[mohaa] "Spawn Hack" and server crashes

Antonio you are right...sort of....it is a Windows based program yes BUT it
uses the rcon command to connect to a LINUX Server and monitor it....so if
you have a PC on a DSL/Cable/T1+ connection then just install the Windows
based client and it will connect to the Linux server protecting it. The
only thing I learned was that the players have to put the IP of the WINDOWS
ANTI-CHEAT SERVER in their anti-cheat CLIENT to have their files checked so
make sure the ANTI-CHEAT SERVER is not behind a firewall or if it is you
would need to open the proper ports. Here is the exact page to download it
from:

 I think this will help us all. The only downfall is people have to go
download it or they get disconnected within 30 seconds (adjustable) and it
tells them where they can download the client. People are lazy and this
usually causes your server to have less players than normal. The only plus
is at least the people left are all in favor of a 'clean' game!

Hi Shockwave,

As a supplier of game servers ( www.fragserv.co.uk
<http://www.fragserv.co.uk> ) I am worried about a new cheat that has
come to light. As we use Linux servers you seemed to be the right person
2 ask.

Its a wallhack lets u see right through walls! its in a .pk3 format is
there anyway the server could see if someone is using this and kick
them?

Regards

Hello again,

It seems that there is now a fix out for this problem.  Here are the
links to the news item and the file itself:

http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/ <http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/>
http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/download/MoHAAPatch.zip
<http://www.mohadmin.com/nuke/download/MoHAAPatch.zip>

The people involved in producing this patch still haven't responded to
my request for information about how this exploit works which is
disappointing.  If anyone has any more information about this, I think
it would be a good idea to discuss it further.  The idea of compiling a
new fgameded.so file from a Windows installation using an unofficial
patch program in order to fix an unexplained server exploit makes me a
bit uneasy.  Maybe it's just me.
