Anti Cheating program for XBC and Kai

Post by shortysk8monkey »

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=413192
Features
This program has the ability to detect (NOT SCAN) if any other players in your room have made ANY modifications to the map your playing (basically if they have a modded map or they put on AA//ANYTHING). In the picture you can see that one player is using it and it shows you who.

How To Use
You HAVE to be host in order for this to work, as well it ONLY works over system link so good use for XBC/Kai AND only supports Halo 2 as of right now. Once you host a room, launch this program and whenver a player joins your GAME not room on XBC/Kai, it will show up on this program. You may hit 'Scan' to if that user has any modifications or go to settings to scan on join. If it says 'Modified File - WRN' they have made a modification to the map. THIS DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE CHEATING. They could have other things on such as FOV or a skin they like (side note the WRN just stands for warning). So if you wish to kick them, this is the tricky part. You don't know what their username is. My program will tell you their player #. The player # is chosen by the time they joined the GAME. Player 0 is you, and as soon as one person joins the game they will be player 1 (goes from 0-15). It also shows you their IP (which I'm having second thoughts on including). So my best advice is to scan on join, someone new joins, it scans says its modified you kick the last person to join. In future versions this will be implemented.

Future Version
More games support (RS3 anyone?)
XBC/Kai username displayed (maybe replace IP)
Automatic kick (if modified file is detected)
Log (friendly logs to post and show everyone who has modified files)
Better GUI (lol!)

Special Thanks To
Well I have had help from ALOT of people well known Halo Modders as well. Some people I wish to thank glitchygaurdian, Iron Forge, xbox7887, runawaywarthog and everyone else. Thanks so much guys smile.gif *EDIT BIG SHOUT to Roofus for his patience, guidance and wisedom (he is a very nice and smart guy).

PROGRAMMERS NEEDED!
If you are a programmer or think you can help in anyway please let me know through PM etc. The program currently is written in VB and I'd appreciate some help on some coding issues, as well anyone who could do some graphics would be sweet. If your not a programmer and have a suggestion then I still wish to hear from you! Maybe a feature to implement or whatever. You can always send me a PM or reply in this thread.

Download
Will be available as SOON as I've finished 1.1 (very buggy as of right now so think of it as a BETA)

I guess its better than nothing, but I can't see it being too difficult to trick.

I'm guessing it checks the signature of the maps when they are sent to the host xbox to verify.
If so, wouldn't it be possible to make very small changes that don't change the signature?
I've read about a region selecting program based on analysing the IP's and kicking them when not from a certain geographical location, but this goes a bit farther.
Notice how he's thinking about selling it.
Lot's of people on Live would buy it, this man could get rich. :D
But they would get banned for interfering with the gameplay.
Using this program is probably a plus when your hosting on xbc.

I know of a way to re-sign maps with the original signature, or whatever signature i want for that matter.
I have a good feeling that that would fool the shit out of this program.

*bump*

has this actually been made? i went to the link posted and it either doesnt exist or im not allowed to view it. I'm really anxious to get my hands on this, because I always hear rumors about certain clans (who are suspiciously good) that mod, and it's good to put suspicions to rest. Not to mention know whether they beat us or whether they modded.

I think it's fair to bump this topic. I'm bumping because this isn't on the first page, and because I had a serious question about it, it's not like it's spam. Excuse me if I'm in the wrong.
