We still got hit, repeatedly, even after having the following config:
-rcon in command line (not in server.cfg)
-server.cfg renamed)
-dfens
-rconlock
-kac
-Uninstalled eventscripts/estools
They could still simply retreive the rcon password or any file on the server. And yes dfens was loaded, it didnt log any kind of files being retreived related to it either (not that it matters, rcon was in command line)
We checked FTP logs with the game provider. Nothing.
In the end we've reloaded the server, possibly some kind of rootkit installed (even though we checked everywhere).

Any idea at ALL how someone can get the rcon password when the only way to see it is through gamepanel in the commandline? (which they definitely arent using)

eXDee! Your sI Aye I am TG's Tech anyway when installing D-FENS did you remember to edit the .vdf and add the correct location for the .dll?

eXDee are you using sourcebans?

We recently had a problem on all our servers where a rogue hacker messed up a good bunch of our stuff by gaining the rcon passwords through the sb.

We think the problem was even though we ran the updater to go to the latest 1.4.6 some bits didn't update properly so we had a mix of old (in some cases very old 1.4.2) and new files. Annoyingly in most places it was showing it as 1.4.6 so we didn't figure this out until it was too late!

Since we've verified the update we ('knock on wood') haven't had any problems yet.

Apologies if this has been asked/explained before, but how do I load this on Linux? What should be in the vdf?

Are you the root from the server? If yes, maybe it´s madness but check for problems in your own PC.

I've only installed this on Windows but I'd guess this is the procedure:

Follow this link and download the binaries to your addons folder: linux binaries

Modifying your vdf depends on what you're running on the server:

add: dfens_mm_i486_l4d.so (If you're running L4D)
add: dfens_mm_i486_ob.so (If you're running Orange Box, TF2 etc)
add: dfens_mm_i486_og.so (If you're running anything else, CSS etc)

Hopefully that should work.

In my log I get the following:

[META] Failed to load plugin addons/D-FENS/bin/dfens_mm_i486_og: File not found

This is for CSS and have it pointed to the dfens_mm_i486_og_i486.so file

Are you pointing it at this: dfens_mm_i486_og_i486.so or this: dfens_mm_i486_og.so?

It should be: dfens_mm_i486_og.so

Also you should check the install path, the linux binaries don't include all the addons sub-directorys by default. Do you have a D-FENS folder in your addons directory?

Its going to "dfens_mm_i486_og.so". I do have a D-FENS folder in addons with the Linux binaries in the bin folder.

The D-FENS.vdf inside metamod has the following:

"Metamod Plugin"
{
	"alias"		"D-FENS"
	"file"		"addons/D-FENS/bin/"
}

[Allstar]

You need to have the vdf point towards the file.

So edit your vdf like this:

"Metamod Plugin"
{
    "alias"        "D-FENS"
    "file"        "addons/D-FENS/bin/dfens_mm_i486_og.so"
}
