Hey all, Since there seems to be a script kiddie going around and abusing A2C_PRINT I've updated my DoS Attack Fix plugin to block A2C_PRINT spam. The plugin is a Valve server plugin, and does not require metamod or Sourcemod. It can be loaded in the middle of a game with no noticeable load time. You can download it from my website: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=9
Direct link: http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=35 Both Linux and Windows binaries are included. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to your addons directory. Here is an example from the HLDS list of what the update is designed to block: http://screencast.com/t/JRYs3LglN Contents of the README file: DoS Attack Fix Version: 3 for TF2 Date: 5/3/09 Creator: Drunken F00l, www.sourceop.com This plugin blocks the denial of service attacks released into the wild recently. Console commands: daf_status - Returns the status of the DoS Attack Fix plugin and prints the IP address of any blocked offenders daf_reset - Resets the banned IP list CVARs: daf_version - The version of the DoS Attack Fix plugin daf_enable - Enables the DoS Attack Fix plugin (defaults to on) daf_log - Enables logging of new attackers to file (defaults to off; saves to addons/daf/log.txt) daf_block_alla2cprint - Enables blocking of all A2C_PRINT packets (defaults to off) daf_block_a2cprint_spam - Enables blocking of high volumes of A2C_PRINT packets (defaults to on) daf_block_a2cprint_nonprintable - Enables blocking of A2C_PRINT packets with strange characters (defaults to on) I hope this helps! - Tony _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
