capybabra... didja read the article? What a potent attack.


Sorry to hear about your clan (not sure what that is) Cat.

[originel]

wow, that really sux. i hope you're clan'll survive this. i'm not in one at the moment, but i was in a avp2 clan for a while and a cs one for a while and so i can imagine what this could mean to you. hope all turns for the better

[TheBurningCat]

Yeah, as originel gestured the clan is for Teamfortress classic. It also has a Cs devision and a Jediknight 2 devisison

but it could all be gone..............

Heres some stats:

We've calculated the cost of the data transmitted to us during the initial assault to be in excess of AU$26,000.-- With over 284Gb of incoming data in the 27 odd hours of the initial attack before the servers were taken off the air

capy, I'd highly suggest reading the full article on the DRDOS attack, it uses an overload of REAL traffic there really is no way to just put up a patch that says ok these packets are bad. With a DRDOS attack, it sends SYN (maybe SYN/ACK can't remember) packets from thousands of routers where the return IP is spoofed to be the victim server. So when the router goes to respond they all respond back to the victim. If you filter out those routers, or if you filter out that port you will be knocking out ALL traffic including legitimate traffic.. which is no better than taking it on the chin because either way the bad guy wins and your site is down

[Gutter Ball]

Ouch...must be some disgruntled opponents that you guys beat badly.

[TheBurningCat]

It could be anyone. From some angry CS player to the people we took over the bandwidth from
