Exploits to the gaming engine, allowing malicious actions to cripple/crash the server
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I have reviewed a lot of traffic on the servers I play on and it is apparent that a person can get into the servers engine and cause chaos with the game settings and max out the ram on the machine causing crashes, weather changes, removal of items in game, etc.

This has been an ongoing issue and has allowed the person(s) to affect any mod'd DayZ server in any community online.

Steps To Reproduce

The actions are executed by exploiters who can make changes and bring the server down as much as they want.

The main target of these person(s) have been against The Wall servers. I fully believe they will not stop at just that community and will engage others as well. Thereby destroying the DayZ overall communities online.

Additional Information

It is my hope that regular players like myself who really like DayZ will have to stop playing due to a few others who have personal issues with the server owners.

It pains me to know that there are areas where this can be prevented. I implore the BI team take note of these issues and lock down the code. I fear that if it is not done, all the DayZ communities will be targeted and attacked. Seems like the needs of the many are in need of a fix.
