DDoS involves a lot more than two IP's trust me. That is why it is so hard to track. No real way for Rogean to stop it. Unless the person doing it, paying for the Handliers, runs out of money, it isn't going to end. That's where the cost is. And the FBI is not going to do anything. P1999 is a pimple on a Dog's ass compared to the rest of the DDoS attacks they have.

Typically you are right. And without knowing the hardware of the P99 server, I wouldnt be able to say for certain. But there are stress-test tools on the internet that when combined with cheap-processing power from cloud providers can do some serious damage for very little overhead.

Any anti-DDOS/intrusion software tho would prevent this kind of attack though since all packets originate from a single IP/subnet. But a single server does have the ability to run a DDOS against a not-well-defended machine.

"In a DDoS attack, the incoming traffic flooding the victim originates from many different sources – potentially hundreds of thousands or more. This effectively makes it impossible to stop the attack simply by blocking a single IP address; plus, it is very difficult to distinguish legitimate user traffic from attack traffic when spread across so many points of origin". Quote from Webopedia.

So I guess that is the main reason Rogean can't stop it.

Best way to stop these attacks is to block all IPs from the whole region they are coming from....prob somewhere in Asia (Russia). Alot of these bot services originate from there, from my experience. If attacks are from US region, then it's tougher to block.

We could always make p99 a whitelist server Yeah it would be a pain in the ass, but it might help. I've personally not logged in a week because of this shit.

Those of us who travel and play ( like myself) would be hosed unless we used some 3rd party program to spoof a whitelisted IP. Which i would rather not deal with. However...if that was the only way to stop this bullshit..than bring it on.

Also not everyone is given a static IP by their ISP. Mine refreshes at least every 24hrs, if not quicker. This would be an absolute PITA for myself.
