[Requesting Lock] I'm starting to get really damn pissed off now....

[Robby_Wilson]

I thought you dealt with this hacker....?

[Ted]

Names please.

[Marcel]

DDoS is a pretty hard thing to mitigate. You can try and routeblock the hacker, however you will not be able to block the attack if it's done from multiple computers around the world.

No names, random dude keeps joining and crashing the server....

Not only the SA:MP server, also everyone on TeamSpeak is randomly dropping.

He is failing at DDOS, keeps it up for about 10 seconds.

How do large organisations protect themselves from these type of attacks? Surely, they are victim to the same.

Do we have any subject matter experts here who can suggest options we can take as a community to prevent these attacks?

Create a solution to stop DDoS attacks, patent it and you will have more money then Bill Gates ever had.

In other words, there is no real way to stop DDoS attacks.

As a matter of fact, i am, and i believe Gandalf is too.

Large enterprises have dedicated hardware firewalls (like servers) that monitor and filter all traffic. Some are based on pattern recognition, some detect malicious traffic otherwise. The cost for such solutions is usually high, not something that would be inside the scope of Argonathrpg.

EDIT: Yes, there are more ways to deal with it. However, it will mostly just be waiting for the attacker to get bored or run out of resources.

Large organisations must have a infrastructure / layer of protection to ward off these attacks? Otherwise, they would have the same fate as we do against these script-kiddies.

There must be a technique or approach we can deploy across our servers to ward off these threats or at least mitigate them like mdeRooy touched on.

(Off topic) Holy shit Frank, you're actually smart? O_O

Thanks for explaining MdeRooy.

Are there any other solutions we can explore which are low-cost but in return effective against these attacks?

Can we not just install software firewalls onto the server and configurate them as you mentioned?

I'm thinking long term strategy here, since it's likely that the community will grow in the future and we should be in a position to protect ourselves against these attacks.

My approach is to send the police knocking on their doors.
