Well I created this topic to talk about the sa-mp, and talk about the future that awaits him.
San Andreas Multiplayer(SA-MP or also known as SA: MP) is a module for the multiplayer video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It is based on the programming language C + + for server scripts.
HistoryThe project began with the codification of a SCM module for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, which was canceled after months of your project (you can still find the BETA module on the network). After leaving San Andreas, the scripters went to work, based on the SCM code of Vice City. The first official test was a disaster and decided to change the code to a PAWN script. Finally, in late 2005, the mod was released, version 0.1b.
This version had some bugs and limitations, in addition to many cheaters who bother servers. Some bugs were in the climate, and how to shoot. They had snipers and grenades blocking game. Thus, about 2 or 3 months after version 0.2 was released, very well received by players. [Citation needed]
In mid 2007, there were complaints that the war Rhino tanks produced errors in the game. In addition the systems of the cheaters had been improved, so the code was amended and released the version 0.2.2. There are currently over 12,000 servers around the world, some private individuals and other internet forums.
Today the SA-MP Team has abandoned the project and who is responsible for maintaining the master server is "littlewhitey" GTA-HOST. The future of this project is uncertain and questioning its output from version 0.3. This version has already gone, now is the version (V0.2X u1). Although DDoS program that has created this samp destroyed there are still servers that are reluctant to lose its fun and learning networks to try to mitigate DDoS attacks.
Attacks on serversIn total there have been six major attacks to the servers of SA-MP, in chronological order:
The first was developed by a hacker known as CurliBoy, which was put on and take off at a fast speed players.
OopsCrasher made by OopsIDied allowed to close any server in seconds.
Motorhead's Stupid Thing, developed by Motorhead, filling the slots of the server not allowing more players to connect.
The next attack on the server SA-MP, was made by a hacker known as nuckfuts, he managed to forge servers and saturate the master server SA-MP.
The last was caused by the cracker Argentino Netzeek and are detailed below.
NetzeekThe attack is stronger than SA-MP is caused by a cracker known as Netzeek Argentino. This is a DDoS attack caused by a large botnet, whose density is greater in Latin America. The attack affects the master, officers and servants. Currently as temporary solution, they are banned ip ranges from Argentina and some countries nearby ISP.
Netzeek himself a god and the network began its first attacks on servers sa: mp server to eliminate any that dare to compete with yours. Time then began to attack the master server and servers official SA-MP DDoS attack using a large-scale measurements of the second team of over 20 Mbps samp the condition for stopping the attack was to include server Netzeek (in Prysmax time) on the official list of servers.
SA-MP after time change its policies on official servers, seeking to belong to the world's top 50 servers. Because these policies Prysmax removed from the list. Retaliation was a video showing how netzeek officers fired multiple servers and the return of the attacks on the master servers. In response to that video, the dev team made public the samp Aiz data, current leader of the community Prysmax, viculandolo as an accomplice. As a result, its servers prysmax hill and fired samp netzeek the rest of the staff server. The attacks became more intense and the development team at SA-MP was forced to block all traffic to Latin America. Netzeek opened its own separate server, called Fenix Zone and continues through today, with attacks on multiple servers and master servers and web pages sa-mp world.
Netzeek also opened a blog, where samples of your published periodically hechorias and tools that allow anyone to attack servers SA: MP. With each publication Kyeman insult and disparage a game by making unsafe. Day May 30, 2009 netzeek delete all entries in your blog and aunció was going to stop writing in it. Yet by his own statements, it is uncertain whether or not to follow their attacks.
PresentToday we can join the official SA-MP from the majority of countries. The master server and load the list of servers, with which we can connect. Has regained contact with "littlewhitey" and many fans have learned and come back to play. Is expected to recover, which is very likely and the release of version 0.3 will be available soon. Even still blocked the address ranges of Argentina, and some internet providers from countries nearby.
NOTEI imagine that some did not know that Latin America is banned, we can not see the official website of the sa-mp and not the server list, we can only play by adding servers to favorites.
And sorry if a repetition of the same topic.
