SLAC busts...

Ok.. I assume we should trust chaplaj when he posts names of who got busted etc.. But imo he should post some more "proof" as in screenshots, reasons what they exactly did.. Now he justs posts some names and we've to accept it as proof, doesn't make sense tbh

Cheating (Heur/Hacked game)

:D
(Heur/Hacked game) .... heur = heuristic?
afaik it stands for "it possibly can be a hack, but it's not for sure"

...? :o
Parent
nah heuristic means its a technique used to hack the game
Parent
heuristics is the method used to detect hacks, basically it sees how processes that are running with et work and if it by any chance fits into a certain catagory (like if it lowers your picmip settings past 0 such as palehook) then it is considered a hack. This way, you don't need to add definitions for eveyr single cvar to ban people like punkbuster does.
Parent
yes and maybe next time he should also post exactly what the cheat coder should do next time to make the bot slac proof

xx
He has been coding cheats for years etc and now suddenly we have to fully trust him? doesn't make any sense.. You guys all talk about "lolz he has a contract, he'll never do bad stuff", well show me the contract then.

It's not much asked to provide some more specific proof. If he wants to gain the full trust of the community, then he'll have to do better then what he's doing right now.
Parent
"show me the contract" :D
Parent
"show me the money" parody
Parent
coded cheats for years? you dont know what you are talking about.
Parent
He already was hacking 4years ago on telenet servers.. and he codes them himself.. so where am I wrong?
Parent
nexus and eth that was forced towards already destroyed servers, also he would be a pretty bad coder if it took him years to do them.
Parent
he has been working on cheats for several years.. that sounds better to you?
Parent
also coding cheats for cod atm :D beside making an anti-cheat for et..
makes sense....he just wants money....
Parent
give me the link to that kind of cheat and i will take care that he gets in really trouble :)

Parent
out of interest, how did you understand from his post that it took him years to code some cheats?
Parent
"He has been coding cheats for years etc"

afaik he did nexus and a year later or something he did eth, and that is it.
Parent
those two bots in two years and updated them, that's also coding, and he did ql cheats

so yeah, he's been coding cheats for years
Parent
i always connect the name chaplja with nixcoders... mh. :o
Parent
why are you moaning you want 10million cheaters on a list instead or what? :D

and obviously you need someone who can code cheats to make the anticheat if not he wouldn't know what he was doing.
Parent
no he doesn't have to bust 10million people.. and yeah ofc I know that he can code cheats... but you don't seem to get my point, I just don't agree with the fact that we have to trust a guy like him for 100% right from the start and that we have to accept everything what he says
Parent
well what it is you can't trust if it was anyone else he would be working in the same way, potty spoke to the manager of speedlink at aef and he said that chaplja does anything out of contract he will be taking to court 20 times over and the rest and also that no one in the community knows the money going into the project, so i'd assume that he wouldn't break a contract like that.
Parent
but you do take pb-violations as sufficient proof, without knowing how it was triggered, right?!
Parent
ofcourse I do.. PB was enabled by the makers of the game

nice comparison my friend
Parent
and is known to have an aweful lot of false positives too, but still 'we' barely doubt it :)
besides lets say, not pb but pbb, yet another organisation you also most likely believe(d) in telling the truth, even though they could have posted anything in their banlist :)

well tbh, I hadn't given slac any thought, if it wasn't for foxdie. I am pretty sure you could do the same and just trust an ex-pbb admin as far as that :)
Parent
it was in a patch, and only because everbalance support all ID games
Parent
werent u busted ?

Well, the screenshot section will be online soon I think, maybe that will be more conclusive?

i am sure there is more in there about a screenshot section some where if you have time to read it all...
Parent
a contract is nothing which is to be made public, noone especially. speedlink would like that i guess.
Parent
Do you seriously not question this?
Parent
no because i have that information
Parent
So can you understand that other people question it?
Parent
I agree.
read f.a.q.
slac is a joke
well i got busted but i dont cheat... slac aint working for sure, le fu chaplja
SLAC biggest troll CF has ever seen :>
sooner or later he will code again
well that made sense.
Parent
he is coding as we speak
Parent
i hope he dont stop coding otherwise slac will be dead soon :(
Parent
as what I've heard, he's currently working on a new screenshot system.
rumours.. I also heard there was a lanplayer BUSTED ;-)
Parent
busted yes but not for cheats :)
Parent
That was satz but he had corrupted ram and SLAC detected that or some thing.
Parent
QuoteSL Anticheat - User screenshots
The SLAC screenshot system is still in development, more information will be posted once it is finished.
he's making an own anticheat and probably making a cheat which won't be detected by his own anticheat

dubble cash (anticheatcontract + cheats) monopoly!
don't act so retarded flashy :/
Parent
wat is daar retarded aan? :) ge zegt zelf da ge hem nie 100% kunt vertrouwen, waarom zou mn scenario dan ook niet kunnen?

door zo'n comments te geven gade die manne da chaplaj gatlikke gewoon nog gelukkiger maken.. uwe comment leek mij ook vrij sarcastisch aangezien dat da al 1000x gezegd is geweest en da tegewoordig iedereen da as grappig aanziet

ah zo hard volg ik da hier niet dus kwist nie da da al zoveel gezegd geweest is :)

when i register at cb with slac id ,then i have to use the number in my sl-profile right? (0000XXXX)

made my day :D
Parent
and don't forget the money he's getting from the pharma industry, because SLAC gives us all cancer and AIDS.

and don't forget about viruses makers pay him for telling people to turn their AVs off to get slac working

Parent
even when his own bots get busted (ofc will not happen)
he still post just a list, which he can edit before release.
there is not an automatically refreshing public list like on punkbuster.
also read http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=110473#comment2445609
Parent
yes, thats our plan to get all the good teams out so that speedlink can win everything.

But now this wont happen cuz you got the knowledge :(
Parent
give me fucking proofs chaplja !
I already used bots with slac so dont trust it !!!
you won't find any rather famous players on those lists, since they obviously won't be stupid enough to use any kind of cheat while having slac on.

99% of those busts on the first list are simply attempts to trick slac.

and as for those polish and never-heard-of-guys you actually dont really need more proof than their names, since you dont give a crap about them anyways.
totally agree. but if theres a known name at the next list i think it's better with some proofs raight?
Parent
agreed. i have never seen any of those names before... but I still wonder how he caught them? wheres the proof :\
Parent
ur 100% right
i didnt download it yet since i dont play for cb or esl,
but isnt there like a trojan in there or smthin?
For the love of GOD people!

Its like you play games and you dont know shit about computer or programming. Used computers over 13 years and just for playing and still know something.

Its like "isint it trojan"? Answer is no it is no. If you donwnload crack to the game or crack to windows you will get same errors and alarms about trojan and viruses. You can check the program with other antivirus programs.

Can we trust chaplja... its like what a question is that? If speedlink is involved and chaplja gets payd. He has contract etc.. how stupid can you be to do something wrong and loose everything?

Another question is why chaplja? Well because he knows what he is doing. Coding is not an easy shit to do. I understand something about coding when I see it, but I cant write anything. Even program to say "HELLO WORLD" :D (well that i can do).

My thoughts about this. I'm happy that someone is doing something for this game. Only that persone does not get thank you. Good that he gets paid. Otherwise he would stop this years ago.
1) Why should u know something about computers or programming when ur just playin games?
2) Dont download games.. It's the only industry thats worth paying for.
3) Not every1 knows everything about chaplja or slac.
Parent
If all you know is how to code "hello world" and even that is a challenge for you then you shouldn't be the one judging on possible differences between trojans, viruses or ANY piece of software for that matter.

The journal isn't stupid. It's quite valid actually. All we hear and see is "word of mouth" talk.

1. Chaplja has a contract with Speedlink. Fine, but we haven't seen it and most likely never will, so basically we have to trust that he has one.
2. There is a bust list (with random no-names I might add). However, we will not get to see any kind of proof, or even hear the name of the bot the cheater was using. So I guess we have to trust that the list has actual cheaters on it.
3. There is no EULA. So if anything goes wrong with your computer due to the use of SLAC, you have no legal backing to do anything about it. So we simply have to trust that everything will be fine and using SLAC will not somehow fuck your system up and/or cause any kind of dataloss.

See the pattern here? It's all based on trust and to be honest, that's quite a lot to ask when this regards an anti-cheat being coded by someone who codes cheats. And don't come with this bullshit about "you have to be a cheatcoder to be able to code an anti-cheat" cuz that's UTTER bullshit.
Parent
QuoteAnd don't come with this bullshit about "you have to be a cheatcoder to be able to code an anti-cheat" cuz that's UTTER bullshit.
I give you that. There is indeed a big difference between being able to do something and actually doing it.

As far as it concerns me - I stick to foxdie(gosh...this really starts sounding like propaganda^^). At least I trust him by far more than I trust chapljia. I think it's pretty clear, that that programm is no trojan what so ever (even though i can't be arsed to check the traffic it generates over and over again, with each new version, let avira&co do that, did they already?)

What quiki meant to imply is, that most people are not exactly being very appreciative, concerning the slac. And he does know at least a bit more about coding than 'Hello world', just exaggerating^^
(probably just wanted to point out, that there are not many willing to code such(slac) - even if one gets paid for it - which can't be a rather 'reasonable' payment imo, since otherwise they could simply have gotten someone...without meaning to be offensive - professional.)

But indeed, I'm pretty sure everyone here would be eager to see an EULA being released (which afaik doesn't happen for many beta programms, not the ones I've tested sofar (except, that you have no claims whatsoever^^)
Parent
Do not get me wrong, it's not that I'm not appreciative of SLAC being made. I'm simply not appreciative of organizations such as CB forcing things on their users without a proper EULA or any kind of viable information that proofs someone on a SLAC list has indeed been hacking. I do not want/need to know the inner workings of SLAC, but you can not simply bust someone based on evidence that nobody is allowed to see.

It's like;

- You are busted and banned for a year.
- eeh what? For what?
- For cheating.
- "ok", and what exactly proofs that I cheat?
- That's classified info. Now gtfo.

Even courtrooms in any third world country is at least a little more transparent regarding evidence than this ;-)

And it troubles me that the likes of Killerboy etc are simply taking it for granted.
Parent
well, didn't mean to imply that YOU are not being appreciative - just expressing what quiki said - generally spoken :)

well, we also took what pbb listed for granted no? (well but some sort of violation trigger/or any other indication would be good indeed).

and you're totally right about not liking CB forcing to use an omnious BETA programm on their users. either shouldn't be forced untill the end of the beta (which imo would be a bit too far in the future) or untill there is indeed some kind of EULA, if SLAC isn't about to reach a final stage anytime soon (which seems more likely).

But about CB using the busts (at least in this point I'm fairly confident, that slac has been tested towards chance of failure concerning introducing cheat code)
Parent
Ronner getting a skillboost soon?
Parent
why would that be?
Parent
Ironic that the current bust list is just based on heuristics and that the same methods have SLAC show up in antivirus solutions.
Parent
afaik (if i remember correctly what chapljia explained to me in an earlier stage) SLAC doesn't use heuristics to detect cheats, but majorly uses checksums to see if the games' chace has been altered.
Parent
what reason do you have not to trust SL when they claim to have a contract? they're not retarded enough to invest in something that doesnt secure their investment...or do we have reasons to think they never invested in this just but secretly make profit of money made by backdoors and slac only bots?

QuoteIt's like;

- You are busted and banned for a year.
- eeh what? For what?
- For cheating.
- "ok", and what exactly proofs that I cheat?
- That's classified info. Now gtfo.


As Killerboy stated the other day, pb didnt tell you either. it just showed multihack, etc.
That being said, I doubt there are people on that list that are innocent (see the sa7z case) so there isnt a point in saying this.
and why would you want to let cheatcoders know slac busts their bots and what to improve so it wont get busted?
Parent
I'm not scared about backdoors or anything. Not at all. It's just that if Speedlink is investing in this, they should be aware of the fact that all of this is missing a very important ingredient. Any kind of legal backing for both them AND the users. Hence, we need an EULA.
Parent
Why you stupid nerds keep bothering urselves with such a stupid things :D ?
i´m not going to use that crap until i get any real proof of this beeing not a malware or backdoored file. And even then i´m not happy with it using it. SLAC gets whitelisted and trusted.. next automatic update will re-place the SLAC files with backdoored ones.. wohoo !


http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=d9c074ad0a94b5850a2136bd3ddddbdf611a1fcfddc1b017576c3a2c8ca98aaf-1284054824

http://virusscan.jotti.org/de/scanresult/bfd06561fe18b160d17cd9ee5b2c70b98b7be8f9


i have seen a thread in some "hacking forum" where a guy claimed to have cracked SLAC.. he also said it was backdoored. Thread got deleted and there wasnt any reall proof.. except that this guy seemed trustable to the community there.

The only thing i wonder is, why doesnt he just crypt that .exe file in a way to get rid of all the AV warnings?

@edit: i got alot to hide ! and on a side note, i would be happy if SLAC is the AC that the ET-Community has been waiting for.. but currently i dont belive that :S
actually SLAC gets detected because of the encryption. the AV progs list it as a trojan, because those use the same/because they're also resistant to being analysed.

if he'd encrypt the .exe in a way it wouldn't be listed anymore, he could also just not encrypt it in the first place.

edit: and if he plans to update the files after they've been whitelisted, those have to be aproved by the AV companies again.
Parent
if its the encryption which makes it dedected for 19 AV´s , then its propbaly the worst encrypter i have ever seen lol

i dont know how long it will take to whitelist a file, but i dont think it will be done from one day to the next one.. and that with every update? k :P
Parent
they're pretty fast with that - and you can actually send those files in before you release them ;)
(quite alot of companies rely on it anyway, so it's no problem to have 'every update" checked :D)

and it's not about the encrypter being "aweful", it's because it works :P
Parent
ofc you can send them in before you release them :D but i didnt knew that this process if going fast.

if he is smart enough go code cheats, an anti cheat software and make his own crypter, then he should also easily be able to make that encryption without having any false positives on AV´s.. having no alarms on AV´s is getting harder if this alarms arent false positives (and even then it shouldnt be that hard for him).
Parent
well the best reason why he didn't encrypt his cheats in the same way (doubt he did, dunno though), that pb didn't analyse files outside a specific pattern (et folders afaik) so you only had to move them and not encrypt. but if you want to upkeep a proper defence, the easiest way is to blur, so you can not tell, rather it is a possible weakspot or not.

nothing but assumptions though
Parent
you don't seem to understand how it works
Parent
That's like saying

"If the football player scores a goal against good enemies, then he must be one of the worst players ever"

You made no sense there, at all. A good encryption is one that can't be decrypted easily, period.
Parent
either read it again so u get the sense or i will just accept it and say oke

ye a good encryption is one that cant be decrypted.. but the securest encryption isnt the best encryption aslong as every AV trys to delete it.
Parent
Als Österreicher hoffe ich, dass du es zumindest in deiner Muttersprache irgendwie raffst. Wo macht es Sinn, einen Anticheat zu coden, wenn er so einfach ist, dass sogar ein Antivirus AUTOMATISIERT das ganze dechiffrieren kann und sich den Code reinziehen kann? Wir reden hier von automatisierten Vorgängen die bei jedem Antivirus ablaufen. Wenn es also eine hirntote Maschine schon schaffen würde, SLAC auszulesen, wie einfach wird es für den Cheatcoder, der sich dann genau anschauen kann, wie SLAC funktioniert, was es detected und ob der eigene private Cheat schon entdeckt wurde. Mal im Ernst, so dumm bist du doch nicht...

Es gibt viele Argumente gegen SLAC denen ich schweren Herzens zustimmen muss, aber deins macht keinen Sinn.
Parent
wenn wman etwas verschlüsselt, dann kann man es auch so machen , dass nicht jeder AV das als virus entdeckt. Das wird bei vielen viren/trojaner/keylogger so gemacht. Man crypted die virus.exe und dannach erkennt es ein AV nicht mehr obwohl die datei noch funktioniert. Das nennt man dann eine gute verschlüsselung (funktioniert,vergrößert die datei nicht unnötig, ist sicher, wird nciht gleich von jedem AV gelöscht).
Stell dir vor jedes programm hätte so eine verschlüsselung wie SLAC, die von jedem AV als virus entdeckt wird..

Ganz anders sieht es natürlich aus, wenn SLAC.exe tatsächlich ein virus ist. Abgesehen davon ist normalerweise eine verschlüsselung die es einem AV nicht möglich macht das programm zu durchsuchen, undedected (es wird also nicht von einem AV als virus bezeichnet). SLAC wird allerdings als virus bezeichnet -> schlechte verschlüsselung oder/und tatsächlich ein virus

So ungefähr stand es jedenfalls in einem unterkapitel in nem buch das ich eigtl. noch irgendwo hier haben sollte und einscannen könnte :o
Parent
"Abgesehen davon ist normalerweise eine verschlüsselung die es einem AV nicht möglich macht das programm zu durchsuchen, undedected (es wird also nicht von einem AV als virus bezeichnet)."

Ich seh definitiv, dass du nicht den blassesten Schimmer hast, wovon du eigentlich da quasselst. Für mich ist dieses "Gespräch" definitiv vorbei :)
Parent
What worries me more is that leagues are forcing a piece of beta software that has no EULA onto players. Like wtf.
Parent
yup.. the reason why i dont play any CB matches atm :o
Parent
well since they're forcing you to use it there's no point in licensing it to you is there :s
Parent
that made no sense.
Parent
yea i would rather be worried about SLAC being a malware or backdoor file than about the bans. Comp got rly fucked up after i played with slac for few weeks(without antivirus, because whitelisting doesnt help with f-secure). But now i got it back and lets see what happens this time.
Parent
you are is have right had +1
