Forum :: Lounge :: Main/test Server log in.

So my friend was crashing endless online main/test by "Pinging" or something like that, anyway it allowed players to log in. I guess he tried it again and didn't work. First question what is pinging, second was that really allowing us to log back in, and third would anybody like to give it a try?

I believe that "pinging" at this situation, means like sending many many packets to server all the time, and trying to either crash it or make it laggy.

I bet that it does not help you get online.

I was thinking it was along the lines of something like that, thanks. But who knows, it's worth a try.

Pinging, although, is also a form of Connection, and seeing as the server isn't blocking the packets from the IP; It seems its possible that its taking in the packets since they are simply calling for a return, but this may also allow you to slip in a connection&welcome function from the server and connect if its receiving the connections through your IP. Fair luck!

UPD flood is much effective then pinging. It 99% crashes the server if you got a good 10mbp/s connection.

And your point is? I didn't say that pinging is good way to crash server... I just stated what pinging can mean and what are the goals of it...

Lolwut? Keep pinging a server and watch your bandwith ;)

 

Would pinging be a form of DDOS?

If you have multiple bots/zombies doing it, yes. It's not the most elegant way though, because the server sends replies to your bots/zombies.

DDoS, does not, in ANY way, crash the server. It blocks traffic, and when you stop "LOLZ, OMG, SERVER CAME UP.", LIKE OMG, YOU STOPPED ATTACKING, OF COURSE IT CAME UP. There's no magilicious way to restart the server without having actual access.

Pinging is kinda like DDoS. More like DoS<==Rofl.

It's never effective for anything. But it can be used in such a manner.

soooo, another idea, is there anyway someone could get Jimmehs Ip track it, and "the only way i can describe it" screw him over. Not saying anyone should try this. that would be kind of dumb. But yah dumb question, vote down it.

I'm guessing since he is a member on here and eohax Sausage would have access to the ip/ip's he has used when he posted.. but I guess you would have to personally ask Sausage to give it to you.

And i don't think that would go over too well. I don't want to try it anyway.
