If you have a server, watch it CLOSELY!

[*NastyJeff*]

Hello peeps,
Just thought that I would give you a heads up, someone out there is attacking servers to change the passwords and then start banning people.
They appear to be using a brute force type program to throw random rcons at the server(s) until it finds the correct one, then they are changing the rcon pass and changing bans and such at will.
After doing a lot of studying, it appears it has been happening to different types of game servers also; Counter Strike, etc. I found the program I believe it was done with.
I have placed new security measures on my server; hopefully it is finished.
Keep an eye on your server(s).

Hackers!

I was shocked and angree last night by the actions of some jerk who thinks its clever to hack. I agree lets hope its the last time we see such action on our servers.
I will be monitoring the server more closely and I will be only too willing to pass on hackers info to gameservers. Its amazing how shallow some peoples lives are if the only pleasure they can get is attacking what others have.

Good job Jeff, one step ahead ;D

The best think to do about this whole incident is to put it down to experience, now things are better prepared for any other potential threat.

[*NastyJeff*]

Yes agreed.
I was prepared to hack the hacker, but what is the point?

[*NastyRedneck*]

ehh revenge?

I would, if I could, hate it when such things happen and those morons get away with it.
Track 'm down, take away their anonymity, give them what they love so much to do.
No respect for them
