There is a new type of flood running around. The tool shuts down the server almost immediately. I successfully range banned the attacker after he targeted my server, because he was foolish enough to send me pm messages about it and showing off. Thought you guys should know, maybe someone comes up with a counter measure..

Exactly. But as far as I know, the sa-mp client can't make that many connections in 1 second. My server is scripted correctly, but looks like it was to much for it to hande. After all it's a DDOS attack. That's what it looks like...

It's not a DDoS since it's all one IP. It's a flooder by the looks of it.

That is just a DoS, 1 single IP attacking the server. You just have bad security. The attacks I experienced were booters with a long range of different IPs from across the world going at around 40 MBps.

there isn't much you can do. I recommend confronting the attacker, and finding out his motives, if the attacker pmed you, show us the pms
