There have been incidents of servers getting "hacked" and taken over. Nothing is getting hacked here. People are accepting and using scripts with obvious security flaws; deliberately planted by malicious users under the facade of helping with scripting. If you are a novice and are unable to check your scripts to ensure that nothing malicious has been placed in them, then it would be wise to stick with the official PO server scripts which are open source. Please understand that we are not and cannot be responsible for other servers. If you have a problem then feel free to post on our Help or Scripting forums. Beyond that, there is nothing we can do for you. Feel free to post questions or meaningful information but let's try to keep the clutter out of this thread. Edit: Oh, I thought it'd be relevant to mention that we recently deleted a thread because an user inadvertently posted a compromised script. It had a command, open to everybody, that would grant owner status to whoever used it then post a huge HTML message in the server declaring the new owner.
Thats kind of funny how a command implemented like that could go unnoticed, but hey, people troll. (and hack)
Well you know what i meant. Attemptingnto take control of servers doesnt have a large distinction from hacking - i know hackIng is finding security holes to insert malicious code or gain control of a system, so the i think its interchangeable to a degree
i'm sure you know that but when skarmpiss guys make servers crash, the server with 1.0.30 version aren't crashed, the ones with the new one are crashed. so control if you made some hole in servers security...(that probably happend cause anti-ddos wasn't going right)
You can easily script something to prevent that. They use the Beat Up bug, however, this isn't the thread to go into detail about it.
