HammerHost dedicated hosting service :: Clients, get your files

[Hammereditor5]

I will do it with the Node.js server, then. It was supposed to be only for web sockets but I guess I can make it process a file upload. Tomcat is giving me a headache; I'm closing the I/O objects properly and discarding all buffers and writing everything to disk.

I somehow got this to work with Apache Tomcat without spamming the RAM. I changed the max. memory cache size to 2 KB from 2 MB. Originally, I thought the "2 MB" reffered to the total size of the files, so if the total size of the uploaded files was greater that 2 MB, they would not be disk-cached. But I was wrong: the 2 MB is on a per-file basis, and a lot of Blockland add-ons are smaller than 2 MB. So I'm not removing the feature!

I shut down your Blockland server because it was getting DDoS'd. Seriously, the error message tells you to check if the BL server is running.

nvm

Is hammerhost currently down?

Yes, it's a DDoS attack. In the meantime until this ends, I will improve the control panel.

Its always down

Its always down

how is my server up then?

Furdle, still being a pretentious richard. It's been up for the past few weeks straight, and it goes down once thanks to a DDoS that even RTB couldn't protect against (and it's back up, I think), and you say that HH is always down? Wow.

Its always down

Didnt you get banned last time you flammed Hammerhost?

[Hammereditor5]

Its always down

You know that when there are no DoS attacks, the uptime is more like 99.92% instead of 0%?

how is my server up then?

At random points during the day, the attacker temporarily stops and then switches their attack around.

I find it funny how all the stuffty servers went down with the service.

The DDoS is classified as a DrDoS (distributed reflection denial-of-service) attack. What basically happens is that a misconfigured UDP server exists. The hacker, who wants to attack HammerHost, sends small UDP packets to that server, spoofing the IP address. The misconfigured server receives the packets, and thinks that they came from HammerHost. So it sends reply packets to HammerHost even though HammerHost didn't request them. The replies are many times larger than the spoofed requests the hacker sent. So it's an inexpensive way for a hacker to do a UDP flood. The specific protocol I'm being hit with is NTP (Network time protocol), and the attacker is targeting port 30800 (Buttman's server), meaning they are probably a Blockland player. That is all the information I will reveal for now.

P.S.: A similar thing happened to HamHost last year except it was a different protocol.

Can't you just block incoming signals from the IP and continue on your merry way?

It's not hard to block since the destination port is 30800 and the origin port of the packets is 123. Unfortunately the attack is probably based on pure bandwidth: the attacker's upload speed is larger than my download speed.

We can do without your input

You know at least he's doing something for the community. If you're so pretentious then let's see you host servers. You'll probably hate all your clients anyways.
I don't support hammerhost but all you're doing is stuff posting
