DDoS on Alpha Networks

[Lugi]

I just "finished" playing on *NwA* because of this (defending one cache for the whole round :cry . Lot of people were saying its a DDoS on Alpha Networks. Mumble is crashing as well. Anyone knows what's going on?

If there are people hacking Alpha Networks, they shouldn't get any kind of attention. If we all leave it, I'm sure they'll stop.

There has been many threads about this, and I'm pretty sure all of them has been locked. Don't get shocked if an administrator locks this one too.

How do you know it wasnt a ghost ID bug?

[Doc.Pock]

well our server is from alpha networks too and it haz been ddosed before

in before the lock

What is a Ddos?

[Doc.Pock]

DDoS

[Wicca]

Its highly unlikely. Im guessing it was a bug related issue.

However, this thread is kinda pointless as OP has failed to give any proof to any of this. And therefor its mere speculations.

[Doc.Pock]

yup. lets play till tha crash

[[md]MadMak[rus]]

I guess MeRk server is being DDOSed too. And for really long time.

I can post the email we got from alpha confirming they are being DDOS after we contacted them several times. At first they tried to blame the PR server files as being very buggy to the point that servers are known to crash when players try to climb certain ladders. To my knowladge this bug was removed a long time ago. There tech support is a little behind the times for a offical PR server provider.

On other matters they are very slow to respond to support tickets. Also we rented a minecraft server for our members on a 1 month trial. That server was provided with 0.2 server files when the currant (at the time) was 1.5. We had to upload and config the server ourselves. Although not a big issue but just a example of how lacks there aproach to customers is.

They cannot be blamed for being DDOS`s but as a tech provider they should be accros this type of event and know its happening to every server and TS3 server they provide and not blame buggy server files that were fixed a while ago for the issues they pointed out.

Im sure this thread will be locked. But Alpha need to wake up to whats happening took 4 days to reply to support ticket regarding all our server crashing and lagging at the same time.


When our server starts to lag so dose every other alpha server and the mumble crashes also our TS3 gose down.

[Doc.Pock]

well last few months many servers kept crashing from UKWF TO UNSTF and merk and PRTA and more

[Orford]

its when they all crash at the same time. We do check and talk to each other.

[Wicca]

Our crashes were related to the powerchords on the Box being out of place and repeatedly giving it a kernel error.

So we have fixed that. So any crash in PRTA is caused by the ghost bug ID. Doesnt happen to often though

[Sir.Grossi]

Last night was a DDos attack on alpha net, out TS, Servers and forums were ll affected.

I'm going to close this thread as it serves little useful purpose.

Server admins will discuss this/similar issues in private.

Closed.
