Lots of purpose built servers are vulnerable to slowloris type attacks. Which doesn't mean that they shouldn't be fixed, just that it's hardly remarkable to find one. While certainly everyone is entitled to do disclosure however they see fit, it comes off kinda jerky to drop a working POC on the community just to advertise your unfinished competition.
- MostAwesomeDude 15y agoYou're entirely correct. I should explain that this PoC was written not to advertise Bravo, but to explain the nature of the attack to a handful of members of the community. I don't advertise Bravo -- the people that it was written for were using it back when it was called Beta, and the wider community really doesn't care about custom servers very much. Additionally, mineserver is a much better server than Bravo; if I'm plugging custom servers, I will plug them instead.
- jschrf 15y agoAgreed. Yes, it is easy to attack video game servers. Indie game servers even more so. If you want to DoS a server so that players can't die wool or smelt iron or hit pigs for porkchops, you should probably reevaluate what you're spending your time on.
