I'm able to perform this attack, I have not attacked any server but I have the resources to do it. If any of the beta testers or developers need me to target a test server for analysis please let me know. This is a very annoying and serious issue.

There is a network level fix against IP spoofing. Contact your hosts.

You can't block this 100%

The thing is that this attack fills the available slots on your server so new users can't connect, they get the "Server is full" message. It is also not useful to ban the IPs because they are randomly generated by the source (You don't get two same IPs on your logs). So on your code the BlockIpAddress function will never trigger.

Finding the tool that is used for the attack would help a lot I guess, or maybe recording the packets.
Indeed kalcor could help us help if he would respond and ask for neccesary extra information.

Hello,
there is a way to block it on the hosts end however if a legitmate player tries to join during the period of the bot spam he would also be affected (banned for at least 1 hour on certain iptable rule sets. So its not like we can't block it we just dont want to cause the server owners alot of problems with people being banned because of this as it will appear offline to them users.
