Post by: Bianconeri on October 04, 2008, 07:16:25 pm
what is happening with server?

had 5 server restarts in 15 mins,
and one time it had some kind of ping hacks,
everyone same lowest ping,
which was around 2 times higher then my normal ping(now it was around 120)

Today, October 4th 2008, at about 23:00 server time, server kicked me out and wrote : server is full. But at this time there were only 56 players online. I was not the only one who had problems to log in, and some people told me ( i dont want to say names now) that the server got attacked by DDos more than once this day.

I wanted to post this now because i think i am not the only one who has problems with logging in  in now. could anyone please take care of it?

I'll quote something I posted around:

Quote
I've heard that a guy called " Netzeek " or something is DDoS-attacking popular SA:MP servers, specially official ones.

Generally, the players, when server gets DDoS'ed, get this:
  • Game Mode Restart, then keep showing " Server is full " and retrying infinite times untill server is back up.
  • Game Mode Restart, then keep showing " Server is not responding " and keeps retrying infinite times untill server is back up.

Quote
Also, as far as I know, DDoS works sending packages to the server host, jamming it, then the players get all the stuff above.

I think that DDoS does not steal info from server and stuff, it just sends packages to the host, jamming it.

And also, I readed this in another forum about DDoS attacks in various SA:MP servers:

Quote
If you are un-aware, official status signups have started up again at http://www.sa-mp.com. With that done all current official servers were removed from their official status and had to re-write a new application for their server- one of those serves being Prysmax. If you are un-familiar with that server, it is the brother of Netzeek that run the server and he has chosen not to re-apply. Instead of re-applying he chooses to attack SA:MP servers to get way he wants.

Netzeek is known for attacking SA:MP before, he has done it in the past to get his brother server on the official list so he’s going to try it again. Netzeek control a huge set of botnets, mostly reigning in the South American region.

There are currently attacks on the SA:MP servers. As these are DDOS attacks, they are hard to solve.
We have been able to find the way in which the attack is done, and are busy stopping them.
However it will take some time until we reach the point where further attacks are not possible.

Time's 12:47 (10:47 CET) I logged in and there were quite enough players.Until server closed the connection for me, don't know if it happened with everybody..But anyway i believe that we only need to wait for further notice.
Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: ReZurrecti0n on October 05, 2008, 12:09:49 pm
I've created anti-cheat scripts that make it impossible to hack on my gamemode, health, armour, weapons, teleport, vehicles, etc. However, my gamemode is designed to eliminate all uses of vending machines, fast food, pay n sprays, mod shops, etc. Even pausing or just any way you can avoid taking damage when someone has you pinned will result with the anti-cheat taking action against the player. The key is just to out smart those hackers...

The same way with DDos Attacks, IF I get how DDos Attacks work (Not TOO familar with it), then I have a solution to stop DDos Attackers in thier tracks & make it pointless for them to DDos the protected server. However, there is a reason I haven't gone into much detail about DDos Attacks: But if interested in coding a possible solution, just pm me from any offical admin account & I'll be more than happy to share my secrets

I decided to post it here, only because of actual problems...

Yesterday about 21:30 just 40-50 seconds after [Rstar]Che setted me house, my computer froze and the only way was to reboot it...
I thought - "something happend with computer, ill try again", so i did it, and computer froze again just after connect...
I tried single player - its working good, i tried other samp servers - its working good...
Only at our server its making my computer frozen, just a 5 seconds after login. It happens even on temporar server (with 7778 port)...

Anybody can help me? Ive got feeling that its something wrong with my account maybe?

mhm honestly.. although it would be great if Argonath could show its quality in official list: since it has been official , a lot of DMers and non RPers came to the server... you need an escort of admins to get save across the street.. XD

Can be the server.

The server is on a server, and the temporary server is also on that same server.
The only change in the port.

The did attacked the ingame server - what is placed on the server with also other servers on it.
So that ones also got attacked.

Server have to get calm, give it some time.

Its probably the house name , it can make your whole computer freeze and  you spawn on it. Only way to get rid off it is to jump as soon as your connected or get a teleport and then /namehouse newname.

Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: Bonez on October 06, 2008, 05:56:46 am
it could be fake clients, when a client connects and obtains 999 ping the server waits a certain amount of time before closing that connection.

aka, they send fake bots what quit right away then they stay for a while.


this could be the problem.

he had bots
after his spam he crashed the server

Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: Aragorn on October 06, 2008, 09:08:05 am
This is not a ddoser who attacks official servers... As DDOSer comes from Argentina, and this bots are our old friends from Australia...
With Australian bots we'll deal... With Argentinian DDOSer too, just be patient a lil...

Australian botter has only one route to join server which was unblocked 2-3 days ago... So thats not a big problem to set his last route to blocked again... :)

Makes me really pissed off, why cant they not just leave us alone  :mad:

Its normal... They have nothing to do anymore... As they continue attacks even after route unblock means one thing: they hate Argonath, but Argonath is still cool... If we were really crappy server - hardly they would attack us... So just take it as a popularity "award"... Microsoft is under attacks every days... None any other has that... This is popularity's second side...

Eh seeing this allways makes me to ask the same question:

What they win if the flood,crash the server ? :conf: What's their point?  :conf:

I dont think if they will like if someone comes to their home's and start to damage their good thigs!  :mad: :mad:

The point is to set negative to players against Argonath RPG... Trying to make the server owners to shut down Argonath RPG portal... In this case they look from their position... As if there will be someone who disturbs their servers with bots what will they do... From their position they will shut down servers... This is what they think we will do also...

People are different... Some do not want to damage others developing, others wanna screw everything others do cos they cannot manage the same... Usually aggression comes from people with mental instability and feeling of being a loser... From this feeling they actually do not understand that someone can come and damage their house cos as losers they feel that they have nothing to lose more then they already lost... Communism with its Red Revolution was based on the same... :D

This attacks makes us as community only more stronger, I think.
People are helping eachother these days, and we better contacts.

That's how I look on it....
So use these attacks, and help eachother :) (btw, I dont mean that this have to continue  :D)
Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: Nexxt on October 06, 2008, 02:41:01 pm
These days, with our attacks, I see a lot of people talking: "We are attacked again!" , just when there is some hacker in the server.

To explain the situation, based on Aragorn' posts:


This is not a ddoser who attacks official servers... As DDOSer comes from Argentina, and this bots are our old friends from Australia...
With Australian bots we'll deal... With Argentinian DDOSer too, just be patient a lil...

Australian botter has only one route to join server which was unblocked 2-3 days ago... So thats not a big problem to set his last route to blocked again...

- post by Aragorn


When there is a hacker on, this dont mean it's an attack

When there is an attack, you wont see this in main chat.
DDoS can only be recognised by unstable high / low ping , pingdrops etc.
The admins know when there is an attack been, and they will solve it all the time, dont worry.
So there is no need to post that there is an attack again.
The attackers are from Argentina like Aragorn said, and the bots from Australia.

Posting a new topic of it is useless, and will only 'create' more confusion then there already was, and it's spam.
This is also 'spam' , but I posted this to let some people of u know the difference between 'attack' and 'bot'

The bots can be recognised by 'strange names' and loads of new players joining in some second.
But can spam message like 'This server sucks' or something like that.
But there are most time admins online who kick them, banning is unpossible cause the bots are not players, and they will clean the server when possible.
Also creating a topic of bots is not needed

I hope I informed some people enough with this.


(This is not an action to be a wannabe admin, I made this to inform people and tell my annoying of all the topics)
Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: Proxan on October 06, 2008, 04:26:08 pm
Actually there is a easy way to prevent the spam , 2 players change name to the bot names during the attack, then they wont be able to connect... But well  :neutral:

passwourd would be only given to players the admins know ...
this way we wouldn't have bots?

I guess that isn't likely to happen... Anyway, server owners could make a server not registered neither in internets list neither in officials list... If we do that and bots still come up... Then be sure someone around the neighborhood is having contact with the botters...

Or even block their region's routes...  :( But this one is not likely to happen also...  :)

passwourd would be only given to players the admins know ...
this way we wouldn't have bots?

Let me tell it for the last time!
The BOTS, are coming from Australia - They have nothing to do with the DDos and server downtime.
The bots will be kicked ingame, bots cant join when server is off.

The only problem now is, the DDoS attack - Coming from Argentina
The gave the server time-outs, and that is why I was offline sometimes.
Right now the main admins are installing new software to prevent attacks.

This have the consequention that the servers will be OFFLINE.
This means the servers with IP: 89.149.196.238 and ports: 7777 and 7778 are DOWN.
And again, this is only for security updates.

So after the updates, they will be back online and there have to be no further attacks anymore.


(Please read the news posts and other news what admins posted, like some of Aragorns' posts)

I guess that isn't likely to happen... Anyway, server owners could make a server not registered neither in internets list neither in officials list... If we do that and bots still come up... Then be sure someone around the neighborhood is having contact with the botters...

Or even block their region's routes...  :( But this one is not likely to happen also...  :)

Give them the IP is enough.
And hiding IP is unpossible

The IP is on:
- Teamspeak
- Site
- Player know it.

So it's not a way to solve.

I got a silly idea and im pretty sure the answer is no but here it is

Why not opening the Alpha test server unlock it let us see it ^^

Just saying......

Not ready yet i guess...And only betatesters will be able to get there i guess...We don't even know who the betatesters will be. Patience, that's they key to success. Our community is great and strongest than any other, we love Argonath RPG and we show ti everyday. Nothing will make us bow ;)

Betatesters will be picked up when BETA server opened.
So wait for ur turn to become betatester.

you attack them, take down a part of them, they will regroup and do more shit on us. if anybody knows who's doing it (some admins do), do not tell anyone, as we do not want more shit to go down with them. did you enjoy 3 days of the server not being up? no you didn't, so do not even suggest of hacking them, because if they found this and reported to proper authorities - in some countries, feds could come knocking at your door..keep it to yourself...

89.149.196.238:7777 is the MAIN server. Due attacks Main admins have showed us to this other TEMPORARY server: 89.149.196.238:7778..

sorry to mention this but whos idea was it to change only ONE digit in the port?
Then leave it right on the server that was attacked?

Comon people we asked for this.
Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: SugarD on October 09, 2008, 06:36:13 am
Bonez is right. It may slow down the attack, but it still spams the server with packets, ultimately slowing down the server itself. Don't forget too that a one digit change in the port number is still an easy settings change for a DDoS'er...
Title: Re: A DDoS Attacker ´?!
Post by: Aragorn on October 09, 2008, 08:33:00 am
Let me get it straight...

He does not attack both servers but only one main... Second was down due to the software test running, we did to check how attack works itself and what are the possibilities to stop it... As it was during attack the capacity was going to 100% which caused the second crash as well... It is repairing easy just wait...

As about botter, he appeared only when we unblock one of the routes he used or he finds the new route to use... So he has nothing to the DDOSer... And botter actually is not a problem for us... Just a matter of one click and he is gone...

DDOSer is using the RakNet bug in pinging servers of master list... That we checked by the packets his infected computers were sending... DDOSer does not need to join the SAMP, or even to have a SA:MP on the infected computers... To find out the DDOSer is too hard and almost impossible, as it is DDOS attack - the attack which comes from thousands of infected computers, which does not mean he will be among them...

However the attack can be stopped... But it will take for us a time...

I understand that for you DDOSer is spoiling the fun of playing... The same for us to run a normal server... But from other side we have got a good experience with this kind of attack, as its not a usual DDOS attack and it helped us a lot in discussion of the new game master list, where we will not set the same system as RakNet is running...
This means that for our own game we will be already secured from such kind of attack... And actually it is good that he showed the leak in RakNet system of running master lists now and not after we release our multiplayer to get the same problems...

We just ask you to be patient...

And guys, thanks a lot for staying with us and for your fighting... We really appreciate it and will do our best so that it will come to normal work as soon as possible...

I've created anti-cheat scripts that make it impossible to hack on my gamemode, health, armour, weapons, teleport, vehicles, etc. However, my gamemode is designed to eliminate all uses of vending machines, fast food, pay n sprays, mod shops, etc. Even pausing or just any way you can avoid taking damage when someone has you pinned will result with the anti-cheat taking action against the player. The key is just to out smart those hackers...

The same way with DDos Attacks, IF I get how DDos Attacks work (Not TOO familar with it), then I have a solution to stop DDos Attackers in thier tracks & make it pointless for them to DDos the protected server. However, there is a reason I haven't gone into much detail about DDos Attacks: But if interested in coding a possible solution, just pm me from any offical admin account & I'll be more than happy to share my secrets

Comon people we asked for this.
We have two options. Create a temp server on another machine where players do not have their accounts synched, or creating it on the same machine with sync.
We chose the second one. And at this time have found a way not to lag out the server by the attacks, even if they are pretty strong (60% network traffic).

We know how anti-cheat scripts work, and have seen that they can make people get punished for bugs. There for we prefer human admins to do the work instad of a script that can be fooled.

Dear people of argonath, sadly we are at a bad moment of argonath and we have much problems, but just everyone we have to bare with The argonath deverlopers while they try to fix this.

In the mean time, here's some info:

3 Argo servers ran for public atm, 1 is mainly DDOS 1 has small DDOS 1 is just now opened.

Let's label these, no DDOS = 3, small DDOS = 2, main DDOS = 1.

1 is currently being DDOS'd every 5mins to 1 hour and is being shut on and off whether it's admins or DDOS, it's better not to go there if yournot intrested in DDOS..

2. is currently unstable as there is MASSIVE lag (just happened actually) where every player has 900 through 65000 ping and is VERY unstable, we recommend not to go there but is not really being DDOS'd at the moment.

3. Is just made and is Ip'd: 78.159.119.164:7777 I very much recommend o go there it is very stable and has no unstable lag or has so far been DDOS'd and luckily seems nice, but sadly we have rarely any new players on but yet happily no hackers or DDOS eather.


Overall: Server three, i will remind you again, IP 78.159.119.164:7777 is the recommended server and is a lot ore stable than all other ones.

Also, once again: everyone i believe we should thank the developers for trying their best at this and still are working on it.

Q:Can my server be official!? Or how can I make it official?
A: No.

sorry but, if there's no way to do that, why is an oficial list and how do they get there, that's what i didn't anderstand...

sorry my bad english, i'm brazilian...

regards. :mrgreen:
The servers on the official list are servers owned by ex-betatesters / global moderators.

PartyServer Owned by Cam, SA-MP ex-developer
Valhalla RPG Don't know exactly, but Kye seems to like that server (according to himself he was addicted to GF modes)
Prysmax Its owner, netzeek has threatened to DDoS (and he has done it) SA-MP unless his server is official
Everystuff Tew Kaisersouse, current global moderator owns it
[NoV] Novocaine    Ex-betatester [NoV]HAMM3R owns that

I might be a bit wrong in the table, sorry.

Buy-official-listing system was open twice, once in april and once in may, but both ended with SA-MP being shut down (not permanently as you see). The servers that bought one in may (10th may), were promised 3 months of uptime until 10th August, now they're gone.

I'll say it again:

The problem is, that the majority decides to stay in the official server. And we all know that the official server is still getting attacked (in low amounts than a few days back). So why don't we just chill out in non-official server for some time?

Bianconeri, these attacks are difficult to maintain and control.

Aragorn, Gandalf and Sauron are doing the best they can to prevent these guys from the attacks, and by the looks, they are succeeding.
They did not "fail", as you said.

i dont blame it on them, not at all, i am happy they are solving it,
but i just heard before that they are putting in some anti-hack programm or something, and after that there has been attacks i believe, since server is down a lot

For a DDOS attack they do not need to be on server. We changed our IP, as that was the only option not to get in to trouble with traffic or bring the network itself down.
FYI: the last 7 days we used double the traffic that we use normally in one month. Without Sauron we would have been shut down or gotten a huge bill to pay.
