[hlds_linux] Flood/exploit or something
Hey guys, For the last 2-3 days my server has been flooded quite a lot. I put up a firewall (APF), but it didn't really help (actually it made things worst). Some kind of map something error and server freezes. Never mind about that. So, ping gets up to 500-1000 and that's it. No logs, nothing. I actually notice that a new player joints, but he doesn't come out in status so that i can see his IP. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Flood/exploit or something
Sounds like an old EP1 engine exploit which was supposedly fixed in OrangeBox. A plain join to a server was enough to crash it and there was no way to see who it was as ip or id didn't show up. This might have now resurfaced again somehow and exploited again. -ics 25.1.2011 18:50, Anthony Stoyanov kirjoitti: Hey guys, For the last 2-3 days my server has been flooded quite a lot.

there are 2 kind of attacks going on... how much bandwidth are you using during these floods?
