�
Probably the most exciting feature is the new Licensed IP Validation page.�If you suspect that a TeamSpeak 2 server is being hosted illegally, you can use the script� to verify if an IP address is properly licensed. Due to security and performance reasons, you are limited to 10 searches every 5 minutes.
�
Update - 09 April 2007
Today, the guys from Triton CI & Associates have set up a new ticket system. From now on, anyone sending an email to sales@tritoncia.com (mailto:sales@tritoncia.com) or piracy@tritoncia.com (mailto:piracy@tritoncia.com) should receive an auto-response containing an assigned ticket ID.

Official TeamSpeak 3 FAQ Opened

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 21:03:01 +0100

We're happy to announce that the first official TS3 FAQ has been opened on the official TeamSpeak website. Besides the usual questions about TS3's release date and voice quality, the FAQ section features some interesting factsabout backward compatibility and migration from TeamSpeak 2 to TeamSpeak 3.
�
The most important information is TeamSpeak 3 will in no way be compatible to TeamSpeak 2 beacuse the complete core and the protocol itself have been completely re-engineered and the TeamSpeak 3 server introduces a new database structure. The developers intend to provide migration tools to convert basic information such as a servers name, the welcome message, channel data and password settings.
�
Currently the FAQ section contains 8 entries. If you're interested in reading all of them, please check the official TeamSpeak website.

Seasons Greetings and a Preview for 2008

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 16:37:51 +0100

Another year has almost passed. To all our community members and visitors, both old and new, we extend our best wishes for the holidays, and a warm invitation to join us again in 2008. In addition, we are happy to announce our plans for the new year.�
�
It's needless to say that we constantly work hard to improve our existing applications such as the TS Admin-Client, the TS2PerlMod, the TeamSpeak 2 Anti-Flood Daemon and the TeamSpeak 2 Webmanager (also known as T2Web). Beside all of this, we have many ideas for new projects. Probably the most exiting project is code named Optimus - a fully featured web-based management solution for TeamSpeak servers which will hopefully set some new standards. We'll publish a limited set of features and a full roadmap soon.
�
Currently, we are working on a fresh new design for our website which will be up in early 2008. As you can see, exciting things are on the Planet TeamSpeak horizon.
�
Enjoy the holidays and stay tuned for future updates!

Avira AntiVir detects TS Admin-Client as Virus

Sun, 14 Oct 2007 12:19:58 +0100

During the last two days, several users of Avira AntiVir have informed us of a possible virus issue with version 1.1 of the TS Admin-Client. The antivirus solution reports the TS Admin-Client's main executable as a virus called SPR/Tool.TSAdmin. It seems like the application has been added to Avira's signature database on October 9th, 2007 at 17:23.
�
This is a false positive - meaning that there has never been any malicious code in the TS Admin-Client. We've already sent an email to Avira hoping that this issue can be resolved without any more inconvenience.
�
Update - 15 October 2007
Today, we've received an email from Avira. The TS Admin-Client will be removed from Avira's signature database with one of the next updates.

Nickname URL-Filter for TeamSpeak 2 Servers is Available

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:05:30 +0100

We're sure some of you have noticed the recent, high rate of URL spamming on TeamSpeak 2 servers. The scenario is always the same: An unknown user connects to a server using an URL as nickname. We know that there are several applications and scripts out there that will automatically kick or ban the user, but the URL will still be seen by others in the clients chatlog.
�
To avoid this issue, Steven has created a small proof of concept application called TSQueue which uses the Linux netfilter userspace packet queue to parse all login packets sent to your server by a TeamSpeak 2 client. If the nickname includes www. or http://, the application will overwrite the nickname with a pre-defined value.
�
The application is released under the GNU General Public License (http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl.html), so you're allowed to modify, copy and redistribute the source code.
�
If you have any thoughts or feedback regarding the application, please feel free to contact us.
