The Quake3 Engine had a lot of vulnerabilities that allowed for buffer overflows and Command Overflows thus causing the servers to totally crash out and kick everyone

we had done some patch work on our own servers that stopped such attacks and used them on our customers games as well to prevent our customers from being attacked

it was simple holes being patched really but i know the entire quake3 engine nearly inside and out as well as mapping and map scripting etc..
