How to Deal with Hackers in Garena CoD4

If you spot a hacker in your server, here're a few steps on what you should do.

1. type "/status" in the console. Press Shift + tilde "~" to check the hacker's IP. (Criteria: you have to be the host.)
Example:



2. Gather evidence that the person is hacking. /record is a preferable method as the .dm_1 file size is small and you won't get any performance bottleneck whilst recording. For convenience sake, you could macro your keys for /record and /stoprecord:

Code:

/bind (key)  "record"
/bind (key)  "stoprecord"

3. Use the IP address you've obtained earlier to smoke out the hacker's Garena ID.

P.S. Sry Feb, just an example. xD



WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE NOT THE HOST OF A SERVER?
Step 1:
Request the host to type this in his console, this set a password for other people to control the server remotely:

Code:

\rcon_password 123

P.S. Please set a stronger password. Don't set 123.

Step 2:
Open your console and type:

Code:

\rcon login 123

P.S. 123 is the password. It's just an example.

Step 3:
Press shift + ~

Step 4:
Type this in your console again:

Code:

\rcon status

You should then be able to obtain the suspect's IP and hence, trace his/her Garena ID.
