DDOS Information with Recent Downtimes

[Knuk 2]

4. A DDoS of this proportion, durability, and the time it has lasted, takes way more than 24,000$ and is hard to maintain. There fore these guys are good at what they do.

Welp. That's alot of money.

Day 5...Hope, slowly fading. Tempers have become short. Red text haunts my limited dreams...the word OFFLINE...

Things I have found:

4. A DDoS of this proportion, durability, and the time it has lasted, takes way more than 24,000$ and is hard to maintain. There fore these guys are good at what they do.

5. No person, for pure enjoyment would sit on his computer and maintain te DDoS for hours upon hours or spend so much money purely "enjoyment or revenge"

4. It would not cost you anymoney to keep the DDoS'ing up. Infact, the only thing that does costs money is buying defense against this.

Sorry,

But infact: If I would like to do such a thing I would not need more then one single email. To be honest, I would only need my own email. The things that can be used for this are often called Bullets or BulletShells, they are simple injections which some people can shoot into your computer, to say it the easy way.

What that means is, even you can have such a program on your computer now, will you notice something of it ? No.

What are the good points for the DDoS'ers, simple. They don't need a budget to do this.

These "BulletShells / Bullets " can be found easily on google and they are free, most of the time.

So let's put it in an other vision, it could be your own computer that is helping the DDoS'ers.

So run a virusscan, if you wouldn't mind.

^ Explanation why it does not cost any, or nearly none, money.

5. ( About the money part and the hours spend refere to the above. )

Indeed, people do not do it for their own enjoyement.

They get payed to do so.

They gain us.

People will get angry or annoyed after some time because they can't play.

They will all move to an other server, probably together.

Wether the DDoS'ers have been hired or are just another servers doing.

Is unknown.

Is probably the sole reason for which one would DDoS us.

Looks like I'm actually going to have a life on my Friday night. Yay.

But.. You know you don't want one... You would much be rather on an expedition in Asulon. Wouldn't you?

What in the nether is a life? Is it like "outside".

This can be disproven by many ways:

1. Connection charges

2. The strength of the system you are running (YOU NEED NEW SYSEMS AND HARDWARE FOR MORE STRENGTH)

3. Staff members maintaining it (No one wants to sit in front of the computer all day maintaining a dumb ddos for free)

With these facts, please do more research before attempting to disprove one's point.

Except most DDOS are controlled by using other peoples computers, just so you don't have to sit and watch it yourself.

[Vrahn 5]

No one has to maintain a DDOS attack... the attacking machines are just ordinary people who had their computers compromised by a virus of sorts perhaps quite a long time ago, they are paying for their connections, they are maintaining their hardware, etc. Increasing the strength just requires you to get more people to download your virus, it's quite a free process.

And no one would need to sit there and watch it, it's pretty hands off hehe.

[Gorakoa 0]

Exactly like Vrahn said. Ddos attacks are caused my people who were infected by more than likely phishing emails. Once the computers became infected with the virus it was under the control of the ddos attacker. The chances of this attack being directly targeted at the server and not some random target is also pretty low. I have doubt that someone with a grudge towards the server is doing it. Of course I could also be wrong about that.

[Krag'Thak 7]

Is there any new news?

[Megacomet 25]

Is there any new news?

Yes, and it is that the server is up, if you do not already know.
