Do you understand what you are saying at all?
It's impossible to track down someone that is DDOSing you because the computers that send the packets were infected with a virus. When you infect them with your server they become part of your botnet.
@OP - If you got taken down by five bots then that is sad.
Impossible to track down? Geez christ. I am not sure how many times Tibia has been DDoS attacked and all the attacks have been tracked and the performer reported.
fucking newfags, how do they workF** transparent proxies how do they work
Is that why the-website-is-down ? http://www.crewebs.com/Trust me, I have years of experience with DDoS attacking, I am quite sure that I know what I'm talking about.
I wonder how Kimmo stops those "5 Gbit/s" DDoS attacks on his PRQ.se server with a hardware firewall...
Those were probably UDP flood attacks, since TCP (SYN) attacks cause the attacker's IP to get shitlisted/blackholed.
This renders most script kiddie DDoS tools useless — since they require the server to respond in order to send further packets.
I wonder; does UDP flood work if there are no UDP services running...
probably S/RTBH and uRPF
