(Update, since Jan 17, 2009 Zora created a Linux version of Nephthys. Runs on Rune (Linux-i386) Download here)

Features:

• Integration
  • Nephthys may be combined with any game type and any other server mod running simultaneously
  • Pure server-side mod: the client does NOT need to download anything nor does even know that there's a security mod running
  • Nephthys may be installed independently at clients to profit by supported web download redirections
  • Remote admin control through admin commands
  • Native support of win32 Unreal 224v, Unreal 225f, Unreal 226b (gold),
    Unreal 226f, Deus Ex 1100 (1112fm), Rune 107, Rune 108 (108HoV)

• Bug fixes / work arounds
  • Memory and CPU overloading attack ==> drop connection
  • Zombie (reconnect) bug attack ==> drop connection
  • Unreal engine format string bug attack ==> drop connection
  • Detect broken connections (ICMP port unreachable) ==> drop connection
  • Auto-closing multiple connections to same player to avoid server lag with reconnecting fast client computers
• Banning

  • Banning blocks a connection before opening, so banned clients can't
    even download stuff from server and thus causing lag nor can do other
    harmful things

  • Bans may block the client's server query as well so the server becomes invisible to the banned client (stealth mode)
  • Banning by IP address (range)

  • Servers provide lists of archives at web spaces where clients may download packages from
  • Clients use provided web download locations for fast, compressed downloads

  You may write an extension mod for Nephthys using it's uscript API (see detailed documentation below)

(Complete Manual).


Installation is fully automated and requires only a couple of seconds. A
manual installation to a (rented) server with upload only is possible
after a local installation (see detailed instructions in the complete
manual).


Nephthys was, is and will be free to download and use. It comes without any adware and without any spyware.


Here's the new Nephthys_v1.5a018 alpha version.

Unfortunately this forum doesn't support larger attachments, so you need to download it from my site directly:

http://zzora.altervista.org/Nephthys.html (Please be sure to download at least Version 1.4aNNN).



Note that this is an alpha version. It's fully functional and stable but
minor options may change in the future. Please give me all your
feedback to support this mod!


Go on and get fun!
