Ddos News

[Danny 2232]

In response to "who would do this to LotC" - could be rival servers, banned players, or anyone we've annoyed - we probably won't know. All we know is they've for quite the powerful set up.

Anonymous is made up by a bunch of teens that think they are hackers because they can make a ddos attack.

Even though a ddos is one if the most easy things to

Do on the internet. It when he says over 200,000 independent ip addresses what he means is that is how many slave ips are involved. Usually ddos only have one to three masters with all the rest being slave ips usually shackled when you click on certain things or download certain stuff off the Internet. Anyone can be a slave ip if their not careful and track their Internet usage. Ddos is usually effective because you can't find out who the masters are usually. So you end up banning and shutting out many of the innocent slave ips to deal with it. Japan and Ukraine are not the cause of this itself. It is just whoever this master(s) is have spent a lot more time than usual gathering slave ips

Meh, Anon is a lot more impressive than just DDoS, and I doubt it's them anyway.

Why did you blacklist Japan and Ukraine, I'm sure there were some legit players

Glad we finally are able to combat these ddos attacks :D Thanks Vaq

I made this during the DDoS attack, was gonna put it up on the Official LotC Meme thread, but that wouldn't be appropriate, this has too much seriousness in it.

Wow! Impressive skills Vaq! Though I agree, we have over achieved on our 10,000 visitors!

So I guess this is the time where we laugh at the fact that a third of a million computers can't get together and take down one Minecraft server's website.

[EmeraldStag 165]

Mine wasn't supposed to be funny. It was serious as it can actually get.

[Atholos 0]

This server definitely couldn't go on without you Vaq! Keep up the good work!

[gingernut97 150]

Why would anyone want to DDoS this website? Unless they're banned members who donated but got banned or something and want their money back :/ Of all the websites, why a mine craft roleplaying one? This has got to be a personal vendetta.

[Song Druid 1486]

It is generally trolls and people banned who want to see LotC shut down. Basically anybody in Celestial Dreams is a suspect.

It is generally trolls and people banned who want to see LotC shut down. Basically anybody in Celestial Dreams is a suspect.

Except they have a no tolerance policy regarding bad mouthing other servers.

It seems that team speak is back up. But vaq has blocked Australians from getting on...
