Hackers get access to the server all the time

Post by chris87 »

Hackers get access to my servers all the time and it is getting annoying. I don't have the rcon in the config file. how are they always getting in?

Some recommendations:
set sv_allowdownload to 0 (disallows download of server.cfg altogether)
Did you give anyone your rcon password?

If you're using ULX:
Check your user groups, do groups like user have permissions they shouldn't (like ulx adduser)?
Check ulx logs, has an admin set their group?

Could you give me your server IP, so I can check it out?

all of them are offline right now cause I don't even know where to begin with restoring them. so if i have allow download se tot 0 can people still use fast dl to download maps? there is a lot of mis information out there.

here are the server ips. They got every one of my servers.
Deathrun 216.52.143.59
murder 74.91.124.196
bhop 74.91.113.11
prophunt 192.223.30.35

sv_allowdownload 0 does not effect fastdl.

No, the rcon box from the control panel probably has nothing to do with it.
And yes, set sv_allowdownload to 0.

Also, I was looking through your fastdl. It's very messy and there's a lot of things there that shouldn't be there (paid scriptfodder addons and server lua files)

I set all that up to 0 for now. I can't get the servers working at all now :( At least from the back ups. guess I have to go through each one of them one by one :(

lol just by coincidence with the update a bunch of my addons broke [not related to hack] so it is all fixed now but I am afraid i have not removed the reason they got into my servers to begin with. I also fixed the fast dl and removed all those files like you pointed out.

On a side note I really appreciate you helping me out, especially since I am just some random stranger. So thank you to everyone that has replied to the server.

edit: removed half of my post because I just remember you had said your rcon isnt even in your cfg.

I do however recommend getting a good anticheat for your server, if you do not already have one. If you do, what anticheat do you have?

!cake anti-cheat is the best one I've used, and I currently use it. https://scriptfodder.com/scripts/view/460

Anti Cheats aren't worth it, all they do is just check the players autorun folder and if they have anything that doesn't match the servers or the default one it bans them, and they cant detect real hacks.
