How to limit failed RCON logins in CS 1.6

Type sv_rcon_maxfailures 5 in the server console and an IP is banned after 5 wrong RCON passwords.

sv_rcon_maxfailures

Number of failed RCON password attempts after which an IP is banned.

sv_rcon_maxfailures <number>

Examples

sv_rcon_maxfailures 5

Stricter limit on guessing.

Arguments

numberRequired
Failed attempts allowed before a ban.

What it does

Each wrong RCON password counts as a failure. Once an address reaches this many, it is banned for sv_rcon_banpenalty minutes. Lower values stop brute force sooner but are less forgiving of typos.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
