Re: [hlds] Source packet flood exploit
Grab the ip flooding yours and complain to that persons ISP, send them the log, drop a hint that that persons activity is against their TOS On Sun, Oct 24, 2010 at 3:44 PM, Kyle Sanderson kyle.l...@gmail.com wrote: Those cvars don't do a darn thing against this flood Ronny. The only addon that I've seen to help prevent this attack was ServerSecure2. However, since it doesn't answer a2s_info queries right away, things such as HLSW will cease to function. Your server will also look very unattractive to players as your ping in the server browser will be inflated. Kyle.

If the default settings kill your server, lower the values until you get decent hardware. Malicious users can continuously spam the TSource Engine Query USP packet to any given server, causing the server to crash under the pressure. I've been subject to this spam and I believe Valve should do something in order to prevent this packet from being spammed. If I block the packet then legitimate users cannot see my game, if I let it go, my game is unplayable. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

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).

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. -Original Message- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2010 5:29 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] SRCDS Protect Tips 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.
