I apoligize in advance if this seems unimportant or if anything resembling this was ever posted in the past. I looked through the archive and came across nothing. In playing with a friend of mine's code (dcd3 by Volatile) and combing through the bugtraq archives...i came across something that i found interesting. In May of this year, Ambrose Feinstein said... "actually, using the attack on yourself for the same set of servers would work too; if a netquake server gets a connection from an ip already connected, even on a different port, it drops both." Assuming this is correct, what stops anyone running a variation of unix to send a spoofed packet to the quake server of anyone they dont like and having the quake server drop both connections? This would cause that person pinging 300+ and getting wooped by the person from the edu pinging 130 to have full control over whether the person could play or not. Just a thought....Lemme know if anyone can produce this with some success. Mike mj@efnet MyDesktop Networks - http://www.mydesktop.com
