Forum :: Lounge :: The truth

All servers are now being attacked with amped up botnets, this is producing 500 - 600k packets per second ddos attacks. This is well over our paid ddos protections. In order to defend these attacks were looking at about 800$ per month, wich is really out of reach for most these tiny private servers. This is only gonna become larger and more frequent. DDoS attacks have increased by more than 50% across the net in the last 3 yrs. All tiny game server that dont generate alot of cash will be a thing of the past. If you are one being attacked, i suggest not ever giving in to their demands, all this will do is create more assholes who will emulate this behaviour. I know the 2 ppl who have been doing this for the past week to the eoserv servers, however i will not even give the satisfaction of letting their names be known. Lets just call them the scumbags of the earth lol. In conclusion, i was never one to give up very easy wich is why bu is still here after 3 yrs 3 months, so rest assured i will do my best to keep this server alive.

Yeah, the best thing to do is not to fall for their demands, otherwise they are gonna do it more and more.
but i wonder who does these attacks, i mean fe,bu and edge in total don't have more than 60 players usually so who would waste his time and effort (or even his money) to ddos them.

Remember when is not an organization nor a fucking group , it's simply an idea that we believe in
and live for.
The priority of Remember when should come before oxygen , as oxygen is cosmetic even life itself is
cosmetic,that's why offer our worthless lives to The "Remember when"

Only thing I like about it is, Rakuhana now being DDoS'd. Such badasses.

I don`t think ddosing anything is funny moonie, its destructive and infantile. If anyone thinks its kool in any regards they are as low as the scum doing it.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Everyone deserves equal opportunity to have their own web space and their own presence on the internet, that includes Rakuhana, FE, EE, BU and all the rest of it. The real question I ask myself is what is the point, really? I think the worst thing I've done with regards to computer misuse is scrape a website for the html, css, js & jpg files just to give them back to the original owner of those documents (The host denied access to their host panel for some shit reason and wouldn't let them have any of their documents) And tbh even that technically isn't malicious. I just don't get how someone can a) find enjoyment out of ddosing and b) feel the need to. 

Anyway, great message there bone. Good to see you're persistent at running your server to make it the best it can be for your community, really commendable. Good luck with any further hassles you hopefully won't have.

Firstly these aren't botnets as i've told you they're booters they hit at an average of 5-6gb, it's suspected pps is 10,000 is what it says which is 10gb(i think) and they can be baught for fairly cheap, you pay around the 500-600$ mark for your DDoS protection when anybody can simply buy a booter for 15$ to destory your DDoS protection if you just search google you can find that.

Therefore it's pointless buying that DDoS protection as of now since it's not really protecting you atall and it's really pointless so you're wasting your money, you've only got the option to give into them they won't stop as you've said they're scumbags, they won't stop until they get what they want they're demanding HGM on BU, it's also not me (bone knows that) but if i were you i'd seek legal advice.

Or, we could just stand tall and look for other solutions.

Like.. I don't know... Negotiate with them? I know it's a fucking stupid idea, but it's an idea.

You could give them a server they've been looking for the IP to for a long time. A server on private, so it isn't on the SLN list. In return, they leave the server alone.
UNFORTUNATELY these scumbags that we are hearing all about don't DO negotiations, and if they were to do so, they would just ignore the deal and DDoS both.

Another option is to DDoS the fuck out of them. I like that option.

Burn their computers, they're not doing anything constructive with them anyway. If they want to do simple things with a complex machine, then they should stick to their simple minds and not a computer.

This is what happens when children learn to use tools they do it for LOL's but in life you have to learn Karma is a big bitch!

"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive."

First off. Most users are right. There is no need to continue to fight against DDoS for a dying game.

But, if you do want to continue there is a FREE and completely possible way to stop these small attacks. I won't hand anything out but it may be time for some of you to actually read up and expand your knowledge.

Today marks the beginning of the end for all private servers. private servers & great deku tree = same.
