How long is the server down for?
#1
Posted 02 November 2012 - 10:48 AM
I was just wondering if you knew how long the server was going to be down, because I would love to crack on and finish my CMC submission house. I am missing my favourite server already (as I bet loads more of your UK clients are), and was just wondering when it is likely to be back on again.
Many thanks,
LightningBlitz

We know it will be back up soon so we just play the waiting game.
UPDATE: Incase you didn't read it elsewhere, it's due to a heavy DDoS. Please be patient.

Meanwhile. there is a temp server made by Scratch and a little Ponyville is sprouting up there so if you'd like to kill time, go log in.

okay yes, he gave us the reason. it's due to DDoS attacks. "I am being DDoS'd very heavily, so I need to leave it down. I can't predict for how long, so there is no point in asking. Maybe for good." I seriously don't get why this person holds such a grudge toward us. nor do I really care, because it's just pathetic that one does this. Such childish behavior... it's unbelievable. the "maybe for good" kind of worries me a bit. well. I guess he know has gotten to the point he always wanted. Good job mate! I hope you feel proud about what you have done..I would also like to know, but if they don't want to tell us, even if they don't have a reason, We should respect that. As Distortion said:

It's not just the haters, but just wait out the time. Ddos attacks can do a lot of damage and they take time to be fixed. I am pretty sure brohoof has it under control so just wait out the time. Brohoof knows what they are doing.

oh tsar.. you make me feel sooo safe <3It's not a continuous attack, but until such a time that we can find a more-permanent solution to the problem we will be leaving the server down.
It's when we get Ddos'ed many times by many people...So, what exactly is a DDos attack? I've never heard of them before.

Only "working" system (and that is solely because we do have a rather limited playerbase compared to brohoof)
is the one that has been set up for VinylCraft, where the IP is not being given to low ranking players unless they
have followed instructions in the appropriate thread
(No offense to any cmc and lower, we do not think less of you, we are just weeding out sock puppets)
(also, to any admins reading this, I am not using this to advertise, only to prove a point)
As long as the IP is available for the general masses to read, it does not matter how many times we switch server

You (The attacker) repeatly sends scrambled/corrupted login packets to the victim, in this case, our server, forcing the router to send a return packet and wait for a response, which, of course, never comes due to the fake IP. This hogs up the router's memory, effectively disabling it from actually recieving the real login packets, in this case, us trying to log in.
That explanation is half true, meaning the attacker uses not one, but multiple controlled routers to spam packets in sequence, making it harder to trace the actuall computer's IP.
BUT, to use that way, one must first hack into the individual routers before being able to use them as a synchronized attack, so only more experienced hackers are able to achieve this.

I think that this has gone on long enough. What is being done is totally illegal and needs to be stopped. The main thing is trying to find the IP of the 'ringleader' of the DDoS attack. Ratty should then speak to a solicitor and file a lawsuit against the criminal under Section 3 CMA (Unauthorised Acts with Intent to Impair) of the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
Its time we made a stand, and time that we got our server back!

If I recall correctly, we just waited it out until the little snot ran out of money to pay the DDoSer.

OF ALL THE DUMB THINGS..... THIS IS THE DUMBEST THING!This reminds me of a time well over a year ago when the Yogscast had a freebuild server and an invite-only builder server (although non-builders could still visit). One day we start getting DDoSed like crazy -- a sustained attack that would knock the servers out for several minutes, give a few minutes of reprieve, and then start again. It lasted non-stop for several days. We finally were contacted by the culprit: a guy who apparently made an actual LIVING off of being hired to commit such acts of internet sabotage. Turns out his "employer" was some kid who got banned from the servers. The kid was willing to stop the DDoSing under the conditions that he would be unbanned from the servers and also be set up for a private face-to-face meeting with the Yogscast.
If I recall correctly, we just waited it out until the little snot ran out of money to pay the DDoSer.
#56
Posted 05 November 2012 - 12:31 AM
@Lightning: Yes, I fully agree that Ratty should report this to the authoritities and ask them to to do an IP trace. Problem is, if the packet spam is being sent over multiple IP's, it might take a while to find out the culprit. DDoSing is a criminal offence.
@Plains: That kid mad, bro?

Lol no it's just a parody i made up of a song.Are they really DDoSing every other brony server out thar? If so then this might just be collateral. However, if the other servers are untouched we must assume it's a direct attack.

But than again, running a DDoS takes a considerable amount of skill... unless it was like the kid stated in the previous case.
Actually, if you were the attacker, unless they ran an IP trace, they would never be able to trace it to your computer. So yeah, it IS possible.
Also, note that DDoS attacks come in waves, not one steady stream. They tracing? Cut the packet spam = safe.
You could easily derail just about any comunnity whithout them knowing who.

People do strange things when denying faults. Our best bet is to wait it out. But that could take near forever.
In fact, I guess since the Builder forums are seperated from the rest of the forum threads, you COULD tecnically host a server and only tell Builders about the IP, but that means innocent ponies die... Including me.

The brony fandom will not go down so easily. Plus, we are only one server amongst hundreds. Bringing us down won't accomplish anything.If in your case, for the anarchy to start, they would have to bring down one of the comunities flagships, meaning EQD. Which they daren't. So I guess we're back to the drawing board.

Calm down. There's no need to be talking about "End of the Server" and "Taking down the brony fandom". That's going a little extreme for 1 minecraft server getting DDoS'ed.
