MechWarrior: Living Legends » Community Wiki http://www.mechlivinglegends.net Crysis Total Conversion Modification Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:55:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 DOS Attack @ MWLL Wiki http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/2010-12/dos-attack-mwll-wiki/ http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/2010-12/dos-attack-mwll-wiki/#comments Sat, 18 Dec 2010 11:39:23 +0000 Seraph http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/?p=924 Another random person on the web tried to get into our MWLL Wiki trying to brute force their way through our login site. So far we haven’t found any successful attempts in hijacking a user account and no changes to the Wiki have been logged. It might just have been another robot tried to get data it was not supposed to.

This attack was originating from a single address starting at 18/Dec/2010:10:49:14 resulting in 12049 attempts to access the login page. We have added this address to our blocklist denying all and any access to our server.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused when accessing our services.

Feel free to discuss this post in our existing forum post.

As it turned out the MWLL Wiki has been a target of a fake robot pretending to be Majestic-12 (http://www.majestic12.co.uk/projects/dsearch/mj12bot.php) which caused the server to run under very high load. We have been able to identify the offending IP’s and started rejecting them. Server load is now running as low as usual again without any interruptions of other sites.

The intentions of those fake robots are unknown but likely they only farmed same data found on the website. No other parts of the system were affected by the robot, no access was gained during the attack.

Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please discuss this post in our forum.

Go ahead and check it out at wiki.mechlivinglegends.net and give your thanks to Sky_Walker who made all this possible.

The results were more than impressive and the team would like to thank all contributors for their hard work. No less than 19 different people contributed to the wiki since its launch, creating 81 pages with actual content and uploading 39 images. Since its launch, the Wiki has been viewed more than 20,000 times by almost 2300 unique visitors already, who created more than 500MB of traffic in this short period of time.

As a little gesture of our thankfulness and respect for this achievement and the quality of the volunteer team’s work, we’ve decided to replace all links from our factions pages for Inner Sphere and Clans with links to the according pages in the Wiki – until further notice.

Thank you everyone and keep up the good work!

As a last remark for this post and to avoid any confusion, we’d like to state again that Sky_walker is not part of the MWLL dev team at this time, but ‘just’ a very dedicated member of MWLL’s fantastic community. Therefore, please abstain from contacting him regarding MWLL development as has happened in the past.

Today, we’re proud to announce that a member of MWLL’s fantastic community has taken charge of it: please say hello to Sky_Walker as new administrator of the Wiki. Another change regarding the Wiki: registration is now required before you’re allowed to create or modify content.

]]> http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/2010-02/community-wiki-community-administrator-appointed/feed/ 0 MWLL: Community Wiki launched http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/2010-02/mwll-community-wiki-launched/ http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/2010-02/mwll-community-wiki-launched/#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:45:09 +0000 AoP http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/?p=295 It has been asked for and we did heed the call: today, we give to you the MWLL Community Wiki at http://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net

When we say “we give to you”, that is exactly what we mean: this Wiki will absolutely and only live by your participation, it is a “Community Wiki”. Therefore, please ensure that when you create content on this wiki, it is correct and valid as you will be responsible for the quality of this Wiki as an informational resource, not just for new players of course.

If there is additional need for discussion that’s too extensive to be comfortably held in the articles’ talk pages, there is now also a separate sub-forum for the MWLL Wiki on our main forums.
