Unreal-Server Protection -= Nepthys_v1.0 =-

[}TCP{Carnage]

Winged Unicorn and Zora released their second Unreal server security tool: Nepthys. Nepthys is a server-side mod able to detect and automatically block DoS and DDoS attacks, with a couple of other neat features. Nepthys builds forth on the technology of Kerberos. It protects Unreal servers from many attacks like (distributed) repetitive join/query attacks, zombie bug attacks and fixes several bugs in the Unreal server network code. Nepthys also logs IP addresses and allows moderators to kick or ban players who cause problems. Nepthys is the first tool that is able to balance the server bandwidth between players and downloaders. In this way downloaders never have to cause any lag.

For the complete list of features, please read the included manual.

ow i like this...the server/player bandwidth thing sounds great...there were often alot of problems with kerebros, this will probably fix many of them...

i wonder if they changed the B to KB for the dl readouts...

Anyone else been having issues at map change? Seems nephtsys is blockin peeps at that time. happened durin our last two matchs so I had to go back to kerberos. My own ip was blocked, and I am the only one joinin from that ip (happened to like 8 peeps from both clans).

Yes we had the same problem at our last match ...

I'm beginning to wonder if passwording has something to do with it in some kind of strange way (yes cee)

The map change issues are being worked on among other things from what I've been told. I've also mailed my own findings and issues about Nephthys to the authors so hopefully they are taking in my feedback well.
