Crashing a WoW-Server- Would These Methods Work?

[King Shaun]

Uhmm yes, not to be affending anyone here but if you look at his thread..

'the intention was to find out if they would actually work and so i can work on protecting my server'

Many kind regards,

Shall go crash wowgasm now ^^

well my uber leetness just because you were the fastest sperm out of about 10 million still doesnt mean u know jack $hit. Simple workaround with proxys and the private servers and have all the info from them that it wants. As far as the Warden goes???? LMFAO!!!!! For those of you that want to fix that prob as well google this ------ ISXWarden-2.3.0-5------------- Just for $hits and giggles anyone wanting to crash either server, im gonna post a link on my youtube for yas :wave:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQJygOOcm9c]YouTube - WOW PWNGE!![/ame]

Well mafia if you really want to lose the vulnerabilites. simple. make sure that you know your GM staff. they have the ability to hose you over faster than hell. Make sure you trust them.. Because anyone in security will tell you its not the hardware or software that is most vunlerable.. its people and social hacks that bring most damage.. beyond that to save yourself from yourself in your original post you asked specifcally about pings and spams.. go into your spam settings i believe in ascent.conf that says x about of posts in y amount of time.. make the posts somthing like 50 so ppl can still post their damage meters (thats imho the only thing the spam filter ever catches) and the time set to somthing like 5 or 10 seconds. this way if you spam /spit or another emote or a series of emotes.. it shuts you down for 30 seconds.. and most computers can handle 50 emotes spammed at once.. unless you are seriously low on resources. next ping.. whatever router you are using (which i suggest you use one properly configured) turn icmp reply off. nobody needs to know that ping yourhost.servegame.org is responding.. they can either log in to the game server or they cant. if they cant they bloody well dont need to know if they can ping you.


so in a nutshell.. use spam filtering on your server and block icmp requests and your server will be much more stable, user friendly, and less likely to be crashed.
