Post by: SwiftSpear on May 27, 2005, 10:07:14 PM: burstfire.uk.eu seems to have taken the least of the shelling out of all the gamesurge servers. Other then that it's pretty much getting blasted to high hell.

I got 110+ retry's on kanzi, and the majority of the other servers I tryed just didn't work period. burstfire hasn't been down for more then 20 mins all day.

Post by: EvilLinkz on May 28, 2005, 07:47:22 AM: I've been on Burstfire the past week and it's stayed up better than my normal Clanshells.DE. I've even still connected to the American servers during the NetSplits.
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: CryForMe on May 28, 2005, 12:43:17 PM: they keep getting hit by ddos attacks because theyre not smart enough to secure their network. this happens about once every two weeks with gamesurge. back when it was gamesnet, they actually had their act together and netsplits were relatively rare, not like this garbage we have now.
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: devicenull on May 28, 2005, 01:26:54 PM: You obviously don't understand a DDoS attack. It has nothing to do with the security of the network. It involves hundreds or thousands of connections being opened to gamesurge each second.. it overloads the ircd
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: CryForMe on May 28, 2005, 02:12:30 PM: yes, and usually theyre conducted by a single user. i've been on plenty of different IRC networks for long periods of time and none of them seemed to have this much trouble with it. why is it that gamesurge is the only network that gets hit so frequently?
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: A Boojum Snark on May 28, 2005, 04:08:34 PM: One of the biggest and most popular, duh.

Same reason the majority of virii target windows computers.

Well, you are right in the sense that they are usually run by one user.. but they use many computers that have some type of trojan on them, so the attacks come from a bunch of different IP addresses

Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: Fewlio on May 30, 2005, 05:45:59 PM: I think the userbase is what kills off the servers fully :p. Knockout one server, lots of people lose connection, all the people attempt to connect to other servers at the same time, and then the servers all get overloaded and crash.

Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: Guspaz on May 30, 2005, 10:07:01 PM: It appears that GameSurge is under a massive network-wide DDoS attack.

They really should get some servers at DDoS-protected datacenters.

Post by: Diablus on May 31, 2005, 06:10:18 PM: well dos seems to be owning gamesuege since apparently they have no more IPS so we cannot get into #LM >_<
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: confused! on May 31, 2005, 07:25:28 PM: I was wondering if it was a possiblity to start a small private network untill such time as, well, gamesurge works again or dies for good. i know that irc stuff is hard to get figured out. but its really hard to get my team organized without irc or what not.
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: Black Mage on June 01, 2005, 08:06:29 AM: i don't know how to say this, confused, but i've been screaming #lm on irc.zirc.org since the ddos started. (that's #lm as in #lm with two charachters, not #lm as an abbreviation of #lunixmonster)
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: Guspaz on June 01, 2005, 06:41:55 PM: LM's host, ServerMatrix/ThePlanet, revised their IRC policy not too long ago. They changed it from banning all IRC servers to only banning IRC servers connected to a network. So it is possible to put an IRC server on the LM box.

Of course I don't know how demanding an IRC server is. One would imagine not very. Something to talk to LB about, I guess.
Title: Is it me or is gamesurge dead?
Post by: devicenull on June 01, 2005, 06:53:43 PM: Not too demanding I think, but I dont think running one is a good idea

It's a lot of work, for starters, and most of them are for linux, iirc.

Stop blurring ****. If you don't want people to see or know, just don't ****ing do it. Probably hentai anyway.

I am cranky and I want the BF2 demo, but as I learned last night, personal woes are an acceptable reason to be a douche.

1 - we have forum rules
2 - private channels and channel keys
3 - usernames, network names and channel that you do not need to know
4 - it probably is hentai andi don't think lito's virgin eyes can handle it
5 - black bar is not blurring (or black line in this case)
