Server crashes

[ronnockoch]

Ok, But what if a hacker who wants to hack in game AGAIN make an account?
I still think it's the best to shut it down till the security got fixed/upgraded

if he can hack the server
i'm going to guess that he has enough skill to make himself an account.

As SuperWaffle said

The dcing will still continue because he don't need to make an in game account for it...

He's doing something to the actual server instead of the client,

I don't belive he's connecting to the Client, but connecting directly to the server.

What you could do,
is only allow connections from registered accounts

as in

no one but a certain IP can connect to the VPS (or where ever it's hosted)
that way, the hacker/crasher couldn't actually crash the server

I don't know if this is actually possible, but it may be an idea

And that's what I'm already looking for, for a while already. I have no clue which program can do this.

Is there a hosting program with the server?
(cpanel or something like that)?

Parallels but you can only end processes, services and restart the container with it.

Wait 'till the new client lolz.

That's very weird
Most of them include a IP ban program o.O

From what i've read
there should be a firewall module installed, and that has the option to ban single ip adresses.

Spoiler!

Hi,

I wonder why I can´t put an IP Range in the Firewall Rules without it saying that the IP I put there is not right. I mean, there is this extra field behind the / so I suppose its ment to use it like this for example:

11.11.11.0/255

Right ? I need to ban a few IP ranges from my Server. Any Idea how to succeed in this ? Please, i am far away from beeing an expert in these things. Please, if you do know how it works, try to explain it simple if possible.

Thx.

Second post

You want to use the bitmask at the end, heres a quick cheat sheet:

11.11.11.11/32 <- just the host 11.11.11.11

11.11.11.0/24 <- the whole 11.11.11.0 network (254 ips)

11.11.0.0/16 <- the 11.11.0.0 network (64k ips)


11.0.0.0/8 <- the 11.0.0.0 network (16million ips)

By then we probally have fixed it already.

WhatI mean is that this hacker will still continue hacking even when the new client comes, be it with his current hack or a new one he might code..
At least thats what he told me
What if that happens? Are we going to disable the register page forever?

disabling the register page will do NOTHING

If he's competent enough to make a hack, to bypass anti-hacks
and crash the server
he'll be smart enough to either hi-jack someone's session and use their account
or he'll just make himself a character.

The only foreseeable way to stop him from crashing the sever
is to block his ip from accessing the server.
If not
he'll keep connecting.

I voted yes... I kinda have the same option as subwoofer.
No newgen or no game.
I prefer no newgen.

[Person69]

If the register page is opened then we will continue to be hacked and the newgens will probably quit because the server will always get shut on and off.
So I say keep it disabled.
