===============
1) Introduction
===============


Alpha Black Zero (ABZ) is a third person strategic shooter developed by
Khaeon (http://www.khaeon.nl) and released in August 2004.

2) Bug
======


Like any existent game, also ABZ supports a maximum nuber of players in
multiplayer mode.
The problem is that players are not limited by the server which crashs
if too much clients tries to join.
Then the possibility to emulate a join request with only one UDP packet
makes the bug very easy to exploit.
