I saw a player get into my server and fly. Even without the privileges. Checked twice but he could fly, run and do everything.
That worried me a lot.
They told me minetest could not be hacked.

If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Some players have modified the client to disable client side collision detection, allowing flying and noclip without privs. Setting 'disable_anticheat = false' may help.

Get their IP address and ban them at the computer's firewall, that's what I do :-) I potentially ban thousands of other people (that most likely aren't playing Minetest) but it hasn't caused a problem yet.

It is hardly difficult to hack the client, any cpp programmer could work it out, and it can not be counted as "malicious": it does no harm. It is not really hacking.
To fly and no-clip without privileges, all you need to do is remove the privilege check on the client that checks for fly privileges and no-clip privileges. The reason this is possible is because the player movement is handled by the client, and not the server. Dont worry, they can not give them self give, ban, admin, etc privs without hacking the server (which is very hard for the average MT player)
disable_anticheat = false will not help at all.
To prevent this, you need a mod or code that:
if these are true, then ban the player.
Malicious is stuff like DDoS'ing the server, or blocking/banning other players, or griefing, or stealling, etc. NOT FLYING

To prevent this, you need a mod or code that:
- detects where the player is (ie: are they 5m away from any blocks)
- not are moving correctly (ie: falling)
- and have no fly privs
if these are true, then ban the player.

As I said, It is really easy to crack since it is open source.

So I think this can disturb me much. In my server players can not fly. What do I do? disable no_clip?
