Community / Re: When people make servers can they be hacked
« on: February 18, 2017, 07:56:52 pm »If your concern is whether or not someone can hack the server and take control, no.
If your concern is whether they can hack your computer through your server, definitely no.
What they can do is spam it with enough conflicting information that it disables itself and cannot operate. This is called a DDoS or Directed Denial of Service. Napoleonic war's archaic DDoS protection makes it particularly vulnerable to such attacks. On the other hand it is unlikely to happen as DDoS are most usually directed at major companies not gaming servers.
Your computer however is protected by modern up to date protection, and your router is doubly protected.
There was an old scare that by hosting a minecraft server you could be hacked through the port that minecraft required to recieve information from the players. This was completely false. You cannot be hacked through port forwarding. (which is a process used to host a minecraft server, and to host a mount and blade server)
Tl:Dr your server would most definitely not be invulnerable, but your computer, your files, your passwords, are safe behind a nice big firewall.
