i guess you could say rcon is "insecure" in that the password is transmitted to the server in plain text (as far as I know at least), so if someone was packetsniffing they could get the password but beyond that its not and yes you just have to set rcon_password, and then do rcon "command" quite usefull to bind a key to put you rcon password in, as it sometimes doesnt reset after a map change and as far as rcon being "dangerous", you can do way more damage to a system with amx than you ever could with rcon

Here's a better option for restarting your server when it crashes - better than Serverdoc as far as I am concerned, for a few reasons, not the least of which you don't have to "donate" if you don't want to have to download a new version every month.

quite usefull to bind a key to put you rcon password in, as it sometimes doesnt reset after a map change
and as far as rcon being "dangerous", you can do way more damage to a system with amx than you ever could with rcon
it won't allow me to "get log (internet)" because it "can't detect your internet ip address"
