woodpecker Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Admin of DDoS service behind 200,000 attacks faces 35yrs in prison! I really hope this is our man, but I guess not. Still good to see how serious this is taken and that people get faced with their actions. 35 years in prison is a serious reaction. 4 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player of 0AD Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Oh, that's why I've not been ddosed during the last days? : ) Edited September 29, 2021 by Player of 0AD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norse_Harold Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 This is great news! So it is possible for justice to be served against ddosers. It is not moral, legal or cool to ask for or conduct ddosing. That said, I doubt that there is only one group conducting DDosS attacks. Even if there was only one group, which was punished, remember the quote, "Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom," by Thomas Jefferson and John Philpot Curran. Basically, don't let your guard down, stay vigilant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player of 0AD Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Somebody who prevents others from playing 0AD has to go for 35 years into prison? Seems appropriate to me ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norse_Harold Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Nice joke, weirdJokes. ;-) For anyone who is confused, 200 000 attacks would include attacks on a lot more systems than just 0AD and the 0AD playerbase. But yes, some of those attacks (.1% ?) likely targeted the 0AD playerbase. Therefore, some of the prison time helps seek justice for attacks on the 0AD playerbase. So yes, it seems appropriate to me, as well. Edited September 29, 2021 by Norse_Harold 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakfastBurrito_007 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 35 years is nothing compared to the time wasted by hosting a game that will then be ddosed XD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norse_Harold Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 How do we know that there is just one person conducting ddos attacks on 0ad players? And, how many ddos services are there? Can you show the steps to reaching these conclusions, please? What are the sources of the information? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we know is the less DDOS services there are the less options the DDOSer(s) ha(s/ve). Personally, I think human-hours wasted should be rolled into the prison time. If it exceeds a reasonable lifetime of the person, well too bad. Edited October 3, 2021 by Dizaka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because of being silent and not reacting to them (whoever they are, I think I play games with them? lol). I think silent ignorance is the best way to deal with this person and just track it on on which player it can. Then once that player info is gathered don't react until alts are found, etc. Anyway, I think 0ad actually heading in right direction with password games, etc, to protect from stupidity like that.
