Re: Help me? malformed input...
The error indicates that a client was sending bad data. In other words data that isn't valid for the SmartFoxServer protocol.
It's not a big deal, unless this happens very frequently. Sometimes a client application over the internet may attempt to connect to a service and send data to see if the other end replies. This is usually the cause of those errors.
cheers

This happened to a certain frequency. I think it's attacks because there is no history of players with that IP address in the database.
Have some form of filtering the bad protocols?

Re: Help me? malformed input...
It could be an attack, maybe some spam bots... it's difficult to say. Just sending malformed data if not going to affect the server unless it's a major flood, which requires lots of bandwidth and "zombie" machines. (hijacked vulnerable servers)
The best way is to use a firewall to filter out the attacking IP addresses.
