I died before the DDoS attack, like by 2 minutes.... can I still get a rez if I beg really really hard? <puppy eyes>

Another major DDoS at 1:50ish CST. I know I'm dead.

Noticed the server is off the login screen again...

Have you guys thought about implementing something like a SYN proxy like what OpenBSD's PF offers?

This would basically proxy your TCP handshakes, allowing you to set thresholds and discard bad packet and requests (or not respond to them all together).

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/filter.html#synproxy

TCP/5998 ---> <openbsd pf box> ---> eq server

Furthermore, you could inspect packet headers with SPI but this would be a bit cpu intensive.

Just an idea, it may not be feasible given your resources (additional machine/staff know-how/ease of setup). I've used OpenBSD PF with great success in many enterprise scenarios, you can even use 'CARP' to load balance among several firewall nodes.

I think Blink and his guild is behind the DDOS. I wish they would stop it

Yeah, died in Uguk from lag (Giganto) and then finally server went down, well not finally pretty quickly.

Server down as a result of DDoS?

Estharik
11-29-2009, 07:02 PM
why the hell is this the only server that seems to be under attack 24/7? there's lots of 0 pop servers on the screen why not attack one of those and get it off the list when we try and log in... do something useful if you're going to attack someone at least.

You assume too much. Forceful Entry isn't to blame for this.

Brad_mo123
11-29-2009, 07:05 PM
Yeah really, you'd think that if someone is going to hack, atleast destroy the data on the server instead of a little ddos, almost anyone knows how to do that, not proving much buddy and you know we have the IP address from one of the attacks, im no hacker myself but the IP was announced in game and im sure someone there can do something to them back :)

Majik

Get server back up ASAP dont let them win.

But it all goes back to the nature of a DDoS attack.. if they are any bit smart about it the attacks will come from many many many computers except the source of the attack :(

Can we get an official word here please? Was this really a DDoS attack or just random server whacking out and whats the ETA on server reboot?

Jify

It was DDoS. 99% sure. Server isn't down, just the "login thingy". Those that didn't zone are still in game. 8(

Do you have any basis whatsoever for this or are you just spewing random bullshit based on pointless slander. Yes we have some issues with how the server is run, and yes we are actually vocal about our dissent for many of the perceived corrupt actions we see. However, just because we are the only ones speaking out does not mean we are the culprits of anything negative that happens to the server.

Yeah, Harazzer and Blink and crew are deffinently assholes, but I personally dont think theyre smart enough to pull off a DDOS

My moneys on another server being mad at us taking their players. :rolleyes:

Any moron with money can ddos a server. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

messiah_b
11-29-2009, 07:43 PM
I got to listen in on some unnamed people who were drunk on the server last night so I know what's going on.

Basically the dev team had this idea to resurrect classic EQ and so they developed the Sux Capacitor that would allow them to travel back to 1999. It takes around 1.21 gigwatts of power which is hard to come by so they bad a deal with Libyan's to get some plutonium and now the Libyans have found out that they have been duped and are taking their revenge. The only way we can stop this is to progress through the server to 2008 at which point we can tell their in game characters in that alternate reality to never dream up p1999 in the first place and avoid the whole tragedy.

I know. It's confusing.

Brad_mo123
11-29-2009, 07:49 PM
Interesting theory, but doesnt all that require a Stargate as well, or someone experienced with sliding? No wait, we need NIGHT RIDER!

messiah_b

Dude I think you need to lay off the sci-fi Stargate and Slider's aren't real.

Edit: spelling.

Here's an idea: Don't indulge whoever is doing this by posting threads about it. Just ignore it as much as possible. I'm sure there is nothing this person likes more than stirring the hive and watching the ensuing chaos. It goes without saying that it's annoying and it sucks and everyone wishes it would stop. Do your part to make that happen by not giving the dude exactly what he wants.

Doesnt look like he failed that time. he just crashed the whole server. the virus is learning.

I just get home from watching the football games today and the server gets DDoSed. real nice.

I wonder if it has occurred to anyone that maybe the DDoS isn't from a P1999 player, but from another angry server host that is losing players to it. Just a theory.

That is precisely what i proposed was happening and i strongly feel that is what is happening... I cant see any reason why anyone else would attack the server.

My girlfriend says she wishes she knew how to bring down the server. Maybe it's a neglected wife/gf doing the ddos.

So.... just giving up for the night? Would like to have some kind of official word from a GM or something on ETA and actions being taken on this issue, 2nd complete crash since the new host that was susposed to be protected from ddos attacks.

When a server is getting too much inbound traffic to the point were it is hurting other servers uptime they will null route it. What this does is drop all traffic that is coming in for that IP address (our server). At my company we typically put the null route in place for 24 hours to let the attack stop.
