Auto-Hacking/Auto completing tracks

I think there is something wrong with FRHD. A couple of people are like auto-completing tracks or something and beating my times in tracks I'm on the leaderboard for. I have like 1000 messages in my notifications:

However, their times don't appear on the leaderboard. One person is somehow already on over 80k points, me_again_radiumrc

Some other guy has also started doing this:

Can someone please explain to me what is going on? Am I missing something? Is someone hacking or auto cheating? Is the game broken? Please lighten this subject for me as this seems very awkward and people have sent friend requests to them and accepted. This is all very weird and disturbing to me.

 

Hacking brotha

 

happening to me too, my notifs are exploding as well


also they're showing up on the points leaderboard too, currently in 6th and 12th

 

also, radiumrc found this:

 

Hmmmm

 

Totoca12 Eryp pls delete these kids from the points leaderboard

 

They are not legit, they are doing the same auto-hack completion that has happened in the past.

 

Ngl, it's pretty foolish to do for an old bike game like this. You get no achievement lmfao. Imo, they're just seeking attention because they don't care what they're doing. As what Sham said, the auto-hack completion is the same as before (actually seen by other players on some tracks). And because this game is practically DEAD in game development, I wouldn't see anything soon other than removing ghosts from the LB (Ngl, If a points system was implemented for placement on a LB, that'd be interesting).

 

Seems dumb that they wouldn't be afraid of a ban, yet an ip ban would probably work. I thought that's what they used for KingTrump (or whatever his name was), and the 602 guy
It is extremely dumb to auto hack lb and points on this game, and it's not because I care about it too much or anything, it's just stupid when people try so hard to do something that is not really worth it in the first place, instead of legitimately trying.. -_-
Just like the tas drama, when people who don't put in any effort ruin it for those who tried, it's just pretty annoying

 

I remember that user their name was trumpneverdies

 

Agreed

 

yes, an ip ban would probably work, but rrc mentioned that they could just use a vpn


but seriously if you go as far as to make a mail server and use vpns for an online bike simulator then you should seriously reconsider your life choices lmao

 

setting up a mail server is just getting easier i think. the only thing standing in the way is spam, as many people are making white lists of where emails may come from. If your email address is “me@mywebsite.com”, your email will not go to a gmail person’s inbox as gmail will flag it as spam and the person will probably never see it. If you use gmail, and send the email to an AOL person, they will see it because AOL trusts the “gmail.com” domain. Now, this is still bad because even if you can’t send email, you can still create addresses. I have an email server, but I can’t use it since no one will get my mail. That’s why I use it as a receiving address only, so people can send me whatever emails they want without seeing my “real” address. And the other thing I use my server for is to create multiple accounts on aternos.org. That is the only other thing though. Of course creating an address to use for FRHD would be easy as hell. As long as you have a device to run the server on. But with cloud computing and whatnot, yo can just pay for your server to run in the cloud. Now I can spin up a server on the interweb, install mail server software, and create an address. Next step, create an account on a website, verify the email with any old email client that can see the inbox, and then shut down the email server and stop paying, because the website doesn’t need to have the server running all the time. Now, we could create a ton of addresses and make a ton of accounts all at once in about a day, and then turn off the servers again. That costed about, idk, $10. (I really don’t know I’ve never payed for cloud computing I just buy the hardware myself and run it in my house for free). So, $10 for 100 addresses and who know how many accounts since each address has multiple web accounts probably. Now you are immune to bans. But, what about IP bans? Simple. Use your server as a VPN. Install OpenVPN, connect to it through your computer, boom you are somewhere else in the world. Of course, this only works with cloud computing, physical hardware uses the same internet wire as you. They both are in the same house, so it would be useless to do that; your IP would not change. Note that your server would be running every time you use the website, to avoid the IP ban on your computer. Another way is to only login when you are at a friends house, or a coffee shop. And switch it up a lot so that nobody IP bans any of those places because they don’t know which one you are actually in. That’s free if your friend gives you their wifi password, so maybe better than a VPN. Okay, so you got IP banned on your server and your fav coffee shop and your friends house, what do you do now? Nothing, you lost, you are banned, there is no outrunning it, for however long. You spent way too much money setting up all this just to troll everyone on your favorite community of gamers. And this is why there is too much hacking on FRHD, it is just too easy to pay a few bucks and get yourself outfitted as an internet globetrotter that strategically avoids bans and somehow is able to destroy the fun for everyone. If you are one of these people, stop. We hate you. Hacking is bad, no matter how cool it may look to your friends, people are losing money everyday due to hacking. It’s been in the news, and now it’s in your head. Get it out. And, if you’re into computers and stuff, explore something that’s not hacking, I’m sure you will have fun anyway.


Well, that’s it for this month’s forum post. Successfully learning how to defeat ban. Please stop hacking, it is bad. Do not actually do any of this you are wasting your time. Get real friends and go on vacation somewhere, it will be better than this, trust me. Bye.

 

All of them are ShamatoZ's alts i think

 

why do you think that?

 

...why? do you have any proof or reasoning for that?

 

I can only guess the whole 50k points in a month thing, so they might assume I cheated those. If it's not that then I don't see anything else, as I've never done something like this ever.

 

I think, i'm not sure

 

That's a pretty heavy accusation for no proof at all.

 

I was just curious as to why you think that, since I can only think of that one reason that I said earlier
