Chiyu suggested that I annoyed people a tad in my server when they became threatening. One user with the nickname "Orbitz" came in and saying "Console sux" inregards to the UT announcer tool I was using on my server and I kicked him, he then came back and said "go ahead, ban me, your regret it" seeing the opportunity I did just that. About 3 minutes later Apprehend went mad with loads of joins, My anti-rename script went mad reporting tons of renaming attempts. It just kept going and going.

I then took some screenshots of the IP in the apprehend log showing the attack. Later that day Orbitz tried to join my server (and finding himself banned) and then launched another attack. This time I could see his IP and the IP of the attack next to eachother and it was an exact match.

Tons of attacks:


An attack, with his join request just above:


As you can see, this user is a threat to JJ2. I would suggest all users add him to there JJ2 Banlist. Also as added protection it might be in your best interest to add him to any IP Ban list you have on your Firewall/Router.

I will be in contact with other list server admins to see if we can do anything to help stop him, maybe by disallowing him access to the lists we can slow down his attacks (maybe).

If you wish to keep him banned from your servers from his current IP for good, you can download this "banlist" file and unzip the contents into your JJ2 folder:

I will continue to try and find out if theres any other people actively doing this, abuse like this is just destroying the fun of playing jazz 2 online.
