Silkroad Online Forums

JoyMax must get those pretty much daily, but what is weird is the fact that no-one has sent a really big one, I mean.. there must be at least one fed up guy who has the guts to do it..

not that many of us have are pathetic enough to DDoS an site for a FTP game because were "angry" about customer service.....seriously if you can DDoS you can find another game or go enjoy RL....

What is a DDoS?

Most Modems and Routers block those. Thats why you cant get a successfull ping to silkroadonline.net or tracert same with my ip. I would imagine that Silkroad Online have some up to date software and hardware to stop that as well.

I remember when ppl could ddos attack sro. One weekend xian rebooted around 12 times.

omg, whenever people type afaik i think they're speaking egyptian or something...

Well DDOS attacks aren't limited to ICMP pings. You could at least attempt to perform a DDOS attack on any port or service that is listening on the server. I'm sure Joymax has IDS equipment in place to detect these things and firewalls to help prevent them. However, firewalls won't necessarily stop attacks on ports that are allowed through the firewall. The IDS should still detect it though and warn an admin of the activity.

There are GMs in SRO? I thought it was just a rumor!

I say any attack should be directed at any spamming gold company.

Just my .02

i bet the gold company has a better defence than sro. they should do the attacks on weekends, maybe open up some server space for legit ppl who wanna play on sat and sun
