Im not sure if there is an exploit or if it is just a bug, but my server just got pegged at near 100% usage with as little as 10 players playing de_dust2.
During this time, I get things like this:
CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 13240.27 8509.97 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14361.18 8490.80 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14499.42 8436.57 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14502.69 8405.15 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14574.42 8363.82 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14608.94 8278.60 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14551.88 8278.60 267 4 10.00 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 99.90 14588.11 8208.36 267 4 10.00 12
Then shortly after the server returned to normal:
] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 10.67 14776.25 25856.41 268 4 170.67 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 10.80 14630.06 25408.22 268 4 170.67 12 ] rcon stats CPU In Out Uptime Users FPS Players 10.80 14621.13 24759.22 268 4 170.67 12
Not sure if some player was the cause of this or not. Approximately 3 people left in the time that the server returned to normal, so even if I narrowed down to one player, who knows if they were the cause of it or if it was coincidence.
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Reason why I think it might be an attack is since my servers are HEAVILY targeted by cheaters/hackers. You name it, I probably have seen it in one of my servers and I already have 100+ ban list already which I got over the course of maybe 10 days.
