# NullPointerException<\/p>\n

Paper exploit prevention against malformed packets<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n

Installing and configuring the plugin is extremely simple, just follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

Download and add the plugin to your server in the `plugins` folder, once installed
\nthe server should be restarted to load the plugin. Once the plugin has run for
\nthe first time you can then configure the plugin at `plugins\/NullPointerException\/config.yml`.<\/p>\n

## Alerts and Bypassing<\/p>\n

By default, NPE will not alert staff members when a player is detected for a malformed packet, this is because
\neven when a malformed packet is detected, NPE may alter the packet to prevent the exploit from being executed.
\nHowever, this can easily be changed by running the command `\/npe alerts` and toggling the alerts on for yourself.<\/p>\n

To toggle bypass this plugin, you can run the command `\/npe bypass` and toggle the bypass off (on by default
\nfor staff) for yourself and get disconnected when a malformed packet is detected. Even in bypass mode, staff will
\nget flagged for malformed packets but no remediation will be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
