Long story short, a disgruntled banned player repeatedly obtains our rcon password and bans everyone on the server.

Apparently, our "ftp upload link has the password in it"

What the heck does this mean, and how can we stop it?

Thanks in advance.

Rcon password has of course been changed, all root passwords are changed on everything except the FTP to our website, which we cant get to atm because of a "brute force attack"

The names of config files as well as their targets have been changed as well.

Finray, did you want me to point out all instances, or just select ones?

Mercenary, besides waiting out the denial of services - is this website hosted or do you have physical custody of the server?

your best friend is going to be the provider, so don't bite off his head yet.
in the meantime - i don't recall who made the rcon for CoD, but i'd check software versions, their forums, for updates and/or fixes.

good luck . . .

Goodness people the assholes were sniffing packets. It didn't matter what the password was or what they changed it to. Server provider had (has) poor security.

How is the password being exposed? Have you actually put a link somewhere on a website with the FTP password in it?

No, there are no links with the password embedded in them.

I appreciate your help though guys, thanks.
