Understanding DDoS attacks

[Kears]

Just to share, since I came across this during my work today:

For fellow UOF residents, we may need to be more understanding as these attacks are happening everywhere, everyday. See below link for ThreatPortal data:

According to my knowledge, all of Fortune 500 companies are Checkpoint customers.

But of course, this is likely an expensive solution out there.. may or may not apply to game hosting..


Cheers.

the problem with ddos attacks is that it might not actually be the UO server that is targeted but rather the whole network in which our precious server is hosted. Sucks ass.

You can't do most of the ddos protection with games because it adds too much latency or the methods that they use just don't apply.
