Re: Convert STEAMID to Steam Community ID
That administration panel looks pretty impressive. I like the idea of automatically banning previously banned players using a different account. Do you use set_user_info(), IP address or another method?

1) Get all IPs registered for the account, search for all steam-ids associated with that IP. 2) Ban all IDs associated with that IP. Check all IPs for each account banned for additional accounts, repeating the process. This trees out and finds and removes all associated accounts in a recursive process. We don't only run this process on accounts that have been banned though. If an account that was previously banned connects to the server we log the "denied" connection and save the IP. We then run that IP through the process above and nuke an previously undected new accounts of the "LLama". But wait, there's more! If an unbanned account connects to the server we check the IP of that account against the IPs of all previously banned accounts. If that player is playing from the same IP that a previously banned account has, they're immediately banned as well. We don't like Llamas. We don't like it when they return. I also hate "cafe" accounts, we have more idiots play from steam cafes then I care to count. Nothing like total inaccountability to make someone as asshat in a server. This pretty much eliminates them. Scuzzy |
Re: Convert STEAMID to Steam Community ID
And also eliminates anyone with a dynamic IP address on the same ISP as "the banned"?

1) They both have to have the same ISP 2) They have to have Dynamic IPS. 3) One has to be banned. 4) The second has to get that bad IP. 5) They have to both play Steam Games, either TFC/FF/TF2 (Out of the hundreds of thousands of players) 6) They both have to choose our server (out of the 4000+ available in North America alone) Scuzzy |
Re: Convert STEAMID to Steam Community ID
1) "big popular" ISPs are often filling multiple slots on any server
2) If they are on the same ISP, chances are they are both on dynamic addressing 3) A ban increases the chance your system will fail :p 4) Each ISP will have its own way of doing things, some rotate IP addresses automatically so the chances could be quite high 5) True, but hundreds of thousands of players only increases the chance your system will fail 6) If the ISP has a good route to your server, chances are people from the same ISP will join due to the lower pings Plus, you will not be able to identify "false bans" as you could not have a method to verify the identity of the people banned. If we all had static IP addresses, this system would be great - but most domestic connections have a dynamic IP address. If you have lots of bans due to your IP tracking, then personally I would be a bit worried about who I'm banning :D Also, you might want to keep in mind that most kids with a cafe account probably ritually change their IP address to avoid IP bans & mask their identity. If I were in your place, I would only track multiple bans from the same IP address. Once an address has reached a pre-set limit only then would I wipe out the IP. Its far from perfect though, and the same problems still apply - just the chances of banning the wrong people are less due to the "ban limit" buffer. I'm just picking holes anyway, don't mind me - I'm a system whore :] |

74921 had 9 IPs or lessIt may untentionally ban one or two people out of a few hundred thousand, but I think the margin for error is pretty small. We've also received 0 complaints that a ban was incorrect because of this reason, and we get unban requests every day. We're more willing to crack a few eggs then deal with Llamas over and over again. There are plenty of good servers to play on, being limited away from ours doesn't really hurt anyone. Scuzzy |

Re: Convert STEAMID to Steam Community ID
In the first posts of this topic i readed it would be possible to get the steamcommunity information from every desired steamID. If this is correct it would be the plugin or software i need because the player with STEAMID *********** discovered my rcon password due unknown reason. The same IP also hacked my website. To prevent this in the future i've to fix the leak and need to know how he did it. Therefor i need all the info i can get about the the STEAMID **********.
If possible i hope someone can help me to get more information about STEAMID ************. |
Re: Convert STEAMID to Steam Community ID
BTW, for anyone interested in doing this strictly in mySQL, like a trigger to calculate this field when you create a player record... I found some issues getting mySQL to actually ADD the numbers together. I finally came up with this:

Re: Convert STEAMID to Steam Community ID
You are awesome Scuzzy! This is really the steamcommunity ID i was looking for and now i can get in touch witch the person that broke into my server. I've only one more question Scuzzy. Would it be possible that you remove the steamid out of my quoted reply because i don't want that this hacker know i'm looking for him. If you remove it i will remove it from my post to, if you don't want to remove it's fine to because you helped me already so much!
