Reality Check

[kashaph]

I have a Cisco and Checkpoint firewall at home. Either of these would and are capable of negating these attacks when properly configured. There are some attacks, however, that need to be stopped at the server level, which usually simply requires updates to the software in order to remove the vulnerability. I would not mind lending some assistance if I were given the required details and access in order to investigate this issue.

note: I am not the be all, end all of knowledge, but I do spend quite a bit of time reading, learning, and of course doing this at work.

I'm pretty sure its not a simple dos attack or a packet attack doing this... I think its something with their server that they launch that crashes it and they do this delibaterly, I could be wrong. I think if it was just a simple firewall issue they would've set that up already.

I'm glad I listened to my wife and put potential donation money into a re-upping my live subscription. This stuff is getting pretty ridiculous.

Goshdern_VZ....

I totally feel you man... Though I do not play on any Eqemu server not even my own... I have worked very hard on my server for many many years (7 years this June) ...

Thats 12% of my life... and this is my life... I quit my job to do this full time though I live in a mold infested crap apartment... I am dedicated to my work..

This has had a huge impact on me as well... As it has to probably every server op involved in this project..

When this is over, I promise you... Everything will be vindicated... Doodman and KLS have worked hard to get this stuff working right spending very long hours...

This community will thrive no matter what, and you can take that to the bank..
