Exploit Attack
It came to my attention that about 10 minutes ago for the last who knows how long, Tigers Network Classic Play and Speed Blast were the subject of a variety of DoS exploit attack. I hope the little **** tards that have done this are happy now. I will shortly be locating their IPs, iptables banning them from the servers and these forums, and sending off an email to their ISPs. Doing this sort of shit is a one way ticket to hell in my book, and really, really, pisses me off.

tigers classic is one of the few remaining 0260 servers in armagetron and for me its the most playable
hope you have it back soon tank
good luck

edit: tank would it be too much to ask if you could keep classic as 0260 with the addition of the security fix code

Yeah, Swampland was recently targetted too. I sent swampy an email about it. I was able to lure the guy into a test 0.2.8 server where I was able to snag his IP address. When I emailed his ISP with it within 20 minutes, I received an email that "It happened too long ago for us to properly trace the IP address". I emailed them back with "This was 20 minutes ago!" and got nothing.
I don't know if it was the same guy, and it's likely not, but we can take this over to the server admins forum if you want. I think I still have the IP address somewhere.
(It was the same Sean that nemo started the thread about kick-spamming, turns out that when antagonized he'll actually attack, but if you push antagonizing him, he goes away)

Hmm, that doesn't sound great Lucifer... What I'm working on now are some iptables rules that will let me get info of all people sending packets to the port. Or something like that. I'm working on it.
As for you iceman, I know your connection and hardware makes the 0.2.6.0 gameplay the only reasonable experience for you. However, 0.2.6.1 does not have the remote admin, which would be crucial, and does not, iirc, fix the rip crash bugs.
It may just be time to face that the era of Tigers Network has come to an end, much the same as the era of Armagoshdarn did. I do hope that this is not the case, but the changes that will be undergone moving to 0.2.8.0 I fear will be drastic.
I hope to be back up by Monday. Sorry everyone.

Tank... for that port scan stuff, if needed, get in touch with AntiX...
he's a member here, so you'll have his e-mail addy.
He runs my main server, and has port scan and several other
security things on it.
His website is http://www.distortgaming.com

Yeah,... 0.2.6 style gameplay is dying out ... but losing a community like this would be sad...Tank Program wrote:It may just be time to face that the era of Tigers Network has come to an end, much the same as the era of Armagoshdarn did.

I would prefer Tigers Network Classic Play to be replaced by, say, Tigers Network New Classic ... although the 'classic' would be, well, inaccurate.... but then at least the people would find it...
on the grid as ~free::zombie~

tank cant you just insert the security fix into your current 02602b code and recompile ?
ive played in 0271 servers and it seems that no skill is needed what so ever and im able to crash into a wall then turn and survive with a perfect tight grind ???
if you are going to use 0280 code for tigers then I hope this fault has been fixed
I hope you will keep classic as 02602b+fix

If there's demand, we can surely release a 0.2.6.2 (with the one rubber change from 0.2.6.0 to 0.2.6.1 you did not like (for a reason) removed, that's already in CVS) with some small features (settings probably mostly, the console log manipulation so you see the IPs of players) backported and security fixes and some of the stuff that's been done by Tank inofficially (If Tank does not object).
Security fixes? What fix are you refering to specially, Iceman?
Related question: What type of DOS attack was used on Tank's servers? What was the effect?
About 0.2.8.0: Well, the problem with the cozy feeling of 0.2.6.0 is that it was caused by a fortunate coming together of various bugs... For example, the fact that you could not sit in front of a wall until your rubber ran out was caused by a) your client letting your cycle phase through the wall in front of you on updates and b) the server taking the following "drive through that wall, then turn" command of the client literally. It should be possible to get some of the old feeling back (with more reliability) by drastically lowering the rubber settings, as Lucifer already reported. For a "pure" 0.2.8.0 server or one that does not care that 0.2.7.x rubber meters will be off, it will also be possible to let the rubber recover faster; the bugs of 0.2.6.0 basically did not care about your rubber supply.
