Blocking [x] due to a 'server full' attack - Jay_ - 13.04.2012

I was testing for an issue on my server and needed to connect 70 NPCs to trace a bug for debugging purposes.

I successfully connected the first 30 NPCs until a message occurred displaying the following:
"Blocking 127.0.0.1 due to a 'server full' attack (2)"

Log:

Code:

[13:18:16] Incoming connection: 127.0.0.1:52979
[13:18:16] Incoming connection: 127.0.0.1:52980
[...]
[13:18:21] Blocking 127.0.0.1 due to a 'server full' attack (2)

If this is a protection tool against server flood attacks, perhaps an exception could be added for local IP addresses?

Thanks.

This have been already reported. I'm wondering how they'll handle it.

Don't connect them all at once, connect maby 10 at a time.

Connecting one NPC each 100ms works too (for unlimited amount of NPCs).

Guys, this has been added in some 0.3b/c version. I never knew a correct delay tho.

I bet Kalcor won't tell because bot spammers can make an easy workaround knowing that.

Tried 2000ms, won't work.

It seems there's some obvious security issues regarding NPC's that haven't been addressed yet, anyone with a prompt and the samp-npc file can fill up the NPC slots as he wishes on any server, to be honest NPC's should only be allowed to connect from the server's local network...
