uMod - Possible for a plugin to be access via RCON? - Rust

Posted 6 years ago

I recently found out that someone has been seeling one of my plugins that I'd written for my personal Rust server. The person selling the plugin was an admin and had RCON for access to the game server but not access to the control panel or hardware/OS.

My question is: is there a way to access a servers plugin code via RCON - or any other obscure means he could have got the code?

Thanks in advance,

Reb.

if they are a game developer, they may have it. if they are a plugin developer, forget about them and delete all their plugins and spread the word! also well if they did this they could easily add something to steal all your plugins to their plugin and basically do actually whatever they want with your server.

It has been sorted - the person in question admitted to what they'd done.

I think they might have gotten the plugins from an old decommisioned server I had let them have access too for some map testing they were doing... in the heat of the moment I forgot to ask.

Anyway, I don't think any long-term harm was done as they never had access to my current server except via RCON. Though am still annoyed that someone I trusted took something that took about 6 months to develop and sold it on for £50 ($62 US) to a competing server owner!

Lesson learned.
