How to catch a quake live hacker part 2

3. Take PunkBuster Screenshots (PBSS). This is most helpful if you suspect somebody is using wallhacks or chams. To take a PBSS, open your console, log into RCON (/rconpassword ), and type "/rcon pb_sv_plist". You'll then see a list of all the players connected to your server. Take note of the player's slot number (the leftmost number). Then type "/rcon pb_sv_getss . To review your PBSSes, go to the /game/pb/svss folder in your server using FTP. Taking good PBSSes will be discussed in the next section.


4. Know what hacks look like. Below is a great example of a multihack that contains all of the most common hacks:

o Here's a brief description of the various hacks seen in this video:
+ Aimbot. An aimbot "snaps" the player's aim from player to player automatically. The aimbot in this video would be referred to as "full snap" because it moves from head to head instantly. A "humanized" bot will move between targets more slowly and inaccurately.
+ Wallhack. A wallhack allows the player to see nearby players through walls. The server doesn't return the position of players on the whole map, so the effectiveness of a wallhack is limited to nearby players.
+ Chams. Chams are any kind of visual that could not be produced by the unchanged game itself. These include player information, enemy spawn timers, and rocket cameras.
