The attack works on non-lan servers. Generic firewalls won't pick it up as it is just a request to join so its only a small number of packets each time.Quote:

its not a DoS in the classic sense, typically a DoS is where you will bombard a server with requests so it will attempt to respond to app requests and get tied up, either crashing or just not responding to any other requests.
Whereas this attack does tie up resources, but using an exploit itsself.
think of it like this, getting stabbed once might not kill you, but it will slow you down, however getting stabbed 20+ times is more likely to kill you, because you're bleeding out alot more, however instead of blood, the server is bleeding packets into itsself.
Just so you all know, Rec0's app is incredibly unstable. This is the reason that it was never publicly released until AFTER the 1.08 patch was released. The [HIV] clan had the app on their servers for a long time on 1.07, but it wasn't released because it crashed so much.
so why does nobody work on a devicatorv2 DLL thats more stable, rather than keep working on this unstable app?
Sapp is getting close to having many of the same commands.
sapp is shit. period.
no offence termy ^^
It's not THAT bad. If you think his events system lags to much, maybe you could be nice and tell him why?
sapp could be good, but its very user unfriendly...
no name shortcuts, so you have to use the player number... you have to use actual coords to tele...
and many other commands that are just tedious to do...
I think it's easier then using rec0 for teleporting. You don't need to use actual coords to teleport.
You would put that in your init.txtCode:t add "teleporter name" x y z
Most commands you can just use player index's to do.
\pl = player index list. Not that hard using player index's.
\s 0 20 = would set player 0's speed to 20.
You've obviously never used Devicator...
What you've just said is even more difficult than rec0's app.
Set teleporter: /st jcap "teleport shortcut name" < adds location to my current position; no coordinates needed
/t jcap "teleport shortcut name" < teleports me to the shortcut that's specified in the database (_d)
Teleporting can also be done relative from your current position (/j jcap 10 20 50); or
teleporting can be done to absolute real-world coordinates (/t jcap 55 40 10)
No need for player indexes:
/spd jcap 20 < would set my speed to 20
/sc "jcap" j < sets my name as a shortcut to j
/spd j 20 < sets my speed to 20 with the shortcut
/spd j* 20 < sets speed of anyone whose name starts with j to 20
/spd j??? < sets speed of anyone whose name is 4 letters and starts with j to 20
There's no need to check the player indexes every single time you want to run a command or every time someone joins or leaves the server.
