During the past 2 months my servers (both steam-machine.sytes.net and armagetronad.de) were attacked.
Because the attacks against both Servers, which are only used for ArmagetronAd, happen at the same time
I assume the suspects are ArmagetronAd-players.

I wanted to make neither money, nor fame with these projects.
Therefore I do not understand, why any idiots want to bad-make my enthusiasm for the game
and my solidarity for the players - however: it is done.

There will be no more servers hosted by me in foreseeable time.

I apologise to all the people, which had their server hosted here.

So long!

Also, I was informed by FreeHostia (the hoster I use for the forums), that they are banning my account indefinately. Here's what they sent me:

Dear Durka

Your hosting account 'durdur' has violated the #1 rule that Free Hostia enforces - No pornographic images are allowed anywhere.

During our weekly scan of all of our databases, we came upon 3 pornographic pictures. We then looked around your site as to where they might be and we stumbled upon them. Not only were they porn pictures, they were the most disgusting images we've ever seen.

The pictures were found in the following place: http://durka.freehostia.com/viewtopic.php?p=13303#13303

Thus, having violated our #1 policy, your account will be banned indefinately. Be more responsible next time, but your IP has been logged and we will not be distributing you any more hosting any time soon.

Best Regards,
Free Hostia Team
So guys, I'm really sorry, but this is definately not what I wanted to happen. Both this site and the server are being taken away from me for things I didn't even do .

It was nice playing/chatting with all you guys.

Good times, Durka

P.S. The site won't be shut down until early next week, so we can still chat it up .

Bummer, Sorry to hear this.

With Sylv's news and now this I might as well go back to bed before any more tragic events take place.

Durka, try to get a dump of the database and then come talk to me. Particularly if Rico's pieces come through...

I've noticed increased attempts of searches for Command-Execution-Exploits, SQL-Injection-Exploits on my servers, as well as DDoS and Brute-Force attempts - on both of my servers, which i used for ArmagetronAd only (hosted on different providers!) during the past month. Most of them starting from equivalent IP-Ranges.

Norm told me about similar attacks on his own and on Palatinum's Server (see Norm's last post on this page (has to be translated from german): http://nixda.net/forum/thread.php?threa ... stid=16773).

Pala already makes a police report...
