Normally I'd assume that my rcon was compromised, change it, and move on. I can't tell if this is related to the latest influx of exploits for source games, but basically my community members informed me today that: "Twice today The Tempest servers were flooded with Bot players. Everyone would be recalled to their battlement resupply while these Bots (of the opposing team) would kill them and a wav of "niggers" looped repeatedly. Eventually the continuous stream of Bots hammering the server would cause it to freeze/crash. Pretty annoying and it doesn't look good for the server either. I'd think that a group using Tux the penguin (or some variation of him) as their logo would be a little more concerned with server security. I know you guys run this as a free service to other gamers etc., but I'm just saying it how it is... it looks really bad on your part and discourages the average player from using your servers or even considering donating." Now this sounds like the benchmark exploit, but the looping wav sound disturbs me. Even if the rcon was compromised, how would everyone be able to hear a sound that we don't have on our servers? Unless it's been renamed that is, but even then it would have to be on the http webserver, and it's not. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ 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
