Does that explain how they connected to and crashed servers from that address? Was it just a server listing script, or did it actually connect to games and they found some way to exploit it?

If you have access to the site logs, you should be able to find out who it was, or at least their IP address. Also, how did they find it? Did you have links to this script or tell anyone about it?
