Doomsday Gone

TifaKhan · #1 04-25-2003, 01:12 PM

One minute we get a report someone is dropping massive bombs in the central area where most players are, and before we can find out who, Doomsday is gone.
Please help us Stefan.
Thank you

Probably a security reason, maybe they had a high leveled RC?

I thought only Nemesis,Stefan,and unixmad could shut down a server. And If they didnt wouldnt they atleast report it to the manager?

Maybe the Manager was online to be told.

I was on RC when it happened.
There was no warning, we were just kicked off.
Stefan had been on a few hours earlier telling us how we could help prevent anything happening, which we did.
But somehow, i believe someone hacked us down.
Tifa (Manager of Doomsday)

(btw if it was one of my staff, it would show in the logs i assume)

>.< Well We did secure a lot of stuff with the control npc. But I don't know about other npc's. And certainly it wouldn't force the server down? ;(

If it was a Ddos, I belive more than one server would be down. So it must be a manual shutdown.

Can you ddos a specific port?

Yes, but that's not the point. You DDoS a specific port but you're still flooding an entire machine; if Doomsday was brought down by a DDoS attack, all the other servers on the machine with it would be down too.

Didn't someone "hack" down N-Pulse once?

lol, lots of crazy hacking has happened on n-pulse
:P
but i haven't seen much lately... i think the newer graal versions have stopped most big-time hacking...

I mean, besides the past few days, the most hacking i ever saw was speed hacking, or god-mode... last time i saw anything like this was maybe a year ago, or more

Thats not hacking, thats pressing a button on a program. Hackers are clever*, trainer users are not.

*By that I mean they work at something. They actually hack, I dont think they are clever for hacking. But we shouldn't give such a big name to a 12-15yr old who clicks a few buttons on a program.

Someone might have somehow cracked the ssh and killed the process for Doomsday's server.

NovaNET · #14 04-25-2003, 08:34 PM

Darn.... see what happens i leave and miss all the entertainment :P

*shrugs*

It had to be manually shutdown FYOI

I was on doomsday and said that with
limitfreeplayers2=true
you can prevent that trials players use massive bombs/items/explosions. If someone does such a thing it shouldn't crash the server though.

On several servers the control-npc needs to be fixed, because there are often leaks that make it possible for 'hackers' to get unlimited money or similar things. We will do a team with scripters that can help such playerworlds to remove such scripting leaks and script better in general to have less lag.
