Do these dll even work for AA/SH/BT? I think they got originally written for RTCW and I'm not sure if our game even recognizes them. At least I tested them and the getstatus attacks were still possible!
Got the first version of the fix ready. I did not thouroughly testing (had not yet the chance to test with a busy server) but it should work. This fix works like this: in case of a flood attac with getstatus queries it will block any getstatus request to the server, they won't reach the server and therefor also won't be processed by the server. If the attac stops everything is as before. The Disadvantage of this approach is, during the time of attac also legit getstatus queries will be blocked, though rcon status should still work.

Unfortunately thats not really an option for me because our webtool needs getstatus in order to work properly. But for some people this fix will do it. What about gamespy queries? Wouldnt the server disappear from the in game server list when you block all getstatus?
The flood tool says that it sends 500 queries but in my log i get only 15 off them with your dlls and without the dlls i get the 500 queries. So it works, ty for this Would this prevent what i had before? And will this also work for other games like cod 4?
It does block getstatus only for the time an attac occurs, but in that case it blocks all getstatus queries.
Not sure what you ment with before. If you need it for cod4 or other games I can modify it, let me know if you need it.
What i mean with before is: someone used one off my gameservers to make an udp attack to an other ip. And one for cod 4 would be awesome ^^
i ve blocked the ips in the firewall and restarted the server and now the log is ... 15kb? because i had like 150000 lines with: SV packet 71.170.249.36:25565 : getstatus
with our without the anti getstatus flood fix running ? Under which situation you had lag ? With the fix running and server was under attac ? or also with the fix running and not under attac ?
i had the dlls placed in the server, i think like ur dll does it makes it only to ~15 max getstatus? So if they kept spamming, u ll c in game: slow server and ping thats are normally 48 went to ~95. But now i banned those 2 ips and restarted the game server and now its ok
yes thats how it should work, did you test with the flood tester ? If you still have many thousend lines of same IP in logs then something went or is wrong or I have a bug in the .dll file. yes the fix does not prevent from lag, well it should reduce it, but if a server is under heavy attac server will lag.
Well before i had the dlls placed they were also spamming and ping was 1000-3000 And yes i tested it with the floodtester, i posted it before here
I'am currently updating to a more advanced version which will ban the attacking Ip's and still allow legit requests.
Have made version 2 ready, check here please: http://www.scapp.net/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;download=32 or http://www.x-null.net/forums/showthread.php?1006-AntiGetstatusFlood-Flood-Tester&p=9052#post9052 I did not have the oppurtunity to test on a life server with players and which is under attac, please be so kind and test it and let me know if and how it works.
How does it work? How does it ban IPs? Is that configurable? To ask again, it should theoretically work on all distributions of MoHAA (Spearhead, Demo, etc)? EDIT: I confirm that it works perfectly on AA/BT/SH. I didn't test the Demo versions yet. Am I right that it blocks all attacking IPs until I restart the game(server)? After that it seems to work again?
