PoLiX

I only see one on my directory list.

Noone lost anything. And it isn't a host issue.

Word has it Powerball might not be returning. Seems there was one casualty in all of this.

HZ back online, but on a new server so update your lists. Also since he is alive, put Priit together an update on the ips so new HZ server is on SSC; GW/T3 should be back on SSC when they recycle, and Powerball and Deva when they get back online.

A biller is probably the simplest bit of ss you can program. Why don't you guys just make one yourselves.

Pretty sure this person already used his cash for this attack. No more money involvement needed

The attack wasn't only an attack on the servers themselves. Heck, last I heard from Powerball they hadn't really detected any direct attacks on their server. They were also going after multiple nodes, and caused outages beyond just our servers. This is being carried out by someone with knowledge of networking, and a lot of hardware and bandwidth at their control.

This attack wasn't exactly a "I'm going to take down the servers today" style attack. This had thought and planning put in by the details coming in from the servers and hosts. The shear amount of bandwidth being used in this attack was put one way as "DDoS attack of multiple 10s of gigabits". It will take a few days for everything to recover, but in the mean time if anyone hears of or knows of any details, please pass them on.

Rules are rules. Advertising is illegal in most zones. Seen it posted quite a few times and I have only been in the zone a few minutes. I understand the circumstances, but he is fit to run his zone as he wishes. GJ restoring some trench to the team.

try this one? dirserver03.zip

He is... just abusing the non-ssc zones / zones not connected to the db at the moment... Downside is he might find a net-ban when everything returns... who knows

Well, based on the style of attack... doubtful connected. Just very odd things spiked up recently, then receive e-mail about all of this too.

Yea, was just curious as these were from the same subnet. Everytime I blocked went to another one.

Mind asking for a few of the IPs? I wanna see if any match the ones slamming SubSpace.co for the past couple days. Cpanel been going nuts on login fails. Doubt any connection, but just interesting nonetheless.

Well, the biller is online and operating. At least that is 1 less thing to have to worry about getting working again once this stuff is resolved.

Well, Powerball was up... but seems it caught the attention of whoever is behind this...

Logged in on my old customer account and sent a heads up to Priit's host. Gave them IPs and the datacenter the servers are in; hopefully they can help begin mitigating the problem (if they haven't already). Will post if they reply anytime soon.

Figured as much. My name isn't worth much in the game anymore, hah.

Already got an e-mail a "Polix" is in Omega Fire... lol

SS has survived this before, and will again. It is 330am for Priit, so I wouldn't expect any response for a few more hours. He always seemed to respond/act first thing in the morning (probably checks e-mails over coffee/breakfast). Until then, there are some non-ssc servers to check out. Heck, this happening 13yrs ago got enough non-ssc zones populated that SSC allowed a few more new servers to connect finally. Not that there are any major restrictions now, but people did stick around in those zones/found a new zone to play in (and yes, mine being one of them ).

I think he'd want his Chat1, Chat2, Chat3, etc. to be able to be set different colors.

Ignore public macros and/or no duplicate messages could be turned on. Could also be a message/flood limit set, being *sysop would override it.
