	~~{{Rewriting~~\|~~User:Opt/Drafts/Filtering}}~~		'''Filtering''' is the act of automatically restricting a player's access to the server based on rules. For example, one may decide to create a [[Wikipedia:IP_address\|IP address]] filter rule to restrict a player, even if they were to change their username.

	~~'''Filtering'''~~ is ~~the act of restricting the access of a certain player~~ to ~~the Kaboom server~~.		Depending on the enabled enforcement types and implementation quality, filter activation can result in server lag and as such it is recommended to use efficient [[Kick exploits\|kick exploit]] where possible or no kick exploits at all, especially when filtering spambots.

	~~Filters are created by using bots that support it~~ and ~~are similar to how bans work on regular servers as they both restrict~~ the ~~access to their respective servers. These filters are typically used on players that bot owners dislike or are considered as harmful, such as spammers, people who run kill @e repeatedly,~~ or ~~players who are generally a nuisance~~.		Filtering is extremely useful when the server is spambotted and the spambots contain predictable characteristics which can be expressed in one or more rule type.

	=~~=Methods of Filtering=~~=		=Rules=

	~~===iControlU===~~		Filtering based on arbitrary strings, like chat messages or commands, is commonly implemented via versatile [[Wikipedia:Regular expression\|regular expressions]].
	~~iControlU is a plugin~~ on Kaboom that allows for another player to "control" a player by taking over the player's movement, chat, and command access for themselves. Bots use this method by creating another bot which then controls the player, ~~resulting in the player losing the ability to~~ chat~~, move and run~~ commands~~. However~~, ~~this method~~ is ~~less frequently used nowadays due to it creating spam in the chat and requiring proxies to filter more than 4 players at a time~~.

	===~~Kick Exploits~~===		==IP address==
	~~A kick exploit is an exploit that allows for a player to be disconnected from the server without using the <code>/kick</code> command, which is currently blocked on the server.~~

	~~====Vanilla Kick Exploits====~~		IP address rules are commonly used in lieu of exact username filters as evasion requires the use of [[Wikipedia:Proxy_server\|proxies]] (often provided by VPN services).
	~~Vanilla kick exploits work by forcing~~ the ~~server to send a large amount~~ of ~~data to the client, causing the server to disconnect the player as a result~~.

	~~====ViaVersion Kick Exploits====~~		Due to most clones using [[IP masking]], it is impossible to filter [[Wikipedia:Subnet\|subnets]] or [[Wikipedia:Autonomous system (Internet)\|ASNs]] as one would expect from a [[Wikipedia:Firewall_(computing)\|firewall]].
	~~ViaVersion kick exploits work by abusing a bug in the ViaVersion plugin~~ to ~~disconnect the player. These exploits only work on players who are on~~ a ~~different version than the server~~.

	===~~Crash Exploits~~===		==Usernames==
	~~A crash exploit is an exploit that causes a player's client to crash. These exploits can be mitigated or blocked by a mod since they are client sided.~~

	~~====Translate Crash Exploits====~~		Username filter rules are often the first to be implemented when a bot or client developer is implementing a filter system. Due to most Kaboom clones being offline mode, it is also the easiest to bypass as players can just join under a different username.
	~~Translate crash exploits work by abusing Minecraft's translation key feature by using it~~ to ~~recursively duplicate~~ a ~~string several times and then attempting~~ to ~~display~~ it~~. This leads to~~ the ~~target crashing due~~ to ~~memory exhaustion~~.

	~~====Particle Crash Exploits====~~		However, in combination with regular expressions, username filters can be used to mitigate spambots that use fixed username lengths or a predictable username format. Luckily, most easily available or paid spambot services use a predictable username format, so this remains one of the most important filter types to implement.
	~~Particle crash exploits work by forcing the client to render a huge amount of laggy particles~~, ~~which~~ can be ~~done by using area effect clouds. This method is not frequently~~ used ~~due~~ to the ~~risk of crashing unintended players~~.

	===~~Gamemode Restrictions~~===		==Commands==
	~~Gamemode restrictions do not cause the player to be disconnected from the server, but instead reduces the player's enjoyment by forcing the player into adventure or spectator mode repeatedly.~~

	~~===Deopping===~~		Command rules can be effective to combat general command abuse as well as spambots which spam a certain command. For example, command rules have been used in the past to filter [[Skynet#Mountains of Lava Inc.\|Skynet]].
	~~Repeatedly deopping the player prevents them from utilizing operator commands, which serves~~ to ~~reduce the enjoyment of the player~~ as well as ~~preventing them from doing any more harm~~, ~~leading them~~ to ~~disconnect on their own~~.

	~~===Teleportation===~~		In the past, bots like [[mewo]] have filtered [[iControlU]] command invocations in an attempt to prevent itself from being [[iControlU#Locking\|locked]]. Large scope blocks are discouraged unless you have a very good reason, as they have a noticeable impact on the [[Kaboom]] experience.
	~~Repeatedly teleporting~~ the ~~player~~ to a ~~specific position prevents them from moving~~, ~~which also reduces~~ the ~~player's enjoyment~~.

	===~~Multiple Methods~~===		==Chat messages==
	~~Most bots utilize multiple methods to cause a player to disconnect, leading to a higher chance of actually kicking the player.~~

	~~==Methods~~ of ~~Detecting Filtered Players==~~		Chat message rules are also effective during spambot attacks, and have been used in the past to implement general content filters instead of just mitigating spambot attempts. For example, [[KCB]] would clear the chat if it detected a Discord invite in chat. Other bots have filtered chat messages for things like swear words or slurs in the past.

	==~~=Usernames===~~		=Enforcement=
	~~Username detection is the simplest type of filtered player detection. It can be used by making a bot to simply read the tab list and kick anyone that is marked to be filtered on the list.~~

	~~===IP addresses===~~		Enforcement of filter rules is often achieved by repeatedly [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Commands/deop deopping] players, changing their [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Game_mode gamemode] to something that isn't [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Creative creative], and [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Commands/clear clearing] their inventories.
	~~IP address detection~~ is ~~a more complex way of filtering~~. ~~It involves running the <code>~~/~~seen<~~/~~code> command on every player~~ that ~~joins, then parsing the result for the IP address~~, and ~~finally kicking anyone who has the IP address on~~ their ~~filter list~~.

	===~~Fingerprinting~~===		==Implementation details==
	Fingerprinting is more frequently used on bots and works by searching for a pattern of commands a bot sends when first connecting to the server, and if the pattern matches a predefined entry on the filter list, the bot is kicked.

			In the interest of server performance and bandwidth usage, it is recommended that extensive use of [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Target%20selectors target selector] predicates are made (with the exception of the NBT predicate as that requires exporting the entity to NBT which is an expensive operation).

	=~~=Methods of Bypassing Filters==~~		For example, filtered players should be added to [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Scoreboard teams] and selected via <code>@a[team=example]</code>.
			Furthermore, team names should be randomized, players should be added and removed from them based on the [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_protocol/Packets#Update_Teams Update Teams packet]. It's also a good idea to change the name of the team if it is removed, to prevent easy filter bypass.
	~~===Alternative Accounts===~~
	~~Using an alternative or "alt" account can~~ be ~~used to bypass simple username~~ based ~~filtering~~. ~~Due to Kaboom being a "cracked" server, a player can simply use~~ a ~~"cracked" or pirate launcher~~ to ~~join with a custom~~ name.

	~~===VPNs and Proxies===~~
	~~Using a VPN or a proxy can be used~~ to bypass ~~IP based filtering~~.
