TWL starts using X-RAY anticheat

**thekiller** · 06-19-2008, 05:04 PM

I was looking at the page of TWL and and saw something at the news:http://www.teamwarfare.com/#news2697.
I thought I gotta have that. What is X-RAY anti-cheat? well its kind of a client-side program that takes screens for malicious codes or anything that would prove cheating, and when it thinks it found a cheater it takes a screenshot of HIS screen (like tali's pb, I told you I would have this too xD). AFter you have played you can click to upload the screens to the site (you need an acc to use the prog) and ppl over there watch it and bans the user's GUID and/or cd key from all other sites and ladders, tourneys... (most of them), I guess you can see its GUID in a logfile or something, havent found it yet but ill search on it, so you can ban him/her from your server too. I havent tried it on our server (didnt know if they would notice we have a cracked server ^^). But here is one it took on another server:

I first wasn't sure if it would also screenshot other screens, not only mine, but Ive never used uzi there so it wasnt me, but i dont think he is cheating here.

download it here if you want (you need to register):http://www.xraygaming.com/index.php?pageid=xac-download

It may cause some lag to ppl, but they ensure it doesnt and it doesnt give me more lag than w/o.

Its similar to PB ss but it takes larger imgs.

Im confused, it seems it only scans xray users, i think, what would be very stupid, no cheater will join xray.
im searching for another tool.

yeah i had downloaded and paid for a server like this for cod2 i am sure some of you remember it. I forget what it was called but we could never really get it to work right. You are not able to connect to the server without this program running it would kick you. But i thought it over and it would be hard to get everyone to download this program.

I believe that is the point, TWL will make this mandatory for all matches so all players will have to have it and if they don't then it will be assumed that you are a cheater and you won't be able to play. All X-RAY does it is takes screeenshots and monitor your computer for any processes that may be related to hacks so the only point of running it is to verify (to TWL and to the other team) that you are not hacking.

I don't think it has anything to do with detecting cheaters on public servers because as you said, no hacker would run this.

yeah i am sure you remember what it was red when i had you and blackbull make accounts and it was a small program that ran in the back. I am sure it is about the same thing. It would take screen shots and other things like scan the players files to see if they have hacks and such but you were not able to connect unless you had this program running i for get its name thu
