Seems that mentioned party has been bouncing around for a few days wreaking havok. I've slapped together some rudimentary anti-hack code (kicks for: spamming messages, killing via melee from long distances, and lots of melee kills in a short time) that has detered him for now at least. If you'd like to see the (shitty) code, or you'd like to have a copy of the 64 bit Linux binary, e-mail me at orbitaldecay@gmail.com.

Our friend, now known as "TELEKILL," has now implemented teleportation to bypass the distance kicker. He's fooling around in the server with his hax.

He also has a way to instantly kill other players. He sometimes turns off his teleport and just wanders about instakilling.

I was wondering how long it would take him to figure that out. Looks like more fun coding tonight

Arg, I hope you guys can figure this out, but in the mean time, If he attacks WazuServer, should I just exercise my ban hammer arm ? I don't want to break anything, so I thought I should ask first

Might I make a suggestion.
I have noticed that the hacker(s) have grotesquely negative ping, somewhere in the -17988800 range. Perhaps kicking can be based on that?

Sure, if you see him try to keep an eye on him and let me know if he's doing anything clever. I've added anti-teleportation code now as well. Unfortunately, this also breaks teleporters in the maps that have them But instead of getting kicked off the server, when a person travels too far in too short of a time, it just kills them Seems to work well so far, but high ping players might have some issues.

Does he only cheat in insta modes or is it everything?
I couldn't remember, and I thought it might be significant.

Thanks, Julian. I think he dislikes instagib, though.
