If this is a DDoS attack, and if by accident you mean incident, and if by administration you mean the SysAdmin, well...

SysAdmin's, by their very nature, are totally anal about Uptime. As such, the SysAdmin is not amused.

I'm really curious why someone is wasting time and money for DDOSing a fonline server.

DDOS something useful for fucks sake. This makes no sense. Its like aiming your Avenger minigun at your neighbourhood cop.
Title: Re: Server Status
Post by: cirn0 on November 02, 2014, 03:04:42 AM
Its not a DDoS, its just a exploit in the fonline-server vulnerability, so a single malicious packet just crashes the server.

For the current time I've moved the game port to 4001, hopefully the assailant doesn't read our forums while I pinpoint the problem. Thanks for your patients and continued support!

Also if any IT / security experts want to have a crack at problem feel free to message me. I have collected the traffic of the attack and have started to filter through the packets to find the offending one, from 300k packets, i've narrowed it to around 3k :p.
Title: Re: Server Status
Post by: Stem Sunders on November 02, 2014, 04:17:02 AM
Cirn0 to the rescue!

So we can change the port and connect?

If so how do we do this?

No pressure, this must be frustrating.

Look at your 'net' tab in your handy fonline-config.

Title: Re: Server Status
Post by: Myakot on November 02, 2014, 11:34:21 PM
sorry for asking but can someone specify what ddosing means?
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

The most common method is to send unlimited amounts of requests to the server machine, so much that it simply breaks, or responds to the normal traffic so slowly, it can be rendered as useless. The other one (idk if it has a different name) when a malicious packet is sent to the server, which holds an impossible command, which ends the same for the server.

It's illegal, and I believe you can even get a sentence for that.

Aye this whole 'server offline' thing is not really helping server population but I guess you figured that yourselves already. Hope you find a solution soon. This server is far to awesome and it hurts to see it empty.

I really appreciate your hard work so I made you a present.

Title: Re: Server Status
Post by: FrenchSniper on November 05, 2014, 09:35:48 PM
Teela is absolutely right, The server population has drastically dropped, only a selective amount of people who changed their ports to 4001 roam the server.

As for the DDOS attack, I'm not pointing fingers but I wouldn't be surprised if it came from the other FO server.

Cirno you need to fix this issue ASAP or else you will lose a significant amount of your player base, not everybody checks the forums.

I recommended you change the the main post on the website aswell, and preferably add a news section

Also looking forward to the next patch

Post by: blulark on November 06, 2014, 12:18:53 AM
By crashing the server does that mean the packet causes the memory to overflow? Or is it something more deeper like a loop hole in the code? From my experience in programming loops and memory management is every programmer's worst nightmare, right up there with horribly organised coding or semantic errors... or all of them at once... oh god. Sorry I can't help since my programming is very limited in python and c# (I also know pascal not that anyone gives a crap about it anymore). I also have no clue on things involving telecommunications or internet protocols for that matter. I really hope your trial and error gets the work done. Or maybe you've set up a separate program to handle the filtering, but kudos anyway.

It's just that, many players do not read the forum. I personally did not know they had changed the port to 4001, until a week later

Seems your answer isn't joke, nobody else replied. Bad. Well, hm, I just deleted "Requiem" client because they can't handle some anonimous group of hackers. So 2 fav servers passed away. Maybe Fonline just too old for 2015-2016 and dying  ??? lol
Anyway, it was fun. Sometimes. Like 15% of time which i spend in game it was.
