When I was playing on the [Atom] v4 server i would lose connection every few days, and I couldn't rejoin for a few hours, despite having no lag, no ping, and being able to join all other servers.Then, the server crashed 2x in a few days. Samuco joined the server, had lots of lag, and found over 4 people were lagging and DOSing the server from throughout various parts of the world, including a Chinese bot that was spawning new ips. Samuco banned the ips, but I wanted to warn some others who hosted servers. I have experienced similiar conditions in the Bigass High Speed Combat Server. While Atom's server has more lag and ping issues than other servers in my experience, its not super unlikely other servers are being DOSed if this server is being DOSed by that many people. Thanks Samuco for fixing it.
Here is an edited down Halo Chat conversation for more info:
11:35:49 <Samuco> ye its being ddossed
11:35:56 <yourself> how do you know?
11:36:04 <(grrr)hawk> sam can u fix it
11:36:07 <Samuco> because i can see people spamming packets to it
11:36:25 <Samuco> I suggest you all check your IP addresses
11:36:32 <yourself> why?
11:36:37 <Samuco> If your IP is 108.70.194.157, 27.33.231.10, 71.55.230.161
11:36:46 <Samuco> let me know and I won’t permanently ban you
11:37:03 <Samuco> https://www.google.com.au/search?client ... hats+my+ip
11:43:25 <Samuco> lol its someone in china is trying to hack into atoms server
11:45:10 <Samuco> naw ill just permanantly ban him
11:45:45 <Samuco> nobody has hacked anything
11:45:49 <Samuco> they’re just trying to hack it
11:46:01 <Samuco> and some other noobs are dossing it
11:46:12 <Samuco> 3 people were making lag, 1 was trying to hack
11:46:51 <Samuco> still a few more pesky people
11:47:07 <Samuco> lol we have someone in russia too
11:47:27 <Samuco> the server is down
11:47:32 <Samuco> they shouldn’t be sending packets to it
11:48:25 <Samuco> someone in bangkok now
11:48:54 <Samuco> new people
11:48:59 <Samuco> well, new ip's
11:49:34 <Samuco> ooh they’re angry now
11:49:38 <Samuco> new ip’s are spamming
11:51:29 <Samuco> the server is down
11:54:28 <yourself> Samuco any way to stop them from dosing?
11:54:39 <Samuco> ban em all? xD
11:54:54 <yourself> they could make new ones though
11:55:06 <Samuco> true but they usually dont
11:56:41 <Samuco> China is back
11:56:44 <Samuco> with a new ip
11:59:34 <Samuco> looks like a china bot
12:00:24 <Samuco> as soon as I ban one china ip
12:00:28 <Samuco> another springs up
12:00:42 <(grrr)DB==D> how do u see em sam??
12:00:53 <Samuco> I’m looking at ip’s connecting to the server
12:01:20 <Samuco> if another one pops up I’m just going to ban china
:03:14 <Samuco> ok activity has quietened down
12:03:22 <Samuco> ill put the server back up
12:04:41 <Samuco> ping is still obscenely high
12:05:38 <Samuco> maybe something is using all the cpu
12:06:48 <Samuco> copy is at 2% usage
12:06:50 <Samuco> *CPU
12:06:54 <Samuco> memory is at 5% usage
12:07:06 <Samuco> ah
12:07:13 <Samuco> Australia’s internet line to wherever the server is
12:07:17 <Samuco> is ****ed
12:07:50 <Samuco> maybe I should start an oceania bigass
12:08:14 <Samuco> 400 ping is obscene
12:10:02 <yourself> the oceania server has over 250 lag for everyone in america
12:10:16 <yourself> usaully
12:10:17 <Samuco> the bigass currently has 377 lag for me
12:12:18 <Samuco> oceania needs to be moved to oceania
12:12:20 <Samuco> anyway, afk

Re: Halo MD Server DOSed
these ddos attacks are fairly small (well, relative to some of the ones i've seen, where disgruntled teens buy a stresser for about $10 a month in order to claim superiority over the server owner and establish themselves as an uberl33th4x0r) in that they're incapable of shutting the server down within a minute. nonetheless, they are still a problem
sapp has a basic anti-dos function (in particular, adding packet_limit "1024-256" in the config will automatically ban the ip that sends more than that amount in 1 second)
i don't think the server's running sapp though, so maybe a similar script can be added

Re: Halo MD Server DOSed
Every lost connect to Atom's australia v4 server 3x in 2 hr. I don't know if it is from someone DOSing it, but it is suspicious that they might be doing it again to that server.
Re: Halo MD Server DDOSed
The DDOSing has intensified since Samuco moved the servers to Australia. The 2 Australia [Atom] servers are routinely losing connection with everyone in the server, causing everyone to have to quit. The loss of connection has happened about once every 2 hr. While the game is still playable, it destroys the flow of the game when everyone loses the spot they where at, and they have to restart as if it was a new game.
Re: Halo MD Server DDOSed
i can't get on to any servers anyone know whats the deal with that
Re: Halo MD Server DDOSed
Hi this is Hooligans and I was wondering if by any chance there is a BigA v5 map ever coming out and if so when.
