instead of #SSDD its #SSA (Somer strikes again)

Exactly. DDoS is such a mundane, everyday predictable attack, you can just pick up a security appliance like this Checkpoint CPAP-DP4412 and drop it into your rack.

Will it work? For this last amateurish attack, yeah, it might be all you'll need. If not - as I've stated before - there's dozens of other highly effective strategies you can deploy. European castle, Asian castle, pre-filtering through your gateway load balancers (if you deploy load balancers), targeted stateful packet inspection from your primary firewall, or your secondary firewall, or both, etc.

Easy, yes. Cheap, no. That Checkpoint appliance alone runs about USD 70K. You can almost buy a Tesla for that.

It's an absurd notion that you can't utterly defeat a script kiddy DDoS attack. Amazon.com is victimized by DDoS all the time and it's never down. Microsoft.com is the most hacked/attacked site on the internet and it has been for 20 years, but it's never down. Never. They couldn't care less about DDoS attacks because they've deployed many layers of defenses against it. Microsoft.com was happy to have a Bill Gates budget to do it, though.

I think CCP pissed off the Russians.

Down again in the UK?

Not sure how I feel about compensation for just one day. But either way. It's not outrageous to expect compensation when you haven't provided a certain product to those who have paid for it. A small helping of unalocated SP would be a good gesture. You'd still have whiners. But thier going to whine no matter what.

But like I said. Worse case scenario, timewise, most anybody has lost is a days worth of skill point training. So compensation may be negligible anyway.

B+ªring Gunnar Stein+++¦rsson at CCP has set up a webpage showing the seismic activity under the B+ír+¦arbunga volcano, located under Vatnaj+¦kull glacier, in 3D.
B+ªring uses the data from apis.is, visir.is reports.

but why you useing our paid for servers to run your little science project?

No offense, but if your life revolves around the availability of a video game and you seek compensation for downtime then you need to review your life.

Yeppers. There's that too.

As long as you gave him this money to play eve and that's what you were doing, it's no longer your money but his money. So what he's doing with it is no longer your business as long as it isn't illegal. And in my opinion, survey a volvano near the place i live is quite a good activity to let me the time to pick up my family and drive away.

Did you give monthly your boss a report of your activties and the related use of his money ?

Boss: I minused your salary by 19$-úGé¼ cause you used it for online gaming and i'm not agree with this kind of activities.

I do want to know what's going on what that damm volcano, though, and I do want snotnosed script kiddies heavily fined and put in jail for stealing my bought-and-paid-for game time.

In the USA you get a 20,000 fine for stealing a 99 cent song so these guys would probably get life in prison without parole. The problem is many hackers come from countries where they're not interested in finding or locking them up.

I'm not saying give them prison time but at least put them on probation where they're not allowed to use computers for a year or so.

some people play this as a break from what you call RL. you know, getting up at 5am everyday with baby, cleaning up, changing his nappies, making him milk, and real food, then repeat cleaning and nappy process again, b4 its time for lunch maybe youll have enough time to clean the dishes and other house work b4 then, so you can repet the process again and again, with maybe an hours break to "PLAY EVE" b4 bed time so you can start REAL LIFE over again like groundhog day tomorrow.

YOU GOT NO CLUE WHAT REAL LIFE IS, or peoples time for R&R

Or, trace route their activities, find their places, publish them and let the nearby community physicaly solve the problem. \o/

Would it be possible for CCP to give us a number on how many queries they had to deal with above their usual amount or is this restricted information for security reasons?

If i was CCP, i wouldn't waste money on preventing this kid's attack.. For one, he gets distracted too quickly, servers were interrupted for what? 60 seconds this time?

If he does it again, expect the servers to be back normal within the hour.
