Wrongful banning

Post by Rambomst »

A player on one of my servers was banned for "KAC: Command say exploit violation" and in the KAC log it says

Code: Select all

L 01/14/2010 - 03:29:57: rysheK (ID: STEAM_0:1:26694055 | IP: 59.101.176.56) was banned for exploitation of command: "say "[Trident-Gaming] Numbface attacked rysheK.Numbface killed rysheK with awp""
I don't believe he was trying to exploit anything he claims he just copied something out of console and pasted it in chat and the KAC log seems to back his story so... what is up with this? What he said in chat seems fine and doesn't seem like "say exploitation".

Well, it is and isn't at the same time. He didn't mean any harm by it. I'll probably downgrade the action say exploitation does.

Anyhow, the main reason why he got banned was cause of the color codes he ended up copying too. Any character that has a decimal value less than 32 gets a ban. The reason for these is that there is a very nasty exploit which can lag a server very hard though a character exploitation of the say command. It is also possible to fake server messages to every one through exploitation of the say command.

A update will be posted shortly to fix this issue.

Please wait about another day or two for me to finalize some other things I wanted to correct.

You can set kac_cmds_enable to 0 and that will stop the banning. However, this would expose your server to TONS of exploits crashing and otherwise.

Matrix, you need to post that in the Protest section as that would be a KAC global ban.

Maybe to fix this you could make it like the cmd spam where if its said more than.. 10 times in a second it kicks the player.

When is this going to be fixed? You said 1-2 days like a week ago and I have had to unban over 100 people because of this.

When it's ready.
I run ten CSS servers and have only seen two bans for this

Please be patient.

Instead of banning/kicking people could the plugin replace or remove said characters? I know other plugins can filter the chat for vulgar language, this could probably work in the same fashion.
