Hello, is there someone that could be run the SmaugFuss in Windows (with cygwin+gdb) telling me the IP/PORT?

I need to test a possible crash with multiple connections that produce this error:

"accept_new: select: poll: Bad file descriptor"

Tnx
bye

Could you maybe give a little more information on what exactly you are going to do? Multiple connections seem to work fine in most cases; have you found some kind of special problem?

I want open 50-100 connections in 10 seconds, and close them all in one. Mud crashes... Can I try with you?

That's odd, my MUD just got spammed from a connection (someone from Italy). At least 60 connections in a few seconds.

Sorry Sorry Sorry, I call you in mud, but i press enter in my test program for mistake.

I think that there is a big vulnerability in all smaugfuss socks.

Sorry again Zeno.
I'm desolated.

That's what I thought you were going to do, some kind of DoS attack. As a general rule it really isn't very polite to do that to somebody without being very clear about what you're going to do beforehand. :)

It wouldn't surprise me if the default SMAUG networking code has vulnerabilities like that. Is there any reason why you're looking for Cygwin MUDs in particular?

Probably because Windows might have less of 'control' over sockets, IE the limit is not as large.

Ok that's is possible, but this mean that all the people that run smaug under windows can crash with a simple DoS attack? :( I cant belive.

Well, if you were referring to my MUD... no it hasn't crashed recently, at all.

So strange. I'm 99% secure that smaugfuss v1.4-->v1.7 under cygwin the mud crash with the "accept_new: select: poll: Bad file descriptor". The latest version (1.7) is more stronger, and 500connections are necessary sometimes. Are you sure tha your mud don't fall down after my DoS? Do you use cygwin?

When this happens and the MUD crashes, do you get any kind of log message besides the perror report?


The man page for select will complain if you try to select on sockets that are closed.

The accept_new function adds all connections it thinks are open to the in_set before selecting on it.

Therefore, if some of those sockets are closed but the MUD does not completely correctly remove them in the right order with respect to select, the select call will fail with EBADF which is the error message you are seeing.

So, I'd like to know if any of the connections coming in are getting through and closing before the MUD panics, or if it's the first few that cause it to die.

I can report my logs...

Smaugfuss 1.7 logs are different from smaugfuss 1.4. I report the two logs.

FUSS 1.7:

Yes, is an exit:

if ( select( maxdesc+1, &in_set, &out_set, &exc_set, &null_time ) < 0 )
{
perror( "accept_new: select: poll" );
exit( 1 );
}

...but how I can prevent this? I think that's a bug. The descriptor cant become "-1"... this can be only if there is a problem imho.

Tnx
