VeronicaZ Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 punishment is important but taking advantage of alternate ways to connect and having several options available to us would allow us to have something rather than nothing... skype is working right now and has not been attacked for example... we can chat over it and information can be shared in real-time over it... why not have a version of 3dxchat that allows us to connect our skype accounts together while hosting the 3d portion of the game rendered locally on our own machines?

JustJessie Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Billion dollar companies with top tier security, still manages to get hacked and ddos'd. The matter of the fact is, you cannot protect yourself from this, all you can do is make it too troublesome for them to bother. At the end of the day though, if they want to do it then they can. Just accept it, and be glad Gizmo and co. actually tries to fix it. Astariel, Aliviax and JulietteBathory 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 One thing I learned that I didn't know is that during a DDoS attack like this on the game the forum goes down as well. Wouldn't it be better to have them in separate places/servers? AndrewJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the login server, and the main server handling the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondance Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 18 minutes ago, Doc said: Really? So the DDoS attack also killed the forum for a time on a different server too? Wow! It could have been separately targeted, and since its just basically a web page sent over https, cloudflare works to mitigate the attack . Hard to know without having specific info about the attack . Also sometimes separate servers sometimes use shared resources for basic functions like authentication, which would make an attack on one keep both down until the functions are separated, but no idea if that is what happened here.

Guest Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Some interesting reading on pages 8-10 which tells you what a DDoS attack is and how much it typically costs from the cybercriminal market. https://www.trendmicro.de/cloud-content/us/pdfs/security-intelligence/white-papers/wp-russian-underground-101.pdf It is a white paper from Trend Micro, the anti-virus and web security company, so the link is legit.

I am not into this type of game (naaaa not comparable with 3dx at all ^^) but free is free - so I reserved a license CardinalCopia and PAGOS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
