JediDog Fix

Description
It'd be lazy to just quote the previous version reviews, wouldn't it? It's tempting, though. Don't think anyone has ever done triple-nested quotes within a review on the site since it's birth. Let's make history!

[quote][quote][quote]This small utility is designed to prevent the use of various exploits that unsavory users might use to crash your JK2 1.04 server. There is a detailed list of the exploits that are now prevented, and the author goes so far as to say your server will now be uncrashable. I'd not go that far, since people can always cleverly find new ways to make your life miserable, but in any case it should certainly help. Unfortunately according to the author this fix is not compatible with other server mods, which is a shame. Be sure to check the read-me for information on the specifics of what this mod fixes.[/quote]Version two of this fix introduces a few more exploit fixes, including a bunch of crash fixes as well as some improved logging. Make sure to check out the read-me for a full description of the features and updates of this mod as well as how to use it![/quote]Version three is here with some more updates! It also seems to fix some bugs introduced in the earlier two versions, so if you've already been using this fix make sure to get this new version. Check the read-me for a list of new updates in this version.

~Inyri[/quote]So, what's new since v3?

Updated anti-flood and anti-force crash protection, removed features relating to the name crash, new client message identifying the mod to new clients (and an rcon/config parameter to disable those), and the addition of a brand new anti name crash feature; I'm guessing the old one was flawed and it was simpler to rebuild than fix. There's also an "enhanced" defense against the 'fake clients' denial of service attack, which oughtta be enough to stop most attempts at server crashing dead in their tracks. I ran five seperate attacks and none of them worked, could've tried something a little more.... 'intensive', but chances are anyone who'd waste their time attacking a JK2 server doesn't have that kind of firepower anyway. It's more than sufficient for everyday usage.

If you've been looking for a small security-themed server mod for baseJK2, then this means no worries for the rest of your days- wait, no, sorry, that's Timon & Puumba. But the point still stands.
