In test cases it is fine to enable all the commands, use

> The wchp/wchc four letter words can be exploited in a DOS attack on the ZK
> client port - typically 2181. The following POC attack was recently published
> on the web:

> The most straightforward way to block this attack is to not allow access to
> the client port to non-trusted clients - i.e. firewall the ZooKeeper service
> and only allow access to trusted applications using it for coordination.
