Recently, there have been a few impersonators floating around.
[GT]Nick was caught today on IP 84.153.24.176 (p549918B0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de.). He told me that [GT]Sharon invited him to the clan. Two people told me that they were invited to the clan from [GT]Nick. They were [GT]Mike and M0ney. This person was never in GT (not to be confussed with the old player PartyPooper) and had no athority to invite people to GT. Other names that he has used are: *kc*Fidel and [M&MK]TiGGeR. I was told by someone else that TiGGeR was Agent Smith.
At any rate, who ever is on that IP has earned a ban on GT servers for impersonation.
The impersonator [GT]Mike will not have a ban, as he was 'dupped' into believing that a real GT member invited him into the clan.
Also, [e33t]DirtyBurrito has connected to GT servers several times recently on IP 67.181.161.114(c-67-181-161-114.hsd1.ca.comcast.net). I requested that person to remove the tag, and quit impersonating DirtyTaco's name. He ignored me, so I place a tban on him. A few days later, he actually changed his name to [eR33t]DirtyBurrito and DT told me that he was inviting people into eR33t. I warned him and then banned him. I then chased him from server to server (while he kept the offending name) and told him to change it, then contacted the server admins and had him banned from their servers as well.
Any impersonation of GT members (or other clan members/clans) will earn an immediate ban on the GT servers.
I hope that other server admins will follow this example and ban impersonators when they are detected.
I don't like to have to post people's IP addresses, *but* I feel this kind of activity deserves it as these people are trying to hide their identity through the theft of another’s. I will continue to post IP addresses for anyone that impersonates.

Good work.

Thanks, Derrek. While I am working on a login system to prevent impersonations, I'm sure people will inevitably find ways around it, so it's good to know the admins are willing to take action. It's also good that you're taking action in the meantime. With enough work, we can whip this community into shape!
For the record, [M&MK]TiGGeR is, indeed, AgentSmith.
-
Man, Im looking forward to that login system Jits. Nice work Derrek.
-
This is a problem in many games, and its very anoying when a person claims to be in your clan but truely isn't, and is on a server that isn't yours, so there is nothing you can do that would be immediate action unless and admin is on.
Good work on catching him, and I too await the login system.
Jistpoe, have you played Quake4 and seen the "clan" field that is in the multiplayer setup? I think that would be pretty cool to have, a seperate section of the scoreboard for clan tags. It would be a hastle, but maybe have the login system have a person register a clan name and organize information on it for other so see (e.g. - website, irc channel, members, what the acronmy stands for, etc...), and then only users that are added to the clan via login system could display the clan tags. Just some crazy ideas.
Since I'm posting on a "Cheater Reports and Bans" thread I might as well ask this here: Is there a perma-ban function in build 16? Or would if I were to perma-ban would I have to block their ip on my server or router?
-
Derrek u r right... I saw it and u spamed GET THE F*** OFF U LITTLE BIT** lmfao nice work on MeMi PuB1 ;)
-
@jitspoe Agent smith is indeed [M%MK]TriGGer AND Takanamesi
-
Not a good job Derrek, but a great job.
Keep it up.
Maybe staart a thread based strictly on impersonators, or maybe a web page?
-
Lol, at first Hi derrek!
I know that I am tigger, u dont have to tell me ;-)
but I didnt take any ppl in GT since my IP doesnt even start with 84.153 ...
Of course other told you I invited the people since _all_ germans in this game hate me...
*kc*fidel is my brother who is in Berlin (600Miles away from my hometown) for over 1 week now so how should he be on dp?! and why should he take people into GT?!?!
You got any solid proove that I accepted the people or just some people like MoSez pretending to KNOW that it was me?!
I'm looking forward to the login system too (jit knows that :D ) since >>SmD<< Viper &Frozer &MoSez keep faking my name....
The most easy way to find out that it wasn't me who invited the people is looking at the IP's.
Theyre not dynamic, they are statistic IPs (I dont know if u use the same 2 words in america, anyways: STatistic IP tells you where the User connected witht hat IP comes from, dynamic dont do that!) 84.153 is umm I think CENTRAL Munich where I dont live.....
I think it was just another try of Meini etc. to get rid of me since he started posts on MeMi forum as soon as he read this topic...
*I didnt change my IP but can connect to GT what means: It wasnt me ;-)
Nice try MoSez !

ok
At. 1st @pink u were in his clan right? ok (LOL)
2nd. Agent look at he sshot and be quiet ok? thx
3rd. In the past u did the same With DarKp and MeMi.. U faked their names and let ppl in it... so plz be quiet ok? thx
4.th. U said, ugh, like 5 months ago that ur brother have the Dawn syndrom and now he is kc whatever fidel.. so what is the truth?Liar...
5.th All Germans hate u cuz u r such an fake and fake names,clans ...
I never faked u cuz u r nothing....
Why would I? lmfao plz Shut the Fu**up and leave this communtiy thx
-
well agent, I told Mosez that you got banned from GT servers after i read this thread by sending him the link to this and he really didnt know. I recognized it by his feelings after he read that.
-
again...I found this impersonator on the ev1 servers. I connected and asked him to remove the tag and threatened to have him banned from all servers. he complied and then asked if he could join GT...I told him no.
I disconnected and 5 minutes later he changed his name back to [GT]Nick...then changed it to F***[GT]Derrek (explitive not fully shown).
Can everyone look at their logs, check and see if the IP has other names associated with it. I also ask that we get this guy banned for what he is doing.
What would you do if he was impersonating your clan?
-Derrek
-
About agent
<Derrek> can someone in germany drive out and slap this idiot?
<SkateR> ORLY?
<Derrek> maybe a digital slap would do :]
haha
-
And GT Nick is now banned from MeMi Servers
-
and Im not banned, 2nd proove Im not him...
Mosez, u said I faked MemI and Darkp.. omm lemme just say the TRUTH:
1. I was aMeMi trial member once, how should I let ppl in the clan then?
2. I know I had a DarkP tag but thisis I think OVER 2 YEARS AGO AND IT WAS A BAD IDEA THEN, and I didnt let any1 in the clan O_o (+ I had the tag 1 day and not anymore, sorry to any DarkP's reeding this .D)
LOOOL my bro has the dawn syndrom? cool I cant remember when I said that, but If I said it sorry for that lie O_O
enough for now...
(I found out that the faker was Viper, not you ;-) )
-
Who cares? Whoever GT nick is, he is absolutely terrible. Him and that Mike kid. They are without a doubt worse than normal GT members, so its ok. We know they arent in GT.
-
but fact is that he seems to be faking me 2 (since derrek said he used my and my bro's name...)
he should get global ban...
(his IP got permanent ban on all 3 M&Mk servers...)
-
Post removed
-
edit: you beat me to the Global Ban thingy, Agent. Sad <--- Agent doesn't understand that part :-(
-
Just to clarify...Agent...I never ment to imply that it was you, I was simply relaying what I was told about previous names.
From what I can tell...this idiot only connected once under each name I listed, and has not been on the GT servers other then that.
P!nk, I defended because someone said something about it when I whined in the #pball chan. I felt maybe I should explain a little. Thanks for the support though.

What would you do if he was impersonating your clan?
-Derrek
I'll check the logs when I get back. Do you remember which server it was, specifically?
P!nk: I was going by the IP Derrek posted and the IP AgentSmith used in these forums.
I was planning to keep the GBL limited to the most serious offenses (cheating), but I might make an exception for that dirtyburrito guy simply because he's taken impersonation to an extreme. It seems he's on at least once a day with that name. I also haven't been able to match his IP to any known player. It seems he's never been to these forums.
-
Not sure Jitspoe...it might have ben the hybrid. Just look in the logs for me connecting and yelling at him. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

heh impersonators! boy do i know all tooooo well about this subject. ive had people inpersonating me on this game for 7-8 years. mostly ganja (after my car accident ganja changed his name to unibonger and clamed he was me and was joining all sort of clans, skater is also known for doing names like "uni<members of a socially disadvantaged class" befor and a few other people puttin uni onto their name. if any admins are interested and remember mustang`s server (crazyladys husband`s server) use to run a server for dp, and he was well aware of the problem i was having with these people. soo he hadded a code into the server script. where i had to type in a password to use any name that contained *UNI* in it, everyone else who used uni in their name were automaticly kicked from the server. this might be a good idea for [GT] to make some sort of block on their clans tags, or mabbe its about time someone made a auth system for peoples names on dp. i would realy realy love to see this done...
;D ;D ;D
-
What's funny is that you could compare this feud between Mosez and Agent to the one going on with Uni and DT.
woah pink...
-
What? Ive never once impersonated someons name, so shut your fat sword swinging mexican ass up.
-
so I can't play as Unifemale dog if i wanted.. Uni is trademarked?
-
so I can't play as Unibooger if i wanted.. Uni is trademarked?
You didn't know that?
-
lol
-
Olbaid, that Uni "trademark" existed only on that one server ;-)
P!!!!nk I wanna be DT(casue hes the better map maker) in your compare... meini can be unibonger....
-
and? I love my uni :) sk33t sk33t sk33t and do u feal good in DT ass?
-
O_o
I just dislike uni's liner maps :D
-
P!nk: I was going by the IP Derrek posted and the IP AgentSmith used in these forums.
well, if thats the case, then it actually was AgentSmith on faking the nicks... IPs don't lie ;)
There have also been players pretending to be in MeMi, but all we can do is ban their IP / tban them from the servers, usually they come back with a new IP some days after..
-
What? Ive never once impersonated someons name, so shut your fat sword swinging mexican ass up.
yes you have...straight from the logs:
[eR33t] Observer 136.3 24.29.36.161:5199
SkateR Red 575.1 24.29.36.161:5581
Now before you get in a hissy....I understand that is not a name, per se....but you did fake a clan tag. You should think about things before you start posting insults.... espesially if you can be proven wrong.
Skater...I dont understand why you feel the need to fling instults at people as your first reaction. It is akin to a caged monkey flinging poo. Seriously....grow up.

Looks like this guy's been busy. Not sure where you got the IP for the [GT]Nick guy, Derrek, but he's been the same as the dirtyburrito guy on the EV1 servers.

Thats just from when Ive watched them play in matches or demoed someone during their matches.

Round about 3 or 4 millions of people should have an IP starting with 84.153 O_O (+ In Jitspoe's log he used Ip's starting with 67.... (what means he lives in the US, near washington!)
I believe P!nk that this just can't be only one person...
1. People in the area of 84.153 don't have such high pings on MeMi server
2. too many names faked : DT (that funname "[er33t] Dirty") , A GT tag was faked, I got faked, my bro (fidel) got faked etc.
I dont think one person could fake all these people..
admins should look into their logs how many, and WHAT different IP's were used by following names: [eR33t]Dirty (funname); [e33t]dirtyburrito ; [GT]Nick

but I didnt take any ppl in GT since my IP doesnt even start with 84.153 ...
/
Round about 3 or 4 millions of people should have an IP starting with 84.153
sigh...So your IP does start with those numbers ?
Im sure Jits wont say those two IPs were the same when it were just 5 numbers of it, since he knows most of the germans do have static IPs.
-
In the logs that Jitspoe posted:
IP Address: 67.181.161.114
This is the resolution of the ip address:
c-67-181-161-114.hsd1.ca.comcast.net
Since that is not a proxy server, ALL ofthose logins are from the same location/home/router.
-
and since it is an IP from the US, it possibly CAN'T be me...
but knack, how u found out that it's not a proxy ?
-
Let me refine my statement:
*IF* it belonged to a web host or soemthign like that, the web host could be used as a proxy forwarding service ( unlikely) .
SInce the IP is owned by Comcast and it is a residentially issued IP address, more than likey it is coming from a house. Unless.... someone has figured out a way to do a Q2 proxy via someones house.
-
That probably is their home IP, setting up a proxy isn't hard at all, but Comcast has really bad upload, so they would lag like hell if they were using it as a proxy. So who plays dpball in California? Check your logs.
-
lol 4thX used to live in california but I dont think he is a namefaker....
jitspoe, I have a question to the global ban system:
If you'd ban me, couldnt I just change IP and come back?!
-
Currently, but I'm going to try to add some kind of hardware bans in the future.
-
Jits, I guess I was given the wrong IP. I asked someone in memi irc chan if they had ops, and ComaBull said he did. Since he was not sure how to get the IP, I gave him the command (listip <username>) and he told me the IP that he found. Since you have access to the direct logs, I would believe you are correct.
AgentSmith....sorry if I tarnished your good name, sir, I was merely posting with the information I had. I removed the ban on the IP given to me, so if that was yours, you should be able to access GT servers again.
DT, thx for the clarification on Skaters use of the er33t tag. Skater...sorry for the false accusation.
It does look like this poser was only one person. Originally Dirty Burrito. (or Ur_Master, or Pimp_Ster) He must have started using the GT tag because I called him out when he started using the e33t (and then er33t) tag.
It would be wise to cut this guy out of the game since he is obviously not going to stop this kind of activity. iptables works great for bans, as the person would never see the server again. PM me if you need help with iptables.
Jits, did you search for that IP on the forums? I doubt that he is using the forums as he has not kept a consistent name in the game.
Thanks everyone for your support in this issue. Continued diligence is the only way to weed out the abusers in this game.

MAC address? Just remember that MAC addresses are spoofable, very easy to spoof in Linux at least.
Does b16 have an option to "perma-ban", or only "tban"? I want to be able to perma-ban, yet still have them able to view my site for information on how to be unbanned.
-
I searched for the IP on the forums and found no matches. I also added it to the GBL, at least for a few days. Perhaps that will wake him up.
For perm bans:
sv addip <ip address>
sv writeip
As for what method of hardware bans I will use, I don't know yet. Anything is spoofable, but that doesn't mean we can't make it really difficult to get off of the ban list.
-
for all of the nix servers, have the GBL interface with iptables......
THAT would be slick.
-
Puh, I'm glad that I'm not seen as a "guilty" person here,
since meini told me over ICQ I would be banned and started a little party over DP, (I couldnt read that thread cause dpball.com seemed to be down then) so I was a bit afraid of what would be in here...
Derrek, I have OPS on Freud servers, if there is maybe a guy called "newbie" , I just have to type listip newbie to get his ip, right? but what if he uses a funname????
sorry If I tarnished your good name
For the germans, I never had a "good name" so no matter man, wasn't your fault!
-
I think the "listuserip" command lists the ip's of all the players.
-
ah that works, thx alot jit!
why do all the players use different ports?!
-
The ports are randomized to prevent attacks.
-
for all of the nix servers, have the GBL interface with iptables......
THAT would be slick.
No...ick...Dont do that!!! I would never upgrade to a server that has that much control. a simple IP spoof with the right ip address could potentially lock all addresses from accessing the server completely. In essence, it would make the box un-networked. That just scares the crap out of me. besides, the pball server would have to run as root to be able to do anything with iptables (except maybe a list). Besides, windows servers don't use iptables.
-Derrek
-
Whew thats the part where I should stop reading since I dont understand what iptables are :D
-
No...ick...Dont do that!!! ...
We actually have a small script that does that on a forum I am a moderator on. 80k + members and the problem members, when we ban their ip address, the web server and forums just disappear.
It works great, but took a lot of testing.
You do have a great idea though... maybe a page redirect....
hmm....
-
[PMW]UR_MASTER connected [67.181.161.114:6584]
-
bain awah? :) ban him/her ?
-
hello. today at 13:02pm my time(GMT) i found a player under the name " [eR33t] Jesus". due to it being so early for a fellow er33t player (EST) to be playing i went to the server and was sure to find the player having a 150-170 ping. this stuck me because being the only european player from er33t i asked who he was. he said jesus and that a friend let him in the clan. this i laughed at and i have a demo showing all of this. pls help us crack down on this "impersonating" etc. it is so frustrating. many thnx and to any server admins pls ban this s.o.b. ( i had a demo but can't upload...?)
-
to add to this he clearly had no knowledge of fellow members etc and was clearly a terrible player with negative scores on all maps i followed him on. i didn know how to get his ip also to add injury to insult.
-
i really should remember to add everything but the server he was on was [aB] ApoBoc Clan Server (Public) [aB]|207ms|69.93.11.66:27920. hope you can check logs and ban that bastard. :D
-
I looked into the logs, and looks like this person was 'slayer' he has been playing lightly for a few months.
Ruddy, Im not sure a ban is in order here. Seeing as he said someone invited him into the clan...and that is what that 'dirtyburrito' was doing (inviting people into er33t)....I think this guy needs a firm warning from someone in er33t (may be someone that is well known). If they guy refuses to remove the tag...or continues to use it later, then a ban may be in order.
I just don't think he is intentionally doing ill will...I just think he got duped and isn't informed to that.
-Derrek
-
I'm pretty sure assassin ninjas have already payed 'slayer' a visit. ::)
-
i saw this guy 2 and can proof that someone let him in cuz i saw a guy :[eR33t]Spilie(or something like that)who let him in.so that´s not his bad because he tought a real er33t member let him in.
-
Post removed
-
i think it was one of the gt servers(i told him that he have to put this tag off cuz it wasnt a er33t member but he didnt :P)
-
Post removed
-
Is thier an Evil Duck in =IoD= ?
-
P!nk, this dirtyburrito didnt have [err3t], he had the tag: [e33t]
-
He had a few, including both i'd say.
-
saw a few days ago [e33t]dirytburrito and maybe his "fake friend" [e33t]Glitz
-
Will someone anwser my questions. :(
-
Im pretty sure theres nobody active on this forum of iod, so none can tell you if its a member changing his nick for fun. You should go and ask him personally.
-
I was in a server with him, he was asked if he was really iod, he said he was, and then Skater said he'd ask the iod leader...whoever that is.
I'v got a demo if its needed.
-
eii have you heard of him? Upsoon said he did not mind as iod is not active. But i dont like it personally. For example...
Ganja[Smurf] Its offensive, to me.
-
What the intercourse?
-
That what i said when i saw an 'evil-duck' in IOD.
-
he's a noobie player, so i very much doubt he is in that clan.
-
Some kid with the name Smokey.. i asked him to change it so he then changed it to
[i]Smokey
-
Screen shots would be nice. Not helpful, but nice. Then inform the admin via forums.

A global login is a good idea and would REALLY help
For example, there is another GNU GPL game out there c alled BZFlag. At first it was so tiny (roughly the same stage PB is in right now) that cheating/impersonating was no big problem.
About 6 months ago, the game started getting REALLY popular for online play. Cheaters inevitably followed. So, the bright developers came up with a global login system. It uses a PHP file and the forum user database to log you in. You use your username and password you use to log in at the forum and it authenticates you. Since it is unlikely for anyone else to know your password, it is semi-foolproof
I think it is also tied into the forum group system, so PRESTO dynamic groups/permessions...
It would probably take a good deal of work...BUT the list server is open source, and released on the sourceforge CVS. Look in the project BZflag and the cvs module 'db'
Just my 2 cents...
