Hammer.

Run Rkill for a temporary fix.

This program found no issues at all.
Also, I unzipped all the back-up files, and scanned them with Norton 360 on my computer.
There were no viruses found.
So I'm beginning to think this is not a malicious attack, and it's some other error.

DDoS fixed!
I have blocked incoming UDP port 19 with the firewall, and the DDoS attack magically stopped!

EDIT:
There was never a computer virus!
After researching some stuff about how UDP port 19 can be exploited for DoS attacks, I reasoned out that a hacker is using the Chargen service on my VPS to send spammy data to the victim.
During server set-up 2 months ago, I think I installed 'Complex network services' or something like that. And I think the role configurator enabled the service.
The Chargen service is where a client connects to a server on UDP port 19, and the server sends a stream of random numbers or characters back to the client.
Connection logs on my VPS have shown that Skial.com has frequently been using the Chargen service. And they are the victim.
The VPS will not be reset!

At least this reminded me to make a complete back-up of the whole system.

Thank god

why exactly are you telling us this? don't do that, we don't give a stuff and it's too complicated for us mundane forgets. dealing with this is your job, and you handled it - we just want the meat:

win vvvvvvvv

After doing extensive research, I have determined with X% certainty that the issues are caused by an unused service I enabled a few months ago. This service was being exploited to send a bunch of data to a remote victim, causing lag on our end.
User data has not been compromised, and the error has been fixed.
The VPS will not be reset!
If you want more specific details, PM me.

win ^^^^^^^^


that last bit is optional, and you should be 100% sure you've actually closed the hole - someone might try to exploit it again.

I swear everything you post is completely backwards. People who pay money for a service generally want some detail about why it went down beyond "theres a virus lol" - you asking someone to provide less information is pretty much in line with the usual mindless bullstuff you post. Bonus points for consistency I guess!

Do you not have RTB Hammer?

Do you not have RTB Hammer?

he probably isn't allowed on it for the same reason kalphiter isn't

For having a hosting service? I kind of doubt that.

no, for being a little sperglord

I was banned practically because Ephialtes hates me, on the pretext of being the same person as Pacnet and spamming the RTB add-on submission system.

[WALDO]

and spamming the RTB add-on submission system.

Why would you even do that? You are just annoying the moderators who are trying to go through the holding tank.

[DiceyGrammar]

because Ephialtes hates me .... spamming the RTB add-on submission system.

...

you really are progressing towards being kalphiter junior

But he didn't, his brother did. Using a different account.

[Ephialtes]

If an account attacks RTB I'm going to ban all accounts linked to that one to prevent a re-occurrence -  From my perspective, one IP is one person. I barely have the time to maintain the service, let alone deal with stupid children who decide to attack me for my attention.

You got banned because your brother's a cunt - turnips for you.
