— L2OFF Authentication Server Today, I want to share my modified version of hAuthD with the entire community, completely FREE and including the full Delphi source code. This version includes several improvements focused on security, performance, account management, and compatibility with L2OFF servers. Main Features Anti-DDoS / AntiFlood: Application-level protection against connection floods, abusive requests, and excessive connections per IP. AntiBrute: Protection against repeated failed login attempts, including configurable temporary IP blocking. PreAuth Packet Pool: Optimized authentication initialization to reduce server workload during large bursts of incoming connections. Account Registration: Players can create accounts directly from a compatible GX client, including email registration. Password Change: Players can change their passwords directly through a compatible client. Proxy Support: Dynamic GameServer IP routing through SQL Server, allowing customized proxy configurations. L2OFF Compatibility: L2OFF authentication support, including C4 mode and different GameServer connection configurations. SQL Server Integration: Account management, authentication, bans, and database operations. Fully Configurable: Security settings, connection limits, logging, and additional features through hAuthD.ini. Full Source Code: Complete Delphi sources included, allowing any developer to study, modify, and compile their own versions. Security protections are configurable and help mitigate application-level attacks. Proper network-level protection is still required against large-scale volumetric DDoS attacks. PRICE: $0 — COMPLETELY FREE! One last thing... Some people seem to forget that contributing to a community isn't about having a fancy title, special privileges, or an administrator badge next to your name. I've contributed more to this community without a single special privilege than some of the people running this forum have throughout their entire time here. And I want to make something perfectly clear: NOBODY is going to stop me from releasing my work for free. ABSOLUTELY NOBODY. While others are busy protecting their little positions of power, selling closed files, or deciding who deserves recognition, I'll keep doing what I've always done: developing, improving, and sharing real work with the community. Respect isn't earned through administrator permissions. It's earned through contributions. You can have all the administrator privileges in the world, but that doesn't automatically mean you've done anything meaningful for the people you're supposed to represent. I don't need a title. I don't need special privileges. And I certainly don't need anyone's approval to keep contributing. One final warning to the entire community... Make sure you download my free releases while you still can. Most of you already know perfectly well that there's a certain administrator on this forum who has repeatedly deleted my free releases and banned my previous accounts. And let's be realistic: he'll probably do it again within a few days. That's exactly why I always recommend downloading everything I share as soon as possible. My posts could disappear at any moment, and this account will probably end up banned, just like my previous ones. Everyone knows exactly who I'm talking about. There's no need to mention his name. From what I've seen over all this time, it seems like his only activity on this forum is showing up to delete my contributions and ban my accounts. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting to see him make a genuinely useful contribution to this community. But here's the funniest part: You can delete my posts. You can ban my accounts. But you can't erase the work I've already shared with thousands of people, and you certainly can't stop me from continuing to develop and contribute. Because at the end of the day, whenever someone downloads my source code, learns from it, modifies it, or improves their own server thanks to my work, my contribution has already served its purpose. And no administrator can erase that. Some people need administrator privileges to feel important. All I need is my source code. The difference is simple: they might control a forum, but they can't control what I'm capable of developing or what I choose to share with the community for free. MediaFire hAuthD-main-new — GX-Ext
