Master Server being spammed?

That's the gayest stuff in the world. Might as well block his BLID too if you can, if his IP is dynamic it would end up changing sometime.

not only that, but if possible make it log both, then log whatever they are used in combination with (same IP and different BLID, logs the BLID)

That's impossible because the blid is retrieved from the auth server after the connection is successfully created

Correct. Networking at the packet level isn't even exposed to the scripting engine.
The "ping" packet is only a few bytes for a ping and a reply. I'm not exactly sure how big punch packets are because my knowledge of Blockland's networking is a little old.
