User's Guide for "KidBu$ter"

[SOTOMac]

KidBu$ter - Report on Version : 2.0.0.8 / Newest Version is now Out

DL the New, Improved, Issue Free "KB" @ http://www.kidbuster.tk

Finally,

There is now a Viable Cheat Detector Program for "GR", "DS", and "IT" called "KidBu$ter". This Application has been made available to the Community through the Efforts of a Team called =2L=.

The "KidBu$ter" Program comes as a 1.5 MB .exe File that must be Installed to the Main Program Folder of Your Installation of "Ghost Recon". "KB's" Install process should be Directed to that Program Folder so as to be able to do what It was designed to accomplish - Ban and Prevent Cheaters/Hackers from Joining a "KidBu$ter" Enabled Server...

In the following paragraphs I will Detail to a Potential User of "KB" how to use this Program to It's fullest extent so that It operates seemlessly with Server Enabled Mods, "GR" Server Tools, as well as any Remote Administration tools that Your Server may have Installed.

That said - Lets begin...

Before doing anything - You must be sure to allow all TDP and all UDP Traffic for "KidBu$ter" through any Personal Firewalls You may have set up on Your PC. Then - As You start up the Application You'll be prompted to connect to the Internet ( That is - If You're not connected already ) and You will be presented with the Main Program Applet. The Main Program Applet has 3 Tabs as shown below ;

I.P. Client Join Tab w/ Start "GR" Button - Inactive.

Client - This Tab is used by the Joining Player to connect to a Server and then Enter that Server through the use of "KB"

"KB" "GR" Server Information / Launch Tab ( Note Language Drop-Down Selector ).

Server - This is the Tab where all Server Information can be Obtained ( I.P.s, Players Banned by I.P., Log of Cheat Activity - If any ). This is also where the User of "KB" would activate the Server, Launching "GR".

"KidBu$ter" Server Options / Announce Tab.

Options - This Tab is used to configure "KB's" Server Options both as a Dedicated Server ( Remotely ) as well as a Standard Server ( You Hosting through Your Home P.C. Direct I.P. to I.P. ). Additionally, the Auto-DeBan and Ban settings are available through this tab as well as the Ability to Launch the Server or to Unban Players You think deserve to be Unbanned. The Announce Port for the Server is also Detailed where You see in the Image above.

Selecting the Language that "KB" will be presented to You is located in the Drop-Down Box located in the Middle of all 3 Tabs with the Program up and Running as depicted by where It says "English". Simply Select the Language that You wish "KB" to be presented in, and You are ready to start "KidBu$ting".

With the Above stated We will - First - Look at the Situation as if You were goin to Join a "KidBu$ter" Enabled Server with "KB" and were in need of the Information to do so.

The first thing that We as Users need to do is to configure "KB's" Options. Select the Options tab and make sure that the following Options are Enabled or Selected before proceeding.

"KidBu$ter" Server Options / Announce Tab.

Client Joining MP Server ( Dedicated or Not )

1. Ensure that "KB" is Enabled as the Top Priority Mod down through Your List of Enabled Mods and then shut down "GR".

1. Standard Server ( Non-Dedicated Server ) - Selected.

2. Activate "KB's" Notification Sounds - Selected.

3. Post Ban Information ( This Feature is still being thought about as to what to do with the Information gathered but reports the Cheats "KB" has busted Players with / The Resource that gathers this Info can be found @ http://www.lornet.net/locknload/kidbuster/liste.php ) - Selected.

4. Post I.P. Publicly ( This Feature is still being thought about as to what to do with the Information gathered but "KB" reports the I.P. of the Offending Cheater at the time They were busted by "KB" using Cheats on Your Server to a =2L= Database / The Resource that gathers this Info can be found @ http://www.lornet.net/locknload/kidbuster/liste.php ) - Selected.

5. Auto-Deban - "Never" Selected ( You can empty the List of Banned Players as You see fit with the Applicable "Empty List" Button on the "KidBu$ter" Server Options / Announce Tab or by slecting one by one, those Specific Players and then hitting the DELETE key.).

6. Click Save and retain this Configuration of "KB" as You'll be prompted to save anyway before being able to select another Tab on the Program.

Now - Go back to the Client Tab and enter the following Information ;

1. Server Address by I.P. ( EG. XXX.XXX.XX.XXX )

2. P.W. If Enabled at that Server.

I.P. Client Join Tab w/ Start "GR" Button - Active.

Once the PW ( If any ) and I.P. are entered You are ready to Join the "KB" Enabled Server. Click "Vailidate" and "KB" will then Query that specific "GR" Server that You've just previously entered the Information into for Validation. Once "KB" has found the Server / Validated Your Ability to Join because of You having "KB" Enabled as well, and the Fact that You are Cheatless - You'll then see that the Previously Grayed-out "Start GR" Button is now Active and ready to be Clicked for Joining that Server.

Click "Start GR", and the Program will start "GR" for You and take You to the Server. Please be patient as this can take up to 30 Seconds for Your Installation of "GR" to Load up and get You into the Server.

Notes :

- Once You are on the Server and Ingame, minimize "GR" down to the Task Bar using Alt-Tab and then Minimize "KB" to the Task Bar before restoring "GR" to Play. For those Who have troubles with the Alt-Tab feature of "GR" - They can simply Minimize "KB" as "GR" launches before It comes to their Desktop.

"KB" "GR" Server Information / Launch Tab ( Note Language Drop-Down Selector ).

Launching Server / Dedicated Server

When attempting to Launch "GR" as a Server with "KidBu$ter" all the Host need complete are the following steps ;

Start up "KB" and Click on the Server Tab. Once You've got to this Tab the Server can be simply Launched by Clicking the "Activate Server" Button located under the "I.P.s and Ports connected to the Server" Listing.

"KB" will then Launch "GR" as a Hosted Server on Your P.C. or remotely on the Dedicated Server. Again - In all Instances minimize "KB" to the Task Bar as soon as You're able to after Lanching Your Server through "KB".

When running "KB" on a Dedicated Server remotely from Your P.C. there are some Issues to Note.

Compatibility with "GR" Server Tools

"KB" will run flawlessly with "GR" Server Tools if operated in the following Manner.

1. Start up "KB" and Select the Server Tab ( The Message under the "Log Listing" will Read - "Waiting for "GR" Server ).

2. Minimize "KB" to the Task Bar @ the Ded. Server.

3. Open up "GR" Server Tools and make sure that all Options are selected as they should be with the Inclusion of Activating "KidBu$ter" as a Mod in Your Ded. Server Options Tab. Also - "KB" should be given First Priority in the Mods Listing so that all Potential Joiners will see that as the First Requirement they need in order to Join Your Server.

4. Click Save and retain this Configuration of "GR" Server Tools as You'll be prompted to save anyway before being able to select another Tab on the Utility.

5. Go to Your Server Control Tab ( "GR" Server Tools ) and Click on - Start "GR". "GR" will launch and have "KB" monitor the Server for any Joining - Or - already Joined Cheaters.

6. Minimize all Programs Running on the Remote Computer to Task Bar and close the Remote Interface to It.

7. Click on "KidBu$ter" on Your personal P.C. and Join the Server as Detailed above in the "Client Joining MP Server" Section of this Report.

"GR" should then Launch and take You to Your "KB" Enabled Dedicated Server with no Issues.

Mods

Some of the more Popular "GR" Community Mods are still allowed ( Full NV / Full Binoculars / Sniper FullScreen / Modded Command Map Grids for GR, DS, & IT) ) but only If Installed with =2L='s Methods as Described at the Following Linked Page ;

http://www.lornet.net/locknload/kidbuster/...oad.php?lang=en

In Addendum

The "KidBu$ter" Program is an Immensely Welcome addition to Our Arsenal of Cheat Detectors and Anti-Hack Measures for "GR". The App. is Update-capable and is current mostly all of the Time .

When new Cheats or those Undiscovered come out they are simply Coded into the App. and It updates all other Copies with the Applicable Info over the Internet as You connect. The Methods of how this App. works and does what It does will not be discussed by this Author as It deals with the Integrity of the App. and that - I will not Violate.

There are 2 Types of Cheats that are used in "GR". The First set are Texture Cheats in which Modified Textures are used to gain an Unfair advantage by those using them ( Full Screen NV, Full Screen Sniper Scope, etc. ). The Second set are those created as VB runtimes ( Auto-Aim, Homing Bullet, etc. ).

The Cheats that the "KB" Program will Detect and Bust are Many and Varied. The exact Cheats or Hacks that this Program BUSTS have been kept private by the DEV Team of =2L=. If You have questions regarding this - Please contact =2L= for that Information as they've needed to keep that Info private for the DEV Team as this App. has come to Fruition. One thing I do know is that now there are Very Few Cheats left that this App. doesn't already Bust.

The reasons why "KB" must be run from It's own Program Interface are as follows. "KB" needs to be an application running in Parallel to "GR" in order to fully protect the User from those Who use Cheats ( A simple Mod doesn't ) as well as to Engender the same power as the Cheats can have. That said - =2L='s Subdino tells Us that a fully automated A.C.P. (Anti-Cheat Program) which runs in background not Interfacing with the User, and only reading and deducing it's needed behavior from the "GR" state is entirely possible. Possible Indeed, but It would easily demand more hacking to "GR" than every other Cheat could ever do.

"KB" is currently a Freeware Program and as far as I've been told - Will remain so. "KB" is not open-source and will remain as such so as to avoid the very simple "Analyse-Hack" Method that the Creators of these Cheats use in order to Crack the Countermeasures taken against them. That said - Get "KB" while the going is Hot.

Nothing against something or someone that has gone to the trouble of trying to make the game a better experiance for all of us......but

Just from my quick read through of this ap it seems to be a whole lot of trouble to go through every time I want to host a game or join one that has this ap running. At least for now...I say that because I have not ran into that many cheaters and I have been playing this game online since the very day it came out. ( when I say not that many , I mean like 2 in 2 years )

I think that anti-cheat proggies are a great thing. (We always ran Punkbuster when I played CounterStrike and Q3) By the way.....do you think that the makers of Punkbuster will have any issues with the name that was chosen for this ap?

Whats wrong with the idea of MORPH? I think that a simple proggie such as MORPH that simply dissallows the use of anything not standard to GR is a great idea. Whats the chance of you getting together with these "French" guys to make their proggie easier to use?

Just a couple simple questions....everyone always seems to take my posts the wrong way....I really am trying to bring to light good questions.

[=2L= Subdino]

First of all, thanks SOTO for your documentation of KB. You did a great work.

Then I'll try to make some points clearer :

-The 'post' options :

These are used to send to our database informations about running KB-protected servers and client & servers who cheated. So, please deselect these options if you plan to try KB capabilities in detecting cheats, to avoid beeing told as a cheater without any serious reason.

(EDIT)

Where you can view these informations : http://www.lornet.net/locknload/kidbuster/liste.php

(/EDIT)

-Removing banned players :

You can unban the full list with the 'Empty the list' button, but you can also unban players one by one with selecting them and hitting the DEL key.

-KB status :

KB is more a freeware than a shareware. It is not open-source to avoid a very simple analyse-hack method. KB, I'll repeat it, is far from unbreakable as I don't want to spent money in an expensive -and still breakable- protection.

-Making KB use easier :

I'm aware that KB's use is somewhat complicated, but I got some restrictions that affects it's simplicity :

+ KB needs to be a parallel running application to fully protect from cheats (a simple mod doesn't) and to get the same power as the cheats can have.

+ A fully automated ACP which run in background without interface with the user and only reading and deducing it's needed behavior from the GR state is realisable, I'm sure... but needs more hack in GR than every cheat program would ever do (and I even don't know how to start such a program).

One final word...

I made KB as a pastime program. I put in it all my knowledge to make it better, but it's still a pastime. Updates aren't garanted at all, neither do support, and that's why it's totaly free. If it gets crack and I can't repair the damage... It will be aborted, but at least we would have play a little bit more serenly for a time.

Subdino thanks for your effort, its appreciated. Sotomac your guide is really good thanks. Yes lets hope for a while at least we will all be on an even foot again

[John_Pain]

Thanks Mac for the good review.

And many thanks to =2L= for this program. I hope it catches some of the cheaters out there.

[John_Pain]

One request tho..............

.....can you remove the music ?!?

(j/k)

[SODOFFSandman]

Just one question, when someone who has a cheat enabled, tries to connect to a KB server, does KB first try to disable the cheat or does it just automatically ban the person?

Also when a person is detected as cheating, do they get notice and a chance to remove the cheat?

Cheating is bad, but not telling the "cheater" to clean up his act can be just as bad. Just like people who kick people off with no explanation about why they're kicking the person off. Basically saying, with that, that a server admin could be perceived as rude if there has been no comments or explanation for a ban.

Sorry just had to rant there.

Oh and btw, benefits of this could be better realized if you could still setup and launch from GameSpy or UBIcom without a special client. It is a step in the right direction.

Edited May 28, 2003 by SODOFFSandman

[=2L= Subdino]

There are two kind of cheats :

-texture cheats : (before runing GR)

When trying to join a KB-protected server, the KB client searches for modified textures. If it founds some, you cannot enter and a message is shown on the client's status line (the one *into* the client area, not the one at the very bottom of the window wich is only used to display contextual help) and the client didn't gets banned. Once he corrected the non-standards textures he could join without any server action (de-ban).

-run-time cheats :

Both modifing textures at run-time and runing a cheat (wich is *only* detected when KB & GR are loaded and connected) generates a ban from server. That was chosen because if you got kicked when runing a cheat, you already know why you would be banned and you make your choice on purpose. This is different from a laggy player that get kicked without a word.

About ubi & gamespy integration.

This *should* be possible to integrate KB to these programs if you can choose wich exe is ran when a game is selected. But no tests have been done yet (ubi seems to revert to GhosRecon.exe each time I choose KB instead). KB uses sames arguments as GR does, so there is no direct compatibility problem.

I dont think a cheater has any right to know anything or given any explaination for anything. As far as being kicked off of a server...its actually up to the "owner/host/admin" of a server to decide if someone needs a reason for being kicked/banned. I personally will ban someone if the offence is bad enough in my eyes, without warning. I will warn against small things only once, then I will ban them on second offence......unless it was accidental TK's.

Bottom line.....cheaters and peeps that dissregard server rules are the same. "Punks". And deserve nothing but a swift cyber kick in the pants." perm ban".

[SOTOMac]

The Report has been Updated and corrected as Per =2L= Subdino's comments from Above. TY once again Sub.

Some of the more Popular "GR" Community Mods are still allowed ( Full NV / Full Binoculars / Sniper FullScreen / Modded Command Map Grids for GR, DS, & IT) ) but only If Installed with =2L='s Methods as Described at the Following Linked Page

That would seem like a big concern seeing as how those are reportedly widely used and downright unfair. Why even allow the possibility ?

[SODOFFSandman]

Thank you, =2L= Subdino for the explanation of what the various cheats are and how they're handled. I still have no idea how some of them work, I've tried things, but GR has a sort of built in anti-cheat, the .gun file I modified doesn't have any effect when I connect to another server.

I'll have to say, I agree with everything you say.

KB is deffinately a bonus for the community. Oh and I'm sorry if it sounded like I was trying to start a flame war or defending cheaters.

That "Built in Anti Cheat" is just a read only status on the file, no biggy. I had to find this out the hard way when i was making my NO Full Auto and Nade Spam Mod, which brings me to my next question.

Will KB effect

#1- My modified gun files for no full auto and nade spam, as its not an activated mod but a server sided one.

and

#2- will it effect user-only grids on maps so that you dont have to activate it?

Thanks for any input

I think my question has been answered by one of the =2L= team members but that raises my next question since I dont have any knowledge of mods that allow FSNV, sniper FS.

Will all of the mods that allow FSNV/sniper be reported to the client from the dedicated ?

This will be an important consideration to TCZ and probably any of the ladders considering this AC.

[Guest SOG-Phoenix]

I Have to agree with WickedWeasel's way of dealing with CHEATERS and SOTOMAC's program has given everyone a chance to deal with the problem.

If I may add something to this, it is this;

When your playing against other players and someone says " YOUR CHEATING you no-good *@*#* " and in my case I know am not YOU HAVE TO DEFEND YOURSELF ! Am sure that everyone one of us who plays GR on-line as a SNIPER gets accused of CHEATING, WHY you ask ? Because the smart ones who knows how to SNIPE, USES THE TERRAIN !

I didnt design the maps but I use the terrain to my FULL ADVANTAGE and thats where alot of players accuse me of cheating. I have not and will not remember all the GLITCHES in the maps, Its a waste of my time and it would really make me feel like a CHEATER.

As a member of SOG, WE DONT AND NEVER WILL ENLIST CHEATERS AND WE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN ANY ON-LINE GAMES WITH SUCH !

[John_Pain]

Once again my concern was answered by =2L=, this program is looking better and better. Sorry Mac, you had provided the link for this but it still wasnt clear to me.

Thanks Gambit !

Kb$ does not allow any NV or fulls screen sniper modification. the only way to do this is to have - our - custom designed NV mod installed and active (selected) on the host (if not installed/active kb$ will not let any client join with such mods).

Kb$ doesn't deal with other mods for now. from scratch it has been designed to no-mod play (kb$ doesn't check for textures modification or any file modification in GRM48, HX4 or many mods out there, kb$ is not designed to protect server running all sort of mods)

kb$'s actually designed to run on servers hosting GR,DS,IT [nomods].

maybe it'll designed to protect Frostbite servers but not sure at this time.

if our NV mod is installed and activated by the server, it'll be reported in the server active mods list where you can actually see : mp1,mp2,kidbu$ter.

all server activated MODS are reported this way as we are talking about real MODS (not weird-client-only modifications = cheats).

[John_Pain]

SOTOMAC's program has given everyone a chance to deal with the problem.

that would be team =2L='s program and their effort is applauded !

But once again many thanks to Mac for that fine report.

It seems that GR automaticaly downloads weapons informations from server (the window says "Downloading server informations") to make everybody use the same configuration... for very few files unfortunately.

And what TDP and UTP ports does Kidbuster use?

My Kidbuster works on my LAN,but not on WAN.

Any sugestions how to fix this?

You kan see my server on ASE.Its called Slayers

[Guest SOG-Phoenix]

Sorry about the mix up JOHN PAIN, =2L has done a great job and SOTOMAC had explained it very well, It was not my intention to pass-the-buck credit from 1 person or group to another.

Its just that all the good GR staff and clans have developed a good rep with all the players And we do look up to them as TEACHERS and TEAMMATES !

Keep up the good work all

[=2L= Subdino]

FUNKILL,May 31 2003, 15:54 ] And what TDP and UTP ports does Kidbuster use?

KB uses a single TCP port when run as server : 8081.

[John_Pain]

It was not my intention to pass-the-buck credit from 1 person or group to another.

Im sure everyone knew that you didnt

Man I just really appreciate the effort that =2L= has put forth here regardless how well it works. Although Im sure it will do great.

[connie lingus]

Greetings!

I noticed that while I'm at work using the company's cable lan connection(yes I play at work), I'm unable to join IP's that are running the Kidbuster Anti-Cheat Tool.

Given the fact that I'm not using cheats, can anyone tell me why I cannot join these rooms? Let me say that the server I use will not allow me to host, as it has an internal firewall.

[=2L= Subdino]

If KB isn't able to check it's last version, it changes his protocol to be incompatible with on-the-net servers...

You'll ask why ?

Because I'm paranoïac... and I thought that if someone wanted to use an older bugged version of KB to cheat, he would spoof the version check... So if the version cannot be validated, KB is only able to join not-on-the-net servers.

Hope it gave you the clue...

Also - "KB" should be given First Priority in the Mods Listing so that all Potential Joiners will see that as the First Requirement they need in order to Join Your Server.

4. Click Save and retain this Configuration of "GR" Server Tools as You'll be prompted to save anyway before being able to select another Tab on the Utility.

5. Go to Your Server Control Tab ( "GR" Server Tools ) and Click on - Start "GR". "GR" will launch and have "KB" monitor the Server for any Joining - Or - already Joined Cheaters.

6. Minimize all Programs Running on the Remote Computer to Task Bar and close the Remote Interface to It.

7. Click on "KidBu$ter" on Your personal P.C. and Join the Server as Detailed above in the "Client Joining MP Server" Section of this Report.

"GR" should then Launch and take You to Your "KB" Enabled Dedicated Server with no Issues.

Mods

Some of the more Popular "GR" Community Mods are still allowed ( Full NV / Full Binoculars / Sniper FullScreen / Modded Command Map Grids for GR, DS, & IT) ) but only If Installed with =2L='s Methods as Described at the Following Linked Page ;

In Addendum

The "KidBu$ter" Program is an Immensely Welcome addition to Our Arsenal of Cheat Detectors and Anti-Hack Measures for "GR". The App. is Update-capable and is current mostly all of the Time .

When new Cheats or those Undiscovered come out they are simply Coded into the App. and It updates all other Copies with the Applicable Info over the Internet as You connect. The Methods of how this App. works and does what It does will not be discussed by this Author as It deals with the Integrity of the App. and that - I will not Violate.

There are 2 Types of Cheats that are used in "GR". The First set are Texture Cheats in which Modified Textures are used to gain an Unfair advantage by those using them ( Full Screen NV, Full Screen Sniper Scope, etc. ). The Second set are those created as VB runtimes ( Auto-Aim, Homing Bullet, etc. ).

The Cheats that the "KB" Program will Detect and Bust are Many and Varied. The exact Cheats or Hacks that this Program BUSTS have been kept private by the DEV Team of =2L=. If You have questions regarding this - Please contact =2L= for that Information as they've needed to keep that Info private for the DEV Team as this App. has come to Fruition. One thing I do know is that now there are Very Few Cheats left that this App. doesn't already Bust.

The reasons why "KB" must be run from It's own Program Interface are as follows. "KB" needs to be an application running in Parallel to "GR" in order to fully protect the User from those Who use Cheats ( A simple Mod doesn't ) as well as to Engender the same power as the Cheats can have. That said - =2L='s Subdino tells Us that a fully automated A.C.P. (Anti-Cheat Program) which runs in background not Interfacing with the User, and only reading and deducing it's needed behavior from the "GR" state is entirely possible. Possible Indeed, but It would easily demand more hacking to "GR" than every other Cheat could ever do.

"KB" is currently a Freeware Program and as far as I've been told - Will remain so. "KB" is not open-source and will remain as such so as to avoid the very simple "Analyse-Hack" Method that the Creators of these Cheats use in order to Crack the Countermeasures taken against them. That said - Get "KB" while the going is Hot.
