Need help with my server log

I just checked my server logs and noticed some odd things in it

and also, my server had a crash after I thought I got this

2022-05-21 18:23:10.489935|ERROR |Accounting | |failed to register local accounting service: Bad file descriptor

It feels like someone is trying to get into my server. What do you guys think?

Yes. You may close or change the port for ServerQuery.

And this error happens when the server can not access shared memory (/dev/shm).

for some reason the shared memory became unavailable for the system(Bad file descriptor)

I will just block the ports by the firewall, since I don’t really use them, I use TS3 Manager
Also forgot to add that memory error is odd never had that before

From what I figured out they were trying to access remote shell to my server not specifically attacking ts3

Please ensure that /dev/shm is properly mounted

It is haven’t got that error like the whole day :slight_smile:

Google is your friend

Close the Port for ServerQuery for connections from outside the machine or add a whitelist of IPs to your firewall.

Add an GeoIP Whitelist or use something like SpamHouse (think they have a Danger IP List), where Hostnames from Hacked Servers etc are stored.

For example my Ubiquiti Security Gateway has this type of IP Filter :slight_smile:


Because this is a bit offtopic, feel free to contact me if you have any questions :wink:

XD yeah I just blocked the port entirely but that looks like a nicer solution
