Just a quick and dirty check I did on the custom servers available for Minecraft.
The following is the list with directly the command to verify them:





the problems can be crashes or cpu at 100% and so on.

links to the tools used in the test:
udpsz: http://aluigi.org/testz/udpsz.zip
tcpfp: http://aluigi.org/fakep/tcpfp.zip
mcjoin.dat is attached, it's a normal and basic join packet

tested it against my server software which is based on mcsharp, and it puts load on cpu, and player pool gets filled up

so i just limited the connection pool to one connection per ip, and that fixed the problem

Anyways, any updates on bugs in beta version?

no, there will be no further research on this stuff due to the lack of interest... was only an experiment

there is plenty of interest, the game is just gettin going again, mc server managers will eventually come here to look for patches, and it'll be ugly, l;ol

eh eh eh I referred to my personal interest :)

as i said, if anyone is looking to patch these bugs, they can limit the connections in the connection pool to one per IP, assuming that that's how they work
It's a simple fix really

More Minecraft research would be awesome.

As for limiting connections by IP: it works, but it's not fun when players in the same house / dorm / etc. sharing the same public IP wan't to play at your server. But I guess it's definitely better than a server crash if you're getting attacked a lot.

DDoS always works. But you need a lot of IP's
