Feedback / Idea for new way of ban
« on: April 08, 2013, 20:52 »
In the last few days i reported a mh er, he got perma banned + ip lock, and the day after, i found him in a game with his new acc. It was disappointing, so i started to think about how to ban mh users, coz the ip lock seems too easy to evade.
I found that mac address can be changed, so i tried to find something that is even harder.
Finally after some google search i found that hdd serial number is gauranteed to be unique to that manufacturer. Different manufacturers may use the same serial number. So a combination of manufacturer and serial number is guaranteed to be unique.
Since there is gproxy, which is a stand alone program that runs on the computer, and need to be the correct version, i think an experienced coder can make a function to that gproxy, which detects the hdd manufacturer and its serial number that can be send to the bot when spoofchecking. (This is sure able to do somehow, coz there are programs for it, like sisoft sandra etc.) The bot can log that combination. What we get this way is a globally unique identification method to the user. If the user wants to evade that kind of ban, he have to cheat the gproxy or get a new hdd. Both are much harder work then changing an ip or a mac address.
I dont have so much experience in this topic, so more experienced coders' opinion is needed here
