    Hey,

    So I was wondering how the client handles packets and if it was possible to send fake packets from the server to the client. For example, sending a grounditem packet to the client, where there isn't an actual grounditem on the server (visible)

    You could send the ground item packet without registering the ground item in the server, so when a player attempts to pick it up, it wont do anything.

    So to add on to that, make sure that any way you get ground items you register them, and where you pick it up make sure its a valid registered item. This would prevent any "fake" packets from being picked up or interacted with in any way.

    Yes, it's an issue most 317s don't properly protect themselves against, one of the easiest methods to fuck with a server.

    Thanks. Yeah we already have checks in place, but I was thinking of using this as a bot detection system. If I can send a ground item packet to the client when it isn't visible for normal players, if a player reacts to it they must be a bot..

    players will react to any type of drop, this is certainly not a viable way of detecting "bots"

    What if the bot is not scripted to pickup that specific item?
