1. I'm currently making a REAL rust server list!
    by that i mean to detect FAKE servers from the master list and remove them from the list!
    you can currently see an overview of this: http://5.196.0.14/servers.php

    for the moment it's an alpha version,
    but you can already see how many servers are fake.
    Fake servers are the one that have Fake >= 1
    Fake at 0 is a legit server
     
  2. What is a fake server? And whats the purpose of it?
     
  3. http://5.196.0.14/servers.php , order by PLAYERS and see
    you will see servers with 500 players when there are only 0 players ^^[DOUBLEPOST=1411511890][/DOUBLEPOST]i really don't see the use of it as no one are stupid enough to get fucked by it ...
    anyway, i made this so we can see the REAL list without all the parasites.
     
  4. I'm more interested in the data-source you are using to get the information in for curiosity sake.
     
  5. i'm using steam-condenser
    that gets in secure format steam server informations.
    so you get information this way:

    My server:
    Code:
    Array
    (
        [networkVersion] => 17
        [serverName] => EU BATTLEFIELD | Supply&M4Kit | TP | DE_DUST2 ARENA
        [mapName] => rust_island_2013
        [gameDir] => rust
        [gameDesc] => Rust Server
        [appId] => 0
        [numberOfPlayers] => 14
        [maxPlayers] => 100
        [botNumber] => 0
        [dedicated] => l
        [operatingSystem] => w
        [passwordProtected] =>
        [secureServer] => 1
        [gameVersion] => 1069
        [serverPort] => 28015
        [serverId] => 90092056543023111
        [serverTags] => rust,modded,oxide,cp14,mp100,v1069
        [gameId] => 252490
    )
    But when you get a fake server information, that is what you get:

    Code:
    Array
    (
        [networkVersion] => 17
        [serverName] => 4Survival Instinct/website survival-instinct.tk/wipe 24.08
        [mapName] => rust_island_2013
        [gameDir] => rust
        [gameDesc] => Rust Server
        [appId] => 0
        [numberOfPlayers] => 0
        [maxPlayers] => 208
        [botNumber] => 0
        [dedicated] => l
        [operatingSystem] => w
        [passwordProtected] =>
        [secureServer] => 1
        [gameVersion] => 1069
        [serverPort] => 59503
        [serverId] => 90092058611665927
        [serverTags] => rust,modded,cp500,mp1488,v1069
        [gameId] => 252490
    )
    cp500 = player that the master server of rust thinks the server has
    numberOfPlayers= the actual real players on the server.[DOUBLEPOST=1411655974,1411512469][/DOUBLEPOST]it's awesome to see how people are totally stupid
    go on my page and search for this ip: 179.60.146.2
    You will see 3 fake servers with 499 and 1 real server with 50+ players.
    i bet that if you connect on one of the fakes it will reroute you to the real one.[DOUBLEPOST=1411656409][/DOUBLEPOST]and then there is this server:
    http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/108.61.112.128:28016/
    that is also fake, you can't connect to the server
    it says that the number of players is 50
    but oxide says the number of players is 0 (cp = 0)
    and it's probably a cracked server as it doesn't show in the master list.

    damn some people are very crafty !!!

    Code:
    Array ( [networkVersion] => 17 [serverName] => EU Rust |Homes|Tp|3xResources|More [mapName] => rust_island_2013 [gameDir] => rust [gameDesc] => Rust Server [appId] => 0 [numberOfPlayers] => 50 [maxPlayers] => 50 [botNumber] => 0 [dedicated] => l [operatingSystem] => w [passwordProtected] => [secureServer] => 1 [gameVersion] => 1069 [serverPort] => 28016 [serverId] => 90091881566184454 [serverTags] => rust,modded,oxide,cp0,mp50,v1069 [gameId] => 252490 )

  6. Why not using this to make something a bit more... lets say useful or interesting :p
    You could do some statistics like whats the average player count overall at different times, server count for each country/mod/OS/version, most used tags used in server names
     
  7. yeah i guess it could be ^^

    just found out that playrust.ru is a rust server that makes everything payable, you have to BUY to play on this server XD[DOUBLEPOST=1411660368][/DOUBLEPOST]BEARZ.RU :: EVOLUTION OF NAKED GUYS #1

    89.108.107.72:28015

    Players: 85

    has about 35 FAKE servers bound to it (all with 250+ players)

    damn those guys are smart, and DAMN players are dumb --'[DOUBLEPOST=1411660447][/DOUBLEPOST]going to make a new thing is Fake:
    i'll add a W, W will means like Warning, warning this server has X fake servers bound to it!
    and i will try to dissuade people from going on those servers[DOUBLEPOST=1411661472][/DOUBLEPOST][​IMG]

  8. that's "Rick" or now "BEARZRU" that made the voter plugin haha
     
  9. Its really sad to say but blocking russian IPs is a pretty viable anti cheat approach. I always wondered what russians find so attractive in cheating and such things
     
  10. Russians have always been a problem with multiplayer gaming.
     
  11. Lol really? Bah you should thank him, 40fakes servers that spamm your rust server list are his!!!
     
  12. to even do that makes me wonder.

    also realized that all the servers with 18.09 in it are fake.
