monotwix Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 About the modes though. What does a pilot need to fly a mission: ability, skills, experience, most importantly understand the task in a mission. I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.
124SqZeljava Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 HACKER IS STRONG Guys what is happening, this HaCKER tonight has strike down on every server and shot them down, they were just disapereing, will ED do something, it`s about time for some action!!!! S!!!! 1
Boberro Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Can't you ban him via firewall? Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Case Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Who ever is doing this, be it a single person or multiple, is using proxies for these attacks. So far there is no clear trend in the IPs that are used, hence IP banning is not the solution. ED is aware of the issue. If they can fix it or provide information that can help us fix it is not clear at the moment. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Pilotasso Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 have you asked how the russian servers managed to filter the hacks? .
2IAE-CrashBG Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I don't know russian unfortunately, so just giving a heads up. :) [sIGPIC]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/46crash/crahshig.png[/sIGPIC] Bulgarian DCS Community
Case Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 If anyone knows a software firewall that can filter packets based on content, then please let me know. That may be the only way to prevent these attacks. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
RED9R1pper Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 While the hacks are active, you will still see a list of servers showing up but keeping refreshing the list and notice that 99% of them have their "Game time" frozen which coincides with servers freezing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Exactly. And if you do a 'new search' instead you'll see only the servers that are actually up. One minute ago our server was crashed again, and when I checked the lobby, only 3 servers were up. Will post a screenshot later. That is the 5th deliberate crash of our server in 4 hours. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Boberro Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Proxies you say hmmm... :( About packet filtering, maybe that will be helpful? http://www.zeroshell.net/eng/firewalldetails/ http://www.bglug.ca/articles/packet_filtering_firewall.pdf I am not sure but if my memory doesn't fails me there are packets filters available (either via own scripted rules or already made). I don't recall details because I wanted to filter packets few years ago and forgot most things. I guess Sanch0 will help you more :) Anyway problem will be mostly solved in FC3 - to the master server can connect only valid game (purchased). So after first time of being banned he would have to buy next game copy which is rather not likely. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

So after first time of being banned he would have to buy next game copy which is rather not likely. That depends how it works. It would be impossible to route all traffic through the master server, which means that clients will only use the master server to find a server, but then all traffic would be direct. Chances are that if that is the case, and this bug is not fixed, FC3 could suffer from this as well. There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

That may be the only way to prevent these attacks. Hiya Case. I don't know of any Windows-based firewalls that do this, but some must exist - the term to search for is "Deep Packet Inspection". Hope you find one that suits you.
104th_Crunch Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 This is horrendous. At this very moment (or 30 seconds before writing this post) there are only russian servers online. :mad::mad::doh: 1
Case Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Apparently ED has fixed this for FC3 but will not patch FC2/BS1. Unfortunately they have not provided any information to server admins on how to prevent these crashes... :angry: There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

RIPTIDE Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 This is horrendous. The 104th is running, checked on my 'history', but not in the 'Internet' list. Seems the master server isn't updating so well... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

FLANKERATOR Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 have you asked how the Russian servers managed to filter the hacks? My opinion is that Russian servers did not manage anything, they just aren't under attack! I have lately gathered as much information as possible from the Russian community and it appears that they know who is doing this, and he also knows that they know. And the reason he can't attack Russian servers is pretty obvious to me. I can't say more than that in public. I can direct to these specific links if needed via PM.

Pilotasso Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I advise you to do pass this info to server admins. theres nothing I can do. .

GGTharos Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I've done a couple sorties on public servers this weekend ... didn't look like A2A was terribly dead to me. Not yet, at least.

104th_Crunch Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Sorry, don't mean to be negative. There is no doubt that this has hurt FC2 though. I understand why though, with FC3 close, that efforts to fix this in FC2 may not be the best way to go about things currently.
