Up until a couple of weeks ago, I'd rarely see someone even try to crash my server, and even if they did, it was just trying to spam or whatever. Now, just about every day, some eastern European person will come on, get pissed off at something tiny and before you know it, it's "bb server" or "ip crash" and they crash the server instantly.
Seriously, what's with this sudden flood of people who can instacrash a server? And why is it almost always Russians or eastern Europeans? Is some popular website suddenly posting lots of exploits?

There are several ways to instacrash a server, and it's not by propspamming. I'm not gonna say exactly how we do it, that would resultin server-armageddon. I'm going to list the common semi-effective ones: Just disable motor, ban the hl2 jeep, turn off ragdolls. Should keep you safe from the skiddies.
From what I've seen a way to do it is something to do with a batch file that makes "unconnected" to connect to any source server. A way I heard to fix it was stop anyone with that name (so only people can connect) from connecting and instantly drop them like they are banned.

It doesen't have to use the name unconnected, easily bypassed.

Why don't you explain any way to help prevent this from happening? It's only hurting the Garry's Mod community

Because, i don't like revealing the whole story, just how to stop it.
And i think this would work, but i'm just philosophing:
[lua]hook.Add("Tick", "SteamIDValidate", function()
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if !v:SteamID() or v:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:0:000" then
v:Kick("Invalid SteamID or BOT")
end
end
end)
[/lua]
Would appreciate if someone could tell me if it works.
Because in all servers has one european asshole that screams
"LE PETTY MCMOLDYCHEESE HAWHAW" and crashes the server
Oh ya? So now there is discrimination in here?! Our glorious motherland will destroy your server.
But seriously, its not very hard to block the skiddies, whom are the majority of all idiots. There are a lot of admin mods out there that block the most common ways, such as prop-in-a-prop, spamming masses, ragdoll galore and so on.

I originally thought you knew what you were doing. Now I know you don't. Players aren't accessible to Lua until they've properly connected.
Use the other hook, the playerconnect or something

Why don't you go back and play with your FapHack and let me handle my misstake.
Personally, I'd be more worried about the people using E2 to fuck with Flatgrass. Yesterday, this guy was exploiting E2 to turn our screens red and make the sky one of those trippy textures that repeat stuff.
Map colour changing got patched awhile ago and the sky becoming trippy was likely because someone set it to be invisible which should actually be patched.
Well, apparently it isn't. Maybe a new way was discovered?

Why play with FapHack when I can play with something more fun?

Box storm incoming.
Gmod crashes at the drop of a hat if you know what you are doing. Disable motor and get a good prop protection and blacklist then you should crash alot less.

It's not hard to check the bug tracker and use the exploits reported to Garry to crash servers, not that he gives a fuck because half of them have been posted for months.
Most of them are vphysics problems. Go bug Valve too for almost doubled chance of shit getting fixed.

I suppose i can remind Mr that this thread is about help against server crashers not a contest of how to crash.

"I'm not gonna say exactly how we do it, that would resultin server-armageddon."
I'm sorry, it really seemed as if you were bragging that you had/have some kind of "secret" exploit that only you know.
@Python1320 I'm sure they will handle it asap.

Someone failed. I'm not the only one who knows them, ask any guy in PoKi but good luck getting it out from them. And "bragging"... Really? TIME TO USE BRAIN...What would happend if everyone would know about it? Now do you get why i don't tell people? It'd be like handing out Nukes to civilians, so how do you like me telling people? That would be helpful wouldn't it?
Driving around in the airboat w/ turret vehicle crashes servers after about 25 seconds every time I try to use it.

Lol? You don't need scripts for the tool exploits. Tsktsk, Anthrax -.-
The people who crash the servers aren't the worst. Once I was playing Flatgrass with about 7 other guys, we were just building, then some kid came on. He was shouting through his microphone, saying "LOLUGUISR GONNA BE SOMAD LOL" literally pronouncing "lol" and all that. Then, he placed a duplication he'd apparently made right in the spawn. What is was, was a barrel, with a log on top. The log spun around very fast. Because of it, every time we spawned, we died. The admins got killed, too, and then we were all dying so fast. It got to the point where the admins just shut down the server.
It was sad
