How Google Cloud Armor Protects EA Sports Game Servers

Assist in defending your websites and apps against online threats and denial of service attacks.

Google Cloud Armor Advantages

Integrated DDoS protection

Google’s experience safeguarding important web properties like YouTube, Gmail, and Google Search is beneficial to Cloud Armor. It offers integrated defenses against DDoS assaults at the L3 and L4 levels.

Reduce the OWASP Top 10 hazards

Pre-established rules offered by Cloud Armor aid in the defense against assaults like SQL injection (SQLi) and cross-site scripting (XSS).

Protection fit for an enterprise

You may get curated rule sets, DDoS and WAF services, and other services for a fixed monthly fee with the Cloud Armor Enterprise tier.

Important characteristics

Adaptive defense

Use a machine learning system that has been locally trained on your apps to automatically identify and assist in mitigating big volume Layer 7 DDoS attacks.

Sophisticated DDoS defense for networks

Using external network load balancers, protocol forwarding, and virtual machines (VMs) with public IP addresses, workloads can be protected against volumetric network and protocol DDoS attacks with always-on attack monitoring and mitigation.

Pre-set WAF regulations

OWASP Top 10 protection and mitigation against common web-application vulnerabilities are provided by out-of-the-box rules based on industry standards.

Bot oversight

Offers your apps automated bot protection and aids in preventing fraud at the source and on the edge by natively integrating with reCAPTCHA Enterprise.

Limiting rates

Rate-based restrictions assist you in safeguarding your applications from a high volume of requests that overburden your instances and prevent authorized users from accessing them.

Cloud Armor pricing

GCP Cloud Armor

As a world leader in digital interactive entertainment, Electronic Arts (EA) is renowned for its cutting-edge games, cutting-edge services, and potent technology. To safeguard its game servers and improve DDoS resistance, EA Sports FC, a major gaming brand, chose Google Cloud Armor to host its gaming infrastructure.

Gaming companies might suffer greatly from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. They may interfere with player access to games, disrupt gameplay, or even harm game servers. This may result in decreased sales, unhappy clients, and damage to the business’s reputation.

The gaming industry was a primary target of the massive growth in volume and frequency of DDoS assaults over the past year. As per the Gcore Radar report for the second half of 2023, 46% of the attacks target the gaming industry, making it the most affected sector.

Armor Cloud hosting

Protecting against DDoS using Google Cloud Armor

At the periphery of Google’s Cross-Cloud Network is a web-application firewall and DDoS mitigation service called Cloud Armor. Applications and services that are installed on Google Cloud, on-site, or with another infrastructure provider are safeguarded by Cloud Armor.

With a focus on the gaming sector, Cloud Armor has been able to meet the specific requirements of L4 workloads like UDP by adding new products to its portfolio in the last year. Both GKE and GCE workloads are supported by the underlying networking infrastructure, which can be either virtual machines (VMs) with public IP addresses or an External Passthrough Load Balancer.

EA Sports uses our new custom network edge security rules in conjunction with enhanced network DDoS protection as a subscriber of Cloud Armor Enterprise. In order to fight against common volumetric network and protocol DDoS attacks, such as SYN flood, UDP flood, DNS reflection, and NTP amplification attacks, advanced network DDoS defense offers always-on attack detection and just-in-time mitigation.

Customers can design a set of security rules to permit or prohibit traffic at the network’s edge based on user-specified filters, including IP addresses, ASNs, ports, regions, and protocols, using Cloud Armor custom network edge security policies. Customers can match each security policy to the particular service they want to safeguard by attaching it to one or more backend services or virtual machines (VMs).

Additionally, deep packet inspection is carried out by Google Cloud Armor on incoming traffic to stop policy-violating activity. Clients can set up a security policy rule that, when combined with other filters, examines each incoming packet based on a user-specified TCP/UDP byte offset location filter.

Every incoming packet is assessed and subject to Cloud Armor security regulations at Google Cloud’s network edge, much upstream of client equipment. Our network’s size and reach enable Google Cloud to securely absorb and disperse massive attacks with the least amount of disruption to client infrastructure.

Together with additional clients and the EA Product Infrastructure and Engineering division, these new bespoke network edge security policies were created. The Cloud Armor team tested and refined the proposed service during the development period. The end product is a strong tool that enables EA Sports FC to enhance their DDoS protection and design security policies that are specific to their requirements.

Study up on Cloud Armor

A useful tool for defending game servers against DDoS attacks is Cloud Armor. It can ensure that gamers can keep having fun with their games while lessening the impact of attacks.

Setting up a Factorio server on Ubuntu 22.04!

This blog documents me setting up a Factorio server on an Ubuntu 22.04 server.

Step 1 - Downloading the Factorio binary

The latest binary can be accessed from this (https://www.factorio.com/get-download/stable/headless/linux64) link. Download it on your Linux server however you like. For me, I like to download it on my local machine and use WinSCP to transfer it over to my server.

Once the Factorio binary tarball is in your server, extract it using: tar xf factorio_*

This will create a new directory "factorio". This directory has all the data for your Factorio gameserver! I HIGHLY recommend taking a look at the gameserver settings under ~/factorio/data/server-settings.example.json. If you'd like to change anything, copy the file under "server-settings.json" using cp server-settings.example.json server-settings.json.

If you want your gameserver to show up in the public game listing. You can see the options for that in this file.

Step 2 - Save files!

You need somewhere to put your world saves. Let's make a directory for that. This directory needs to be in the Factorio directory that was created when your unballed the binary tarball, and be called "saves". So just make a "saves" directory in the factorio directory.

In the saves directory, you can either upload your own savefile, or create one using: ~/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --create /factorio/saves/initial.zip

Step 3 - Running your gameserver.

Running the Factorio server is done with the binary in ~/factorio/bin/x64/. You can put this in a SystemD service, or PM2 if you want. Just make sure to include the following parameters: (adjust this command to your system, like you should with any other directories I mention in this blog)

~/factorio/bin/x64/factorio --server-settings ~/factorio/data/server-settings.json --start-server-load-latest --console-log ~/factorio/logs.log

Additionally - Admin List

If you'd like to add admins to your server (which is highly recommended). Create another json file under ~/factorio called "server-adminlist.json". And put your admins Factorio name in there in an array.

Bonus - Mods

Mods are a quite popular in Factorio. And you can add some to your server!

In your gameserver files, you can see a "mods" directory under ~/factorio. Simply add any mod files there, and they'll load with your server!

is anybody else on avocado islands having trouble getting into the game? Mine just loads for an eternity and then tells me it lost contact with the gameserver

American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server Setup

Welcome to our American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server Setup guide. This guide will show you to set up an ATS Dedicated Server in Windows. We know that there are people who have a hard time finishing the American Truck Simulator game. If you are one of those who find it difficult to finish the game, let's take you to our American Truck Simulator guide. #AmericanTruckSimulator

American Truck Simulator Dedicated Server Setup

This guide will show you to set up an ATS Dedicated Server in Windows. Get SteamCMD Download SteamCMD and extract it wherever you want preferably in a folder. Open it and wait! Install the Server Create a .bat file where SteamCMD is located and enter following: steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:GameServer" +login anonymous +app_update 2239530 +quit pause And run it. Wait until its finished. Export Server Package Go to "C:Users%username%DocumentsAmerican Truck Simulator" and open up the config.cfg and edit following: uset g_developer "0" to uset g_developer "1" uset g_console "0" to uset g_console "1" Save file! Now run ATS and hit the console key "~" and enter following: export_server_packages or export_server_packages destination file Wait until its finished! 2 new files has been created in ETS 2 documents folder: server_packages.dat - contains internal map data server_packages.sii - contains map details, dlc and mods configuration Generate & Configure the Server Config Go to the ATS Server straight through to "amtrucks_server.exe" and start it once and close it again. In your ATS documents folder following file should be created: server_config.sii - contains session description and configuration, connections ports info, logon token and list of moderators - ports and logon token must be different for each session instance running at the same time - default configuration is generated automatically Open it up and start editing as you wishes. Save file! Server Logon Token - Steam Gameserver Token By default whenever a dedicated server is launched it is using an anonymous account. For such an account non-persistent server id is generated (used for direct search). To avoid this you can acquire a logon token on https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers (game ownership is required). Enter the token in following value in "server_config.sii": server_logon_token: "TOKEN HERE" Save file! Adding Moderators Open up "server_config.sii" and do following: moderator_list: 1 moderator_list: 76561198001220177 (steamID64) like: moderator_list: 1 moderator_list: 76561198001220177 76561198001245683 etc Save file! Hint: Find your SteamID64 here: https://www.steamidfinder.com/ Port Forwarding & Firewall Whitelist Dedicated server does not handle NAT punching and public IP or port forwarding is required to show server in session browser. However, session direct search works even for server that is behind NAT and it is possible to connect to such server. Search id is listed when starting dedicated server or in convoy info screen for hosted sessions. You need to open following ports: TCP port 27015-27016 UDP port 27015-27016 If you run it on a Root or VPS you must add it to your Firewall. Hint for Root or VPS users You do not have the ATS folder in your documents at your Root or VPS. If you installed the Server, just start it once to generate the ATS documents folder. And yeah its clear i mean, that you need to copy the server packages to the Root or VPS ATS documents folder. Read the full article
