New Dedi Server

Lameduck · August 25, 2012, 01:20:53 AM

Scawen has issued a new dedicated server exe file in response to the recent hacking by an idiot.:doh:
Available here http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1736849#post1736849
The hacker has been targeting popular servers, wrecking races and controlling the server.
perhaps we should install this before we are hit.

Thanks Ant, we must have had a server reboot. All sorted now:)

Anytime Mr Duck,
I just upgraded to the 0.6B4 for my server as well. Really fast response

See you later today (But only in my mirrors)

That's a really pretty place to live, Birkenhead UK.

You jest sir. :help2:

Server updated again to 0.6B4

QuoteChanges in B4 :

Two more hacking checks on packets sent by connecting guests
Removed message "Got master packet" from network debug output
No buffer overflows from hangs or operating system time changes
Auto restart after buffer overflow on host to avoid bugged state

Thanks Oldie

There is a new dedi available but I'm holding off at the moment as there are bugs that Scawen is fixing.

Good plan :thumb: so far we haven't been affected by the hackers, I put it down to our excellent IT staff
