Game servers are often attacked. What causes the game server to be attacked? Competitors come to attack your server, making your server unable to operate normally, the game is very stuck or all servers are attacked and paralyzed, players will go to competitors to play. There are also some pseudo-hacking enthusiasts or beginners, try your hand with the server to see how your skills are
Regardless of whether the game server is personal or corporate, it is very common and unavoidable to be attacked. Especially when the game is newly launched, what kind of external pressure must be withstood, the sudden increase of players, being attacked, etc. If you can't bear it, you may directly announce the closure of the game. Here, let's talk about some reasons why the game server is always attacked and how to defend the game server.
The methods of dealing with such attacks mainly include the following points:
1. Programs such as website applications have been tampered with
2. The domain name is hacked
As long as such an attack occurs, the website application will lose the control authority of the domain name due to the attack, and the domain name will be bound and resolved to the hacker website. Once it is pan-analyzed, the weight will be dispersed, causing distrust of search engines and security platforms. , severe will be directly K.
3. The most important and common complex DDoS and CC attacks
DDoS: Use server technology to combine multiple computers to send DDoS attacks to one or more target game servers at the same time, so as to increase the ability to attack game servers. When the game server is attacked, it will occupy and consume the resources of the server, which seriously directly leads to the paralysis of the game server, making the game server unable to operate normally.
Solution to game server being attacked
1. Ensure server system security
Administrators need to check all hosts, know the source of visitors, check the logs of network devices and host/server systems, and use tools to filter unnecessary services and ports, limit the number of SYN semi-connections opened at the same time, and ensure the server's System files are the latest versions, and system patches are updated in time.
2. Use CDN to accelerate services
High Defense CDN acceleration has the function of defending against various attacks, so it is indispensable to add CDN acceleration to solve the security of game websites. CDN acceleration not only accelerates game websites, but also uses CDN to resolve all domain names and subdomains, hides real IP addresses, and protects website security.
3. Purchase a high-defense solution
It is one of the most popular methods of defending against DDoS in the game, and the price is cheap, which is the most important advantage of this method. Generally, the high-defense computer rooms are located in Foshan, Guangdong and other places, and the merchants are basically traditional IDCs, which directly sell high-defense servers. At the same time, we only need to deploy the game to the other party's server, and everything is ready, which is not particularly different from our own ordinary server.
The most important part of the high-defense server is the high-defense computer room. First of all, we need to migrate the corresponding resources to the other computer room. Operations such as opening the server and operating the black and white list are extremely troublesome, and the time is relatively long. Sometimes there will be situations where no one can be found. . In this era when service is king, being able to find people no matter what the situation is is even more important for the anti-DDoS industry.
