Anti Client Modding Ideas

Hi,

I am not certain if this is feasible with a bukkit server plugin... but would it be possible to get the clients minecraft.jar and compare the md5 to the official md5 jar?

You would be able to prevent the joining of nodus clients and the such if it is at all possible...

Anyone know?

 

I'm not certain, but I don't think you can retrieve a client's md5 from the packets they send. Again I have no idea, better to get someone else's opinion.

 

No. You can't trust the client - it can send anything it wants.

Nodus would simply replace the code that looks like this:

Code:java

String clientmd5tosendtoserver = Something.getMd5();

With this:

Code:java

String clientmd5tosendtoserver = "whatever md5 the server is checking against";

Along with the fact it's not possible to get it anyways.

 

No. you cannot stop nodus client from joining your server. <- Period

 

If it qwas possible, i would have 20% of the players i have now.
You need to accept it, about the half of the minecraft community has nodus!

 

87.5% of statistics are made up.

 

Got it, thanks everyone for clearing that up!

And i do not believe in that statistic 76.5% of the time.

 

They are made up, but i did a survey where i asked this:
Nodus is now allowed! We will do a contest of who is best at using nodus!

80% of my players admitted they had nodus.

 

Ok, but that's your server. How can you possible account for the entire Minecraft community based on statistics from one server?

 

A survey of 60 or less people in a community of millions does not provide accurate statistics.

 

my server soon hit 4 years. I do this thing every 4 weeks, on everyone who hasnt done it before.
Thats about 60000 (six thousand) unique players.

 

And 450,000 new Minecraft accounts were sold just on Christmas day.

Anyways, this thread has been solved, and we're probably spamming poor DanielRH with alerts, so I'll refrain from posting now.

 

Thank you for correccting me.
Also, i dont seem to get alerts when someone reply to my threads :I
And yeah, but it is highly likely a lot of the multiplayer community uses nodus. That was my point.
