3. Report the server with valid proofs about the DDoS attack (network graphs) & threats to team@sa-mp.com (you might not get a response)
4. Take the opponent server down by reporting their server at THEIR host. Hosts should be friendly enough to you to suspend the opponent server since they threatened you & DDoS'd you, both against their terms (likely)
5. Try to take legal action using your own host, although I wouldn't depend a lot on that.
6. Try to find the IP of the main DDoS'er (I guess the one who contacted you on skype). Retrieve their ISP (a simple IP trace would do that) and attempt to contact that ISP about those attacks. ISPs specifically do not like DoS attacks since it's a waste of expensive bandwidth. This guy likely uses his parent's internet, so you can pretty much already imagine what will happen if they get a letter about their DDoS attacks. The kid won't be allowed to go on the internet anymore for a while, I suppose
7. If you live in the same country and know the name of the DDoS'er, file an official report against him. Wouldn't expect a lot out of this
8. Ask him how you can donate the money to him & use PayPal support to suspend all their accounts. Giggle when you find out they just lost all their money.

Remember that DDoS attacks cost more than your server costs you. Unless they are actually hackers with a real botnet, DDoS attacks usually don't last very long.
1) Yes he did contact me on skype and I even have Screen Shots of small conversations.
2)Of course we won't give him any cash or any of his game mode or his last demand, because we made the game mode by ourselves and with a great difficulty.
3) We will surely attempt to contact anyone which can help us out.
4)Reporting their server doesn't works. They have their own dedicated server and we are not friendly with the hosting team.
5) This is the reply we got from our hosting team.

Hello, We cannot provide DDoS protected services. If your IP is attacked again on our new node we will have to suspend you. I'm sorry. It would cost us 4X the operational cost to provide DDoS protected nodes if not more. We have advanced DDoS mitigation techniques however in Arizona and Virginia that aids us in smaller attacks but, If they are large and complex we cannot stop them and our providers usually demand we terminate the client. Regards, Brad W

6) The person who is basically behind these attacks is from Finland. (how do I know this?) Ans: I've been myself a head admin of this DM server who is ddosing us and he even ddos'd this DM server way back when he was banned. Its not actually one but two people called JohnM and Stacks. They use VPN's even to access their own DM servers because so its a waste of time to track their IP's.
7) No we don't live in same country or I would have slapped him in real life :P
I already did that, but firstly he didn't gave any reply and second time he was willing to tell me but I banned him from our teamspeak.

I already got my skype account blocked by the way you told me.

Hack Issues: We already have a strong anti cheat. It detects on the player spawn only that he is hacking, so the chances of hackers from that server is greatly reduced/nil.
Our Server has good amount of well trained admins which can easily find the hackers so I don't worry about that as well

Demands: Although as per what I have heard about PR-RP and got information from one of their members, they did accepted some of his demands but till 19th June 2013 the RP server was still under massive DDoS attack and they were shutting down every now and then.




The owner of this DM server is way busy in real life to care for it. The leadership barely comes on the server. The things are mostly handled by a newly appointed leader and the senior administrators of this server.
Here I will like to point out that we even provided the GWDM leadership with the server logs from our server where they were trolling/insulting/flaming us in the absence of administration staff. Its been one week and they have given no reply.
