the net. I am using the no sockets version for two reasons:

1. So that I can unban & tell people to remove this command from their cfg.

2. The sockets version appeared to cause me some server lag when last used.

If I was running the sockets version half of my clan members would not be able to get onto our own server as they would be globally banned by KAC. Not to mention the clan members from other clans. As I run a competition I need to have control of bans from my end & decide who & if they should be banned.

[Kigen]

One, only few servers actually can add to the global banlist.

Two, you can use "kac_allow" to allow globally banned players to join your server.

OK, just to confirm with you Kigen. If someone is picked up by KAC on MY server they are not added to the global ban list?

If this is correct I am able to remove them from my ban list? And they would once again be able to connect.

There are quite a few commands in the KAC cvars that have been permitted in competitions before. As long as I am able to remove the bans & instruct the players which cvars to remove I would be happy. These players aren't cheating but using cfg's that have been used for years. BTW the game is DODS.

Thanks for any info.

[Kigen]

Yes. If they are picked up by KAC on your server they are NOT added to KAC's master.

The reason is quite simple, being a open-source project this would make it possible for someone to add bans maliciously if the public version of KAC could add to the global banlist.

Also, if you have evidence that KAC is falsely banning people (i.e., banning for configs) please submit the config and stuff to the Beta Bugs section so that I may correct that.
