Add automated Hardware ID bans to the bansystem at txadmin!

[steep snow]

As a Server with 120k+ bans, hacker can spoof them selves in 5 mins if u ban them per txadmin.
If u ban the hardware id its more complicated for 12 year old hacker to spoof.

It would help all server owners and would be a game changer!

@steep snow from what I remember, the code is there, but commented out for some reasons in which I forget

[steep snow]

I can tell you it would be a gamechanger

no

[solar musk]

What i remember, is that Tab planed to do it in the next Ban system update

[steep snow]

i think this has to be on number #1 on your work list very important for server owners also for newcomer server which having big problems with hackers

[narrow coral]

We will absolutely have a way to ban player hw tokens

but with our current database and storage method, it's just not viable to do so

if we enabled this feature, big servers would likely be doing like 500mb file writes every 30 seconds or so

that would make the tx memory peak above the stack limit for sure

[narrow coral]

Before rewriting our database, we need to:

1. rewrite most of our core backend (in progress)
2. rewrite our interface
3. maybe even add multiserver support

@steep snow Sidenote: if your server has 140k bans, you are probably among the top servers...
go on #old-bot-spam-21h1-23h2 and do /server to fidn the rank then ping me so I can give you the role and access to the closed channels

[steep snow]

Ok thanks for the answer.

[steep snow]

How long would it take to bring that feature in?

[narrow coral]

A few months =[

like... maybe january

[left mountain]

Can we possibly speed up the process of this, currently bans are really extremely easy to get around.

[dusk hedge]

If it takes until january, it will take until january.

If he finishes early, he finishes early. If he needs more time, he needs more time.

[native ridge]

If you are really struggling with not having that logic built in then build a system for yourself that will save those tokens and check them before the client is allowed to join

[narrow coral]

we cannot speed up the process.

and january was already a very very optimistic timeline
