Ban Detector - Ban Hackers before they Login!

Ban Detector

What it does:

Ban detector is a very simple and easy to use resource that works to lower the amount of hackers found on your server by around 45%. Ban Detector works by using the Fishbans API to detect preexisting bans on other servers. Every time a player tries to log onto the server, their Fishbans statistics are checked and if they are found to have more preexisting bans than the configurable allotment, the player in question will be given a permanent ban with a configurable ban message.

This plugin is effective in banning players who have a previous reputation and have been banned on other minecraft servers for hacking. Logically speaking, players who are found to have been banned multiple times for hacking are more likely to hack on your server as well. By tracing the problem back to its source, you can accurately ban hackers using Ban Detector, before they even get the opportunity to join your server. By using Ban Detector, it is likely that less staff would be needed to patrol the server and keep it hacker free, as there will automatically be less hackers.

To ensure that you aren't banning players that may not deserve the ban, you are able to configure the amount of bans on Fishbans, that it takes for them to be banned while attempting to login on your server.

You can configure the ban message to explain to the player why exactly they were banned before getting the chance to play on the server.

Ban Detector is one step closer towards ensuring a "hacker-free" and safe minecraft server.

Price: $10! I will be selling multiple copies of this plugin to whomever is interested.

Note: The Fishbans API doesn't detect every ban ever. It only gets its information from other ban checker sites, such as MCBans, Glizer, MineBans and over four others. As a result, if a player uses hacks often, they will typically have 2-3 bans on fishbans. I find that setting a ban number such as 2-3 works pretty well.

Thanks blaze![DOUBLEPOST=1418103954,1418100250][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry I keep posting but that was my 100th message!^

A server called OPCraft has something like this, it removes your items in your inventory if you have hacks and in your player vault.

This doesn't necessarily know if a player has hacks. It assumes that a player has hacks based in their previous minecraft repuation and bans them from the server.

Well I'd rather know than assume.

It's a nice idea, but there are many flaws that can come with this. What if something bugs out and bans an innocent player?

What if the player was banned on a random server for no reason?

Maybe they were banned for breaking the rules on another player but not mine?


I would use it, but it's too risky.[DOUBLEPOST=1418127882,1418127835][/DOUBLEPOST]Plus I've been banned on a lot of servers for no reason... and I mean a lot.

There are precautions for this. You can set the strictness so it can be more accurate by increasing the ban number before banning a player. Also, you can set the ban message for the plugin so you can make it tell players to appeal. I figure that if somebody has the time to appeal on a server they haven't played then they likely won't hack again.

I have a feeling that if someone tried coming onto my server and it was their first time, and they were banned straight away. They would probably not come back.

This plugin is very accurate in limiting people who hack often from playing a server. It shouldn't be giving false positives, and should only stop about 1 in 50 players, which is about 1 out of every 2 or 3 hackers. Unless somebody was wrongly banned on like 10 servers or more, then they wouldn't get caught by this thing.

I've tested this and it works very well and I don't have many staff on my server as a result

 

[arreyazat]

Did you make this?

 

[WeeSkilz]

Probably inaccurate, you would lose more players than it's worth, and Fishbans, I've never heard of, or no one I know has ever used it. Not worth imo.

I've used Fishbans before, it works very well.

The precautions about having pointless bans are unwarranted as if a server does not stick to the rules of the ban tracker they are using, their bans don't count on the system.

Overall it's an accurate system. @Nighterblade, just because you don't know what fishbans is doesn't mean that it isn't good. It's actually the best and most extensive ban database for minecraft, which is why my plugin works great.

Did you make this?

Yes

 

[maxben34]

Okie, okie.

Yup

 

[maxben34]

What if the player logs in with a "fresh" / unused alt? (Only been on your server, nit banned on any for hacks)? Does it work if that happens?

No, but if you read the whole thing it isn't meant to stop people with clean records. This is why it's reduces hackers by 45% and not 75%

 

[God]

Does it just downright ban them or can it instead notify staff or log their username in a file as a "suspicious" player?

I was going to implement that second option but I found that the player in question almost always was a hacker so there isn't much of a point.

 

[maxben34]

Sounds like a great plugin and very useful! I vouch for this guy as well![DOUBLEPOST=1418185836,1418185374][/DOUBLEPOST]You have any more plugins maxben34 ? If so please DM me I might want to purchase!

Depends on what you're looking for. I have made a bunch of things in the past so PM me and I'll let you know. If I don't have it and you want me to make it, we can discuss pricing as well.
