The fight against cheaters

It I here that recalled. 2016-05-14 i spoke with the player. He tried to do some hack with a sign and a button.

The player was kicked from the server. Perhaps the sponge has a base defense?
[04:21:57] [Server thread/INFO]: Assas1n lost connection: You have been kicked for attempting to perform a sign command exploit. [04:21:57] [Server thread/INFO]: Assas1n left the game [04:21:57] [Server thread/WARN]: handleDisconnection() called twice

He then I gave a link, but I never bothered to look.
[04:30:54] [Server thread/INFO]: [Новичок] Assas1n: www.wurst-client.tk/download/

This is the reaction of the server to high jumps.
[04:32:17] [Server thread/WARN]: Assas1n moved wrongly!

It will be endless fight. In any case, the sponge is in need of a plugin of this kind. Good luck to you!

Yes, Sponge has a few exploit patches, see here: https://docs.spongepowered.org/master/en/server/management/exploit-patches.html

  • Sign command exploit where a client could run a command such as ‘op’
  • Client could force the server to make the user respawn invisible
  • Client could set an itemstack’s display name and cause it to exceed the character limit

These patches are primarily for stopping exploits (things like auto-op, item dupe) but don’t go as far as detecting suspicious behaviour.
I think Sponge also toughened the “moved wrongly” and flying checks

Thank you! I missed it. Good to know.
