Just one questions: what's the ID for? Is it the steam id or something like that?

supposedly there is a private duping method out there that doesn't involve being a server admin, so its possible.

@Paper26 The ID is the number that appears on the end of your steam profile link. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/1122334455667788/ something like that.

Then we use http://dayzguid.com/ to find their GUIDs from that number.

im not sure, but could it be that unconscious players loging off and reconnecting cause those logs?
because if those logs are accurate, the unkown entitys get killed after the killer disconnected

Maybe I should have written it better. OP updated.

I heard that If your game crashes and you are killed after that and you log in, you get duped. Maybe they are forcing a crash or most likely killing dayz in task manager.
