			<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if I could inquire about some information. I know <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">SourceMod</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">MetaMod</span> in and out. I have been using the DAF plugin in my servers for years now, and it works perfectly. However, recently I switched from Windows 10 Pro to macOS due to the purchase of my MacBook Pro. So I was wondering if, similar to SM and MM, a Dos Attack Fix plugin was ever designed for Mac or Linux. The problem I am having is the .dll files won't work on a macOS system. Only Windows uses <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">.dll files</span>. Instead, macOS uses <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">.dylib files</span>. The DAF plugin uses one .dll file, which is located in the following place;<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">- addons &gt; daf &gt; bin &gt; dosattackfix.dll</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Obviously, this plugin also comes with a <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">.so</span> file, which is for <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Linux</span> systems. Does anyone know if <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">.dylib</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">.so</span> files are interchangeable?<br />
<br />
Additionally, if anyone ever needs help with Sourcemod, Metamod, the installation of (DAF) Dos Attack Fix, or any other plugin, you are all welcome to reach out to me either on here or Discord, <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">N.I.K. #1327</span>.

			<description><![CDATA[My name is Tycoon. My steam account is eKsPhantom. My real name is Neil Ball and I am 14 years of age. This thread in SourceOP is my resolve, and will answer any questions related to my account being hacked. If you know me at all or have a connection to this incident, please read through.<br />
My account: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/id/TycoonONSTEAM" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://steamcommunity.com/id/TycoonONSTEAM</a><br />
<br />
Let's start off simple. One day, one of my close friends sends me a link. I know that he wasn't in control of his account when he sent this link because I send the same link to my friends list as well after being hacked. The link itself was to a Youtube video involving Team Fortress 2. The video contained a download to a <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">fake hat, key, unusual, or earbuds generator</span>. I did not intent to use it for myself, but more so to report it to Valve if it was legitimate. In my idiocy, I downloaded the file and placed it in my Steam folder, activating it. I will not post the link to that video.<br />
<br />
Immediately I was kicked from my account. When I tried to relog in, I was getting a message my account was already being accessed. After panicking and trying multiple times to get in, the message changed. Before, I was getting my password right, but the account was full. Now, my password was completely wrong. Sensibly, I panicked some more.<br />
<br />
I went onto my second account. I thought it would come in handy for situations like this. I went on my second account to message my main.<br />
My second account was "Thecaptainguy 2312" (or X3NOG34RS for Steam.)<br />
My account: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061584274" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061584274</a><br />
<br />
Not only was my password changed by the hacker, but my email too. Therefore, I couldn't recover my account- but I could see HIS email.<br />
<br />
I got into a conversation with the person on my account at the time. Nothing relevant was said except involving Uber Fluttershy. (Will be explained later on). Eventually, he just agreed to give my account back for nothing. After he had given me the password for the account that he had set, "lepper", I logged in, and then tried to change it but I couldn't, my email still wasn't set back and I couldn't do it without the email's password. I was kicked off of the account again, and when I could get back on, my email was fixed. The hacker legitimately returned my account. I managed to take a screenshot displaying his email though.<br />
The hacker's email: <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">kruger@o2.pl</span><br />
<img src="http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8291/scamemail.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: scamemail.png]" class="mycode_img img-responsive" /><br />
<br />
Moving on, now that I had my account back, I had A LOT of stuff to clean up. While he had control of my account, he changed my 3 profile links to his video's link. He contacted all of the people in my friends list I had only and send them the video link. And what really screwed everything up...<br />
<br />
Uber Fluttershy. <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198051472163" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198051472163</a><br />
Why? Well, I wondered the exact same too. He had a grudge against me?<br />
<br />
Appearently, Uber Fluttershy and the hacker were working together. This is my proof: While speaking with the hacker from my second account (Thecaptainguy (ME) to SMPLY.Tycoon (The hacker)), I asked him why he hacked me? Well, see for yourself why.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/946/hack1u.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: hack1u.png]" class="mycode_img img-responsive" /><br />
<br />
The hacker copy and pasted, I assume, a message Uber Fluttershy had send to him. Uber Fluttershy asked that this hacker, of course, hack me and take my stuff, giving it to Fluttershy. <br />
<br />
Instantly I thought Fluttershy was working with him and had me hacked because he had a grudge against me. I know this also because I ripped fluttershy off once. I bought Uncraftable sneaking spats from him for a key, and resold it for 2 keys. He was angry when he found out. <br />
<br />
Logically, this seemed to me, at the time why Fluttershy would have me hacked. It only happened very recently too. Later, I was told personally by Uber Fluttershy that he 'reported me for using a hat generator.' This makes sense because when the hacker had my account, just like when he had my close friends account, he send the Youtube scam link to everyone on my friends list. Uber Fluttershy had a legitimate reason to report me, and without this topic being up sooner, it would certainly be unknown and unproved I was actually hacked at the time. Eventually, as events played on, I discovered Fluttershy was actually innocent. <br />
<br />
Honestly, I can't fully understand whether this was a joke or revenge for a grudge by Uber Fluttershy, but he is INNOCENT. None of my items from my account were taken or traded at all. Infact, Uber gave me a Soldier's stash hat to make up for this afterwards too. I did trade my items, however. Out of precaution, I traded my entire backpack to my best friend, Fordz, and gave him a codeword that I had to tell him if I wanted him to give my Backpack returned. To this moment I have my backpack contents returned and everything has cooled down now.<br />
<br />
Instead, I was informed that Uber Fluttershy DIDN'T actually report me. He reported another guy for hacking me. I believe his name was Sabior, or something like that, but I couldn't find him afterwards. Therefore, let this thread not just be a resolve or a report, but a ban appeal if I was actually reported and supposed to be banned for sending a malicious link to my friends list and (I was told) I also posted it as an announcement in my Brony group.<br />
<br />
Finally, all I want to say is that you do not ban myself or Uber Fluttershy. This isn't <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">really</span> considered a report or anything like that. I just have a ton of people wondering what the hell happened to me and why I sent them a malicious link. I hope this clears things up. Reply or add me if you've got another question and I'll try to answer it.. Thanks, Tycoon.]]></description>

After panicking and trying multiple times to get in, the message changed. Before, I was getting my password right, but the account was full. Now, my password was completely wrong. Sensibly, I panicked some more.<br />
<br />
I went onto my second account. I thought it would come in handy for situations like this. I went on my second account to message my main.<br />
My second account was "Thecaptainguy 2312" (or X3NOG34RS for Steam.)<br />
My account: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061584274" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198061584274</a><br />
<br />
Not only was my password changed by the hacker, but my email too. Therefore, I couldn't recover my account- but I could see HIS email.<br />
<br />
I got into a conversation with the person on my account at the time. Nothing relevant was said except involving Uber Fluttershy. (Will be explained later on). Eventually, he just agreed to give my account back for nothing. After he had given me the password for the account that he had set, "lepper", I logged in, and then tried to change it but I couldn't, my email still wasn't set back and I couldn't do it without the email's password. I was kicked off of the account again, and when I could get back on, my email was fixed. The hacker legitimately returned my account. I managed to take a screenshot displaying his email though.<br />
The hacker's email: <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">kruger@o2.pl</span><br />
<img src="http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/8291/scamemail.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: scamemail.png]" class="mycode_img img-responsive" /><br />
<br />
Moving on, now that I had my account back, I had A LOT of stuff to clean up. While he had control of my account, he changed my 3 profile links to his video's link. He contacted all of the people in my friends list I had only and send them the video link. And what really screwed everything up...<br />
<br />
Uber Fluttershy. <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198051472163" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198051472163</a><br />
Why? Well, I wondered the exact same too. He had a grudge against me?<br />
<br />
Appearently, Uber Fluttershy and the hacker were working together. This is my proof: While speaking with the hacker from my second account (Thecaptainguy (ME) to SMPLY.Tycoon (The hacker)), I asked him why he hacked me? Well, see for yourself why.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/946/hack1u.png" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: hack1u.png]" class="mycode_img img-responsive" /><br />
<br />
The hacker copy and pasted, I assume, a message Uber Fluttershy had send to him. Uber Fluttershy asked that this hacker, of course, hack me and take my stuff, giving it to Fluttershy. <br />
<br />
Instantly I thought Fluttershy was working with him and had me hacked because he had a grudge against me. I know this also because I ripped fluttershy off once. I bought Uncraftable sneaking spats from him for a key, and resold it for 2 keys. He was angry when he found out. <br />
<br />
Logically, this seemed to me, at the time why Fluttershy would have me hacked. It only happened very recently too. Later, I was told personally by Uber Fluttershy that he 'reported me for using a hat generator.' This makes sense because when the hacker had my account, just like when he had my close friends account, he send the Youtube scam link to everyone on my friends list. Uber Fluttershy had a legitimate reason to report me, and without this topic being up sooner, it would certainly be unknown and unproved I was actually hacked at the time. Eventually, as events played on, I discovered Fluttershy was actually innocent. <br />
<br />
Honestly, I can't fully understand whether this was a joke or revenge for a grudge by Uber Fluttershy, but he is INNOCENT. None of my items from my account were taken or traded at all. Infact, Uber gave me a Soldier's stash hat to make up for this afterwards too. I did trade my items, however. Out of precaution, I traded my entire backpack to my best friend, Fordz, and gave him a codeword that I had to tell him if I wanted him to give my Backpack returned. To this moment I have my backpack contents returned and everything has cooled down now.<br />
<br />
Instead, I was informed that Uber Fluttershy DIDN'T actually report me. He reported another guy for hacking me. I believe his name was Sabior, or something like that, but I couldn't find him afterwards. Therefore, let this thread not just be a resolve or a report, but a ban appeal if I was actually reported and supposed to be banned for sending a malicious link to my friends list and (I was told) I also posted it as an announcement in my Brony group.<br />
<br />
Finally, all I want to say is that you do not ban myself or Uber Fluttershy. This isn't <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">really</span> considered a report or anything like that. I just have a ton of people wondering what the hell happened to me and why I sent them a malicious link. I hope this clears things up. Reply or add me if you've got another question and I'll try to answer it.. Thanks, Tycoon.]]></content:encoded>
