AwakenedRage

Hey everybody this is Michael aka Awakened Rage I want to clarify something.

What I did last night was a joke, but when Aly thought I was going to distribute his information that he gave to me in text chat and kept referencing the non-existant laws and incorrect facts it irritated me more and more and made me act irrationally. It made me want to prove him wrong by getting into his network  which I threatened I would do, but in reality I was only going to check if the IP was active and what ports were running on the network. (Which I admit I was fluking, and probably if I did that in that context it would be illegal) This threat was seen by Alycat in different context than I intended.

.

 This would have been fixable if I didn’t find out that Aly was talking behind my back by saying that I was “ruining cu”. This made me act harsh towards him on my last chance of possibly fixing this incident, rather because I have contributed a lot of resources to CU and I was offended. I told him to apologize and I would remove him from being unable to oonnect to my network. Which I admit, I regret entirely.

This post is supposed to give me closure so I am going to be 100% honest.

This act was very hypocritical of me, by getting mad at Maverick in December about being doxed when I did the same act that he did, but to a much less extent. I am no longer interested in doing this, I will never do it again due to this incident and I promise all of you that you can feel secure on the server.  I admit that this was extremely prejudice. I feel extremely guilty, you have no idea.

I regret my actions last night, I should of apologized to Aly but I didn’t. There is no excuse for this, but I feel you should all know that this can be done involuntarily by me.

You all may have noticed this repetitive behaviors of me, I no longer feel comfortable hiding this from you but I am diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. Asperger’s rarely affects me anymore, except for yesterdays case where I was unable to handle the situation properly. I do not want pity for that, nor do I want to be treated differently.

People with Asperger syndrome display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines

More Information will be released in the future, but my point of view has been hidden because I feel that it is disrespectful to Alycat and that he didn’t deserve to hear what I said.

Thanks,

Michael/ AR

I have removed the information regarding the last post, due to me realizing that I didnt handle the situation properly and over reacted.

If you didn't see the previous post on the attack yesterday then let me fill you in on what happened. Around yesterday afternoon at 3PM about 15 accounts joined in about 60 seconds with the same ip. We had this happen before and didn't think much of it and we just banned the IP address. But nothing happened when we banned the IP and the server was having trouble kicking them off the server due to a packet related issue. When we got on their server and asked them about it, they took credit for the spam attack and laughed.

I admit that the attack was very well thought out and bypassed our regular safety measures. Upon looking in the logs farther we found that business IP's were used in the attack and they were not classified as VPN's. At first I thoughtt that perhap's they worked at these companies, but now I realize that they were probably trafficing through that network to mislead where they really are at.

The IP's they had were very unique and started with a single digit, these IP's are typically used by dedicated servers, which made me think "Are they the ones who has been attacking us since December?"

The normal script kiddy attacker would not use a dedicated IP address or an IP Associated with a business to hide behind, so its a possibility.

All staff keep an eye on the IP's of players that join and if you find multiple users using the same IP question them for an explaination.

Apologies,

AR

LOL, you used the Debug room for character animations, we used this for the Login Screen and now you just reused it for this. XD

Let's keep milking it to get every penny we can!

LOL No,

but seriously lets not use this scene for anything else.

I don't want it to be repetitive.

   2. Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully.  It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
      1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
      2. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to the Company should be sent to: 1621 Santa Ana Ct, Munster, Indiana 46321.  After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
      3. Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms.  The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.  For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules.  Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
      4. Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
      5. Time Limits.  If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
      6. Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms.  The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.
      7. Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.  Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court.  In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
      8. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. 
      9. Confidentiality.  All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential.  The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law.  This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
      10. Severability.  If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
      11. Right to Waive.  Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted.  Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
      12. Survival of Agreement.  This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Company. 
      13. Small Claims Court.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or the Company may bring an individual action in small claims court.
      14. Emergency Equitable Relief.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.  A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
      15.

You deliberately spawned an enderdragon before. Care to shed some light on that?

Actually, I was the person who banned you. But point is, we've found that this isn't the first incident. Care to confess on your other incident?

Some service's for the Minecraft server such as Plotme are disabled until farther notice. As for VOIP Servers the mumble is currently inaccessible until father notice. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Last night the VM for Chaotic United was corrupted, as you all probably know from how many times I've had to pull the server down last night. However we lost everything for Teamspeak and since I have to set it up once again I have decided to go for Mumble due to it being open source. 

The MC Server is down because of a external issue with the environment around the machine, it is not known when the server will be back up. I have to mess around with Fan Controls just to make it quieter. 

I'll post in the shoutbox when the MC Server is back online. 

Poll has been closed because Teamspeak uses less resources and would be better.

Hello all,

All the high staff of Chaotic United has decided to add a VOIP server, however I am somewhat against a Teamspeak server due to lack of knowledge on setting it up. Would you all be willing to use a mumble server? Please vote in the poll.

Thanks,
AwakenedRage

We are pleased to confirm the recent DDOS attack has been fully mitigated.

Security on the firewall has been uped to maximum security

Whoever was responsible was repeatedly crashing the Minecraft Server in hope of data corruption I am assuming.

This would be triggered whenever the player tried joining, it would confuse the server because he was not showing any IP address to the server

Keep the malicious occurances coming, the more you try to harm us the stronger Chaotic United becomes.

Hi there,

There is a DDOS effecting RTG's Network  currently, our team is already working to mitigate the attack, service will be restored within the next 20 minutes. approx.

We apologies for the inconvenience caused.

I know other Servers aren't allowed to be talked about, but this is a topic that will affect this community.  This is the only way I can contact the staff.

For the past couple weeks we have been receiving packets, last week we received more packets from a different source after our staff started communicating with ND Staff, I blacklisted the IP and didnt expect anything more, that was until  After having a personal conversation this weekend with staff members of ND. My firewall was detecting traffic against a blacklisted IP through Skype. Upon farther investigation we have matched the IP's of those ND members with the IP's that  have been DDoSing us. This has been our course of action:

Forum Moderators check this IP below and you will clearly see that it leads to a Staff Member of ND

IP Address:149.76.228.179

We have compiled a report of information of where exactly this IP originates but will not post it until provoked farther. This didn't go well for the last person who we did this to. This is 100% legal

Removal of this post will result in us posting more proof.

We've already been on good terms with Atomic/Nuke and have already notified him of this incident. We do not want to wreck this community farther, but we will do anything to make this end.

Must have been hell you've went through.

Lol, thats an understatement.

Mind PMing your Skype or something? I run the server currently, upgrading it soon to.

HP Proliant DL585 G5

AMD Opteron™ 8393 SE Quad-Core Processor

NOTE: Support for 2 or 4 processors

Memory: 128GB (256GB Max)

Just want to ask a couple questions. You probably know what its about.

Maverick, the person who caused this mess is an extremely dangerous individual. He threatened to leak my personal information such as Address, IP Address, Social Networking Accounts etc.

As PurpleFreeze said,

Their decision to use a DDoS attack is a good sign. We've repeatedly received various threats from these individuals about breaking into the servers in some manner or another, at some certain time, for them to do some certain damage. Each time, these threats have proven to be completely false. Reverting to a DDoS attack is comparatively far less harmful and extremely unsophisticated, so this can be taken as a sign that they're ragequitting the "subvert our actual security" plan.

From the thing Maverick has tried to do to me I would say he tried to get onto our database server, to start getting the IP's of the players and slowly dox all their information. But because of him doing this once before, I activated SSL on the DBServer which I agree was excellent timing to do so.

We then decided that he would have to be doxed in order for any of this to stop. The difference from us doing it is that we used it from information that he left behind logging on to our servers, this made it 100% legal as long as we didn't distribute information to the public. I have put the minimum amount of information to show what had to be done. We eventually were able to establish an address.

Well I do have a particular development, Authorities have gotten involved in the case. Its currently still being investigated. But according to one of his former partners (Who betrayed him). He is locked up tight, either way I supplied enough evidence to prove that he is the culprit. Even if he isn't in jail, he will be within the next 2 weeks.

 

So, Maverick was swatting people and all of a sudden he was freaking out, and then the cops busted down his bedroom door and yelled "GET ON THE F**king GROUND" I was able to find his REAL trial. I will give the info later, but this is his REAL dox right here:

Link Removed

17 other servers were DDoSed at the same exact time that this occured

Only reason  I was dragged into this mess is because of me being part of the community and my involvement with the community.  None of our Databases were compromised and Maverick never saw your information. I made sure of that.

I will never use logs or databases to get your personal information, I only do it if you threaten to do it to me, my family and my friends.

No more downtime for a while I apologize for the server going down randomly this past week. DDoS attacks werent the only cause, our house is being renovated as well and the connection would cause players to get kicked all of a sudden. However they were able to reconnect shortly after.

Somewhat, since my PC is back up and running.

I'm posting this on behalf of PurpleFreeze, Demoria's former lead developer of DCE (Demoria Custom Engine)

Hey everybody this is PurpleFreeze (AKA Alex H) Demoria and Chaotic United are safe for the meantime. 2 weeks ago last Sunday, there were a couple staff members and player's on when suddenly connection for the server just dropped. That was because the server's ethernet was overloaded and made Superdoctor 5 (Our hardware analysis program) disable ethernet as we had set it to that option to prevent the ethernet adapter from shorting out from receiving too much data.

You might be asking, how did someone figure out a server that barely anybody from the public would know about? Let alone the port number's that Demoria uses.

It is very easy to find out what ports are open on somones network with a quick scan and a program that can send a large amount of packets to take it down. Originally, we ran Demoria with no firewall because it was easier to run. But now we see that people want to put an end to our ambitions. So Michael spent 3 hours configuring a firewall that separate's all ethernet connections to a certain speed and filter's packet's. The firewall has worked perfectly since then.

Their decision to use a DDoS attack is a good sign. We've repeatedly received various threats from these individuals about breaking into the servers in some manner or another, at some certain time, for them to do some certain damage. Each time, these threats have proven to be completely false. Reverting to a DDoS attack is comparatively far less harmful and extremely unsophisticated, so this can be taken as a sign that they're ragequitting the "subvert our actual security" plan.

Michael and I have deliberately avoided working with the server to put our next plan into action

The impression that this guy is trying to make is that he can just waltz into anyone's account whenever he wants and delete everything. This is not the case: the users affected all had weak enough passwords that he could crack them after about 60 guesses. Additionally, we have account recovery features that we have used to restore the items and return them to their rightful owners.

Now you may be thinking that 60 guesses is a lot. Most of these things are not done by hand, but rather through a simple program or script to try passwords from a pre-defined list and record the successful ones. This is where we must admit a small mistake on our part: the industry-standard way to protect against this is to put a rate limit on how quickly a given computer may attempt logging in. When we designed our accounts database, we were only focused on the (extremely small) alpha test, and features like that didn't get implemented yet.

We finally implemented rate-limiting by returning fake results when a dictionary attack is detected, which interestingly enough caused our attacker to come storming into our IRC and immediately demand to speak to a developer 

I'm really not entirely sure where his sense of self-entitlement comes from, but I suspect he was frustrated by the numerous fake entries he ended up with thwarting his plans.

To better understand his attack, we allowed him to continue under careful control and monitoring - a technique known in the industry as "honeypotting." A honeypot is essentially an isolated sandbox that you can put naughty kids like this into to keep them away from "real" information and better understand their behavior.

That is why exactly we "intentionally made the database's  go into DIRM mode (Dictionary Intrustion Recovery Measures) 

This stop's all information from being written but instead it was marked as read-only

Nothing of value was lost, but it was showed to him that he is not welcome on our server's and he was trolled and that he is wasting his time.

Clues Left:

• The first character he intruded was named Hocesta venatus which translates into This is a Game.
• He was moved to an non-existant zone in the game called Ageiterum, which means Try Again?
• Items were unable to be used and he would constantly be moved to an area that he was at before, as if he was lagging and hurting our servers. LOL No

On that last point: As he's already been shut out of the system, and working from a list of compromised accounts from Monday.

Finally I ran a security audit on all of our systems. This involves double-checking the logs, configuration, and behavior of each node to ensure that nothing has been comporomised and nothing has been accidentally misconfigured. I'm pleased to report that there is still no evidence that our database is (or ever was) accessible to anyone else (and if it was, why go through all this trouble? Just rename all the Characters  to something offensive).

Thanks for reading and bearing through with us as we worked this out,

Sincerely,

PurpleFreeze

Maintenance is now over, thank you for your patience.

Close Please

Below is the specifications of the machine's used, I currently allocate 4 to 5 GB to Chaotic United and the rest to Demoria.

Whenever the server is operating with both the CPU goes to 85% average. It only goes to 100 when the Minecraft server is starting up.

I want Chaotic United to at least have funds enough for a years worth of 4GB hosting before moving to another host.  Pretty much any host will beat my server regarding processor speed. However, memory is another story. The only reason why I lean towards a years worth of hosting is because you have alot of time before you to pay it again and can get alot of donations in that time.

Hello, Everybody

I'm AwakenedRage, Chaotic United's Server Technician.

The Minecraft server has been successfully transfered to a new machine and now has a playercap of 200 players. Hourly Backup's are not properly setup as of right now and Survival Games are having issues. But neverless the server is up for testing!

At 11:30AM Chaotic United's server will be going down for updates, and reconfiguration.
During this time us Server Technicians will be manually be inputting all the information for plotme into a database for easier accessiablity.This mean's all passwords for login security will be reset and you will have to register once again.

The following plugins will be transitioning to databases
- Plot Me
- Coreprotect
- MCMMO
- Residents
- Prism
- Votifier
- Login Secuirty (Not recoverable)
- Grief PreventioN Data
- Hawkeye

The amount of time is not clear as of right now, but the shoutbox will have any future updates regarding the maintenance.

Lastly, If  you notice that any of your data for MCMMO, or Plot me please contact a staff member here on the forums for assitance and a technician will change it in the database.


Sincerely,
AwakenedRage

Server Technician

So, for a temporary amount of time, the fun stops?

No, I offered to host it as needed. I physically won't allow me to stop hosting it until I am absolutely positive that your new host is just as my server and enough funds for a year worth of hosting.

I also have another server incase my game needs the memory Chaotic United is using.

I promise,the fun won't end!

I will also be uploading a video tomorrow of the server's spec's and you will be able to see it physically.

I can totally understand why you don't trust me at first due to your previous incident. 

Honestly, I'm not interested in change's and don't want high authority on what happens on the server. Its your game server, all I would do is just host it. To those who don't know, I'm a developer and a technician. I'm already working on a project, I won't be on the server that often. I want to clarify my whole reason that I offered to host Chaotic United was so then that the project could possibly get some attention when testing begin's (Which will be soon). As to you not being comfortable someone else having access to the server files. Nobody else will see your stuff, nor will touch it but me and my assistant technician (He is certified in the technician field, and has known Aly the same amount of time as me). I am very tech savy and I am going for the same certification. Linux has a feature where stuff can be divided to different workspaces, and that will make it very easy for you to have console access without having to go through other things.  You might be asking "Why do I say this?" The project's game server is hosted on the same machine, however, the operating system is Linux making the ram usage very minimal.Two servers can very well be hosted on a Linux machine with 8GB of ram and no lag will occur on the Linux server. Our gameserver only uses 1.1GB of ram by average for all its services and will increase every 1000 players. We don't even have that many testers and  If it ever becomes to the point that both server's cannot run on the same machine, I have another server with 4GB of ram that can accomodate for it.

The main reason why I would urge you to consider this offer is because of the fact that my network will take alot to DDoS compared to what hardware you use will take very little to knock offline.  When you intend for this server to be popular you are going to need a reliable server that won't be easy to crash, and to my knowledge this server's information is public. Anybody could DDoS you anytime and you will be a sitting duck when that happens.

I would only host it until you guys get enough donations to buy hosting.
