I don't remember anything about last EC, but for example I just saw someone posting news about SLACCASEK. He said that it's some cheat made by me, and he wrote link to my msn address and website etc..
... and I haven't created such cheat. So it's very possible that someone is faking me.
edit: if you think that telling how to join slac pub server without slac is attacking, ok then.
DDOS doesn't need to establish connections. Imagine the Internet provider routers receiving thousands of packages that have destination your IP address. They don't know it's an attack so they route the packages to your server. Even though your machine rejects them at some point, the bandwidth is still wasted.
well to ddos the complete connection and not only one client is a bit problematic nowadays :P
at least with proper loadbalancing 0o
normally the swithc should at least be able to cache those noumerous connections when flooding a port :x
edit: anyway i wonder - if it really were him ddos'ing, where'd he get all the bots from, his customers? or is he that pathetic to spend a few hundered bucks on bots for the day? :p
This is why DDOSes are the most hated network attacks :). You can't protect yourself without the help of the Internet provider. Usually they are responsive for business/enterprise subscriptions where a DDOS means a lot of money lost.
Get someone program some server addon that blocks the serverinfo requests completely. This would still make playing on the server possible if you know the IP, but Splatterladder can't get the player infos on their site which means that nobody knows which server you're on. After 4 days Splatterladder then removes the server, I think.
I doubt that's possible, if the service is accessible through the internet, it can be DoSed. If there was a firewall in the way it would just be the firewall that gets flooded with requests and crashes.
ahm ddos can be blocked. you can set maximum connection per ip and overall.
blocking ping and unnecessary services etc.
otherwise nearly every big website would be down...
It still takes clock time in the router (or firewall) to handle the requests to see which one is to be let through and which is not. In DDoS attacks it is most often the router that gives in and not the server itself.
when I have said so?
and i wonder who would attack the slac pubserver

oh it must be my silly brother ddossing it.

both cb and esl admins did that for the community and some tard messed it up
but sadly the tard wants us to stop hosting cups/important matches
