Finding random private servers just to grief them is such unemployed behavior.

The fact that their reasoning (or at least one of them) for griefing servers is "if I don't do it now I won't be able to in the future" REALLY shows how big of scumbags these people are.

I really don't like people saying something like, "At least it's me who have done it and someone more bad will do it, and at least I have the decency I teach them how to ensure this doesn't happen again. After having my fun destroying this server."
My guy you can do the nice thing, log into server, not grief and tell people how to secure their own servers. It's like you got beaten up by a rando for doing nothing to them and then they say "hey, come let me teach you how to defend yourself."
Yeah pretty much. It's textbook "I'm guilty and coping with it" behavior. It's gaslighting victims of terrible behavior into thinking they're at fault for it, when they're really not. It's just someone trying to absolve themselves from guilt. The reality is that *maybe* a few of the servers he griefed would've been griefed without him doing it. Most of them would've been fine had he not done anything. Deep down he's guilty about it, but it's fun for him so he made up a way to make himself seem like the good guy for doing bad things.
yeah just like mat did with their scanner, just log in, inform, log out
@@wholesome193 They're using server scanners. I'm pretty sure many other people would find that IP and grief and not tell how to secure for next time. Then again they could just not grief or provide a save state (something they could also automate and use when the server owner asks). I guess they like doing a little trolling but they could give save states.
This. It would be so simple to do some very noticeable yet easy to clean up griefing with signs pointing the person to a site that tells them how to secure their server. At that point, they've been warned and if a "more bad" person comes along afterwards and destroys their world, then it's their problem.
Guy smashes a kid's sandcastle: "See kid? That's why you need to defend your sandcastle, to prevent guys like me from destroying it."
Kid: "B-b-b-but ... what about my sandcastle ~~~ I've spent so much time on it ~~~ 😭😭"

so why on earth do people like shrekt get a link to their channel in the description??? these people don't deserve ANY attention, and it baffles me to see corrupt people like these get promoted- even with the video not really taking a side on this issue- while the people trying to stop this barely get a minute at the end of the video.
stay safe server hosts. praise the anti griefers watching out for us.
Exactly, I don't run a server and I sometimes find griefing videos mildly amusing, but that whole thing was just the dude coping over his terrible behavior. He knows what he's doing is terrible so this is his way of making himself feel better about it. The whole "if it wasn't me it would've been someone else" defense is the biggest cope of them all because no, it wouldn't have been someone else lol. Most people aren't doing this to random servers.

Love the mentality of "If I didn't do X, then someone else would have". It is a facade for their lack of morality.
I thing griefing is understandable on big servers where you'd expect it could be a possibility, and they're able to do roll backs. But on small servers where you'd expect to trust all the players (Because you know them) is completely uncalled for and is often extremely stressful.
I'm glad to hear Mat Scanner exists, but they should update the scanner to make it more clear what the issue is and how to fix it.
Honestly they should learn compassion and acknowledge that there are people behind the screen.

This happened to my server recently. I ran a small cracked server for friends and some old school mates to join for around a ~year I want to say. Never really thought much about security; I ran a few servers around 2015-2016 with absolutely no whitelist or anything and nothing really scary happened back then. I was a bit smarter this time, as I did have the whitelist enabled because i heard that people would join to blow everything up. Anyway, fast forward to 2 months ago, I had just reconnected with a group of friends with whom I used to play back in the day. I removed the whitelist for THREE DAYS to let everyone join and when I logged on during the weekend, everything was destroyed. Bases super far away from the spawn were obliterated. Spawn buildings destroyed and everything. Looking back, that was probably a really bad idea but I didn't know any better I guess. (P.S. I think it was that "ogmur" guy potentially, I remember seeing something about that on the screen when I logged on.) Anyways, that's a hard lesson learned for me. I had no idea this was such a widespread issue. Thanks for this video mate, you definitely earned a subscribe here.

Server scanning was never a nice thing, giving people the ability to find servers across the internet is just begging for it to be used maliciously.

but it's not AI though
I believe that mass griefing like this could be considered unprovoked harassment. "It's just a block game" or "it was all in Minecraft" aren't excuses for harassment that the courts will except. As far as I know, there isn't an exception to making or acting out threats in videogames.
However, it's not just about the griefing because maybe that as an isolated incident could be dismissed. They have also created software specifically to spy on victims on mass, which flys right in the face of any good intentions. Additionally, some of those victims were likely known to be minors or mentally disabled and these groups are legally protected from spying or harassment in most countries on the planet, even if it's digital in nature.
My friend's Server got griefed like a week ago. Someone joined as an opped acc and basically replaced everything with air. Online mode was disabled, so that explains how they got in. Fortunately, we made a backup two weeks ago, so not too much got lost
It's honestly sad seeing human beings doing stuff like that.

i understand that they had their reasons to crack (i did host cracked servers at some point bc friends of mine didn't have the game), so i won't do the morale thing of "boo piracy bad" because fuck that. you can't force everyone to buy the game, and sometimes you just wanna play with your friends. unfortunately i don't think there is much you can do for the security of a cracked server, so the next best thing is backups.
actually maybe bots would struggle joining a modded server aswell? maybe you could just make your server have forge and have one mod required as a sort of "key" to enter. not the best solution of course, but i don't think they would be able to log on at all. i don't have much knowledge on this but worth trying if you're willing to!

how terminally online do you have to be to develop these bots? I swear, I'm a tf2 player and it feels like some will stop at nothing just to make sure others can't have fun.
It's mental illness combined with no job or life. The last time I played TF2 every game I'd join there was some loser who had set up a bot to headshot everyone.
Ogmur griefing servers "just" to teach people how to protect their servers against griefing AND giving tutorials about griefing is like shooting a school "just" to give them a lesson about strenghtening their security while also leaving propaganda to your gun store. Plus, younger players won't go into discord and learn how to code to not get griefed again, which are arguably the most vulnerable and the ones with bigger repercussions. That's simply stupid to justify griefing with such a silly answer, the guy clearly makes money from it and is just trying to disguise it as some twisted form of education.
are you comparing someone griefing a minecraft server to someone committing a school shooting?
@@21995 i mean the scale doesn't matter. griefing is vandalism, you don't rob someone to show them how easy it is to steal their wallet. (i love using weird comparisons)

The worst part is that you don't have to imagine it as it is very much likely that it happened already 💀
Well, if you went out of your way to host it on a public IP address, you should probably at least have some basic sense of online server security like having some kind of authentification (password or whitelist). These servers were literally set up to automatically give full access to anyone wo asks (no auth) and while that's fine for servers on a home network, it's very bad for anything accessible from the internet.

Happened to us these days, turned whitelist on but with online mode disabled it had no effect, had to buy a copy of minecraft to one of my gfs (the other already had one), turned on online mode and whitelist, these stupid bots are still trying to enter, some even use our usernames, but it's funny to see them all just get disconnected and the same IP popping in the logs multiple times, this wouldn't happen if everyone had a job
maybe try changing the port in the server settings, then connecting to your server using that port?

I always learnt from very ethical people.

One day, one of these griefers is going to meet a server owner IRL, and there will be consequences.

Griefing servers like this is really just mental illness behaviour and honestly it's quite repugnant. Like what ? You have to ruin other people's fun and hard work to feel any sort of emotion ? Go touch grass, get help.
And it's not even taking into account just how dark it can be, like imagine you had a server you played on with a friend and that friend died, or is now fighting with some terminal illness or anything of that sort really, and it's was just a small community so you don't have whitelist on, because who tf would find the IP and than some random person joins and destroys everything, all the builds with the memories attached, only to than tell you like ,,well uh uh, you should have protected your server better 🤓'' or worse just get griefed by a bunch of bots, making it even less personal, just a destruction for the sake of destruction. I can guarantee you that with the amount of servers that exist, it has probably happened already, more than once, and it will happen in the future as well. This is just a sad and repugnant behaviour.
And no, none of the excuses are valid, just because someone didn't have their server protected, doesn't mean you should grief it, likewise just because you tell them how to fix their server protection, doesn't make it ok either - that would be like shooting someone in the chest and than telling them ,,well you see, you should have had a bullet proof vest''. Same with excuses like ,,if I haven't done it someone else would have'' - even if that was the case, like so ? - just because someone else might do it in the future doesn't mean it has to be you, it's like stealing things from the supermarket and saying the same thing - ,,if I haven't done it, someone else would have'' - that's not a justification, that's just an excuse to make yourself feel better about your shitty behaviour.
Griefing, especially by just destroying everything or covering it in lava is the least creative thing of all, and the fact that the kinds of people who do it have to result to that to feel any kind of emotion is honestly quite sad, I pity them. They probably live very miserable lives if this is what they resolve to to feel any kind of joy.

if they cared at all, they would do what mat does, trying to warn people about their vulnerabilities. but they are here to cause damage, probably bc they need attention.
so, if you ever meet one of these people, brag about your parents!

No server is safe until Mojang makes the necessary changes to their server security.
Exactly.

cry about it
Why can't we just play Minecraft, have fun, hang out with friends, and be chill? Why ruin so many people's days? These aren't trolls they are straight bullies. Like griefing friends servers is fine but not innocent random servers, atleast let them make a backup.
Your exact comment is why.
this kind of reaction makes them feel big
Enable whitelist
@@kazmark_gl8652 i dont even know this guy and im laughing my ass off at his reaction
Why can't you not enable whitelist?
@@kazmark_gl8652I know these people _want_ us to be angry but that in and of itself is so messed up that I just can't help but be angry
If you host any servers, this is why you should always keep it up to date with security methods (such as online mode, whitelist, and/or security plugins) and ALWAYS make backups. I made a python script to automatically backup my servers every 6 hours, and it proved useful as my main server had every structure annihilated. Stay safe and think like a greifer when managing servers.
It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you...
Found you lol
@@Average_Minnisotan Ain't no way
Thankfully, my friends server has a firewall and whitelist. It’s very secure.
oh yes@@SomeMineGame
Matscan was on our server a few months ago, right before I was logging off. I told my bf to whitelist the server a few days before but on that day I looked right over his shoulder so that he really did it! There are so many good people around and I was happy we met one that day :)
this happened to a group of my friends and i! several unknown people showed up at various times, but only one of them spawned any blocks. it was just a few pillars, no lava or anything, but still a very scary experience for what was supposed to be a casual romp with friends. i will never understand why people do this.

Cartoon villains man.
Their profile picture says everything.
It is, generally, a poor idea to actually give out names of these sorts of people. They want the attention.
comments like these need more attention (unlike the griefers lol). these people should've been anonymised and criticised, not GIVEN A LINK TO THEIR CHANNELS IN THE DESCRIPTION.
I don't understand why ppl grieff someone's hard work... That's just so rude, mean and unapologetically bad.
Multiple reasons. It could be a toxic coping mechanism or just psychopathic behaviour, along other stuff
Griefers will always dodge answering this fully though, and just resort to insult you in hopes to get you mad and divert the topic
@@daridon2483 Hit the nail on the head. You seem like you might know a thing or two about psychology
I think the main reason my friends and I haven't been hit been hit by any server-scanning griefing attacks is because we pretty much exclusively play modded and use custom mod sets, in addition to a whitelist.
So even if an account were compromised, the griefer would need to figure out all the mods that are on the server required on the client to connect. Too much effort to go through for most people doing this when they could just move on to the next target. The mods effectively act almost like a second whitelist.
On top of that, several of my friends who I play minecraft with are mod developers, and we often run private servers with development builds of their mods not yet available to the public, meaning in order to get in and grief they'd need to hack into the computer of someone who plays on the server (or playtests the mods otherwise) and acquire these mods that way, which is illegal and easily caught via logs if they aren't careful.
That moment when it only goes up from here.
The same tools used to scan and check servers, can also be used to check user accounts.
So you could get a bot join your server, scan you, then join every server you have connected to.
I bet something like that is probably already happening to an extent.
Augma: Uh, I haaave to grief servers NOW, or I WON'T be able to LATERRR! See, it's ok if I destroy the builds of innocent players just trying to enjoy their afternoon.
Griefing for entertainment is illness
That justification is like stealing someone's unlocked car and leaving a note saying "Lock your car next time sucker." It doesn't change the fact you did something horrible.
This is some of the most devious shit I've ever heard in my life 😭 fully automated griefing but why? What do you achieve
So we need to start hiring hackers to find those responsible to send viruses back to the culprits
This is pretty much a good example of the game that leaves players under security vulnerability by default without any of easily sensible countermeasures. Many private servers are improperly operated and configured to prevent griefing. Mojang only made the countermeasure IF you pay them a premium, and it's not even available for Java players. It's pretty harsh and sad truth.
The fifth column once targeted me. They accused me and my friends of being racist and other false stuff. They’re really weird tbh. But as long as you don’t give them a reaction they leave you alone. Also setup DDoS protection on your server and enable a whitelist. Then they really can’t do anything
thank you for bringing more attention to this
Ayeeee skiboi
cool video love the "essays" its fun to listen to while playing, currently in my 2 week minecraft phase :D
My mc server was attacked many times in the past, it was trully a horrible expierience. So here are some advises on what to do if you have a cracked server:
1. Whitelist on
2. Add some type of authentication
3. Make so that nobody before auth has op
4. Cancel every possible event in your plugin before login
5. Make logging proccess in a diffrent mc world
6. MAKE BACKUPS !!!

There used to be a small group that specializing on IP scan and manually grief UA Minecraft server since 2021... And that was epic, they posted full grief timelaps recordings AND comments they received in discord and emails, with contact details visible for all))) Good to hear their work lives and thriving))
I swear the people who grief have never had something that they made destroyed for no reason
If a dude snuck into their house and lambasted their PC- which they use to grief- I would reckon they would be pretty pissed.
Thanks for spreading awareness of this issue! I just finished the video and I heard of this before but didn’t think much of it but after watching this I’m thankful that you’re here to warn us. ❤
It's actually crazy, something similar to this happened to me all the way back in 2017. I could never figure out what happened. I'm not sure if its something similar to this or not but it ruined an old SMP I was running.
iF Griefing is a form of trolling - entertaining then thiefs are entertaning- TheMisterEpic
If griefing is a form of trolling then stabbing is a form of acupuncture.
the way I see it, the people who do this never matured beyond 11-12 years old🤷♂️ it's a pretty douchbag move to go around ruining someone else's hobby because you don't have the empathy to see value in their work
thanks so much i am about to start a Minecraft server and will look into getting safety for them
"All the servers are being destroyed, so I want to have a chance to destroy one before they're all gone!" Reminds me of the kinds of people who go out of their way to kill endangered species because they want an opportunity to hunt one before they go extinct. At least these guys are doing it in a children's block game, I guess.
I had experienced it before. I was playing with my friends on my own server and some random players started joining. Luckily I was online and immediately shut down the server. I then enable whitelist afterward to prevent it happening again.
12:21 wasn't expecting him to start dropping bars
Also custom modpack servers: "i don't have such weakness"
With the last server I had before switching to bedrock, I had someone log in randomly but it was pretty wholesome.
I didn't have time to get on it that day and forgot to set up the whitelist.
When I eventually hopped on, I found a little building on the beach near spawn with a chest full of ores in it.
Someone had found the server, dug down to diamond level, branched a bit, and left me all the stuff they mined with a sign letting me know to enjoy it.
goatrd behaviour
I remember these griefers invaded a minecraft server me and my friends had. I was safe since I had an underwater base but everyone else's large projects and bases were all destroyed. It completely killed everyone's motivation to play on the server even when our friend did a rollback, shit sucks.
Them griefing servers because they are "cracked" is just pathetic. Griefing people you think are in the wrong doesn't justify you being an awful person.
In the past, I disabled "online-mode" because the modpack I wanted to use was preventing players from being able to join. Does changing that setting mean I deserve to have all my stuff griefed?
Ignore the pretense of morality, they do it because they like doing it, and they especially like that people feel like shit over it.
Yeah, I had a box server in minehut and when I logged off to go to sleep, two members that looked innocent had spawned dragons, withers, and destroyed my server. I contacted Minehut and everything is fine now but this got me really scared.
I myself was scanned by matscan and server seeker, and was terrified. After matscan joined nothing happened and then some other bots started showing, one being an actual player who started spamming the anticheat logs. I thought I had whitelist enabled, but no, I had not. Since then I always make sure the whitelist is enabled.
Home your titration work is going well my man! Best of luck with the studies
Griefing is just virtual terrorism
In-game terrorism results in In-game punishments. Who woulda thunk it.
they were hired by mojang so ppl buy more realms
I wish this was illegal.. whoever does this is clearly just malicious and evil

Way older than that @@kanjonojigoku8644
Mojang could really have been avoiding this chaos caused by griefers by turning on all servers the whitelist option on by default and this would have not been a problem at all.
It often can be more a host issue, as they can change the config as the server is made so even if Microsoft changed it not much protection would be addrd
whitleist shoudnt be an option, you should be forced to use it, larger servers can just create automatic whitelist plugins and shit, but this would stop griefing very fast. imo mojang should also add some way to detect griefing and just delete accounts of griefers. if they run windows they should also just wipe the persons entire network
this wouldn't fix the issue for cracked servers though... and hey, i often don't use whitelist (mostly when i'm playing modded though)
@@GodOfChaos_HeXaSeems like a very levelheaded response

Thanks for making a vid about this. They've been trying to log in as me and my friend into my server for now 2 weeks, thankfully unsuccessfully, as it would be heartbreaking to lose my city project that I've been working on for 7 years now. To anyone else who owns a server: ENABLE WHITELIST & ONLINE MODE, plus do regular backups
Man, if I knew about this, id just be a server tourist, not greifing but exploring cool builds people have.
just backup your shit, i used to be stubborn too, sooo much memories lost
Can’t even enjoy minecraft in peace now

Use whitelist.
Use different ports if possible.
