Linkfish Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hi guys, We've had one player connecting to our server ( UK - The Holy Checksum ) , literally blackmailing the server. The player connected and demanded a lot of resources. If we did not comply, he would purposely crash the server, and he succeeded doing this by spamming the chat with the following example text: Eurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet DreamsEurythmics - Sweet Dreams It wasn't this text - he spammed the Avorion forum URL. The player is now banned and was using the following steam64ID's : 76561198279679854 Direct link to this guy's steam page: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198279679854 Please copy / move this to the correct forum where we deal with general player complaints. Thank you, and I highly recommend banning this player on every Avorion server there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxelware Team koonschi Posted February 15, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted February 15, 2017 Please post or send me the logs from this server when it crashed so I can fix the issue. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkfish Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hi Koonschi, Not sure how to get those logs. I checked my server back-end but the server doesn't output anything like a full log I'm afraid. Apart from some chat logs... it's windows, so console ouput is a bit limited on this one :-( I can try to reproduce it sometime when the server isn't busy. Please elaborate on how I can fetch logs when I reproduce it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkfish Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Also, is there a way to fetch the IP's of players from the logs, or from currently connected players, through a chat / console command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted February 15, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted February 15, 2017 The logs are in the same folder as your galaxy. They're called serverlog [DATE].txt. If the server crashed, there will be evidence on how it happened, even if it doesn't look like anything to you. There will be a way to get a player IP, but only through /playerinfo, which is currently only available on the beta branch (IP functionality is not yet in). You can ban by ip with /banip, which will print the ip to the banlist. Apparently this only works with non-steam networking, which is bad. I'm on this.

Excelsior Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Koonschi, I have reported the same user and sent logs in the bug report link yesterday. I was just exercising caution and not posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devious Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Someone just came by on our server as well, his steamID is 76561198367024529. Willing to provide server logs but it just comes down to that there is no limit of maximum characters which stalls the server trying to handle the request of sending a huge text.

ThunderLuck9889 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 You guys saw the "guides" on how to replicate it around the forums, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted February 16, 2017 Boxelware Team Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yes, they got reported really quick and we removed them ASAP. I think we shouldn't push this any further. The issue will be resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
