The plugin hooks valve's receive UDP packet function and filters out the packets sent by the attacker program.
The amount of code required to do this is very small. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of AFAdmin Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 2:28 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] DoS Attack Fix Plugin Released I haven't been on this list for very long, So I dont know eveyrone yet... But again, I would feel alot more comfortable trying out the plugin if I could see what it actually does or how it works, rather than add some blackbox addon to my server from someone I do not know. You can probably tell I'm not of the "Take your medicine it's good for you" philosophy. ;) P.S. I'd still like to know what this plugin actually does.
