Do u have XFire?

Ok next post... you know the deal people

Quote from Fordman :

Damn another sign of old age Premature

the question is have u got time to cleanup before i post LMAO

okay this is the pre-warning post so get on your F5 Buttons people

Quote from Chriship :

Thanks :-)

Why would you need a free server if you own rack service just out of interest?

will be doing another giveaway later I'll post a pre warning this time for the old folk

Server is online at : "Bose321 Server" without quotes just IM on Xfire when u want the FTP details and if u need it rebooted or anything

i have added you on there

hit me up with a IM do u have xfire?

Quote from Bose321 :

hm what?

im feeling generous

Quote from Jakg :

Remember a DDos attack can come on both bandwidth (which you've got covered it seems) but also on CPU etc - you can send malformed packets that require very little network traffic which will eat the CPU when it tries to process them.

Well ive put as much security mesaures into place as i can lets just hope it keeps them out .

BTW i noticed your in East Anglia , whereabouts? I Live in Lowestoft

I've enabled syn cookies already

Okay just spent the last hour trying to bring down my own server with 0% luck, all I will say is null routing at ISP level is the solution to it

If possible I'm going to be detecting multiple connections if more than 2 you will be IP banned, if you want more then 2 people to play in our servers from the same IP then you will have to request to be added to the whitelist

Indeed but depending on the skill level of these so called "hackers" an IP can sort of be spoofed in which case port blocking is still kinda effective in a way of adding an extra obstacle.

You can't really spoof an IP effectively because if you do, http responses will go to that IP rather than yours. As such, it'd probably not be the best use of your time. (They can be fake, but they can't receive the intended data.)

This is a risk still as it's a well established way of conducting DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks.

Well you can explain it like that yes

I'm a little bit saying it in this way because I spoke to people last weeks who do not believe me or still doing it 'their own way' .. Without success. If you don't listen to good advice then it's OK but then don't complain also is my logic

Anyway, good luck with the new project.

I understand your frustration and tbh I've heard good things about the ddos protection that OVH provide, I would use them but the provider I'm using currently is owned by a family member and I pretty much pay next to nothing for space in his rack that's why I've tried tackling the problem myself. But thanks for the advice

Its okay I got it working using the algorithm you gave me works great!

Quote from cargame.nl :

Forget it, its not going to work. Only one company has a properly working anti ddos infrastructure at the moment and that is OVH. Everything else is a fail. (Sadly). Kids have too many options to f* around. If you don't believe me continue, you will discover.

Speedtest is unimpressive by the way. Anti ddos is not by having more bandwidth, it's about having mitigation bandwidth.

Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for the help TAA I will take it all into consideration, my second question is does LFS Dedi support listening on ipv6 addresses? If so I can see that making it a little more difficult for them to send an attack, AFAIK all LFS servers use ipv4 I will also be using non default ports for both insim and the actual server itself so they will need to dig a bit further. Making many obstacles may just deter the hackers

Im soon to be launching a new community within LFS. I will be running all my own servers from my co-located dedicated server in Germany. Now i have various iptables rules set and blocked as many proxys that i can find. I have also been assured by my service provider that Router/Hardware Firewall should detect any sort of attack and somehow block it. Now my question is this... im connected to a 1Gbps Backbone will the bandwidth be able to handle any such attack if it does happen? As a new community, Building a good reputation is important so i cant afford for my servers to be going down due to idiocy.

Heres a quick speedtest from an Ubuntu Container running on my Host Dedi Server.

Im using C# and Insim.net btw

I've currently developing a brand new insim addon now I've got to the point where I'm stuck, I'm familiar with using nodes for stuff like street names now I need to use the x and y as the open config tracks don't support nodes, I've created locations around the map based on distance from the x and y point but this just isn't feasible for what I want. Now I've tried using the LFS 2d polygon drawing tool here on the forum, it outputs the coordinates for me but doesn't tell which are x or y and how would I check if a car is in the polygon when I starting messing with mines values it confuses the hell out of me if anyone can could help that would be great

Not sure if this is the right section so mods feel free to move it, I've noticed alot in the programming forum that when certain people post it displays there username on the left but at the same time u see Victor and Scawen e.t.c is this because there being moderated or something? As I've noticed its usually with people who are just requesting insims for free and asking people to code stuff for them and people lacking general common sense like how to use the search tool

Would I be right thinking that it means the Admins are watching them or something like that?

Could somebody please shed a bit more light on how this actually works? Ive created the various polygons around the map that i need, now it outputs values for x and y but how do i identify which is which?
