    ShellShock is a new exploit of old code found in many servers and it is very dangerous to susceptible machines. Are rf2 dedicated servers vulnerable to ShellShock and if so, how can we protect our machines?

    Shellshock only affects the bash shell and therefore applications using the bash shell. Since the rF2 dedicated server is windows only I highly doubt it is vulnerable to those attacks. Unless it would come with it's own bash and I have never seen evidence of that.

    That's what I was wondering- does it use a bash shell. Ok, thanks for the reply crz
