RE: undefined packet sphere 56b and 56c exploding.
yea sure, this image seems to be someone exploiting the server using fake packets to crash sphere. And that's exactly why I always recommend everyone update to latest sphere: security

56c have some security vulnerabilities, and 56b even more, so they're not safe to use. Many years ago they were safe, but as the time passes, there's always an small group of retarded ppl finding new exploits, where these exploits get fixed on source code and servers using this fixed build will be safe, but servers not using this fixed build will stay vulnerable

just taking a quick example, there's a way to crash any 56c server in just 1 second (of course I won't say how), and this doesn't occur on 56d where all (or at least most) these problems are already fixed. So security is a must-have for any server and should not be considered a optional feature, there's no way to keep an server online if it is vulnerable to let ppl take it down
