Received an email this morning about a ddos attack occurring again. And some downtime may occur.

Just a question. Is the DDOS specifically at us? or the server we are on.

Props to Google :
"distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely."

Might be a good move to change the ip, if it really is targetted directly at us..? Or at the least change the port?

Didn't we change the IP last time DDOSing was a problem?

Yeah, but since it's a public server, it's not hard to get the new IP address. Just domain to IP server.crazy-fools.co.uk and there's your new address to DDoS

Just realised that it's up to the server provider to handle attacks of any kind.. Scratch my above post

Unless the host does some kind of proxy server/firewall setup, then this will continue to happen until the person doing it gets tired of doing it.

Just letting Broonie know servers are down again. Have been for about an hour now.

lol so my thread asking whats up got closed (a nice first post welcome)

I was just curious as to whether is was Bukkit or DDoS. I guess the answer would probably be both then? or have you resolved bukkit and it's now just DoS?

Re: Server down again?
BRooNiE, Thu Feb 03 2011, 10:02AM

Both - bukkits a work in progress and we can't expect everything to run smoothly. The DDOS seems to have calmed, so whether the servers improved I cannot observe, however I am planning a bukkit update tonight to see if it improves any issues.
