If I were sexgamedevil after this attack and when servers were back online and safe i would bring a update that ppl would remeber for Generations to come and turned this missfortune into a massive gain for the Game panCDCA, Jules Winnfield, RachelKilpatrick and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliviax Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 lemee give you a example : lets say im an artist and i do some stuff on my pc and got hacked what i will do ? i will buy security meassures from a company and i will keep do my work (updates) so in a sense updates dont cost for the devs its what they do So both can happen same time and as far as i know how this line works ppl usually have - ready updates they just wait the time scedual they have example i have already make the update for month june maybe even jully so am a lil chill this is how ppl work they design ahead panCDCA and xAGONYx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracer Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Hiya! Can someone explain what a ddos is? (in a non-nerdy way please) Is it hacking? Are our characters and rooms going to be ok? If someone is attacking the server isn't it just to call the police? Edited May 15, 2020 by Tracer xAGONYx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xAGONYx Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) If only it were that simple... but alas it's not.. 3dx has ample security measures, but that only protects data.. a ddos attack is something entirely different. It attacks at the connection level.. prevents people from being able to contact and communicate with the log in client.. that something that cloudflare can't adequately address.. thin of it a 500 people all trying to get in through your front door at once... nooone can get in. @ Tracer.. no.. local law enforcement (police) cant do anything to adequately address cyber attacks for a LOT of reasons... the biggest reason(s) being one of jurisdiction.. lets say the attack wasn't anonymous (and they always are btw) the person sourcing the attack is always at a different location than the primary point of transmission so there's no way tio accurately identify their real location on another perhaps more relevant note.. I really dont think a ddos is truly the culprit unless it's a sustained attack (which would ultimately make it traceable, a risk most blackhats wont take.. smart ones anyway) It only takes 5 quick steps to undo a ddos attack then patch and update and restart servers.. most Ive ever seen that take in much larger platforms is 6 hours so unless they have a staff of precisely zero people on at any given moment, I call B.S. lol Edited May 15, 2020 by xAGONYx spelling errors Frane, zioPeperone, Yagi and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusanLouisa Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 cloudflare was addressing the issue with forum earlier when forum went down. So they are involved at some level. xAGONYx, Vaughan_Rarius and Jules Winnfield 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xAGONYx Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 cloudflare can assist with support but cloudflare cant prevent ddos thats something only on site mitigation and cloud based server mitigation can provide but all those do is provide the proper infrastructure FOR you.. IE: the lazy mans way of avoiding it.. you can filter the handshake procedure to block specific types of data profiles yourself and put adequate levels of security in at the client/consumer level that WILL prevent DDOS.. all by yourself with only a little expense and precisely zero tech saavy required Jules Winnfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracer Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the infos and replies that I could understand. OK -is this right then? Somebody is spamming the server and stopping us all from connecting. They do this with many (machines? hacks?). This is being done from a lot of different places and it's difficult to find out who does it. They are cowardly shits in other words. This cloudflare thing is fixing the forums (Which were also attacked). Fingers crossed. But it can't fix the server (why not?). This (probably?) isn't an attack where we lose stuff like characters or rooms - or worse our credit card info is stolen or anything (right? this is the big deal for me). I think this is maybe an important point that people who aren't techy should be told about? To calm us down Its a bit worrying that it has been down a week before - was that also a DDOS? Does this mean this can happen again and again just because somebody doesnt like the game? Is it possible for someone to tell us what they think the status will be or when we might see it come back? Since its been like nearly a day. Edited May 16, 2020 by Tracer xAGONYx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xAGONYx Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 no.. takes one peson on one machine about 15 minutes and 15 USD.. this is probably a ddos from someone recently banned if its even a ddos at all Yagi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know No one knew what the last attack was....it was a complete circus here......Someone ran non-stop poop pictures for 4 straight days here....THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION FROM THE DEVS........People were calling the BBB......almost everyone thought they went out of business........This time around it is the complete opposite and is being handled far more professionally.....so just relax Edited May 16, 2020 by jadekhali xAGONYx, tripmc and Jules Winnfield 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xAGONYx Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 anyway an error 522 error is easy to fix and no way should it take almost 15 hours to recover from that was My point.. there's more to this than ddos/.. perhaps they're increasing server capacity or buffing up they're infrastructure to prevent further attacks. but if their aim is to have us believe all it is is ddos is a bit patronizing after 15 hours Cruna, tripmc and Jules Winnfield 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopardus Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I kind of think of DDOS as metaphorically being like the server is being water-boarded. It makes it hard for the server to breathe and talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
