Players purposely crashing my game-server.

[SuperConker]

I run a game-server that i rent from NFO-servers (on the Source 2013 engine).


For the last 3 weeks i've had to deal with some players that are purposely crashing the server
(they admitted it to me on Steam-chat and basically told me "what you gonna do about it")

I have banned their SteamID's and their IP Addresses, but they are just creating new accounts,
and possibly using VPN to get around the IP ban.

I have collected enough proof myself to know this is done on purpose,
(and even some from the offending players them-self).


I take it they are using some kind of game exploit to do this, possibly some console commands.
Is there any way to find out what they are doing to crash the server?

And in the case of console commands, are there any SourceMod plugins that can detect,
and report what is being typed into players console, right before the crash?

Or at the very least, a plugin that can block commonly used commands that can crash servers.

Adding -condebug to the server startup line will create a file called console.log in your server folder. I'm not sure if it tracks everything on a Gmod server though.

Forgot to mention that this is the game "Zombie Panic! Source"

-condebug has been enabled on the server.

I posted about this over at the alliedmods forums as-well:

There is a plugin that can show more information about crashes like these.

This is the plugin i installed:

I did purposely crash the server after installing it (by starting a broken map),
to see if it would report something, and it successfully did.

It sadly, did not report anything for a crash i just had though.
