Luigi Auriemma

all of our halo PC servers are updated to 1.08 and we have had people contact us with "threats" about crashing our servers, plus being able to show us threats by actually crashing a server.

seen as you seem to be the man in the know Luigi, can you give me any info on possible combats for this? or even the program itself? we are unable to get the name of this program, and therefore i cannot take a look at it myself, just wondering if anyone here was aware of it.

the person making the threats calls the program "random box"

Thanks in advance.

version 1.08 fixes all the vulnerabilities found by me plus another one or couple of one (if I'm not in error the changelog talked about a "problem" with some bad chars in the nicknames).

brandinimp reported a problem about the sequential usage of my *loop proof-of-concepts (although the bug doesn't seem related to them) which causes the crash of the server after about 250 sequential connections.
maybe take a look at that post:

Thankyou very much
