Yeah I agree with ignoring them, which is what the server owner I talked to was doing, however they are launching ddos attacks with spoofed getstatus packets, which is very hard to block, even if you rename getstatus packets, the sheer bandwith used for the ddos + if they switch to other packets will still lag/crash the server. I am collecting information on them as I see them (logging ips/usernames/addresses/names) but it's hard to take action as they're all from europe, oh well though. I'll install openJK in the meantime

I'm sure most of you have encountered these script kiddies in the last few months, that buy shell-booters or use old exploits that still work because of the old game engine to crash servers. What's a recommended response? Server protection doesn't do too much as it's easier to crash a server than protect it, considering how effective udp packet spoofing is. there are also exploits to dodge flood protection on a server. Does JKHub have any ideas how to counter these kids, maybe through taking legal action or logging their IP's and getting their information? Taking down their servers is illegal, and that's not really recommended, but it's quite annoying to deal with skiddies who crash servers and then talk big. Wish ravensoft would make jk4 and just move from q3 already :/

I think I just went blind from all those colors

lol.
