Re: [hlds] SRCDS Protect Tips

2010-09-12 Thread dmex

I quote CodeProject: Long passwords are for lunatics!

Before you start questioning that statement, If the SteamID is locked for 24
hours after three unsuccessful attempts, a six-digit PIN can withstand 100
years of sustained attack (unless they have physical access to your box).

Just think about that for one second, a 100 years to crack a 6 digit 
numerical password...



Now set banpenalty and maxfailures in your server.cfg then you don't need to 
bother with really long/complex passwords because an attacker is only going 
to get 3 attempts a day..


// Number of minutes to ban users who fail rcon authentication, 1440 = 24h
sv_rcon_banpenalty 1440
// Max number of times a user can fail rcon authentication before being 
banned

sv_rcon_maxfailures 3

I also suggest everyone having a read of this article to understand a bit 
better why long passwords are for lunatics:

Use a password generator for strong passwords.

numbers
with 8 to 32

2010-09-12 Thread clad iron
to each his own, but if someone was trying to hack your rcon, why give them
a 2nd chance ?
If it is set to sv_rcon_minfailures 2 and it was an admin that failed the
password, i would thing they could get a hold of someone to remove it.

if i'm not seeing this correctly or there would be other reasons to allow
someone that tries to hack rcon access and fails to rejoin.
Then please tell me.

   If we talk generally about passwords, then you are correct.

Any hacker or cryptologist will disagree with this. As you go up in
   length
  
   for passwords they are less secure using just letters and numbers,
 than
   using symbols in addition. A case insensitive compilation of a-z,
 A-Z,
   and
   0-9 contains 62 symbol counts, while all of the American standard
 code
   for
   information interchange characters result in a symbol count of 94. An
   attacker has to generate approximately 50% of the possible
 combinations
   to
   achieve success; if the possible combinations (enhanced by symbol
  counts)
   are increased, it will take the attacker longer and be more difficult
  for
   them to crack the password.

Any password such as S5Df2lf5F0skj4On or Fs3Kl89Gh57kLG was secure
 as
   it can be, without any extra marks like @,%,  etc. Also it does not
  help
   to have a good password if that is leaking from the server itself all
   the time to the hostile attackers so first of all, keep the server
   secured and run plugins to prevent malicious exploits. Just keep that
  in
   mind.

   Just an FYI, the server does not like some of the passwords with
  
   characters
  
   when set in the commandline. Even with quotes... Well from TF2 in my
   experience. Specifically the @ symbol.

   Use a password generator for strong passwords.
