Server ip: smp.opticraft.net
Status: Online
Hi guys,
As you are all aware SMP is currently offline. Don't worry - it's coming back soon (hopefully in the next few hours). No data has been lost - it is just a larger then normal DDOS attack. Currently working with that datacentre to resolve this and solve it for future attacks. I'll update the status once it changes.
Cheers!
Update: Server is back online. Just waiting for DNS to propagate. Can connect directly with the IP temporarily: 192.169.93.34 - but do not use this in long term!
-
Do you have any idea who planned the DDOS?

No - doubt I'd know who they were even if they told me, not that it really matters.
-
Oh No!!! I hope everything it backed up D: and what is DDOS?
-
hope it is back up soon
and it is a Distributed denial of service
a sort of hack
Also has this shut down the live map?
-
Are we the targets, or is the host being hit by one in general?

We are the target.
-
how long has it been down so far?

Obviously guys.
It was this (http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,18054.0.html) guy who told us he was gonna DDoS it. And he did. Eventually.

Totally..

Everyone stay calm, and for anyone who doesn't know what a DDos attack is. Basically someone is using a program to send large data packets to the server. It causes it to lag out and crash. Your accounts are not at risk, it's a novice level hack but does cause servers to restart.
Thanks Optical for looking into a solution to protect us in the future.

Awww damn I didnt watch the video because its private. That dude must be humiliated, I would be I mean I wouldn't hack anyone at all (plainly because I dont even know what hacking id let alone how to do it) but its so mean that someone would make videos of opti then hack us before the valentines party
-
Aw I hope its open again for the dance
-
Should be up within the hour - just waiting on DNS to propagate. If you want to connect in the meanwhile, use this ip: 192.169.93.34
- Please dont save this IP as it may change in the future - stick with smp.opticraft.net once it works again for you.
-
Cheers Opti.
-
thanks :D
-
Oh how I love you opticalza
-
Thanks opti!

just for the record guys ddos isn't really hacking. it equates more to me calling your phone over and over until no one else can call your phone because i constantly am.
It used to be that you could do this from a single computer (phone) but servers got smart and now limit the number of pings (calls) per second.
so pretty much what happens now is some stupid kid somewhere pays a botnet company (bunch of people sitting around at a call center) to have all the computers they control (employees at phones) ping your server (call your phone) over and over again to "distribute" the pings per second (calls per second)
no hacker in the true sense of the word gives 2 s**ts about attacking a minecraft server, and ddos-ing someone is beneath them, there's much stealthier ways to infiltrate and disturb a servers infrastructure.
so yea this wasn't a hack done by a hacker.... it was a disgruntled child throwing a tantrum with mommy's credit card.

points finger at gavin (not really)

I feel like everyone who has their Facebook "hacked" should know this too.

That is entirely different lol...
To hack a facebook account you either need to steal session ids using arp spoofing. This is basically tricking facebook to send the login data through a fake-router before connecting to the internet. This is fairly easy to do, but is basically not possible being as facebook has encrypted passwords.(You can arp-spoof through apps on a rooted android phone to show how easy it is.)
Or you would have to "phish" facebook passwords which requires pretty deep knowledge and tools... So hacking facebook passwords is much harder than ddosing.

Being a hacker on facebook means taking someones phone that automatically logs them in and typing something, anyway back on topic; thanks opti

lol no you're over complicating it.

lol this is how it happens like 80% of the time so nail on the head
the other options are tricking people into going to a false fb login link and scamming them (not hacking anything)
or tricking them into downloading a key logger, which is again a scam not a hack
people like blaming their mistakes on hackers because then it's outa their control, but in reality it's usually them falling for some kind of scam and downloading something they shouldn't or logging in where they shouldn't.

and it's as easy as that.
