Solved Rust server hacked?

Discussion in 'Rust Discussion' started by johnsonjulian38, Dec 23, 2016.

  1. I'm fairly new to hosting a rust server.

    I've had a server up for a couple weeks now, and I usually restart it once a night or so, when no one is active.

    There have been a couple of instances where the server will be 'up' but cannot be connected to.

    So I check the console to see what has gone on, and there have been two times, where I see that the user has a steamid listed under the 'owner' column. But there is nothing else in the console that says they have a higher auth level.

    The first instance I checked the steamid, I found a user that has been VAC banned once 4oo something days ago.

    Tonight, when checking this new steamid, there is a profile that has not been created yet. And for some reason, under the "owner" column for this steam account, there is a completely different steamid listed under it.

    Code:

    And for some reason in this instance, the rcon pulled the servers status like 4 times in 2 seconds.

    I'm very new to this, like I said.
    The thing is, when I'm logged in, I don't even have my steamid posted under owner.

    I would appreciate it if someone could explain what is 'actually' going on.

    The "status" command is used by your RCON client to get player counts and such, which is perfectly normal.
     
  3. So there's nothing else going on? With the owner column displaying a different steamid than the user 'providewater' up top?
    I could definitely just be overreacting.

    Could be some sort of family sharing, but I thought that was blocked in Rust.
     
  5. Thank you. That makes more sense than what I thought. So the "owner" is just the steam account holder for the other account. I appreciate it.
