This is merely an updated version of recon0's
Query Cache. The convars have been removed, and after installation, the only time you will need to update or maintain this extension is if the protocol changes, or if the extension is updated.
Purpose: Protect the server from A2S_INFO DoS attacks. Every 5 seconds, the data in the A2S_INFO is refreshed to reflect the current values.
Changes from recon0's extension:
- Added a Linux binary
- Now allows players to connect to the server (the "null entity packet" protection recon0's extension provided prevented any user from connecting to the server)
- Extra data flag is now reported
Todo:
- Report the actual tags. Currently the tags reported is "Tags, tags, MORE TAGS"
- Fix the password bug on Windows
Credits:
- recon0 - Wrote extension code
- Afronanny (me) - updating and maintaining it
- asherkin - Provided the code to get the gameserver's steamid
