Description:

A plugin to add basic protection against hackers that use namestealers or players that spam name changes to avoid admins.

Info:

The detection methods that i use are the most common that i have seen used on the servers i have tested it on. This plugin at the time of posting is based on detections in 5 minute increments and the default value of the "sv_namechange_cooldown_seconds" which is 20 seconds. ex, 10 name changes in 5 minutes will result in a ban, or 4 name steals in 5 minutes will result in a ban.
The name change detections are reset every 5 minutes and the name steal detections are reset every 5 minutes with the condition that they haven't changed their name in the last 5 minute period. Any player banned for name stealing is also ip banned. Has support for sourcebans.

Cvars:

sm_anh_version ; Version Cvar.
sm_anh_changes "10" ; Number of name changes before a player is banned. Default is 10
sm_anh_matches "4" ; Number of name matches before a player is banned. Default is 4

Ban Messages:

If the plugin detects name change spamming it will ban with this message,
"[Auto]Detected Namehacking #1-<name changes>-<name matches>"
ex, "[Auto]Detected Namehacking #1-10-0"

If the plugin detects name stealing it will ban with this message,
"[Auto]Detected Namehacking #2-<name changes>-<name matches>"
ex, "[Auto]Detected Namehacking #2-4-4"

Commands:
None

Installation:
Place AntiNameHack.smx into the addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.

Versions:
1.1, Initial release;

Have you considered intergrating it to a smac module?

Thank you for putting in sourcebans compatibility too.. most banning plugins forget this for some reasons

If SourceBans would just use OnBanClient / OnBanIdentity which was added to SourceMod 1.0 by their request this wouldn't be a problem.

so sourcebans requested OnBanClient /OnBanIdentity to be added in a future sourcemod build then just went with something else?

That's what I've heard. If I wasn't lazy, I'd search the AlliedModders board for who originally said it (I think it was psychonic, but it could have been asherkin)

The use of ServerCommand is not recommended. There are a few reason I know of not to use it, but more knowledgeable people on this board can give you specifics; all I know is that if you do not absolutely have to use ServerCommand, I wouldn't.

I was actually commenting on powerlord's post and how sourcebans has had bad integration with many plugins in the past. Most do not want to take the time to include it as a library, or have just done things like set a convar or use servercommand. Dunno what all this fuss about servercommand is. If you send the command by userid, it will go through.... Providing the plugin taking the command is loaded, which is the problem. When you use it, you don't really know, it is assumed. Now obviously it is not as efficient as a native, but... Well sometimes plugins you are working with do not provide natives, its not worth writing natives for them, and its jsut easier to use servercommand? For private use i do not see how it is an issue, for posting up here.. people will download it, servercommands will go out, and nothing will happen. Sad for you.

aw yes this is great. I hate when you mute someone for mic spamming then they turn to chat spam then once you gag them they turn to changing their name repeatedly, like your not going to ban them or something... anyways this does it automatically, which is great!
