1. Hi fellow community members!
    I have no clue if this is even a Oxide error but in the last couple of days I've started to get this in the console:

    (In the following log sample I have replaced one slingle IP adress with "ONE-SINGLE-IP")
    Code:
    [1/18/2016 2:27:21 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55026] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:21 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55027] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:21 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55040] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55042] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55043] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55044] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55045] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55055] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55056] Disconnected: invalid packet
    [1/18/2016 2:27:25 AM] [RCON][ONE-SINGLE-IP:55057] Disconnected: invalid packet
    Anyone know why?
     
  2. What RCON Application are you using?

    Oxide doesn't do anything with the RCON protocol, so it'd have to be Rust. I don't know why you'd get the error, but most likely an RCON app that isn't handling something with the protocol correctly.
     
  4. I haven't connected any external RCON apps to the server. I'm only using the "built-in" server CMD.
    Could this mean that someone is trying to brute force witch RCON port that's in use as they have tried 10 different ports in one second?

    If it wasn't you, then most likely someone trying to mess with it.
     
  6. You could tell if it wasn't you, the IP Address that the RCON error gives you - is it your own?
    It could be someone trying the now-patched rcon exploit on the server which Garry fixed a few updates ago - perhaps this is the error message for it now.
     
  7. Is is definitely not my IP address. I'll take it to further notice and keep my eyes open for strange activity in the logs.
    I appreciate the quick response from you guys (as usual)!
    [DOUBLEPOST=1453158097,1453138229][/DOUBLEPOST]Hi again,
    I think i got the awnser (at least a good theory) to this thread now. I just played with my friend on the server and the "Disconnected: invalid packet"-message popped up in the console andit was my friend's IP this time. He had a really bad internet connection this day so maybe he's client tries to change the connection port?
     
  8. Hi, hopefully you can help me with this issue.

    Can't really figure out why i'm getting this error, everything seems to be in order.
    (the invalid packet error, not the .sav)

    my startup.bat file reads:

    Code:
    echo off
    :startcd steam
    steamcmd.exe +runscript ../update_script.txt
    cd ..cd rustds
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.hostname "[AUS/QLD] GreenRoomGaming" +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.password "PASSWORD" +server.identity "GRG" +server.seed 1840572579 -logFile "output.txt" -autoupdate
    cd ../goto start
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks
