...who has friends who have been DDoS'd by him as well, and have brought the issue to light on N00bstories.com only to see it brushed under the carpet, I'd like to say, "Fuck you."

Goodbye.

It's impossible for him to DDoS you on my server. That doesn't even make sense.

I'm the bawss.

If you were attacked after pissing him off while you were both playing on my server, that might make more sense. HOWEVER, I do NOT understand what exactly you expect me to do about it. I have told him time and time again to NOT do that shit but when he gets angry, he'll do anything he can to get back at you. He can change IPs and usernames at will, and his IP range is also used by regulars on my server such as Gr8bigguy, Nas680, and oh yeah, ME!

I have asked nicely, I have yelled... he doesn't stop. I don't ever condone this sort of behavior but I am completely helpless to stop it, so don't blame it on me or hold me responsible for something I can't do anything about.

I'm the bawss.

Ive had a long history of problems with khold. But Crimson herself can not control his actions, only he can, word of advice, dont start shit with him, learn to keep your mouth shut.

For those of you who blame crimson for this shit, Your in the wrong, just the same as khold is for attacking you. SO if your problem is getting attacked by khold, take it up with him. he is NOT n00bstories, just becuase he runs in the n00bstories irc, doesnt make him a rep. for n00bstories.

First you attack Crimson, fail, so it's time to move on, right?

When was the last time I played on the n00bstories servers for more then a few days, it's been at least a year if not longer.

I'm sorry that you still have your panties in a wad because I apparently ddos'd you. I'll get right on caring about that after I finsih my BA and if work scehdule permits. Thumbs Up

You're being DDoS'd, why get all bent out of shape (especially if you have DSL/dial-up). Attacks aren't eternal, so just wait for them to be over with unless you have a dynamic IP, in which case you just have to unplug your modem and plug it back in. Voila! New IP.

whoa.

With static Internet you also have to un-plug your modem 45-60 minutes before it gets a new IP-adress. (Either by un-plugging the PC or modem, I forgot which one)

You can also spoof your MAC-adress and with some kind of connections you can just flush your DNS to get a new IP assigned. Google for it or search Wikipedia.

Just a few comments from a security professional:

(1) I highly doubt anyone here has DDoS'd anyone. A simple script kiddie DoS perhaps ... but not distributed.

(2) Dynamic IPs are usually renewed from the DHCP server the same as previous unless you have a MAC spoofer or an ISP that recycles IPs within your netblock.

(3) Static IPs should never take 45-60 minutes to reacquire. Perhaps you're thinking of the time it takes for your line to acquire a lost DSL signal or for your ISP to re-establish sync with your hardware; but the IP has nothing to do with it.

(4) Denial of Service is actually one of the easiest things to do in the entire realm of "hacking" and is so easy that over 90% of the people use it do it because of the fact that the "ease of use" to "effect of use" ratio is so good. Anyone that DoS's someone is a straight up lamer wannabe 'h4xx0r'.

(5) DoS is also one of the easiest things to block depending on your network layout. Most ISPs can detect a port flood or malicious packets via Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) and auto-block the source IP for a period of time. If you're being attacked somewhere other than home -- or more specifically at a place where the burden of security is on your own shoulders -- you can implement IPsec or a software firewall (HIDS) on your server that will prevent most floods. [Reference: Snort is free!]

I can't honestly say what is going on here because I had no part of it. But if someone is DoSing a game server or a gamer becaue of an internet disagreance that is pretty low and sad.

I'll be more than willing to give security suggestions to anyone that continues to have problems with wannabe script kiddie hackers. Very Happy

just out of curiosity, if i created a program that sends packets out as fast as the computer could handle to a specific ip address. how many computers would it take to shutdown...ooo...lets say renegadeforums.com.

it would be a missive coincidence if this site got DDOSed right after an answer, i hope it doesn't happen.

It would depend on the connection of the computers. It'd obviously take more 56k computers to do the same damage as a few high-speed connections. Plus, it depends on what the target can handle. A site on a 10mbps connection will handle less than a 100mbps connection.

whoa.

Not to mention their host would probably be able to stop you before it went anywhere. Not really a good choice of 'example' if you ask me. O.o

The way the server that these forums are hosted on are modified enough to where it'd block most, if not all, of an attack. Other sites, they'd probably be more vulnerable. Good luck at trying to hit a server from gigeserver, though. Wouldn't do a damn thing.

whoa.

He would have to compromise all of those systems first. Which I highly doubt would happen.

"Robo"

(1) DDoS = Distributed Denial of Service (ie. what HL is talking about above). Not going to happen by some n00bie on these forums. Especially solo. ^^
(2) Like I also said above, just because someone can point and click flood a computer doesn't mean that they're a "superhackernerd". Even giving the person the benefit of the doubt that they are running something command line or through a coordinated IRC kind of thing, that's still pretty easy. I hope you were joking about calling him a hacker. Not to mention a real hacker wouldn't waste their time on petty things such as a game server. Hackers are a dying breed; and most of survivors are just script kiddies with hopes of being l33t.
