Tranquility DDoS - 2020/05/03-08

You’re obviously trolling, but I feel people who read the forums deserve a counterpoint to your crazy claims.

  1. Multiple people including myself have observed network traces showing very conclusively where the traffic drops during connectivity issues. This is very clearly and conclusively a DDoS. Anyone can verify this using simple tools.

  2. Care to share the “security websites” that monitor ongoing DDoS, the data sources that they use, and the scope of their monitoring?

You are spreading unsubstantiated fear, uncertainty, doubt. Not what we need right now.

Edit: Since I’m asking you to show your work - I’ll share mine. This is what a connection drop looks like right now.

Unless…

COVID19 mutated from a bio-virus to electronic and is attacking CCP servers, on its way to taking out all the electronics in the whole world…

… OK, will someone please get me back in the game. Lockdown is bad enough, but lockdown without EVE, its clearly scrambling my brain.

I feel like a hyperactive 10 yo with ADHD.

Getting bored now… does it show yet?

:stuck_out_tongue:

Did you try to just change ip addresses and ports, change this in the launcher, and create a micro update? Well, as an option …

Well, I certainly picked a time to come back.

EVE wouldn’t be the same without the occasional DDoS siege.

Hilmar explained what the DDOS was about, China getting well shipped off to China & confronting RMT botters, who got salty.

Ahhh, yes… the tantrums people throw when told they have to follow the rules…

Briefly. For what they fought, they ran into it.

Whoa there, Connection is not as good as I thought. I bought a Gold Starter pack over an hour ago, and I have the receipt from 19:43 EVE time. It is 21:03 and no goodies have shown up despite relogging 3 times.

Soooo, maybe you have a problem with connection of the payment server to the game server?

You’re asking me to show that there are NOT indicators on the seven main industry sites that show global DDoS attacks?

You’re kidding right?

Just because YOU show ping problems doesn’t mean there’s an external problem.

CCP is perfectly capable of having messed up their internal server-to-server communication badly enough that they disrupt their own network.

Google “DDoS heatmap” and work out from there. There are six or seven that are very accurate and operate in real time. I won’t list them here and I won’t make a recommendation as to which is the most accurate or relevant (that’d be violating a trust).

But there are companies out there, mostly remediation and anti-virus companies, that post this information publically with both real-time and historical data.

There is no DDoS attack.

The packet losses you’re seeing there are internal to NTT, a mitigation service, not from outside.

My guess is that NTT has some filtering going on that’s taking too long and packets are getting lost in the shuffle.

Likely that’s the result of a datafile that CCP gave them that’s either not optimized or not complete.

It would certainly at least partially explain why Omega accounts are hit harder by this.

Reboot, then if you still can’t launch the game, check if anything here (bottom of page) can solve it for you - https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us

thanks, Cap

I’ve already cleared the cookies, and reinstalled the client and checked Windows updates. And nothing!!! even the client is not loaded to the end … The logo in the cube is played with itself, and that’s it …

Hello I too lost a ship on a mission, took over a minute for my logi alt to warp to the entry accel gate, but alas to no avail, I have filed a support ticket for that at the time as well. Good luck resolving the server issues though!

I’ve already finished a bottle of bourbon, but the game didn’t load, even the client doesn’t give out an account exporter … it just twists the download …

25/5000

Gif with Dade respect!

so now 2 out of the 3 omega accounts I own can log on … but the 3rd … my main … can get threw the launcher and select his character … my 2 alts show him connect … then disconnect … I would really like to get my ship at least docked

Condescending non-answer to a legitimate question on sources you used to reach your conclusion.

From my end, I’m using publicly available Hurricane Electric looking glass service to check routes from various he.net routers to CCP Tranquility. Makes it easy to see which geographic region is affected, and where traffic drops. You sound like a competent person so I’m not explaining this to you but showing my work for interest of whoever may read this.

YES! Now we’re getting somewhere.

NTT mitigation service is dropping packets…

What could be causing A DDoS mitigation service to - intermittently and unpredictably - over-aggressively filter traffic? Denying service to clients who happen to hit that route?

For the record, next hop should be siteprotect.security.neustar.

And now we’re back to unsubstantiated speculation.

Can’t receive verification code by email, nothing in inbox after about 1 hour.

so my 2 alts log in fine … no problem … I cant even get my main to stay logged in for more than 5 sec befor it says " Network communication between your computer and the EVE Online server has been interrupted.
This may be caused by local internet connectivity issues, by a server reboot, or by a temporary network disruption between your location and the EVE Online data center." but my other 2 characters are setting in dock lol

is rhere any suggestion to do when you stuck on loading screan after log in title to the game? I tried re-connect but still no change
