Family Share Detect - Rust Plugin

This plugin helps Rust server administrators combat the exploitation of Steam Family Sharing. Family sharing allows multiple accounts to access the same game library, which can be abused to gain unfair advantages, such as multiple high-level accounts sharing resources or circumventing bans. Family Share Detect identifies accounts potentially using family sharing and provides server admins with tools to manage them. It analyzes account relationships and activity to flag suspicious behavior, giving admins the information needed to make informed decisions about player management. This improves fairness and reduces the impact of cheating on your server.

This plugin works by analyzing various data points associated with connected players. It doesn't directly ban players but instead provides information to aid admins in their decision-making process. This allows for a more nuanced approach to managing potential family sharing abuse, ensuring that legitimate players aren't unfairly penalized.

Key features may include (depending on the plugin's version):

• Identification of potentially shared accounts: The plugin highlights accounts that may be linked through family sharing.
• Reporting and logging: Provides clear logs and reports to help admins track suspicious activity.
• Admin tools: Offers tools to help manage accounts identified as potentially abusing family sharing.
• Customizable settings: Allows admins to adjust the sensitivity of the detection algorithms to balance accuracy and false positives.

By using Family Share Detect, server administrators can create a more equitable gaming environment for all players and maintain the integrity of their server.
