Hi,
yes, you are right. This Crashes the Servers. I have been looking since 2 days into the logs and ban this players permanent. We must have an global list, with this people :-) and ban them on all Servers ! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2004 2:10 PM Subject: [hlds_linux] Deliberate Server Attacks - Exploit
It seems if a player changes his name to %n, and is then killed they can cause the server to crash, or atleast timeout and cause everyone to exit. I'm seeing this several times a day and an urgent fix is required.
Example below:
L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:02: "metti-<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" changed name to "[myg0t]servercrash+" L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:09: "[myg0t]servercrash+<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" say "dont kill me" L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:14: "[myg0t]servercrash+<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" say "the server will crash" L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:38: "[myg0t]servercrash+<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" changed name to "%n" L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:49: "%n<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" say "servercrash in 10 seconds" L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:57: "%n<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" say "3" L 10/16/2004 - 15:12:59: "%n<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" say "2" L 10/16/2004 - 15:13:02: "%n<405><STEAM_0:0:4079><CT>" committed suicide with "world"
Another example with the '%n', after just crashing it.
L 10/17/2004 - 11:42:35: "%n<615><STEAM_0:0:4586436><CT>" say "ILL DO IT AGAIN WHEN IT GETS PACKED"
