FiveM is a modification for the popular open-world video game Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) that allows players to create and join custom multiplayer servers. The mod adds a range of features and functionality to the game, including the ability to play on dedicated servers, new game modes and gameplay mechanics, and custom player skins and vehicles. FiveM also allows players to use custom scripts and modifications to alter and enhance the gameplay experience on their servers. The mod is available for free and can be downloaded and installed on PC through the FiveM website.
In this blog, we'll be going over how to protect your FiveM server from DDoS attacks.
What are DDoS Attacks?
A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack is a type of cyber attack that involves overwhelming online service with traffic from multiple sources in order to make it unavailable to users. A DDoS attack can be used to disrupt the operation of a game server or to prevent players from being able to access the game. These attacks can be particularly disruptive because they can prevent players from being able to participate in the game, which can be frustrating and can damage the reputation of the game and the gaming company.
How are DDoS Attacks Launched?
There are a variety of techniques that can be used to launch a DDoS attack, including using a network of compromised computers (called a "botnet") to send traffic to the target or using a small number of high-capacity servers to send a large volume of traffic. DDoS attacks can be difficult to defend against because the traffic can come from many different sources, making it hard to identify and block the source of the attack.
