People dossing the server, admins doing anything to stop the lag?

[Bilbo]

Let me make a simple fact known here.

When the SA:MP Server temporarily shifted to the new port, It was LAGLESS , really, after a very long time, The server was lagless with no lag on it!

And the fact that the attacker during that day was only attacking the SA:MP server port of 7777.

[S1mon]

A big request to admins. Will say it in Russia, as Gandalf should understand it

Если этот ДДоСер живет в пределах 500 км от Москвы - скинь айпи, через бывшых коллег со спецслужбы пробью где живет и разберусь конкретно

There is no need for this post if nobody can understand it except russian people. Then PM it to russian people only. Dont post it on the forum where everybody can see it. Also, the rules says to speak english only on the forum.

If this DDoSer lives within 500 km from Moscow - Throw ip, through former colleagues from the security forces break through where he lives and will deal specifically

Yes, I'm sure people want gandalf wants a silly mad kid to be killed.

Seeing you're an expert on the subject, I'd recommend sending a PM with list of suggestions and solutions to the owners.  :roll:

Maybe I'll do so.

Thats true, How about permanent shifting?

[Ted]

Simple as it sound and everything may be glorious afterwards Matt, the person will find out we've moved and start all over again. We've also had this IP for some years now, and it'snot going to change because of an upset individual(If this is even the cause). Same goes for port changing.

[Gandalf]

The shifting of the port is how we got rid of the DDOS attack.
Initially it was directed towards the 7777 port only, and the 8777 was free of problems.
After a short while both ports were targeted, then a wider range...then it stopped. Probably he ran out of credit.

S1mon, thanks for the offer. We do have our own connections as well there 

To the OP: a DOS attack when found is standard answered by a routeblock and abuse report to the provider with low-level logs. A DDOS attack that exceeds a certian amount of bytes is caught by the data center and handled the same way.
This leaves as only possibility a low-traffic DDOS/DOS attack that causes lag. It is annoying, but other than that causes no damage. Any known source is blocked and reported, that is all we can do.

The only option would be to change the server to an opt-in system where you would have to verify your IP to a firewall rule before being able to enter. This would severly limit new players as well as players with a dynamic IP who would have to go through the verification process daily. For large business applications that is fine, for a game it is not feasible.

Not the first, or the last..through these years it is proven that a lot of people are loyal to this server for friendship and fun.

So yeah..

Argonath RPG - coming

Many Database like MySQL or sqlite does have anti-DDOS software. But those software cost money then just buy and install them. I dont know what for database you are using but sems easy to hack beacuse 50 attack in one day is a record. Argonath is a popular coumminty and deserve better security. Also about ''Admins dont do anything'' Kojak picked some moderator just for make so the server gets more help. Maybe he picked wrong players. Back to DDOS attack again. If the server build many server like ''Facebook or Google'' Not exactly but as a example then no one can attack it with DDOS or hack it. For a half year ago someone hacked Aragorn hacked. That hacker banned all and i think all know that hack. In 2010 a hack made so they made a backup. You see the server changes and grows. But seriously needs to plan a better security.

Gandalf:

This is something you need to think about before RS5 is coming. Beacuse i know in RS5 you dont want this lag or hack thing. In RS5 you want a new start,new script,new thing and anti-lagg. That means you need to take a meeting with your Staff Crews and make a plan. Beacuse this is serious and need to be fix before it is late. Also back to admins again: I have seen many player are saying ''Manager/admins got a life too'' Then did they not pick wrong job? If you got a life or cant be online. Then why not just leave the job and be inactive so other active people can takeover. I see alot of people need help and many of them need managers. I know some managers have a other timezone that is good but what about them in Europe? They just have a account and never log in. Gandalf as i said you need to have a meeting. I think Kojak need to have a extra eye on those new moderator. I have seen some abusing but not shout in /p or something just have been quite. Beacuse i dont want to make it big. I hope i see some changes soon. =)

[Ted]

RS5 is a new script. As for things being Anti-lag, you will only know when the script is put through it's paces, just like the regular server.

And after that send me S1mon's IP and I will do the same to him  :m4:

Script-kiddies are not pr0-hackers. There has only been a "handful" of the top tier data-stealing attacks on Argonath since it opened. The current security has been upgraded recently and it is pretty solid after I was talking about it with Gandalf. DDoS attacks do not allow people to gain access to a website, the only purpose of a Distributed Denial of Service attack is to take a website or server offline by flooding it with data requests.

I am not pr0-hacker?

Nope, just a pr0-scripter.
