It's still pretty easy to go around that, if you know what to change the key to... It isn't that hard to edit the registry :P (Even through it can be risky)

You wouldn't find the answer on ****** though. Everything else suggested so far can easily be found on ****** with 2-3 searches with idiot proof instructions.

Until some prick decided to tell the morons which key it is, no-one would really know.

to handle ban evaders, something must be done via-sa-mp software wise.
Just in a few days alone , i have over 140 bans, at least 50% was for hack reasons,
this is too much to handle. ITS TOO MUCH. My server alone in 3 months gets over a 200K unique ips,
thats impossible, the ammount of players on samp could be from 2K to 6K, so these evaders are too much.

Some thing must be done about this, and also implementing something on sa-mp, that the only way evading it is reinstalling your o/s system can fix, is the day i am a happy person.

The problem is, there isn't enough Server owners complaining about this, my server is small, running for the past 3-4-5 years, and its a contant problems, i cant imagine servers over 100, 200, 300 would feel.

And range ban is something of a problem, because allot of players get/are affected

I love sa-mp, not discrediting them, just something new must be added on the security-sanity-side.

Or a hacker with experience of hacking similar systems...

Violation of privacy on your hands.

I don't understand why everyone is looking for a way to ban people in multiple different ways. The current way works perfectly, we don't need other crap to deal with! If you are going to run a server, know how to code correctly, know how to be professional, know how to work with what you have and of course; hire a good administration team. Stop whining, it's getting annoying.

Because they use cheats, hacks, and others?

No, not perfect, because if we ban his IP, he can join again in 2minutes

The code is doesn't matter, doesn't exist 100% completion anti-cheat so we can't ban the cheater / hacker fully... If we ban a cheater, he can join with a proxy, VPN, an other network connection etc.....

[Scenario]

Some server hosts also offer the ability to completely ban certain IP's and proxy's (depending on the server host)...

sounds like a virus :/ a virus usually puts in a file that is completely unrelated.

SA-MP (client) should create a UID (universal identification number) that is specific to that MAC address, or something physical on that computer. And servers would ban the UID + IP.

It's beyond redundant. I can come back to a server I was previously banned on within 30 seconds with my dial-up connection. Is it honestly worth banning someone over and over because SA:MP lacks the ability to ban someone in a more efficient manner?

Coding has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion at all. Sure a majority of you ban people with weapon hacks, but it extends far past that. You have the man who is extremely persistent in whatever their task may be, ranging from: trolling, harassing someone, bug abuse, advertising, and so forth.

That's extremely moronic to ban huge ranges to keep specific people out. Not to mention a waste of resources and time. Yeah, the half a second it takes for it to loop through the ban file and compare the players IP with the servers data-base. On top of all that, you're keeping everyone out on that range because of one bad apple?

[Bernardoo]

There won't ever be an effective way to ban players.

And don't worry about IPv6, yet. It will take sometime until it definitly starts being used.

Now everyone can get ranges of /64 ( about 18 billion IPs )

Some people are willing to go to alot of trouble to cause it. I had this member on my forum and i IP and account banned him 3 times (asin on 3 seperate forum accounts he made to be unbanned). Each account can only have 1 email adress yet he continued to make email adresses simply to post a topic full of porn pictures in every category in my forum. I had no choice but to set my forum to admin-approval only and only accept players that i had seen & trusted in-game.

I just though about this all and my main blowed up! No seriously
Samp could make a unique serial for copmuter while installing sa-mp. It would look for some registry keys, take a part of name/value of them and make a serial..

Topic: I'm pretty sure Kalcor isn't stupid. Him and his team have probably gone over Mac Addresses and HD Serials tons of time. You can't say that they aren't listening to you for no reason. They aren't listening to you because they have their own just reasons for not implementing Mac and HD bans.

GaGlets®: It's not that hard to find and change that also. You can use programs to monitor what registry keys a program is using and then use regedit to change it.
