Need more protection!!! (Page 2 of 2)

I dont know that  much about the way how the bots are coded. Anyway I have a question in this
topic. The bots are most build as a new Client (so far i have understood this). Why should
it not be possible to ask the client for a MD5 checksum in order to prevent unauthorized
changes of code? Before you now scream 'WAIT! I use a usermade Client and want to keep it':
Just open a section here at the board or pm a special Support Staff member and ask if he/she
can register the client of the user who made one. A server that connects to one of the TW Masterservers
gets automatically the newest list of checksums that are allowed to get online.
As i said, i dont know if that would be possible, but maybe an idea?

It would be a good start, right?
You could put the algorithm in place, and save the IP address of the bots, then make a blacklist that would publish on the forum, like that of all those that hosts servers will ban these ip addresses.

After, even if they change bots could change algorithm. And all the old bots will no longer be valid. And I doubt that any developer who creates bots will want to recode their bots.

But hey, I probably too utopian vision of how to ban bots.

In a open sourced game you cant use md5 hashes , is client official checks, or any kind of server -> client request of verifying if its a bot. They can simply fake what we are asking for. The only solution would be analyzing player behaviour and bot behaviour with the server knowing where the mouse is at, what he is aiming for ,how much time it takes to aim, how far is the target, is client following a pattern of movement, is he continiously spin or aim while another client is near. This is all about behaviour analyzing.

With a method like this you can detect alot of the aimbots since not alot of people make them it will take time for them to change their code. Then you need to update server side analyzing the problem is its not worth the time. You waste hours on analyzing behaviour implementing it in code then just see there are bots that can pass it debug it then fix it.

Its not worth it

I just code and play DDRace nothing fancy

Maybe a client who is just partially open-source:
- the client, with a code that says it is a client unmodified
- The source code where the code is not displayed

Like that, the server knows that if the client sending the code, it does that can be normal clients

How do you know that?  I don't believe a lot of people do this "for winning", especially when there are 0 stats, and you can change team whenever you want.

C'mon, man... where'd all the team spirit go!? One Inspire clan member, does not simply give up or join the cheating team once le wild bot appears... A team that has an aim-bot doesn't  mean it's gonna win! You just need to burn up a lil', rage a lil', put on some hardcore tracks, and then you go FUS-RO-DAH, and you kick the shit out of him :3. The~End.

People tend to fail at spotting bots. But I've rarely seen an obvious aimbot not getting kicked, and if he wasn't, I would just leave the server :)
