Fact is if u can upload any files to the server you can hack it. Doesn't matter if its hard or easy to do it can be done so its neither here nor there.
Yes valve could do some stuff to make securing it easier but if you allow mods to be uploaded then it wouldn't make any difference. Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian mu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Restricting ftp imo isn't "really" a solution to this, other games I haven't had a problem with as you can easily control the mods (binaries) loaded unlike CSS (its kinda still possible indeed, but messy). You could probably restrict bin/dll folders but its still not ideal imo. I still think a neater solution would just be to simply have a list of binaries that are fine to be loaded that you can write protect. (Probably some flaw to that one, but haven't thought of it, probably comes in when intermediates like metamod come into play).
