Anyone getting pounded by Admin connects?
« on: November 02, 2006, 08:15:11 pm »
Recently i've been checking my logs and keep seeing someone (not always the same IP) that just pound the crap out of the server trying to log in remotely to the server.

Anyone else getting this?

Most likely some script kiddy with a bunch of proxies and a script, trying to flood crash your server.

I am looking through your server logs and doing some detective work.  I am also taking some actions to prevent yours and others from this in the future.

I found what you're talking about.  They are not a member of these forums but have played in your server with the username [={|(8)|}=] Re{A}per joining game (xxx.xxx.128.13:2119)

Yeah, I start out all of my rentals at =20 by default anyway, so he's fine

 I usually see it because i have a connection with ARSSE but keep forgetting to write down the IP.
I know the person so i'll figure out what's going on.   

It never really crashed the server.  It just caused latency for everyone, then people playing jump ship because the connection sucks for a minute.
