[Suggestion] Anti-Hack Plugin

As long as it doesn't make it lag worse... +1

 

This seems good on the surface - but I'm unsure whether it would result in false bans or not.

 

I think this would be a great plugin to add because hacking just makes sg unfair for a lot of players me included and it is no fun when you have a hacker as long as this does not add to the lag then I think this would be a great pluggin

 

-1, I don't like the idea of false bans.

Yes, but why would they block it?

And, what if it counters a non-hack, now you are being punished for nothing.

 

The concerns in your post are why we would block it.

 

+1 skype me if u want reasons

 

I can confirm that this plugin does not result in false bans unless in very extreme laggy edge cases. Which are incredibly rare.
And I really doubt 1250 people would buy a $5 plugin if it were laggy or bad. lol

 

+1 will make it easy to kill certain people in sg

 

This. Honestly with experience from many PvP servers, the plugins sometimes bans or kicks falsely.

 

"Rarely" doesn't change the fact that innocent people get punished.

 

The greatest anti-cheat I have seen was on a server I spent two years playing. The idea they implemented which worked EXTREMELY well was silverfish.

During combat the server would occasionally spawn 4 silverfish around the feet of the player and any use of FF would be caught due to the fact that using it would cause the player to attack multiple silverfish at once (because thats what forcefield does) and it works well.

 

AntiAura does something similar, but with NPCs (invisible ones, mostly)

The current plugin we have, NoCheatPlus, gets a lot more false positives than AntiAura. By default, both plugins ban after a while. And both plugins also have the ability to turn off kicks or bans. (although I've seen AntiAura with kicks and never had a problem with it, even with 300ms ping)

At least AntiAura doesn't make you freeze up and unable to move for a good minute sometimes.

 

It is impossible to detect esp as it does not communicate in any way with the server. Same with minimap, esp, etc. They're all things that run on currently rendered entities. Freecam is impossible to detect for the Same reason.

All movement hacks for obvious reasons would be easy to detect, along with ones that allow you break blocks/but people you are not facing.

Click aimbot/trigger bot is hard because it's difficult to distinguish between legitimate swings that are times right and illegal ones.

~used to work with fairfight, the above things apply just just about all 3d combat games.

 

Some hacks can be caught, some can't.
ESP and Tracers can be blocked (or rather, severely limited) by not rendering anything hidden behind objects. Entities you literally cannot see in any situation. AntiAura does this. NoCheatPlus does not.

Click aimbot and trigger bot are actually (partially) blocked due to the way it utilizes NPCs when you hit people. (this also slightly messes with tracers, but not enough to matter). These (not visible in any way by anyone else) NPCs trigger the aimbot/forcefield/aura. The only way this can generate false positives is when you deliberately go out of your way to try and hit them
However, some good trigger/aimbots are undetectable as they perfectly mimic a player's behaviour. Nothing any plugin can do about that.

Basically AntiAura blocks more thoroughly than nocheatplus.

 

Does minecraft render things based on server sided preferences? That'd fix a lot, but games that I've dealt with have not done that.
