Hot off the presses, several server owners have noticed their servers crashing a lot lately and some of those have noticed it's not a random happening. There is at least one individual who goes by the name "YuTuS" who crashes servers for "fun". This person is using an exploit that is becoming more common-knowledge which allows anyone to easily crash an FDS (both Windows and Linux). YuTuS has been banned from the RG network, but he and others with the knowledge are still capable of crashing servers...until now.
This is a very serious issue similar to the one that prompted Westwood Studios to release the 1.037 patch, Blackhand Studios examined the exploit and has developed a patch which prevents it.
Kudos to Blackhand Studios member Silent_Kane, who located the cause of the crash and has developed a binary patch in the form of a small EXE file that you can run which will alter your server.dat code to prevent this exploit from taking down your server. Yes, this fix does technically violate your EULA, so it's up to you whether you want to risk EA's attorneys or script kiddies with a new toy.
Get the patch for the windows FDS HERE.

Below is the readme file for the fix:

It is not working,
when hardartisthitter and hardartistdwarfe along with c0brala were crashing servers yesterday, they took all the servers down on wol & gsa including the n00bstories, black-cell, fastcon, renwarz, unrules, twa, the pitss. He is also circulating a list of WOL server IPS.
they has been giving the program out to a lot of people. I am renting a server from alkaline, and he told me to try the patch, but the patch locks up the FDS, and when its not locked up, the fds can still be attacked by this exploit.
Does anyone know anything to stop it? Some people said something about a router or firewall...

well alkaline told me that its not an udp hack. He even legit udp scanners that are used for security can take down the server, and all it needs is 1 packet.
[GSE]Doomsday is the only server that is not effected by the attacks, hackers are unable to take this server down, you guys shoulda ask them waht they uset o prevent the attacks. Their server is on gamespy.

Its an exploit, a bug etc. People know that there is a bug that will break the FDS, so they exploit that bug to their advantage :rolleyes:

This patch is for a different type of UDP-based exploit. We are working on a patch for this new one.
