Hmm Since when can you use eted.x86 to ddos.
no it wasnt renamed any way, was just the 2.55+ eted.x86 for multipatch…
but what are you guys thoughts on this i was laughing so hard.

It may have been the generic DDoS exploit in all quake 3 engines. If you haven’t made anything to prevent this I recommend you to read this thread http://forums.warchestgames.com/showthread.php/22936-POTENTIONAL-FIX-etded.x86-getstatus-exploit

ETeng fixes that exploit
ET 300 (might I dont know)
And gameservers.com also has this patched on their linux servers

ET 300 has all features from ET:ENG ported over, Sol, the developer of ET:ENG is working on ET 300 together with me. ET:ENG does not have a getstatus limiter, ET 300 will have several anti rddos features in the next release (coming out tomorrow or thursday). It allows for auto-block after x requests per minute, or even adding the IP to iptables after a certain threshold.

(solchanel) #5

ET:ENG has it but its not longer developed, all of ET:ENG’s features are already in ET300

Paul, I have read your http://filebase.trackbase.net/et/server/et300_README.txt link page, and would like to know where is source code from what you got binary files?

(Radegast) #7

I’d also like to see the sources, so I can begin copying them :slight_smile:

(cheesy) #8

I am unclear, will there even be an et300 due to et:legacy?

@ Dushan
I am not sure, but I think Paul told me the code is not GPL.

(Indloon) #9

In my interpretation you only need to release source code that is somehow linked to/making use of the GPL code.

Unless you don’t have ID3 licence…

(cheesy) #10

Curious, what will you do with the code?

It’s GPL. Differences is just that from version 0.1.x they have used ET:Lagacy as base for their project, but after some problems and drama they have switched to ET-GPL (version 0.5.0)
EDIT: I know 100% that at least some parts are from GPL codebase :slight_smile:

So, Paul will you respect GPL license and will you add link which is pointing to source code, like you did with link to binary files?

(Radegast) #12

You are one of the people responsible for keeping Enemy Territory alive - with etkey.org, with etmaster.net and with ET300. However, there is no excuse for breaching the license under which Splash Damage and iD Software released the source code. You must release full source code of your project.

Paul won’t release source code I think, and he has some serious reasons not to do that (eg. to avoid removing update message for 2.55 clients by some retards).

(Radegast) #15

Nonsense. The source code was released under the GPL license and it has to be obeyed. Period.

(Dragonji) #16

Well, we can debate about it, but Paul won’t release his source anyway as far as I know.

(Dushan) #17

Autoupdate code is released under GPL license so … what now, will he obey GPL license?

Sorry, but what ? Why is Paul responsible for “keeping Enemy Territory alive” ? ET300 ? Not relevant to me. ETKey.org ? This is managed by schnoog, not Paul. Masterserver ? Not needed right now, but i appreciate the good will behind that. But as with everything, Paul started to exclued people from his list he did not like. There is a thread somewhere which prooves this.

Also dear Radegast: after all your diplomatic, Paul is NOT THE SAVIOUR of et. What on earth O-o It all started with his rip off of splatterladder. Then he made the masterserver (at first a good thing, but look at it now), and now everyone seems to talk about ET300. What is Pauls involvement in this. As far as i see it is just the work of another guy called “Sol”. So what has Paul done for ET and why is everyone thinking about Paul as such a good and lovely guy. You all seem to forget on what ground Paul managed to bring these hords of retards behind him. It was as he backshot whole SL team by ripping stuff without giving the guys credit. You think this is not needed ? Well, it depends on my mood, but i have loads of **** to throw, and this is justified ****, believe me. So do not talk about Paul as the saviour of et. Is the community really that retarded ?

About ET300 and making it open source. Well, the spirit of open source movement started by Richard Stallman. What would he say on that matter ? Do “business men” care about this ?

Unless you were personally involved with the SL / TB stuff then I suggest you just stop beating a dead horse.
Paul might not be the savior of ET, but at least he is doing stuff for it. That is more than I can say about you. Also just because he didn’t physically make everything himself I’m sure he was involved in the process. Steve Jobs didn’t invent anything either.

Should he / whoever made ET300 release code if it falls under GPL license - Yes.
