zBlock has nothing to do with a Distributed Denial of Service attack
Uhh yes, new version does block it. Hello, read Cadred maybe sometime? ViQun, are you trying to be funny or did you just quit reading after that line?

Isn't ddos'ing kinda like hacking? making it illegal to do. Another question: Would someone actually CARE about that?
2. Can you track where the ddos is coming from?
Read the doc Gryzor posted, it's quite nice and explains why you cant track DDoS: It's coming from a lot of pcs at the same time, and these are "remote controlled". So no, basically you cant track it. The thing we face here is in most cases NOT DDoS, but a simple DoS as it was explained already. Meaning, mostly it's spamming commands to certain ports to make the server lag and/or crash, or abusing server features etc.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81510 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 21:02:52 +0200 Reply by MasterBlaster https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-3/?recent=81523#post=81507 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81507 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:56:13 +0200 Reply by Wlv https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-3/?recent=81523#post=81506 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81506 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:53:38 +0200 Reply by GibbZ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-3/?recent=81523#post=81496 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81496 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:27:39 +0200 Reply by SuperFly- https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81491 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81491 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:02:29 +0200 Reply by end0 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81486 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81486 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:45:35 +0200 Reply by gryzor https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81466 you might as well whitelist the IPs of the players actually connecting to the server, including 1 stv relay. Wouldnt that work? It would work just as well as zBlock, but in a broader perspective, yes. This requires blocking done via IP-filtering though, not any ordinary "built-in" lists (I do not even know of any such things present in Source). What I _do_ know by personal experience, is that adding offenders IP to the "banned IP-list" is not enough for them to "pre-execute" commands, much less crash the server itself by sending bogus data to the port. It has to be done as described above to be effective. ... And after all said and done, the suggestion with "hidden" server(s) would solve all these issues in one go, so it'd be the "best" way of doing things.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81466 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:16:09 +0200 Reply by Xzar https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81465 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81465 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:14:37 +0200 Reply by waebi https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81461 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81461 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:05:34 +0200 Reply by Xzar https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81459 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81459 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:04:16 +0200 Reply by Xzar https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81454 Nobody likes you coming from nvc, I kinda lold :[]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81454 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:00:45 +0200 Reply by gryzor https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-4865/page-2/?recent=81523#post=81452 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=4865&post=81452 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 18:59:55 +0200
