ET Anti-Cheat Effort upd 3
A while ago, I have started an effort to create an anticheat solution for our beloved game, ET. With help from the community and , I have managed putting together a small team that will do its best to achieve the goal of revigorating ET.
I present you the
ET-ACE team:
Quad ( core dev & project manager )
foxX ( core dev )
Elf Friend (core dev)
miTTi ( #xfire-project manager )
Coders & others:
chaplja, 
maan, FaKy, 
Pecka, AngelUw
Thanks to all the users of our website who contribute to our efforts.
Coding the software will start as soon as a design specification document will be agreed upon. We expect it to take quite a while befora a public beta would be available (say 2-4 months, but may be more).
We would appreciate any help from experts on the following topics: trusted computing, compiler design, reversing and anti-reversing, ET engine (client & server).
A twin project started by miTTi wants to save ET by means of
1. Stopping the cheaters ( Cheatbusters & ET-ACE )
2. Creating new maps
You can get in touch with us on our common QuakeNet channel: #xfire-project

not more better but more gooder.
edit: More gooder !
Oh, and default theme, you know :) ?
and pb detects public hacks. (recoded nexus releases not published arent public!)
only pb would detect your tool.

last time i checked, all cheats worked by DLL/Code Injection
If I do as little as force ET be started by my app only, many current cheats will stop working until people will get a new code injector that injects the cheat in an already running process
Hope many will jump on the bus and keep it driving!
- A non-free emailadress? Where the fuck am I going to get that stuff? I won't pay for anything to play a free game =/
Read the whole website next time ;-p
And I have a brother who plays competitive ET as well.

Anyway those non-free emails are easy to get, my isp gives me 5 of those with 1 gb each :b
GL quad!
Good Luck!
well, i whouldn't need to buy any domain, my father has a server, if I wanted to cheat I could just create the emails accounts I want and those emails from his domain are used also by his costumers, so they're "paid emails".
Sure, the system is not perfect, but it's much harder to get around than nothing.
lets see if my ISP gets a lot of haxors we are going to get a domain block and bibuy. nice.
Anyways, even if you get some people with a few "paid" emails, they are still losing something they paid for, and it's still better than nothing. No use arguing about it.
You guys from Romania have the call to be dubios.
If you can install that trojan to anyguys PC, u got his IP and his e-mail adress. So you can do what u want to. Lets take the example ebay.
With ur trojan you can easily spy the ebay acount datas and with ur proxy server u have his IP. So u could buy whatever u want to, give ur adress in Romania and the hacked guy will receive an e-mail to pay what u bougt.
did i give you any link to download? what am i trying to distribute then? tell me, when you downloaded your cheat, were you suspicious whether it was trying to send your credit cards away?
Edit: this whole thing was supposed to be for slyan, but it works for you as well. slyan's tone however offends me, unlike yours
1. Security through obscurity never works, so no need to hide any secrets in the source code.
2. Bugs will be fixed faster
3. Problems like the one you mentioned won't exist. By reading the source anyone can assure that there's no bullshitting in there.
You know, its hard to give someone your IP and e-mail adress without knowing what you are doing with it :)
The idea of making an Anti-Cheat tool for ET sounds really nice but maybe there are other ways instead of giving IP , adress away.
Interesting :p
If that anti-cheat soft will be approved and, of course, released you will have to use it, doesn't matter if it's made by Romanian guys, otherwise you gonna say bi-buy to ET . ( competitive ET)
And, btw...If you all know that some romanian guys are very good in hacking i have to tell you that you should know that they're good in anti-hacking aswell .
Well, the biggest problem is that quad needs some help, he can't do this without any support . He is able to offer his knowledge instead of nothing and you're reacting like an 11 years old kid, whose Power-Ranger/Superman/Spiderman/Batman/Pamela-Anderson/Brad-Pitt puppet has been stolen by a gipsy guy when he was 7.
I also had a few problems with some foreign guys but I'll never, but never, be a racist. On the contrary, i love that country :-)
off: gl in the future sylan with your "Razor Plasma" mouse owning cheaters in pubs. I'm your biggest "razorguy" fan ever. I bet 10 virtual $ that you don't have any diamondback, it's impossible to have a gaming mouse and like you don't know its name, you're just proud with your neighbour's mouse. Marsh !

and dont bet with me, with you r stolen money.
* IP-check
* E-mail check
* Password?
* GUIDs
IP-s are spoofable. I can possibly register with a spoofed IP, and play offi's with that same spoofed IP. Easy bash for the cheatmakers.
E-mail checks, you say that you need a "non-free" mail-address. What kind of database do you use to determine if an address is free or non-free? Only addresses of certain domains are accepted, or no addresses from common free-mailproviders like gmail, hotmail, yahoo are not accepted? Either way, it's insecure. The first one because you'll get a lot of whine because of valid domains not being approved, or the second one because it's easy to set up a mailserver/domain on your own.
Password? IMHO you really need that. Before playing an offi you should require the clients to properly authenticate (ofcourse full of hashes and encryption), because it ain't easy to spoof a good password. At least that will prevent people spoofing each other, but still you'll have the problem of cheaters getting new accounts all the time, with different(spoofed) IP-s or faked e-mails.
GUIDs? lol.
So no matter what you do, you still have the problem that this stuff is free, and it's internet. It's always possible to get a new identity.
I'm sorry for being pessimistic, i really hope you can sort out some good stuff here. But i bet you appreciate a little bit of constructive critisism anyways ;)
serious?
"ET IS DEAD ET IS DEAD" bullshit
sex-bot
so even in the dark u can aim ur penis correctly
theres always the current system of cheatbusters.et no? they are doing a very impressive stuff out there
isnt there something like this in aq2 and cs 1.6 and those progs are working pretty well?
is that supposed to mean it doesnt work well at all?
gl 2 you !
i think :/ but good luck
im sure 90% of this community can help in some way - be it financialy, technically or..whatever.
Do I even need to mention what's the truth, well, here it comes:
ET IS DEAD
cpc3 will be the last event for ET, then it's totally dead and everyone will play ET:QW, too bad czech mgc's wont support that game :(
ps: et is dead
Cheaters really fuckt up this game :(
i dont want to be negetive,its just z way it is. it would be great if what you are trying to do worked but i think its too late.
I will continue playing ET ofc, untill im the last player :P. Some games never die they just became smaller. The community will always change and as older the game the friendlier is the community:).
ET 4 EVA!
A few EC's back, it was still quite an honour to play in the EuroCup and to play all those big names. But these days it's so easy to get in ET. The prestige and the honour are completely gone. Just create a team with some names, rate yourself a 8+ and there you go, you might just got yourself a qualifier which you'll probably win.
If I watch a demo from like 2 years ago or if I watch the Hall Of Fame of RtCW on ClanBase and just see all those screenshots of all these old players and if I then again play some 3on3 vs some scum and trash, I don't think ET will last very long.
Cheaters will come and go and I personally don't think a cheater would bother if he got banned from ClanBase for 3 months. After all, how many CB matches does a random ET player play in a year. I know I don't play that many, except for that few EC or OC matches maybe. But the cheaters will think: "Why bother? There will be another season when I'm unbanned and ready to play again".
It's a nice effort and I'm not saying it'll workout the way you guys are planning. But is it worth the time? Is a crappy game like ET, cause in my opinion it is, worth all these hours of work and adminning?
It's maybe a long story, but to make it short: No, I don't think it's worth the effort.
It's not a negative comment though, I do wish you good luck!

The bigger the group is the higher the risk will be that someone leaks inside information on how it works (or even the source), and then it won't be hard to bypass.
(Looks like you've already got one cheat maker registered...)
