What is Sprunkbuster?
Sprunkbuster is a system designed to keep cheaters out of your server. It is a robust system designed on top of a reliable anti-cheat system to ban players for cheating and keep them out, while also reducing the risks of false bans. In 2010, the original Sprunk Buster project was launched by Woet - the project failed due to DNS range banning and a poor structure. This project has taken into account many of the problems with the old Sprunk Buster and fixed them.

• Built-in Anticheat System (Nex-AC) monitors known cheats on the server-side, and reports back to the master server.
• Cheaters which are identified are instantly banned from your server... and from every other server which has Sprunkbuster installed properly.
• Fast and robust system with most of the work done in the cloud.
• Accurate system of identifying individual players, avoiding false bans for innocent players.

How does Sprunkbuster work?
When a cheater is detected by the system, a ban request is sent to the master server (Sprunkbuster's server) to globally ban that player. If the master server acknowledges the request and bans the player, the player is then disconnected from your server.

By default, bans last 24 hours. Our staff reviews evidence for each ban and determines if it is enough to justify a permanent global ban. Even if a player gets unbanned after the 24 hours, we retain records and logs. Sometimes, we won't be able to review all requests within 24 hours - but rest assured, we will eventually get to it and that cheater will be banned.

If you wish, you can enforce local bans through other tools, in order to keep cheaters off of your server who you identify yourself. Sprunkbuster works hard to ensure that no player is global-banned without a good reason - we want to reduce the number of false global bans to effectively zero.

What if I ban myself or an admin gets banned by the system?
The anticheat system is a solid one - it does not have many false positives. However, if you get banned due to using commands (i.e. admin-fly, admin-teleport, etc.), make sure to take a screenshot or save a Shadowplay clip so we can investigate. We review all bans that come into the system to verify the evidence logged by our system.

If you believe you have been wrongly banned, you can appeal on our website: abstractiondev.net - requests usually take between 24 and 48 hours to review, and are typically reviewed during regular business hours, except in emergencies.

If you want to keep your admins from getting banned, use the following function in your script:

Code:

SB_ExemptPlayer(playerid,exemption_state);
* Playerid is the ID of the player you want to exempt or unexempt.
* exemption_state is a 1 or 0: (1) if you want to prevent the player from getting banned, (0) for everyone else.

Supported Operating Systems:
Windows
Linux (CentOS)

Send me a private message if you want to be a Sprunkbuster Moderator or Developer. I'm looking for reliable developers and moderators to help out with maintaining the project as it goes on. Moderators review evidence and unban innocent players, developers work on making the project even better.
