Finally after what seems an age CB have pulled out thier finger on cheating in ET. As you well know Clanbase Cheating and Abuse Policy was updated in November last year. A lot of work has been put in by #cheatbusters.et working closely with CB AC to bring the hackers to justice. People felt safe on publics to cheat, thought it was funny to cheat in the face of CB and it would go un-punished. "Too Late" i hear you cry and i fully agree, this has been too long coming but at least its finally arrived. No longer will it be tolerated and bans will be coming thick and fast over the next few weeks as we clear the backlog.
I'm under no illusions that cheating can be stamped out of ET and i would be foolish to even think it. I would like to ask for the help of all the server admins and players out there. If you suspect someone get pbss, take demos and make full use of the cheater report Here. There are lots of names hidden in the forum that are going through or being worked on at the moment. If a report has dissapeared dont worry its in the system. PBBans and PBS bans with IP address will be evidence and used to ban people depending on the offence, yawn shows the ban but isnt used in the process. Spoofed guids can be checked upon and will be spotted.
Here is a list of this weeks busts:
I would like to thank all of the Cheatbusters Crew and all those that helped:
Cheatbusters Crew
As i said this its been coming and its only the start of what can only be a good thing and i hope that some of the other leagues and cups follow suit. Thanks to
TrgT for sticking by the bans for the forthcoming Benelux Cup III. Help us help you and report them all!!! You can check for bans now from CB Home Page click Bans and search for Enemy Territory.Finally to quote

First the obvious:
My ip address: 213.118.183.248
IP country: Belgium
Hackers ip address: 62.179.58.91
IP country: Poland
I'm victim of a serious bug that slipped into the first ETpack release. Swine accidently forgot to delete the etkey in the first release of the ETpack, thats why so many people share the same etkey. So lets look at the starting and ending date of the pbkey I have warnings for:
yawn of evirdrevo, with 2 etpro keys = 2 different pcs

yawn of amd64

Then look at the dates of the ETpack and a private log between me and swine (im sure he doesnt mind, he also has the log i posted so you can verify the log with him)
ET pack by Swine (2170 views, 17 comments)
Posted by Overdrive on Friday 5th January 2007
Session Start: Thu Jan 11 19:43:28 2007
Session Ident: venue-swine
swine:you mean the etkey?
over: yeah
over: pbguid is same for lots of ppl atm :P
swine: deletet now for the next version
After the interface.cfg I did some reinstalls. At the same time I made a journal about losing a hd, ronner helped me out with a proggy to recover the data from my broken hd, proving I did a reinstall and used the ETpack.
Afaik it was Rafiki, who is working on a site that logs a lot of ip's, pbguids and etproguids,who told me a lot of people were using the same pbkey, including me. I realized it was the ETpack and immediatly contacted swine. Beeing a lame person, I only deleted it the next day when i got this message when connecting to telenet:
http://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=5&ban_id=18125
I deleted my etkey so I could connect to the server. As I showed you, the guid you are talking about Bulldog, is the guid used by ETpack 1.0 which got posted by swine in a journal a few days before i made it into a tutorial. A week later we updated to version 1.1, at that time I had already deleted the etkey, because I couldnt play on telenet anymore.
I never cheated, and I never will
ETpack by swine. New and updated! Get it now!!!
[20:20:42] Unable to login. Your IP has been banned.
damn you 7be93832 :'(
Edit: update, this is being treated as a case of a leaked/shared cdkey hence the pbguid ban will not be lifted.
McSteve
PBbans site staff
i think this is an older account of him
Good work Bulld0g & co.
I have done my work against cheaters now.
theres a thought that never crossed my mind
im sure he just cheated that time
its not all as if you can look him up on yawn, and find that he has used a guidspoofer, and accidentally played with his own guid without removing the spoofed guid.
but fost is the cockiest player ever, and also a very obvious cheater.
was fun whenever he would come with comments such as "lol noob get skill, i dont cheat"
thats not being cocky, thats being arrogant :)
new pb update was coming, he used a cheat that was expiring with this new pb update. so a good way to save his reputation of acutually "having skill" he uses a pub hax to get busted with, instead of suddenly quitting ET, or suddenly sucking.
however, thats just a theory!
i dont believe he was ever truly skilled, i believe he had some advantages
p.s i have nothing against aegrus, just foSt
And I mean, as far as I know, Razz didnt use rivatuner in officials, but Helix got all their matches forfeited
2) I don't know that, but as long as there are no proofs, he is innocent.
3) Yeah, I know. But read my conversation/discussion with mens0 and you'll know my opinion bout that.
--> Prepare to fight.
-> 3
-> 2
-> 1
-> FIGHT
*one second passes*
foSt: "Ok, they spawn at 25/55"
i can see any of my old permanent bans which i gave out while i was ladder sup
P.S. ^ HUGE FAGGOTS.
i think hes hacking for sure
haha
anyway hes banned, now deal with the nexus ppl plz
Ban more hax0rs pls 8)
And he gave a program to a friend of mine,
it doens't "improves" your aim, it just "helps" you !
I lol'd
keep on doing a gj.
or am i just mistaking him cuz of his nick :/
No need for proof or common sense. Burn burn burn!
zie ik daar rode /!\'s?
i lold in rl rly
or are you saying that they did NOT cheat on nc-final? :)
give me a break, why would guys like them ever cheat after playing on highest possible level. doesn't make sense.
go ask to any random team NL player of last season if mize and fost cheated

ill try and find the pic where someone who was convinced he hacked online actually apologized in person at quakecon when alea still played the same.
if you play in such good team that he did, its not that hard play good. And especially when there was no good teams against, other than u96d. idle.ee who was 3rd was maybe medskill back then, skill on LAN was really really low. No wonder he did play ok there too but that do NOT prove he would be not cheating online.
need more names on that list tho
daar kan je zelf vinden + je pappa
Omg, Netherlands yeah right!(even 4 guys) ;>
H4x rulzzz, lol'd.. ;P
Nice CheatBusters, gl & hf! ;))) :D
Yes, and you say he didn't cheat in wars? He just tried it on publics?
LOL!
The spotlight was on him for years (coz of possible haxing), and then the 4hs lügerskilled player decided to go to a public server to cheat?
Of course, very logical, and the north wind closed the tale book!
Do you really think that a possible cheater decided to go to public to cheat with an old hax?
If yes, then give me a logical answer about why he did it! :(
Anyways I don't really care anymore, I'm very curious what will be after a year when he comes back to play officials.
Coz he didn't stopped playing, nowadays he is doing around 12 kill 58 hs with 48 acc on praccies against high skill for sure, so I really hope I will not be here yet.
I'm not defending him, but to say that he cheated for already 4 years is a bit too much said.
