We are here and then we are not…

Somebody tries to hack our server at the moment with a high frequency, which causes the server to give up and automatically restart itself. Not much to do about this, we'll just have to sit it out.

Besides that I also feel very popular now with receiving over a 1000 mails in a short time

Ah ic. I was going to post something since I was getting lots of errors.

hopefully those idiots will go away. I just don't see the point of hacking this site

Some of us don't use social networks - data with e-mails and nicks sells like a cure.

You need to get some DDoS protection

Yeah right. Like we can afford the additional reverse proxy servers.

I guess video games are now considered evil now, along with most other things…too much white supremacy and Nazism involved!

I bet it's because of my latest entry in the "politics" sub-forum.

Your ISP can't block them for you?

I don't know if they are offering it as a service, but if they do, it will probably be expensive and I doubt it is worth it.

It was probably that Cleve guy. He doesn't like the way DArt and Fluent have been talking about Grimoire.

They are just waiting for our Grimoire review.

Also, 1000 emails Myrthos? Did you subscribe to a Russian dating service?

Just someone trying to do SQL injections. That gives me an email every time.

So we were gone for a bit I noticed. As I am at Gamescom I could not fix it, I assume Arhu did. The "funny" thing is that with every SQL query that fails I get an email. This allows me to optimize things and see if someone is trying SQL injections. However if MySQL is down, as was the case here, I get an email with every visitor trying to load the page. I have over 12.000 now
Perhaps I should find time somewhere to not send them in this specific situation…

Could be an inside job. We may have a Codexian agent at work here.

Last year it went wrong a week after Gamescom. Now just before Gamescom.
Could be a coincidence, but perhaps there is a conspiracy somewhere.

$20/month for basic DDoS protection here:

And this is only with DDOS attacks, imagine what'd happen if they were DWindows attacks! ok I'll show myself out.

DLinux attacks would be worse, we are running on that.

Seems the injection was partially successful ? This thread cannot be looked at : https://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37369

Plus, the person there could make this thread without being there at all ( aka being "not registered".
