Theory

[Xog]

My theory of TW being down is:

Priitk is tryign to save some money so he is only letting some routers transmit, allowing only people from certain parts of the globe being able to connect, or one of the routers is just messed up :P

Good theory, no?

It's his money. I know I'd do the same if it looked like it was going to be a tight month budget-wise.

Blame it all where the blame goes..... To the ass-hole who is DoS attacking our server.

what is Dos attacking?

[Burzum]

That means replacing Windows on the server with some shitty DOS 6.0 version.

A Denial of Service (DoS) attack is a flood of packets that consumes network resources and causes gridlock. This gridlock prevents or denies users access to online resources, which is the origin of the term, "Denial of Service" attack. An attack may originate from a single source (DoS), or remotely from numerous machines (Distributed DoS or DDoS) that have been infiltrated. These pawn-like computers that forward DoS attacks are called "zombies", and are usually distributed geographically.

Usually the owners of the attacking computers have no idea they're attacking. These things usually come from huge networks of computers that people have gained access too and installed some kind of distributed sleeper software that waits for the command to start flooding. Even moronic script kiddies know better than to DoS from their home computers. Very hard things to trace unfortunately.

Jason, from what I heard, from a semi-reliable source, Priitk is pretty rich. I believe the exact words were that he's a millionair.

Basically spamming the server so much that the current situation arrises.

Surei t's not the PoS Direct Operating System stolen by Microsoft to make our lives hell with it's random crashes, and redundant Error messages?

[apt]

BLA a Hockey Zone player who was banned for unknown reasons, took revenge upon the zone by DoS and DDoS'ing the servers. The company hosting the servers took action against him and tracked him down to his home, leaving the lawyers and law enforcement to deal with him.

This was HZ, not TW.

But I don't suppose Prit, could do any of the same.

[TelC@t]

This kind of Dos attack happens every now and then, and in my opinion, too often.

Maybe its a time to find a cure ...

[DarkBlaze]

Ive seen hosts that make en network that takes the ddos attacks and lets the server unpunished so ... might look for one of those thats all i wanna say about it.

another question: do you have to pay the DoS Traffic?

Yes, we have to pay for bandwidth used.
