Thats really sad dave. I hope I wont have to go that far. A guy appeared on
my forums today claiming that running a deathrun awards system is his idea.
Since I scripted an deathrun award system. He must have flooded the servers
just recently like 2-3 hours ago. He was threatning to flood them again. Is
there any trace back such attacks? The other guy is at the same provider as
Iam. I already talked to my provider and if I can get proof that it was
really him then they would also take actions against him by taking down his
servers. I didnt find no way to trace him back so I would like to get some
ideas how to trace back a flooder when he is attacking or attacked me.
to the last incident:
My provider advised me to just take down the public port lol, but then
nobody could connect tomy server. My bandwith usage is getting pretty high
lately since numerous people tried to take us down.

My university was forced to shut down our rank 1-4 (worldwide) zombie
CS:S server about 2 years
ago due to very large amounts of DDoS attacks... It appears you are
being attacking in the same way...
I'm not aware of any solutions, but I suggest you look into ways of
preventing DDoS attacks.
A router with even mediocre firmware may be able to filter out a few of
the attackers, but if you
are being attacked by thousands (via a controlled [probably infected]
network), it's pretty hard to do anything.
