ID spoofers

[paddy4444]

I was planning on talking about this on facepunch. But facepunch is well, facepunch.

Lil Story - Was playing a server and some time through Garry joins and I get the achievement. But the only thing is, is that Garry was a 11 years old and was speed hacking, aimbots and walling. Sometime later a second Garry joins. Doing very similar things.   

Nothing could be done apparently by the staff. As they couldn't ID ban them and some how they were immune to all ulx commands. Apparently this is a public release for skids on the MPGH forums. So there is a lot of this to come.

Is there any way to stop this currently? Forgive me if this is a simple fix because I lack knowledge of lua hence why I didn't post on facepunch. And as this may relate to the inner working of ulx, it might be better to put forward on here.

A thread was posted a few days ago on facepunch with some code that I think blocks this. It was written by the same people/person (MeepDarknessMeep and/or Leystryku) who made the ID spoofer I believe. https://gist.github.com/meepdarknessmeep/050993ac93dd0afd0125

Thankyou

Edit: Doesn't this just stop Garry/Garry? What if they spoof other ids to bypass bans?

Yes, It doesn't put a base ID in the code meaning it's for any ID. -- I think --

As far as I know, they aren't actually changing their SteamID. If you ban someone by SteamID, they cannot bypass that ban using this ID spoofer. All the ID spoofer does is trick the other clients on the server into thinking their ID is something else. It doesn't trick the server, which is what governs bans.
