Bad rcon

Hello, I was checking logs of cstrike/logs folder and noticed that someone is sending shutdown and many other commands to my server through rcon. I must worry with "bad rcon" commands? Or they are ignored?

Code:

L 10/12/2018 - 23:35:04: Bad Rcon: "rcon 731032543 "LS" shutdownserver" from "173.44.36.160:27005"

L 10/12/2018 - 23:35:16: Bad Rcon: "rcon 731032543 "" shutdownserver" from "173.44.36.160:27005"

L 10/11/2018 - 23:58:04: Bad Rcon: "rcon 1228425355 "LS" shutdownserver" from "199.66.91.190:27005"

Re: Bad rcon

you don't have to worry, just set a very strong RCON password if you are worried and don't use much, something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
Zv$z=2g#$b:t>a(?TLuXJ6-i.Yv]w00CXyVAn:FRhiSmHkNy&(L<nX_}R+ZW1kD

and don't forget to set this in server.cfg

PHP Code:


		
			
sv_rcon_minfailures 2

sv_rcon_minfailuretime 600 

sv_rcon_banpenalty 600  

sv_rcon_maxfailures 3.

@tarsisd2 it's better to just disable rcon at all (setting rcon_password cvar to "" will disable it).

not always, some servers use plugins like gameME which uses rcon, i use softwares to monitor my servers, like HLSW and phone apps, so can't disable it

Then just make sure that it's a very secure password.
