Hello everyone! I have concluded my research on the infamous Global Ban Wave that has been going on for quite some time. Until now, I have been in conducting research on the Global Ban Wave for a week. Many keys lost their lives, but was worth it. Many factors mix into getting banned by BattlEye, and it isn't very difficult at all to get globalized. I have figured out BattlEye starts a global ban wave every day. I have created some methods and precautions to stay clear of the Global Ban.

NOTE* I AM STILL RESEARCHING & UPDATING THIS THREAD. I will continue to keep you guys updated until this seems complete.
Hack Loaders:
Loading your hacks incorrectly
WILL result in unsettling consequences.
Open your hack loader FIRST, before opening anything else DayZ related (DayZ Commander, Play withSIX, ect.) Opening and loading your hack loader in-game or in the main menu can possibly result in a global ban. Open and prepare your loader, then launch DayZ Commander or whatever you use.
When you launch ArmA 2, BattlEye can see what processes your computer is running. If BattlEye sees anything like "Loader", "AJ", "Hacks", ect. They will think it is hack related. You can go on BattlEye.com and it will even show the proof. To avoid this, rename your loader to something like MS Paint or Photoshop. This can trick BattlEye into thinking you don't have a hack processing.
A quote from BattlEye
The Engine
The BattlEye system consists of the BE Client and the BE Server that communicate with each other through the game's netcode. In addition, there is the BE Master which is queried for new core software and cheat detection updates. The BE Client (as well as the BE Server) runs within the game, allowing best possible detection of cheats.
BattlEye scans the game and the system in RAM and on HDD, mainly using generic methods that globally catch all cheats/hacks of one type (including private ones as far as possible).
In order to work, BattlEye requires absolutely no user input or server-side administration - it comes as is and does its job independently. This also applies on the effective auto-update system which works reliably flawlessly and thus ensures that each player is always up-to-date.
Furthermore BattlEye has no special system requirements: Being very user-friendly, BE needs only little resources regarding CPU, RAM and network bandwidth. The player simply will not notice that BattlEye is running in the background.
To get a better idea of what the BattlEye Anti-Cheat Engine stands for, here is a list of the core features of the engine:
Fast dynamic and permanent scanning of the player's system in both user- and kernel-mode (currently in development) using almost exclusively heuristic/generic detection routines for maximum effectiveness
BE Client is using innovative, sophisticated detection routines, such as entirely dynamic on-the-fly scanning being controlled by the BE Master Server, advanced debugging techniques and full scanning of relocatable memory
BE Server is keeping full control over the game server, enforcing quick and constant responses from all BE Clients and instantly kicking violating players
BE Server and BE Client are communicating via highly encrypted network packets
Secure BE Master based auto-update system using one or more physical servers, working very reliably and bandwidth-friendly without disturbing the player
If you are a game developer or publisher interested in the integration of BattlEye into your online multiplayer game, please feel free to get in contact and send an e-mail to license[at]battleye.com to get more information
Along with renaming your loader, put your loader in a folder separate from everything else (Isolating it into it's own folder). This can help with loading problems (Crashing the game, not injecting properly, ect.).

Precautions:
✔ Private hive Servers
✔ High Populated Servers
✔ Detected Scripts
✔ Servers w/ Kick-Ass Anti-Hacks
~Private Hives
Private hives may be the worst server you can join (not like you have an option). You have to be extremely careful with private hives. The admins watch them 24/7 and beyond any doubt know what they're doing. You wanna know what happens if they find out your teleporting? They ban you and proceed you report you to BattlEye. Stay on servers with
no more than 35-40 people. Be extra cautious when spawning, enabling no recoil, ect.
~ High Population
STAY OUT of high populated servers! When your in a server with 45+ players, chances are the admins are watching. Don't think "Oh, there is too much going on, they won't notice a quick little teleport" cause they damn well know how to do their job. Admins and server owners are displeased with hackers and will do
ANYTHING to prevent a hacker from bombing their server.
~ Detected Scripts
This is probably the number 1 reason why people get banned. Detected/logged scripts will get you banned off a server in 4 seconds. And when you do get banned, the admin that banned you will notify BattlEye and a global ban will be on the way.
~ Kick-Ass Anti-Hacks
There are several anti-hacks out in the world of DayZ. Gotcha, hack scanners, Silent Warrior, ect. Steer clear of any servers saying they have a custom anti-hack.
DO NOT EVER join a server that has MG Anti-Hack or whatever it's called. It absolutely rapes every hacker who tries opening a menu.

The DayZ Daily Ban Wave. When to expect it?
So, I have done a little extra digging and found out a daily ban wave is conducted. But, I even found out when it starts. It would seem I always get banned around 6 pm Pacific Time (This is my time zone. Washington, Oregon, California) I figured the ban wave
starts around 6 pm and ends around 9 pm (Give or take 30 minutes).
Basically, get off DayZ before the ban wave starts and hope to God you don't get banned. This is not a precise time of when the ban wave starts, this is a guideline to figure out when to get off DayZ.
*
NOTE* If you do not live in Pacific Time (Washington, Oregon, California) Please look at the time zone list.

The Ban Wave List For Each Time Zone
I have no idea if the daily ban wave is world wide at once of just be each time zone.
I am still figuring out how the daily ban works. If the ban starts world wide all at once then here is a list.
Ban Wave Time Zones
*
NOTE* THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE DAILY BAN WAVE MAY BE WORLD WIDE OR JUST BY EACH TIME ZONE.
I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE BAN WAVE OCCURS WORLD WIDE ALL AT ONCE.
The * marks the major cities | These are times of when the ban wave
possibly starts

Script Scan Method
Multiple servers have that ridiculous script scan. Ever get the message "Bad content was not found" and you then have to click OK? Yeah, do not press "OK". What those script scans do is they trick you into thinking you bypassed the script scan and you got the "Bad content was not found" message thinking you got off scott free. But, when you click "OK" it kicks you from the server and sends the info to BattlEye. That is how badass the script scan is.
This is how to not get banned by the script scan. When you stumble upon a server that happens to have a script scan, wait for the "Bad content was not found" message to pop up. When it does,
DO NOT CLICK OK. Open task manager and shut down your ArmA 2. You just now saved yourself from a possible ban.
*
NOTE* The Script Scan Method is not to bypass the script scan, but to save yourself from a possible ban.

Spawning Method
So, you're in a private hive server with a decent amount of people and you have no weapon...not even some morphine. Well, first things first
DO NOT straight up spawn an M107. If you're spawning weapons like there is no tomorrow, that is going to get you insta-banned. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why you have an M107 as a fresh spawn.
Here is my method I use to get myself some gear:
The Spawning Method
Prologue: Spawn into the game. Activate ESP.
1) Walk around, kill a few zombies and maybe a player. Go loot a few places and spawn yourself a garbage weapon.
2) Kill more zombies, find some players to kill and go loot a military zone. Spawn a better weapon and some supplies.
3) Go find some tents and kill a few players. Loot some chopper crashes and what not and give yourself a better weapon.
4) If you die for whatever reason, then rinse and repeat.
It's that easy. Sure it's time consuming but it's fun and worth it.
*NOTE* This is just a guideline of what you should do, you don't have to do exactly what it says.

Vehicle Method
Try not to spawn yourself vehicles. Or even worse, use a script that teleports you to the selected vehicle you want because you just teleported. Spawning vehicles is very, very detectable on private hive servers (Not very detectable on servers with 1k vehicles). At the start of every server you and everyone else is thinking "Boy I sure would like a helicopter" because it is fast transportation and has machine guns on the armed helicopters.
Here is my method I use to get a chopper:
Vehicle Method
Prologue: Spawn into the game. Activate ESP
1) Look on your map for the nearest chopper.
2) If it is in manageable walking distance then run to it. If not, look for the nearest car and drive to it.
3) Once you are at the chopper, do not repair it if it doesn't desperately need a tune up. Leave it as it is.
It's that easy ಠ‿ಠ
