If the server is protected by password the attacker must know the right keyword to exploit the vulnerability. Although the server supports the banning of the IP addresses is possible to spoof packets and bypassing this limitation due to the lack of handshakes in the protocol of the game. ####################################################################### =========== 3) The Code =========== http://aluigi.org/poc/stalkerboom.zip ####################################################################### ====== 4) Fix ====== No fix ####################################################################### --- Luigi Auriemma http://aluigi.org
