I'll give you the brief history and then I'll ask how it happened:

I'm playing on a CTF clan server when a player by the name of [NEO] XCat
jumps on.  He's a big mouthed quad camper who made everybody upset.
Finally he was kicked off for being a badass jerk by one of the clan
members.

He came back on with the name [NEO] X and got back by lagging the server
to hell.  He warned the players that he would packet-attack the server
and time everybody out.  Well, he did it and laughed as players were
popped off one by one.  I didn't get bumped probably because I'm an LPB,
but surprisingly he managed to bump himself off.

My question is how does a person do something like this?  Is it a simple
command within the Quake II console or does it require a separate
program.  Is there any way to track his IP?  Thanks in advance for any
help you may provide.

If a man says something in the woods and there is nobody around to hear
him, is he still wrong?
