Guess our DDOS moron is at it again.

Same thing, seems to be doing it about the same time every day for about an hour.

The Devs should have made it stop a long time ago. I want to know why, exactly, they can't stop it to a point where it doesn't come back.

Blizzard can't "stop" DDoS attacks. Microsoft can't. Morgan Chase Bank can't. The US freaking Government can't.

Why exactly do you expect that Cryptic can??

chaelk · February 2016

what Cryptic needs to do , is a BIG anouncement on the NW forums, stating that ALL exploits will now be stomped on really hard and accts banned for using them.

That's Interesting, what makes you think that excaly?, not arugeing with you, just really curious, as I'm pretty sure that this person is breaking the law in some way right?, or am I completely wrong?

As for not being able to stop it?, How excaly, Not skilled with that level of hacking or de-hacking, in this case, but can't they not server the persons connection or use some sort of, Firewall or so?.

Interested in learning about this, so forgive the stupid qeastions, if they are..

The fact that, in the past, they have all been hit with them, and could not stop it.

I don't have the details for your other questions, though.

The twit evidently resides somewhere in northern Europe, so it's not just a matter of saddling up the nearest FBI office and busting down the door to his mom's basement.

And any firewall secure enough to stop a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, which is basically just overloading the server with data requests, would lock us all out too.

Ahh I see, damm

Well, surely they will track him or her down at some point maybe, but thanks

also ddos attacks, by their definition, come from thousands of zombie machines, not a single ip address

The first D in DDoS is Distributed. Hundreds to thousands of computers, spread across the globe, pitch a few kbps at Cryptic which adds up fast. Banning individual sources won't have a noticeable effect. Ban entire regions and you'll likely take out legit traffic.

Firewalls do exactly jack and squat for this. The attackers just have to hit the firewall with enough data to make sure no one else's can get through.

Hope someday, somebody can track him ... and them, EXPLODE HIS HEAD WITH A SHOTGUN!!! (os at least jail him -3-)

Closing. We don't need multiple threads on this every time it happens. Just let the old one die, people.
