General Discussion / I may have been attacked by someone.
« on: September 01, 2014, 08:14:20 PM »
So, I was spending time on my server, minding my own business, until I got a lag spike. Nothing special, I thought, I get those from time to time. Except this one was much longer, lasting up to 5 minutes.
My latency soared to the ten thousands in less than a minute, and went on to twenty, thirty, even forty. And it wasn't just me, too, other users were drastically affected. It wasn't limited to Blockland either; webpages just didn't load, no matter how much I waited.
The users on at the time were {Senpai} (40935) and klay (45755) though I'm willing to believe that this was the work of Cca, a user well known for using hacks and crashing servers and fellow Blockland players. Cca was on my server a while ago for a very short period of time (like, a couple minutes), yet he wasn't doing anything malicious yet. I could believe he was tracing my IP to start the attack, and that wasn't too far-fetched considering he was able to find the IPs of lots of players.
Here's a picture of my latency. As you can tell, it fluctuated heavily.
What do you guys think about this? It could be a regular internet brainfart, but considering Cca said something about coming back for round 3 and that he joined a bit after he said that, I'm a little scared.
