This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------ABBF9766327424DEDA02313E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 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. -- WOMEN'S LOGIC If a man says something in the woods and there is nobody around to hear him, is he still wrong? --------------ABBF9766327424DEDA02313E Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="Rabaa.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Talal (Anthony) Rabaa Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Rabaa.vcf" begin:vcard n:Rabaa;Talal x-mozilla-html:TRUE org:Rabaa Computers & Electronics version:2.1 email;internet:Rabaa@Home.Com title:Entrepreneur tel;fax:(613) 596-4667 tel;home:(613) 596-4667 tel;work:(613) 596-4667 adr;quoted-printable:;;370 Forest Street=0D=0AApartment 504;Ottawa;Ontario;K2B 8B3;Canada x-mozilla-cpt:;0 fn:Talal Rabaa end:vcard --------------ABBF9766327424DEDA02313E--

He probably has an application running at the same time, one way to track people like this is by BW-ADMIN. It's a mod that you can install to filter out text and ban ip's and members and restrict. Here's where you can download it. I'm assuming you're a server-admin? http://www.barrysworld.com/zarjazz Talal (Anthony) Rabaa wrote in message <36EA2099.48F680E4@Home.Com>... >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.

The BW-Admin works great. You're correct about the separate application, it's probably something like a ping attack with a Out of Band packet twist to it. mH
