PunksBusted.com The internet's largest anti-cheat and most popular, PunkBuster™ support website, has officially gone live with the new Auto-Master Ban List System (Auto-MBL), for game server administrators. This is a fully automated, secure, real time spooling of the PunkBuster logs directly from your server to the master database. It stops cheaters in their tracks across a large number of game servers.

[edit]

What Does this mean?

  • Cheaters detected by the Punk Buster software from our admin member servers, are collected, sorted and updated to the Master Ban List (MBL) automatically.
  • Your server's ban list is automatically updated and kept current with our automated download feature at a time and period of your choosing. A cheater caught today will not be playing within hours on all servers using the MBL, Period!
  • The Auto-MBL FTP updating software is available for both Windows and Linux-based servers. (Or update manually, if the auto-updating feature is not possible with your setup).
  • Screen shot MD5 checksums and timestamps are automatically stored in our repository, so that there will never again be a doubt as to the authenticity of a PB screen shot. It eliminates accusations of fake screen shots. PunksBusted's repository will verify it's integrity without question.

Any admin is free to manually retrieve the MBL from the PunksBusted web site. All server admins and leagues are encouraged to use the MBL, whether they are contributing members or not.

Please take some time to read more about this major step forward and explore the PunksBusted web site. Note the assistance we offer to admins to keep their servers running smoothly with Punk Buster and as cheat free as possible.

PunksBusted Auto-MBL System:


PunksBusted currently supports the following games:

A spokesperson from PunksBusted talks a little about this new system and PunksBusted.

Tony Ray of Even Balance included the ability of the flagship product PunkBuster to stream the PB logs to a remote server location. This streaming repository system, is a very powerful tool to curb online cheaters.

A dedicated team on the staff at PunksBusted has been working hard from the beginning, with Even Balance, preparing this new feature. They have now completed and tested the Master Repository server backend and updating software portion to compliment it. This new system offers a secure accurate method of keeping cheaters out of your servers, by combining your log output with many hundreds and soon to be thousands of game servers all over the world specifically for the games you run on your servers.

It allows the PunksBusted Repository server, to collect the PB cheat detections in real time, as they happen, from all servers that sign on with us. Within hours, the cheater won't be playing on any server using the Auto-MBL. All it takes is a registered admin account with us and few lines added to your PB configuration to contribute.

To take full advantage of the system, a specialized program was developed for your game server to ftp download from the MBL directly to your servers ban list, at pre-scheduled times that you choose.

As an alternative, you don't have to be a contributing admin member to copy and use the MBL manually from our web site. However the web based MBL will be days old as compared the hourly updated Auto-MBL system. We encourage server admins to join the already growing list of 4500 strong registered admin members and over 33,200 regular members on our site. All server admins are offered the MBL as a free service to the gaming communities that use Even Balance's ground breaking Punk Buster software.

I encourage you to join us and stop the punks that ruin the games you play and that abuse the privilege of being on your server. The server that you admin with your sweat, money and contributes to online gaming. It usually only takes minutes to setup.
