Feedback: Statement on recent DDos Attacks

[Herr Ruin]

You can hold me to my word, before this weekend is over these fuckers will get what they deserve. DDoS is one thing, every scriptkiddie with a few bucks allowance can rent a DDoS Service but spamming CP is more than crossing the line.
Playing big bad hacker while your own shit is as insecure as possible is never a wise move

[Σ]

Use your skills Herr. I know you can take care of this.

dude i think avoyel.net is eh pretty cool guy, eh spams cp and doesnt afraid of anybody

[Idiosyncrasy]

I hear you guys.  I know you all are disappointed, as am I.  I just wanted to get the site back up as quickly as possible while we find other solutions.  As a moderator, there is not much else I can do, and even as admin I will admit my skills would be limited.  Do you all have any other suggestions for something we can implement that would fend off future attacks?  I sent some of the DDoS remedies suggested by our host to Arnox, and I would love to hear of any alternatives.

There is not that much you can do against a strong/well coordinated ddos attack, at least nothing that's easily implemented or for free.
Although I'm not that familiar with SMF Boards, there are certainly hacks that allow you to include better captchas so automated registration is harder to achieve. Another possibility would be to forbid posting IMG tags for users until a certain post count is reached, this would give you a larger window of opportunity to ban spammers before they can post CP. I'll do some research to help out in this matter

#edit: This mod is one example for implementing reCaptcha instead of the standard. Captchas:

lol i had an alt with almost ur name on zoklet and u wont beliiieeve what pasychomantis told me in pm

Actually, this was something I disagreed with doing HEAVILY but by the time I had learned what was going on, Idio had already spent a lot of his time negotiating with this turd for us and I didn't want to throw that all away. Especially when I respect Idio an awful lot. So, I let it happen, much to my chagrin.

Trust me guys. The only reason why I allow that stupid thread to stay stickied is out of respect for him and nothing else. So please, go easy on him. He doesn't really deserve to be involved in this mess in the first place. He should be busy enjoying his life instead of worrying about how this is going to get fixed.

To the admins:

Its your site, your rules, obviously you implement the tactics you think will get you through the day. But as someone that just got here, it j seems like you folded to a bully and have now agreed to give him your lunch money every day out of fear and worry. I'm the last person that understands any of the techy stuff behind any of this, I can barely download and attach pics to an email. But at the same time this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, as I don't know how to play the role of downtrodden victim....online or off.

I won't make any bold statements that I'm leaving over this, I just wish you took a more hardline stance towards a bully. What's that old line.."we don't negotiate with terrorists"? This wasn't a negotiation at all, instead just falling to their demands, and like so many have already said....its a bad precedent to set.

To the attackers:
As I've stated already, I don't know jack shit about techy computer shit...mostly because I have a REAL life with REAL problems/issues. I'm more of an old school man, and find spastic little chumps like you to be the silliest and weakest of the herd. Sure, you sit in the comfort of your home, playing keyboard warrior all because you studied code and became some nerd geek about all of this. But you ain't "cool", "tough", or a "man" in any sense of the word. Just a snivelling little coward hiding in the shadows fucking with other peoples fun all because you lack any real world confidence, capability or social skills.

You are like the little kid watching from your window as everyone else is playing kickball, but because you are the awkward weirdo scaredy cat, you have watch from afar all forlorn and sad because you don't "fit in". And then you have to play these games like a cowardly chump. While you take glee on winning the occasional battle with your keyboard cowboys tactics, the rest of the Universe tramples on you in every aspect of your life. Whether its socializing, getting a job, picking up girls, or just having the confidence of ordering a sandwich at a deli....you DO NOT fit in to this world, because of what kind of hapless and sad little victim you really are. Just thank your lucky stars you were born into THIS era of time in the last 20 years, where you can hide like a little bitch in the shadows and occasionally "get over" with your geeky nonsense. The rest of the time you are just a simple and frightened loser, more than likely in the fetal position sucking your thumb from that harsh and cruel REAL WORLD that you can't ever deal with on equal terms.

Sucks. To. Be. You.

I missed DaGuru his autistic rants that nobody reads

[bling bling]

im so mad and ass aching because i got owned i wrote a book for you

Hi there, my young fellow. How are you doing? It appears to me that you are, in fact, kind of displeased with the current situation. What is it, that makes your life hard currently? Is it maybe because of the recent roasting of your jeromes that suddenly happened? I really have to say that this roasting was, without any doubt, the strongest since the year 2000 hoax. Do you may have an idea why this waddling of your walters was so powerful? No? Well well well... I can for sure tell you the truth about this important event. It was ME who tricked you into this displeasement. I can hear your brain trying to comprend who this is even possible. But, and I'm sure about this, you cannot comprehend of what happened to you because it is too complex.

Even Zeus and Thor were struggling finding the right way in this gigantic and evil maze of trickery. It took me 1000 years to fully write my plan down, and another 1000 to understand it. The complexity is higher than that of a 14.dimensional dodecahedron. It all starts out with the day of this legendary ruse. The day of rusement was carefully planned and calculated on this exact day. The day where an astronomical constellation appears, that will never occur again in the next 3 googolpex years. A constellation that generates an antimatter black hole. This sort of black hole doesn't suck matter. Antimatter black holes the "well being" out of everyone. But did you see someone feeling bad today? Yes, my little fellow. I created a lens that focus the power of the antimatter black hole directly on you. It took 300 years to create this extremely complex lens and I had to combine the power of God and Satan to create it. But not enough with the rusement. As I'm not some f----- ruseman, I have planned even more trickery tricks to lead you into this discomfort.

When you were mindlessy surfing on this forum I made a post that I was sure will put you in the mood of rage. This post was sprinked with lies and intentional logical fallacies and a good portion of something you dislike seeing in your surroundings. With my ruseman instincts I already knew you were typing your response to the displeasing content you just saw. At the exact moment of sending your resposne you have started up the machine of displeasement and "not well being". A machine that one started cannot be stopped. Not by God, not by Satan and not even by Cthulhu himself. While your comment was traveilng through the cyberspace you started feeling bad. Something in you brain was screaming but you just didn't know why. It was destiny that you fall for my trickery. With this message you are currently reading I am telling you something you should have tought before you were sending your pathetic comment to me.

I am, in fact, A MASTER RUSEMAN GRADE 3. I was part of the ancient circle of master ruseman. I can see on your face, that you already kew this. A ruse this fantastic and gigantic cannot be done by some low grade rusenoob. Yes you have been RUSEDI by me. There were only one RUSEDI knowen to mankind until now. Can you imagine of how hard it is to do? Only two RUSEDIS were executed in the past... 3... Trillion... years! Now you finally know about this unbearable discomfort you started feeling right when you got my response. The response, this message, reveals of what has been done. You... yeah YOU... have been rused. You are powerless, you want to scream but you can't. You just sit there in a mix of rage and helplessness. You want to find this guy, this MASTER RUSEMAN GRAFE 3, and you want to kill him. But at the exact moment of thinking, you also realize that you will never be able to even come near such a powerfull being like me. This ruse has set me into a position higher than Hades thus making me a God. Well well well... You seem even smaller now. Compare your pathetic life to me and you will realize that you are nothing. You think now you might come over this rumbling of your jordans. You think you can bear it, but my devilish plan goes far deeper. Now after you've already been rused to infinity this letter discomforts you to a new level of discomfort. In the moment you are reading what I wrote you realize how pathetic you are, How useless you are. With every single word of you, your very SOUL gets crushed. Your soul is now demolished. God can't take you o heaven, and Saan does not want demolished slaves. Your sous is permanently banished from a real afterlife. Your soul already tryed to escape your body. But your soul cannot escape into the eternal spheres thus it will be stuck in a permanent sate of dying. Every day you will suffer thinking of a way to escape this almost deadly RUSEDI, but it is too late, You are RUSED FOREVER!

Yes my dear fellow, I know you want to know who is responsible for this. I will tell you my story now. I don't know where I'm from, but I know I was the firs to exist. I was alone but soon a few people followed. We made a circle called MASTER RUSEMAN. Only real MASTER RUSERS were allowed to join this exquisite circle. We agreed that we will never decide who is the best MASTER RUSEMAN. But after some time I found a way to lead my fellow comrades into a tricky situation. I claimed that I'm the best MASTER RUSEMAN in the circle. It didn' take long till everyones jacobs were rommled. After they found out what exquisite trickery was played on them, they agreed to give the one who caused this discomfort the title GOD OF RUSE. Now you finally realize what huge impact this ruse had. You never tought that you will be, in fact, rused by a godness. Somehow you feel honored. Honored to get your gustavsons jingled by the god of all MASTER RUSEMAN. The life of what you called your life. The rusement was too strong. Not even time itself could recover from the wounds this monumental trickery caused you. Iam, for my part, pretty proud of myself. Even I had my doubts if I could make a contrivance this huge and tricky. But I did it. I managed to create the most thoroughgoing RUSEDI. You have been rused by me, the ONE AND ONLY!
Even after 100 years you will remember this day. The day of THE ruse. The day the GOD OF RUSE personally made a statement, to intentionally discomfort YOU. Songs will be written on his masterful ruse. And I hold no remorse or regret because for I am and always shall be THE GOD OF RUSE.

So, instead of contacting the proper authorities and having this disgusting CP spamming fuck prosecuted - your solution was to do exactly what he wanted? You guys suck.

[Semiazas]

Bling blings gimmick became old and tired long ago.

[Arnox]

So, instead of contacting the proper authorities and having this disgusting CP spamming fuck prosecuted

With what details? What are we going to give them? Not supporting what we did at all but still.

You and I may not be able to get much information on them, but trust me, child pornography is a serious, serious crime. The fact that you guys don't want to take the time or think that these sick fucks should be forward to law enforcement is just fine by me. That's your decision. What absolutely blows my mind is that not only do you not want to do everything in your power to turn said pedophiles in - you want to cooperate with them.

Absolutely fucking despicable.
