Flooding console

[Pejic99]

Greetings,

I am currently experiencing an issue with flood attacks on my console, specifically the "ping of death" method, which involves players spamming the console. This results in significant server lag, leading to an increase in ping for all players. I am seeking recommendations for measures I can implement to prevent such flooding in the console and effectively address the problem.

I would appreciate your expertise and any recommendations you may offer in this regard.

Thank you for your assistance.

Show us the console output or paste some logs and maybe we can know how to prevent it.

They are mostly flooding with this commands "ping" "pingservers" and "mcache"

What I need is a server console that blocks flooding commands such as "ping", "status", and "mcache".

[SmilexGamer]

How are those commands slowing down your server? Maybe the machine that is hosting your server can't handle it well?

[Pejic99]

I guess its not those commands then , I think they are doing something like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0sRyELVQJk&ab_channel=DNG%2a
