Server attacks?

[SamOz]

I'm seeing a lot of servers with the same "name" in red lettering, basically an accusation about some guy I never heard of. There's at least ten servers, all with different IPs and maps. It's as if they'd been hacked. Anyone know about this, what's going on? Is this a security issue that I should be worried about for our server?

They're showing on the list of servers for protocol 69.

There were 19 of these a few minutes ago, now there are 20.

It's an old exploit which was patched ages ago. (It basically allowed you to overwrite rcon)
Unfortunately, some pkg maintainers screwed up and automatically installed server w/o user confirmation.
This is why you see those "Tremulous 1.1.0 servers".

Now, when you combine said exploit with a perl script, you can write endearing messages to all your loved ones. I see in this particular instance, One.Floww has a fan.
You can safely ignore this.

Very confused ethics anyway; accuses someone of cheating, and does it by cheating using an exploit.

Would "ps -A | grep tremulous" ensure that you aren't hosting one of those "Tremulous 1.1.0 servers"?

Edit: I think you'd need to "grep tremded" instead.  I'm not hosting any 1.1 stuff, so I wouldn't be able to test this.
