DDoS Attacks against our servers

[DeletedUser]

Recently (In the last 3 days), We have seen numerous attacks against our web and other servers. I beg the person or persons responsible to stop doing this. You might think it makes you cool, but it is much like buying a sports car for men, and just shows how small your penis really is.

lol, I like your analogy. :D

[DeletedUser]

LoL, he forgot another sentance.

If you wish to continue,
Khuong will fuck you up, every possible way.

[pms]

I feel your pain but, telling these guys how much it bugs you just makes them do it more. Thats the whole point. Ignore em and report the traffic to your ISP or provider.

[DeletedUser]

How about this, you are DoS attacking a project that gives you the ability to play a game for free instead of having to pay $12.95 a month, people who spend their own money and time for their enjoyment and others benefits, you should be attacking the Sony EQ Webpage, not the EverQuest Emulator webpage.

[Piska]

now that you said that it would be really funny if sony was doing it. haha

Yeah seriously, whoever u are, grow up. Get a life.

[rbysa]

fuck you guys... you guys decide to report me on IRC to you know what when your doing it yourself you know what WOOT whosever doing this keep it up cause you guys are all pansies and you think your so cool because you play EQ for free WHICH IS THE GAYEST GAME gawd even the people that play EQ have more of a social life than you all you are are social rejects gawd.

[rbysa]

btw the way i dont fucking care if you ban me ouch like im really missing out on anything. Gawd you dont have to be a bunch of fuking tight asses loosen up and if you do then i dont see the fuck why i can't IT WASN't off topic because the admin was doing it.

[Trumpcard]

Did anyone understand any of that?

[Clouwn]

I understood when he said "***" but I don't understand any main points of that pointless crap, not to mention the second post he/she/it made. Everyone here has a social life, if no one here had EQemu would be better than EQ but since everyone here does have a social life outside of our DoS screens (unlike some). Well you get my drift. And please can you form coherent ENGLISH style sentences? Not something that looks like it was pooped out of your donkey ass. Damn bastard sitting and dosing servers is not a social life. In fact you just proved how low life of a person you are, because you waste your stinking time actually doing something against something else whereas you could be doing your social life stuff like you claim to have. Now shut your mouth you monkey and stick to your dosing but dos websites like Bulbagarden and Pokemon.com for being weird and stupid pointless crap but not things that give you free stuff.

At the peak of the traffic, we were receiving 180mbit of syn type packets. Our uplink decided to null route our subnet at their uplinks because of this.

I will also be adding a new rule to the message boards terms of services. Any "EQEMu Unfriendly" posts will be charged a $250 administrative fee. Dont forget, I do get your real IP addresses on the posts, and most of the time, that is all I need to get your real information (see http://www.cyberjunky.net/hogieown.log for info)

[khuong]

i'm sorry.. i'll stop dosiing u guys .. :-/

[Trumpcard]

Wait a minute... I have a sports car....

[Aspirax]

Any "EQEMu Unfriendly" posts

Whatever happened to freedom of speech, expression and press?

[Trumpcard]

how exactly do you charge people?... Just wondering

[Zafar]

One way that they can charge you, is by taking legal actions and have a lawsuite against you. The judge in court would decide if the terms qualify and then determine if the offender(s) have to be punished. Then, there is a degree that the offender(s) can be punished.

The other way, is very much different, they'd have to make available, a notice that you have to pay to access, or to have possession of, or to gain possession of the product, service or otherwise. This one, does not involve any lawsuites or court. Basically, more or less what I am saying here is, like going to a site, to purcahse a server, it would have a page saying:

Purchase EQEmu Server (32 user license) for $29.95
Purchase EQEmu Server (64 user license) for $39.95
Purchase EQEmu Server (128 user license) for $129.95

And such, so you don't get roped in to anything, and they cannot be sued thereafter for unauthorized sales, etc. But for malicious activities, such as DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, Ping attacks, and other forms of malicious activities, they can, and warrant the rights to block, remove, revoke, or modify access to the offender(s), and also, to press charges and have every right to procescute the said offender(s) to the maximum extent allowed by law. Now I know, the law in each state may vary, and some do vary from one to the next, and then there is a "typical bylaw" that is the same for every state. The only thing that I can and will suggest, for additional information is to contact a lawyer that deals in this area so you know what your rights are.

The EQEmu Server project does reserve the right to press charges on the offenders, provided it is their own servers, however. Now if it is not their servers, I believe they can still press charges for theft of content, services and such, but at another degree, the companies and/or individuals hosting the content, services, and such on their own servers, can as well, press charges, too! Then you'd have a double whamy from the hosting provider, and the people that are making the content, products, and services available. Know what I mean?


how exactly do you charge people?... Just wondering

[JBenison]

IMHO paying for the EQEmu server defeats it's whole purpose.. :?

[ichijin]

They are not saying they will charge for it. He is saying they -could- charge for it if they wanted.

[Divide]

The terms are there for dumbasses that do stupid crap like this. EQEMu is ran off Donations. We want to keep it that way. But we dont want ppl DoSing the servers so no one can enjoy the free service that is given out here. Fun is defined as "Enjoyment that does not inflicnon enjoyment of others." Think about it, IF you did a DoS on sony they would not Double bill ya. They would take your lame ass to court and charge you For all the lost time and money. that means 20k accounts X $12.95 plue Legal Fees. Think about that before you pull a stupid stunt. If i was Hogie i would add something like that to my Terms of Service.

[DeletedUser]

heh, i'm afraid of posting now.. :(

[rbysa]

sorry my actions were obscene and therefor highly immature. No, apologies don't make things perfect but then again I feel i should take responsibility for what i did. Furthermore i had no reason to be upset and once again im sorry for acting so childish.

[O6scured]

You know not all men who buy sports cars have small penises... some of em are large and rich with money...

[Piska]

lol they have the money for plastic surgary, is that what you are saying?

[Baron Sprite]

Some men get rich from having a large penis...

[danjh444]
