Penguin Online # Cap 100 # European/Chinese # Coin System - Check it out!

I think when "attackers" have been found out, we all go together and do the same, at a bigger scale. I'm totally down ;)

well can someone tell me about how long it will take for server to be online again ?

Striking back with DDoS is not the Solution. Solution would be to open a Server with DDoS Protection. No wonder why it is down after all.

Right, why many servers go down ?

Because every owner, guess other owners are hitting them, so they also do it.

The result is no fun for any of the players, the best would be solving your issue and forgetting about the others... of course this is not what most want to do lol. :cool:

The thing is, you CAN'T be safe from DDoS. Are there enough people, everything goes down sooner or later.

Server is down, but my promo is up <3. Hope you'll enjoy it:
Still waiting for the server :<

Even Servers like PlaySRO can be taken down easily.. so just be patient please.

Every server, that can't pay for a ddos protection can get down really easy, and some of the ones that pay for it too, since their packages are not the strongest ones, but if you have the money to pay for the resources the attack is going to use, then you are safe, up to this level.

An attack uses resources, and those resources, (CPU, Memory, Bandwidth, Internet Link) all of it, need to be paid.

If you pay for it, you are safe, if you can't pay, then you are not safe.

Guess this is clear...

I don't think the server will open today. Maggo is probably with his family now on Christmas Eve...We all should do the same. Consider it a little holiday where you are free of the Silkroad Addiction and spend it with your family.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the love and joy.
God bless your hearts.

Even if you have one million to spend in security, you can't fully protect it, there are still so much non-public and working exploits out which can easily take a well protected server down in notime. Anyway I'll do my best to get it back as soon as possible..

Oh,

for those that still didn't understood, about 'resource usage'.

I'll be more clear.

The internet works with 'packet flows'.

You -> Server
Server -> You

A regular connection uses just a few packets per person, like 20-50 pps (packets per second).

When a server is under attack, we can speak about anything, from 100.000 pps to 1.000.000 pps or even much more than this. (Just hypothetical numbers).

We can say that 'each' packet needs (8kb ram, 100 cpu cycles and anything from 60 to 1500 bytes approximatelly).

So, for example if a server is receiving 200.000 pps attack, you do a few calculations and get :

200.000 * 8 = So, it means you will need something around 1.5~2 GB (of router memory) to process this.

Also you will need : 20000000 +/- (CPU Cycles) at least, 3ghz core to be processing this.

Now speaking about bandwidth, the 200.000pps can mean anything from :
11 MB/s (100Mbps) to 286 MB/s (3Gbps).

Now i guess you can understand a 'little' why this costs much...

Although it is always better to do something than just crossing the arms and doing nothing... Everybody knows your point, but you know that there are differences when you do something about it and when you doesn't, anyways, this is not our problem and with your wise, you can do whatever you think it is better for you.

Btw: Merry Christimas for everybody, i guess nobody forgot, that today is Santa Claus day :)

server hacked?

1) Nobody said i wanted to look smart, and i guess when you know something, sharing is not an excess.

2) Everybody (an execuse here), because if you do, others shouldn't, don't answer for 'everybody'.

3) You have your opinion here, again, don't answer by others, as you see the admin of 'this server' also stated, that he would do ddos in case he found the enemy, not saying he is wrong, but also not agreeing with this point, because if he thinks this way, other server admins, also might do the same, and then, you will not be playing your favorite game as me...

So stop whining on things you don't know.

He never said he'd DDoS them.
