GMS Server Status Discussion 2012-01

For the love of god, it's public knowledge on what's happening. Anyone can DDoS if they pay the money and know where to find the resources. It's just illegal, and that's why most people have never risked it. There's not "method" that was made public. Anybody can technically do this.

They don't have to even be at their computer to do what they're doing, it's called a bot.

What the pineapple is with you?
Have you not been able to understand that this is at MAXIMUM a couple hundred people DDoSing?
I will repeat myself from earlier.
It took anonymous several THOUSAND people to take down a small selection of websites designed for minimal viewer traffic.
And you're convinced that a few HUNDRED people are taking down ALL of Nexon's games at the same time, when they're designed for tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people?
I wouldn't call this knowledge. I'd more call this being gullible.
For pineapple's sake, this is far more likely to be Nexon sucking at everything and their servers crashing. The hackers are taking credit for it to boost their reputation. If they could figure out how to DDoS an entire pineappleing set of games with (at maximum) a few hundred people, they wouldn't be using it on NEXON's games. They could probably sell it for tens of thousands of dollars. Take down any game or site with minimal effort.
