Last Update: Comment added ( dtremenak )

TorBlock

TorBlock is a standard plug-in that is shipped with the BZFlag Source code.
It automatically bans any user that joins the game who uses the TOR
anonymity network.

TorBlock was added in to the 2.0.9 CVS source code on 12/20/06, and will be
released as part of BZFlag 2.2 when it is released.

Usage

When loaded TorBlock loads up the TOR master IP list from
http://belegost.mit.edu/tor/status/authority, and will from then on
disconnect all users from any of those IP addresses. the TOR network is not
intended for game play use and is generally only used in BZFlag for Server
Spaming or other disruptive effects. TorBlock will automatically update
it's ban list every hour with new IPs. TorBlock works independently of the
built in Banfile capability of BZFS so it will automatically allow users
from blocked IPs as soon as they are removed from the TOR master list.

History

TorBlock was the first plug-in to do a dynamic ban feature that pulled from
a central web repository. It was made in responce to a Tor Based attack on
the popular game servers.
