Unreal Server exploit

[Johnny5_Hull]

Hi Guys,

 

we had a client today log a support ticket asking for help as someone keeps deliberately crashing their server, UTGOTY.

 

The person was bragging about this in chat, saying that it was an exploit in the unreal engine and theres nothing that can be done. Also in the chat he claimed that there is no way to trace how he is crashing it, or that it was him doing it etc etc etc

 

Has anyone come across this, or heard anything about this as it's a first on me.

 

The server is running Athchecker 1.38 and ServerCrashFix V1.0.

 

Any help appreciated.

You should pour through the unrealadmin.org site and check for info on this or post in their forums.

Already have done, and it looks to be a known exploit in the Unreal engine code. SOmething to do with sending fake logins via UDP, thus allowing the exploit of a number of mods.

 

Just wondered if anyone else had come across it, and if so how they had dealt with it.

 

I will post more once I have got to the bottom of it.....

 

TY for heads up anyway
