Nothing in the logs? searched for "Xmpp" and didn't see anything, also unsure what it would reveal anyways...it was definitely DDOS, as evidenced in depth by several others in various threads as of late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since A24 the attacker cannot obtain your IP without joining your game. Only if he had it before can he attack you. But he need some way to know you're online.

I agree with what you're saying, too, I haven't hosted a game in a long time, nor have I played with anyone unknown to me (aka not a DDOSer, as far as I can tell), so I think from one of those instances months ago when I used to host someone wrote down my IP and is now using it. A DDOSer attacking my IP directly wouldn't appear in the mainlog, though, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was if you came with a brand new IP and it happened again the attacker would have had to somehow join you game at some point and that would be in the mainlog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankforpieOfficial Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Age Of Empires 3 is ddosing 0 A.D. to stop its increase in popularity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomba Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I stopped playing 0ad for 2 months or so because of the ddos. I started playing again since release and the ddos still there..... My internet was suddenly gone for 3-5 minutes in 2 teamgames I played today. I think this @#$% isnt going to stop ever. Its so sad that such a nice game as 0ad with the A24 release(Yeah I like the new version) is unplayable because of the ddos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I am experiencing the exact same issue as Tomba. Today 3 consecutive games of mine were attacked, the symptoms are players losing connection to the server and the lobby displays an I/O error. When I was hosting my entire home wifi was taken out; the router indicates no issues and good connection (all green lights) with much data flowing into my home. During the entire time my network infrastructure was fully functional, and my ISP has reported no shortage or formal wifi cut. Therefore it is very likely to be a deliberate attack using DOS method. Can the network forensics find the responsible characters and can the devs come up a way to prevent this? These attacks really ruin the experience. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If people are recording such an attack with e.g. wireshark and it's really 0ad that is getting DDOSed, we might be able to improve things by getting a look at the records. But if the attack is against your router or against your whole PC we can't do much against it. (A single car also can do nothing if someone jumps on the street and causes a traffic jam) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Thank you. Can you recommend any software that can block ddos packets? What is wireshark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A program that looks at network traffic at a very low level as in what is in each packet that is send or received exactly.
