New Crasher of ANY Source Dedicated server

Hi, friends!

Yesterday I wrote to linux <at> valvesoftware.com about the problem, but
have no answer.

I wont publish the full description of the problem as it is very
simple to realise and lets anyone at the server to crash it.

So all I wanna know now, who can I send the description in Valve to fix this?

Thanks,

Nikita Bulaev

Re: New Crasher of ANY Source Dedicated server

Hey Nikita, we got your email today and have a fix in testing, it should be out in the next couple of days. Our
testing has shown your reported bug effects just L4D and L4D2 so those two will have the update.

Re: Building a daemon

Or, you could just use netcat, open port, set logaddressthen read the logs
as any other without doing the socketstuff yourself. Worked very well when
we did the first pickup/gather-bot.

Re: New Crasher of ANY Source Dedicated server

Alfred while you're updating L4D engines, do you mind adding the
"Improved handling of queries" fix in there, too?

Thanks! :)

Re: Building a daemon


Or just take a peek at the code from hlxce, perl daemon.

Re: Building a daemon

I've used Python to program a WarAdmin-Daemon. The daemon get the logs
via UDP and it sends on diffrent chatcommands commands via rcon
(SRCDS.py). For easy configure i'm using the built in ConfigParser.

Here the Class for geting the Logs:

###
class UDPLogReader:
    import socket
    prefix = '\xff\xff\xff\xff\x52'
    def __init__(self, host, port, server_ip, server_port):
            self.source_ip = server_ip
            self.source_port = server_port
            self.socket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
            self.socket.bind((host,port))

    def __iter__(self):
        with closing(self.socket):
            while True:
                data, addr = self.socket.recvfrom(1024)
                if addr == (self.source_ip, self.source_port) and
data.startswith(self.prefix):
                    try:
                        output =
data[len(self.prefix):].rstrip('\n\x00').decode('utf-8', 'replace')
                        yield output
                    except UnicodeDecodeError:
                        pass

    def __del__(self):

That's what I do too (except using my own library - SRCDS.py can choke 
on RCON sometimes). I love this approach, you can do a lot of things 
on your server without depending on plugins. And you can do things 
plugins can't do, like automatically downloading and installing maps 
that are mentioned in the chat... ;)

l4d2 update

Hi,

Seems a update is out for l4d2, don't know what is new though. Might be that
fixed, but it's a required update.
