Hi there as im just beginning to get a grip of all the things on my RP server will have on it im starting to think about the security im going to need to prevent any type of attack.
So the question is what measures do i need to put in place to stop attacks on my server, forums, website etc.


would help if i can get feedback from current name server owners on what have done in the past or have in place now or things i can put into my game mode/scripts etc ive seen a script called GUIS which was put into our code to prevent dialog hacks. anyone like to elabourate on such hacks ?


thanks


Suggestions / good idea's so far :

- dont upload any .pwn files

Well, it won't really stop an attack but tips:
- Don't put your GM .pwn, so that even if they can use it, they can't edit it.

You'll also need something at the network level (firewall etc) to limit connections and prevent DDoS (but I wouldn't worry about that unless it actually happens to you yet). Make sure you encrypt all passwords and don't use high privaledge MySQL accounts (I'm sure most people only ever use one account, which is VERY bad).
