Well if you change the rcon password to "", then you won't be able to use it either. If you need to use it then your only hope is a strong password that you don't give out to anyone else, unless you absolutely trust them with your life. The only reason I can think to need rcon is if you use so

I am slightly reluctant to do this, since I use rcon fairly often. Do real game servers do this as well? Also, is there a way to change the default rcon port to something different than the game port? IE: have srcds on 27015, but the rcon port be 27025? On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 5:03 PM, Crazy Ca

My rcon pw was not an easily bruteforced pw (different case letters, with more then 14 chars). I have no log of any attempts, execpt for the actual rcon, coming from the IP of the person who claimed he did it. We do use custom maps, but they are commonly used maps, (Ie cs_crackhouse). Sv_cheats

Was your rcon password something that someone could easily bruteforce? Is it possible that your game server's FTP password got out and that he got it through that? Does anyone but you know the rcon passwords or have access to your files? I kind of doubt a program could get rcon passwords so easily

My rcon password was recently compromised by someone. I spoke with him before he got it and he claimed he used a modified version of csdos to get it. I am reluctant to post it here, but I can email it privately to a valve employee. I currently have Sourcemod, Metamod:Source, and Eventscripts ins
