Hello all,
I am a scripter of the server you can see in my avatar. Last 2 weeks we have a problem with attacks which we don't know how to detect and prevent. Hacker/noob/cheater, whatever, does not leave any trace, he just joins and server stops, nothing in logs and I cant see crash log as well. First I thought it is a server script that cause crashes but than I noticed that one player actually said DDOS before server crashed. He used the same name so I was able to ban him few times but now he change his names and probably have his buddies attacking with him so we cant find them/him.
Last hour there was over 130 players and now we have been crashed 5 times in a row, cant even start the server because they will crash it again.
Does anyone know what kind of attack / attacking tool is this and how to detect it?
