AleForge Security Update: Defending Your Servers

Greetings, fellow adventurers! Here at AleForge, we’re not just crafting exceptional game server hosting; we’re also forging an impenetrable shield to protect your digital realms. We understand firsthand the frustrations that can arise from traditional hosting – the resource overloads, the unexpected disruptions, the lurking threats in the digital shadows. That’s precisely why transparency and robust security are not just buzzwords here; they’re the very bedrock of our service.

We’re proud to deploy cutting-edge solutions that stand guard over your game worlds. For instance, we harness the mighty power of our Minecart Protection Protocol (MPP) for robust DDoS protection and Argo Smart Routing to ensure optimal latency. These aren’t fancy add-ons; they’re integrated as standard for every AleForge customer, safeguarding all incoming connections. Think of it as a mighty dwarven gate, standing firm against any besieging forces!

But our defenses extend far beyond the gate! We implement a comprehensive array of robust security measures directly on our physical servers, creating a multi-layered defense system that would make any master smith proud:

• Continuous Patching: We diligently ensure that our operating systems are fully updated, security patches are applied, and even “rebootless” core updates are seamlessly integrated. We’re always on the lookout for zero-day exploits, patching them faster than a dwarf can swing a pickaxe!
• 24/7/365 Vigilance: Our dedicated guard rotation never sleeps! We provide continuous service monitoring, RAID & hardware monitoring to detect any physical anomalies, and unwavering network & DDoS monitoring across all our systems.
• Intrusion Prevention & AI Defenses: Our formidable firewalls are backed by intelligent AI detection systems. These clever contraptions automatically identify and block network, application, and protocol layer attacks, while also offering robust CMS brute force protection for real-time defense against SQL injections and other sneaky vulnerabilities.
• Intelligent Antivirus & Auto-Clean: Much like a keen-eyed scout, our intelligent antivirus software relentlessly detects and blocks viruses, malware, spyware, malicious redirects, and symlinks in real-time. And if a digital pest manages to slip through, our auto-clean technology swiftly repairs or deletes infected files.
• PCI Compliant Infrastructure: We adhere to the strictest PCI compliance requirements, ensuring that our hosting infrastructure maintains the highest standards of data security. This includes properly configured firewalls and routers, robust defenses for PCI information in storage, strong encryption for data transmission, and strict physical access controls. Your precious data is as safe as a dragon’s hoard!

The Fun Data: Our Daily Battles Against Digital Foes!

Now, for a bit of a tale from the front lines! In the past month alone, our tireless defenses have successfully blocked a staggering 11.5 million unique attacks! It’s quite interesting to note that the DDoS attacks you might typically hear about weren’t even in our top five threats. We’re always on guard, keeping those digital goblins, trolls, and kraken at bay!

Here’s a peek into the types of skirmishes our systems win on your behalf:

Attack Type	Volume	Percent of Attacks
SSH Bruteforce	2.36M	20.5%
HTTP Scanners	1.78M	15.5%
HTTP Exploit	1.38M	12.0%
HTTP Bruteforce	1.38M	12.0%
HTTP Crawl	995k	8.6%
Exploitation Attempt	990k	8.6%
DDoS	837k	7.3%
TCP Scan	705k	6.1%

Telnet Bruteforce	416k	3.6%
Web Form Spam	121k	1.1%
POP3/IMAP Brute Force	99k	0.9%
