Me and my 4chan newfags fucking ion cannon attack servers all the time. Good crack it is.

I’ve got two questions.
1. Isn’t ddos’ing kinda like hacking? making it illegal to do.
2. Can you track where the ddos is coming from?
I’ve got two questions.
1. Isn’t ddos’ing kinda like hacking? making it illegal to do.
Another question: Would someone actually CARE about that?
2. Can you track where the ddos is coming from?
Read the doc Gryzor posted, it’s quite nice and explains why you cant track DDoS: It’s coming from a lot of pcs at the same time, and these are “remote controlled”.
So no, basically you cant track it.
The thing we face here is in most cases NOT DDoS, but a simple DoS as it was explained already. Meaning, mostly it’s spamming commands to certain ports to make the server lag and/or crash, or abusing server features etc.
Quickly adding to #1 above, it does not really constitute as “hacking”, no. More like “doing things a lot of people can do, but don’t since they’re sane individuals”. Let’s keep the hacker-label where it belongs, amongst clever people who can do really cool shit with anything technical :)
It’s mostly done by some poor souls injecting “backdoors” into popular files and placing them on torrents/dc/p2p-sites that “common” people use. Making them spew out a bunch of packets is one thing (or, ddosing), most have more nasty “features” — fairly common in this community and ones like this, is stealing steam-accounts for obvious reasons. Generally, creditcards and other type of monetary fraud are the most popular usage.
Rule of thumb is to NOT run anything you absolutely know for certain where and who it’s from. Do not trust “antivirus” or “antitrojan”-utilities, I’ve seen a great deal of people whining about lost steamaccounts and what not after using their “private” torrent-trackers and other lame crap, due to the fact the injected portion of the “trojanhorse” is re-linked with different code every time and code-crypted. Low impact clientèle and no reports since they never get discovered in this “small group” of people is the reason. And it’s really easy to do.
Just a warning.
Stay safe :)
zBlock has nothing to do with a Distributed Denial of Service attack
Uhh yes, new version does block it. Hello, read Cadred maybe sometime?

ViQun, are you trying to be funny or did you just quit reading after that line?
