When I try to pull the server.cfg or q3key (or c:\* for that matter) i get kicked and:
"server disconnected - illegal download request"

i am on q3 1.32. Is this a punk buster thing or something else? I have mine disabled and the servers I join don't have punkbuster either.

Version 1.32c of Quake 3 fixes the vulnerability (CVE-2006-2082), otherwise could be my q3dirtravfix patch applied on a vulnerable executable

well what version does it work good on? I CAN get other files from the server. I download a pak file and it went successfully. On 1.16 I get an error ( i get get it if you really want). the error occurs when I hilight the process (quake3.exe) and press the exploit button

too bad I'm not a coder but a network man or i'd be helping you

the q3dirtrav proof-of-concept is compatible with the latest versions of almost all the Q3 based games, older versions like 1.16 have small differences in the code or in the structures which make them incompatible.

would it be the compressed connection thing again that prevents 1.16 from working you think? I looked in your code for it but didn't see anything about that though.

The actual error I get after pressing exploit on the dirtrav program is:
"max_packet_usercmds"

its said twice in my q3 console then it(quake 3) freezes

if your client crashes means that 1.16 uses a different player's structure, while if doesn't download the file (must be verified with filemon running on the server) means that 1.16 is not vulnerable or requires a different proof-of-concept for testing the bug
