We use many plugins to minimize attacks. Here's a great read for you. I think you'll find the list covers just about all of the plugins you'll need.
https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=189327?t=189327 As you read down the list, you will find the most popular and powerful plugins and their links near the bottom. The author of this thread did an phenominal job! All credit goes to him and the sys devs who created these plugins to plug the holes that Valve has failed to deal with. Hope it helps!

Which plugin you recommend to add to the server ? Where Can I find iptables rules that can prevent those attacks ? Someone told me that the attacker use A2S attack, is there any way to protect against it with iptables/windows firewall?

Although, DDoS attacks can't be prevented, you can null-route all the packets from the attack, but (if the attack is big enough) it uses up all your resources to do so, thus causing your servers to malfunction. Furthermore, do you know if this is a DDoS attack, or is this some srcds protocol hack? You need to patch those too with plugins.

But, changing to ipv6 doesn't prevent your server against DoS-Attacks. There is only one way: Find out the bad packets and filter them with iptables/windows-firewall. I don't know if the Windows-Firewall can filter packets with specified strings. Greetings Andre Müller 2014-03-26 15:20 GMT+01:00 Ariel Pinto <[email protected]>: Thanks a lot Saint K. !
