What is the point of this? Follow rcon guidelines to make it secure (long lengthy password with characters, or don't share it with anyone else) otherwise don't put an rcon password at all if its an issue.

1. Some of us are still using HLSW which needs a rcon password to work.
2. This is a cvar, so it can be changed anytime using amx_cvar command and break the server.
3. Not anyone knows how to handle this, so here we go

Everyone thinks everything is PROTECT RCON PW, stop it.

There is such a thing as server.cfg
rcon_password ""
Leave blank and that's it

• Under requirements put in something about what version of AMXX is needed please.
• Given script is made for Amxx 1.9+ per hook_cvar_change, it's unnecessary.

Tested block of Amxx 1.8.2+ code without risk of infinite recursion.

#include amxmodx

public client_command(id)
{
    new buffer[8];
    read_args(buffer,sizeof(buffer))

    if (containi(buffer,"rcon") > -1)
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED_MAIN;
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
}

This snip stops the command as opposed to letting it happen and change it back again. Thought you might be able to use it.

Added. I compiled this script under 1.8.3 5201-dev.

About your script, yea it's good to know.

[Shadows Adi]

Updated the script, forgot to add the string for log.

1. Only admins with rcon access can change it with amx_cvar.
2. If you have rcon access, it's very easy to bypass this plugin.
3. 1.8.3 is not a 'valid' version of AMX Mod X. If you can't compile it with 1.8.2 (meaning you need a feature or bug fix in a newer version), you should compile it against the latest release candidate 1.9.0.

rcon cvar can only be changed by admins with rcon access. The solution: do not give rcon access to people you do not trust, it's that simple.
