(wL) Forums

Some members of the WT-F community are targeting our servers. A few attacks were directly linked to them.

One of the attackers, [WTF] backwards [DEV], made no effort to hide the source of the attack nor his involvement. He sent unspoofed attack traffic from his test server, 199.116.118.27 [IMG], and did so immediately after connecting in-game.


Here is part of a TCPDump showing the attack traffic in question:

I'm not entirely sure whether they were involved in the larger 40Gbps DDoS attacks. However, it's beginning to look like they were behind most or all of the subsequent smaller attacks we suffered around the time of relocating to Texas and Kansas. At the time, a few people even suggested as much. I guess they were right... backwards' presence on the (wL) servers is tied to dates we were attacked. It looks like he's been at this a while.

They're just sad and trying to deny DDoSing us even though you have the proof right there..

Heh and yet they cant man up and admit it lol

They are also kicking people with the wL name tag because it's "advertising". What a bunch of hypocrites.

Edit: I've been told multiple times by a WT-F admin not to wear the wL community tag months before this so just change the kicking to banning. Thanks for pointing that out smartass. Give yourself pat in the back.

Why WT-F is DDoS-ing US server? I'm from asia and I'm kinda new to warlords. Is there any feud between the two community?

Back in Feb last year, wL was hit with a huge DDoS that took out most of our US servers.. 4 of our mostly populated servers died because of it. Shortly earlier or later (can't remember), WT-F set up a Popular Maps server and most of our regulars moved on to that server. We decided to set up Kill4 as a sub community of wL and now they're being attacked as we populate them. Bison traced it back to the said guy, not sure if he is acting of behalf of WT-F or just himself.

This is what I remember, probably missing some details.
