About 2232 protection methods

[Paulo Fellipe]

Hi guys.
Its been a while since i messed with rf, for all i knew the 2.2.3 version had many problems, like dupes and players being able to use gm commands with cheat engines..and they could also crash the server
by using clean files (2232), what does a server administrator need to be aware of (for general server protection)?
do we need to turn auction/mail off? are there many kinds of dupes?
what about ddos and sql injects, what can we do to stop these?
anything related to what a bad player can do to kill the server and a counter for it will be a great information
and which protections are the best avaiable? ( both paid and free)
thanks

You need to turn off Quest,Auction,Mail,Rewards.



And use Mini-Gameguard RSHIELD for Anti Trade Dupe.

not really sure about quest, dont know if it's still possible to dupe through quest,
also mail and quest and trade, and reward seem already fix in rshield module if i'm not wrong?
well either way, the good news, you can create your own protection/module from source in release section if you willing to learn,

dont want to talk about paid service, this is a place for development...
and it should be free,
dont ask about paid service here please...

First problem coming from error trade. The methods for get the error trade is using quest reward.
So you need to cut this function in zone or with SQL trigger. eVc from EQG have solved this problem with SQL trigger.
Or you can NOP zoneserver.exe

To be completely safe:

Disable:
* Mail
* Auction House
* Quest Rewards

To actually fix these issues, you can either use SQL triggers as stated above, or use the RVShield source in Releases to add other levels of basic protection. RVshield doesn't fix everything, you'll still need to add to it. In the long run you'll need someone either familiar with SQL or C++ to really help you fix these problems.
