Ryz Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hmm. where begin to explain: It isn't about people using passwords, but about more 'people' trying to connect. Above the 1 ~ 40 people that connect, one person can send a lot off fake request to pretend someone is connecting. What you see when 10.000.000 people are trying to order 1.000.000 concert tickets on a server which can only 'help' 10.000 is exactly what happens. The ticket requests are legitimate in this case, but the DDOS fakes request making the server shut down clients or fail. A DDOS isn't legal, but it happens. Here in the Netherlands they even brought down one of the big ISP's. It's one of the flaws of the internet, but there will soon be Ren-X servers with protection.

Ryz Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's software indeed from what I know, but I am not the expert here. You can rent 'booters' to check your own server if it can withstand a DDOS, but also use them on other people. Second option is to create a botnet by infecting multiple PC's which is a lot harder and not the method used now (afaik). The 'why' is biggest question, if we only knew... CT, when it will be up. will have good protection. It was able to withstand most attacks in the past, so just wait for that one to be up again.

Totem Arts Staff Cronus Posted June 28, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted June 28, 2016 I've been staying on top of the attack and as of right now we are immune to them. Been getting attacked for two days and seeing little to no damage from it. Let me know if anything comes up, Im doing my best to keep this server ddos protected.

Madkill40 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 What if the reason CT got primarily ddos'd... Was because it was an EU server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryz Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 What if all the servers the past weeks got DDOSED, nomatter where they were located.... Oh wait, that's the case... Why speculate? Could be sooo many reasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Arts Staff Cronus Posted July 7, 2016 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted July 7, 2016 Sorry about the one DDoS that got through, I've refined my filter rules yet again and I think 90% of the attacks are blocked now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
