My server just got hacked out of nowhere! MASTER SERVER IS ON IT!!!! HELP ME!!!! NOT kidding. He isn't appearing on nodes and he can kick and ban! Help! I want it off! How do i fight it!?
This, dammit. People these days can be so downright silly and reactionary... wait, people were always this way. Nevermind.Hey guys. What if you all stopped panicking? This is getting somewhat ridiculous, considering we're talking about hacking an open-source video game and not the end of the world.

Exactly. They just use alot of spaces to make it look like they're innocent. This is not hacking. This can make it look like someone was kicked, banned, (ect.) If someone uses this, ban them. They just get annoying. Fists invented the "master server" joke, too. And yes, a script file is used to get the ~ to make it look like the "master server" is host.If everyone would stop going "OMGHAAX! BAN THE HAAXOR!" and instead tried to figure out what happened, they would probably realize the "hacking attempt" wasn't actually hacking.
Plenty of times of my server I have see something like this:
<The"h44xorz"*> <Colson>(Inserttexthere*)
*Just an example
Which is obviously a script.
"I AM MASTER SERVER AND IM GONNA HACK YOUR SERVER" and everyone FREAKS! LITTERALLY!
1) i have no clue why they would freak out. when ever someone says to me "im gonna hack you!" i just say back "prove it :)"Why the heck are they freaking out? Really, if it was actual hacking, you should stay calm.
Also, I didn't even bother to try to read the rest of your post.
Nope, kicking an admin from their own server would likely be done by kicking the node in the dedicated server window. AKA: it's a prank, fool.Kicking admin from his server IS hacking.
Exactly like Hypone said I rest my case.You can make it LOOK like someone was kicked, like this:
say "(insert alot of spaces here)Hypone the Mew has been kicked (Go Away)"
Like that. If your admin, you can aslo kick yourself. This should be fixed.
In non-ded servs, consistency failures can still happen to the host, if they enter an illegal command (such as changeteam when allowchangeteam is 0) and their client doesn't catch them (not say commands, hosts and admins are unaffected by mute) they still get kicked like a client. But since the server's operation is embedded into the running client, KABOSH goes the server.

over nine thousand spaces into a say just to trick people. *shot for an over used meme*
