Guidlines for handling server attacks

[coolzeldad]

As you know, sometimes we have server attacks such as individual DoS, connection DDoS, exploit lagging, etc, etc.

The only job admins can really do is collect information.

Collect as much information as possible about potential attackers, threats, etc.

From there you can decide if it's enough information to initiate a ban.

Don't be afraid to ban as they can be undone later if there are any mistakes.

Make sure to steamid ban first, knock em off, then initiate an ip ban as well.

Any attacks I treat with no leniency, permanent ban is expected.

Also, if you can, attempt to notify me in every way you can, so I can realize there is an issue and prepare to handle it.

Thanks a lot for being helpful, I appreciate it!

Happy holidays,

How do you find their ip?

[Tomcat]

When you intiate a steam id ban usally when the player is in the server currently it logs ip

[coolzeldad]

How do you find their ip?

Can also use sourcebans under server list - right click on player and ban.

It'll get player details.

^DDoS'er

Did indeed ban him/her

Chat still ongoing, will post full one when he stops

[Xrain]

Yea when someone steam calls you if they are sniffing for it they can get your IP, but yea he seems like he has an authority complex. "I will arrange game time for you!" lol...

I have to admit this one is a bit more interesting than the others, most of the DoSers have just been butt hurt people who have gotten themselves banned.
