Referee monitor in LUA

Admin tool, which helps you to check, if just authorized referees login as referees to your servers. This tool logs all logins/failed logins. It compares the verified referee password from your server.cfg with the password entered on the server.

So now your are able to notice

1. if the servers password is safe
2. when your referees logged in
3. if they are really the persons, who they pretend to be
4. if people tried to hack into the referee console
5. who spreaded the password accidently on the server

It logs all login actions into two files:

1. contains verified and possibly hacked logins
2. contains all failed logins

The logged informations are:

1. guid
2. ip
3. playername
4. entered password
5. login time and date

You can set your prefered field delimiter, which helps you, to import the logs to EXCEL easily.

Requirements

• Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory, (patched to v2.60) Splashdamage.com
• ET Pro 3.2.3 or higher etpro.anime.net
• write access within the etmain folder
• a referee password - set in your config (set refereePassword "password") [Server configuration]

Installation

• Download the LUA script ref_monitor.lua

• Add the following command to your server.cfg to call the script on server start [check also ETPRO:Lua Mod API for further informations]

set lua_modules "ref_monitor.lua"

• Open the script file in your prefered editor and

set DELIMITER, if you want to import the file to EXCEL, (set to ";" by default)

set SAFE_FILE or leave it as it is

set WEAK_FILE or leave it as it is

DELIMITER   = ";"                      	-- set a delimiter char to make the list compatible for imports to EXCEL
SAFE_FILE   = "successful_logins.txt"   -- contains verified AND possibly hacked logins
WEAK_FILE   = "hacks.txt"		-- "hacks.txt" -> contains all failed logins

• Save the file and upload it to the etpro folder on the server.

• Ensure, that the script is allowed to create the log files on our server (check File Permissions in ../ET/etpro/.. )

Important

• Please check the file size of the log files from time to time and delete it if it gets too big.
