Title: Huge Server Crash
Post by: Shinzuzu on April 06, 2008, 04:56:23 pm
Today the server crashed like 3 times already, and it goes offline and like after 10 minutes its back up again. Does anybody know how this happens? I've heard it were some hackers, but how the hell would hackers make the server go offline?

Oh, and this topic is also to talk at, when you're bored when the server is offline.  :D

I'm taking a guess that the server is being attack by DDos or something, it seems all official servers are being attacked. :/

It was more painful for me as I had to co-ordinate a large scale RP event such as Rage Inc Fight Club [RI:FC] and just as we were about to begin, there was a large scale crash. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks the admins and ARPD who were overseeing RI:FC.  :bow:

Hmm, yeah looks like it. My official server list has only 1 server in it at the moment. Btw, what is DDos? :o

That sucks... why would they do that? And what if they keep doing this for like the whole day or even a week... or even a month... or even more. Then we can't play normally anymore.  :eek:  :rofl:

Hey,

Haldir was on TS: That's what he told:

Attack from Hackers, Gandalf is taking care of it.
We all know devl/admins will take care of it. Just be patient.

I would like to take this opportunity to thanks the admins and ARPD who were overseeing RI:FC.  :bow:

Your welcome, I'll come back ASAP

We are currently receiving mass DDoS Attacks.
Gandalf, Aragorn and Sauron are currently trying to fix the problem.
We will try and ban these people but they sometimes they connect with over a thousand pcs.
This causes big problems.
Im sorry for any inconvience this has caused.

it going to take awhile to track down all computers involved yet they will get banned from samp and / or get their internet provier to shut down their internet and get a fine. These attacks are illegal and are punishable by law so obviously in some time all of them will get down

also as for ip blocking - these computers and attacks may have 1000 sub attacker computers. Meaning theres going to be alot of trouble going on. There is one main attack - controls 6 computers - 6 computers control 1000 sub computers and not knowing about it , it could even be you. all come on server and mass rape the internet and transver , complety flood samp and make it crash

Okay cool, nice to see you have responded quickly.

I still don't understand why people would want to do this, I've seen DDoS attacks before for actual reasons, but why for SA:MP servers...

For example, I understand why Anonymous DDoS'd the Scientology websites...but a multiplayer mod for a game...?

Ooooo, maybe it is Rockstars (as in the games dev company) trying to stop people using SA:MP  :wow:

I was about to say that!  :neutral:  :rofl:

Anyway, it wont take long until the server will be offline again i guess.  :(
Title: Re: Huge Server Crash
Post by: X~Shaheen~X on April 06, 2008, 05:15:10 pm
its going to fry soon , i might not even bother going on as it wil get bummed.


Also i doubt its rockstar as these attacks are illegal and they could be sued.

this is just script kiddies. Testnig hacks and feeding of the sadness of others. i know how it gets for them haha, but they just do it to piss us off its nothing personnaly. its like having a drunk buddy as a dorm partner , he likes to bother you for his satisfaction.  Sadistic jerks

Post by: Aragorn on April 06, 2008, 05:57:08 pm
Shaheen and where did you take that info as we cannot find any info about attackers...
Also that was other kind of attack not a straight ddos attack on server...

No, I could easily do it, and people with no hacking knowledge can do it with some software...but I am saying that is mainly the reason why people do stupid things where they believe they can't get caught:
