I think this would be caught only if the volume of data sent was an issue. I never came across a global filter on message rate per user, just per channel filters. (https://github.com/spring/uberserver/bl ... nt.py#L194)The attack type I'm concerned with here is one or more accounts sending a PM to everyone in lobby simultaneously... Can the current anti-spam catch spam if it's spread out across multiple accounts?
As said above, automated kicks/bans of VPNs/proxies by a bot is not an effective defence against server wide spam/ddos - irrespective of the flaws detailed above. A message rate per user spam filter seems simple to implement in uberserver but the number of times this type of spam was tried in the past is small and I guess no-one bothered/asked for one.
Afaik only Springie hosts are vulnerable to this and as said above it is easily dealt with (and not a VPN/proxy specific issue).Join a room with lots of accounts and now you can win every vote.
