Is there a way to figure out if your computer is enslaved into a bot network?
I run virusscans alot and I just ran one again cos I thought it was just little old me having the problem. I dont have virusses or, spyware or other unhealthy stuff going on it seems. Does that mean I'm not infected and thus not part of the botnetwork?

- We'll also be able to reset any lost/failed COSMOS, storyline, or Epic Arc missions so you'll have a fair shot at doing them again.
- Asset reimbursement for losses attributable to the DDoS will be strongly considered.

Install a good third party firewall that shows and allows control of incoming and outgoing connections, outbound filtering is what you need to have control over.
Mac: I use 'Little Snitch' Windows ? maybe a windows user can suggest a good one...
Outbound filtering FTW |

I am getting a funny feeling the attack was done by someone who doesnt know about the daily downtimes, I mean if you go through all the trouble of doing such an attack, wouldnt you time it better to make it as efficient as possible? |

there is no way to be 100% sure you are not, but a few basic things can make it higly unlikely.
1- SPI firewalls on network head (modem / modem-router) 2- firewalls on each computer on your local network 3- an up-to-date operating system, with user access control preferably 4- an antivirus software, with real time scanning and comportemental detection, with the latest update ( database and soft, should be done at least once/ day, and a daily quick scan ) this doesn't take more than 5 minutes usually
if you also are carefull about the websites you visits and the mail you receive (especially the atached content), there is very little risk.
now, there is still the possibility of a worm using 0-days but tbh, not much one can easily do in that regard.
if you are in doubt, it could also be a good idea to run a scan from an external OS (CD-rom / usb boot device) to ensure from an external POV the system is clean, this can help getting rid / ensuring there are no threats that would have disabled your antivirus |

anyway good luck to CCP and the hamsters, not fun for us, but definitely not fun for them either! |

Install a good third party firewall that shows and allows control of incoming and outgoing connections, outbound filtering is what you need to have control over. Mac: I use 'Little Snitch' Windows ? maybe a windows user can suggest a good one... Outbound filtering FTW the integrated windows firewall can do that, but not using the default settings, you need to get your hands under the hood a bit.
see: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/ac125536-37eb-44cf-ab4c-1ebd31cead2a/windows-7-firewall-outgoing-configuration?forum=w7itprosecurity
also, there are many 3rd party firewalls, able to do this.
but i shall warn that before installing or blocking outbound connections, one should know what he is doing.
unlike the other advice i gave a few post earlier, you could endup with non working softwares (or no network access AT ALL), and if you don't know how to configure firewalls, it an be a pain in the rear to solve the issue, so i would recommend it only if you have basic knwoledge regarding firewalls and networks |

Mac: I use 'Little Snitch' Windows ? maybe a windows user can suggest a good one... Outbound filtering FTW I use the Comodo toolset on Windows and I like it a lot. It has Firewall, Virusscan, Sandbox mode and other stuff for free. Also no annoying advertisement yet.
It shows in and outbound traffic in a very easy to understand way. However, with any third party firewall, you may run into issues when hosting/joining peer-to-peer games. Sometimes you may have to disable the firewall or put it into gaming mode. |

What year is it?
ICMP Echo (i.e. ping) floods are quite uncommon and rare these days.
Most DDoS attacks comprise of SYN Floods.
The latest and greatest in DDoS is that the script kiddies (i.e. noobs) have finally realised the potential for "amplification attacks" using NTP or DNS. The DNS Amplification attack is quite old, but since there are a lot of open resolvers on the Internet it still works. These typically range from a few Gbps up to 100-200Gbps.
The NTP Reflection/Amplification attack is considered "new" as it has been in the news recently, hitting targets with 400Gbps. (CloudFlare)
It should be noted that after the Open NTP Server Project went live, around 80% of open NTP servers are now not usable in this kind of amplification DDoS attack.
Tailoring a DoS attack against a specific type of service, is also common (but not as common as SYN floods). See "slowloris denial of service". (Slowloris most likely not the problem in this case.)
Last but not least, NTP and DNS Amplification attacks are hard to track/"triangulate", because the attacker sends a small spoofed packet where the source IP points to the target. It is known that some of these people performing DoS are quite often juveniles. The largest provider of DoS services are generally Russian. (Sorry, but that's generally the image in the community. That doesn't mean they choose the targets though.)
Anyway, I hope CCP finds a viable solution as DDoS'ing an online game is just plain annoying and stupid. Keep in mind some DDoS attacks are meant to cover other types of attacks, and I hope CCP will check their payment system for any suspicious activity as I'd rather not have any of my details disclosed despite that I don't use my credit card with EVE. |

We are currently investigating the attack and implementing countermeasures. We apologize for the inconvenience this may be causing players and hope to have functionality restored as soon as possible. Just google on UNDER ATTACK OF DDOS and you wil find a rappid solution . Link
I already recommended them to contact Prolexic. If their server is hosted in the UK, the attack could've originated from Romania: http://www.digitalattackmap.com/#anim=1&color=0&country=ALL&time=16129&view=map
Bandwidth: 247Mbps
If this is the attack, it's relatively small to some of the recent attacks.
To compare: 247Mbps == 0.25Gbps
Recent attack on CloudFlare: 400Gbps. |

Hahaha one single firewall will break down if it only has 100Mbps available and a DDoS attack is 110Mbps'ish. You need something far more powerful than a "good firewall". |

FYI filtering outbound SYN/ACK packets during a DDoS will still overwhelm the server. Plus you could easily lock out legitimate clients. Let's just not hope the root cause was this: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/member-of-anonymous-takes-credit-for-godaddy-attack/ tbh, it is very unlikely that one be victim of DDOS as a player, and a DDOS attack on a specific person using a regular consumer connection, will drop it, whatever the hardware behind it.
when you see how the cost scale, no point investing in DDOs resistant hardware unless you are a company |

I'd like to point out to the DEVS that stating all ships lost during a DDoS attack might be a bad move.
What if the loosing side in B-R decided to DDoS the server as "all ships lost during server issues are reimbursed"
