Multi-vendor Game Server (GameSpy) DDoS Attack

Posted by Hemos on from the how-many-games-do-you-have dept.

w4rl5ck writes "PivX has this security advisory about DDoS attacks using a single modem line and some game servers (i.e. Counter Strike, QuakeX, Battlefield 1942 - in short, those supporting GameSpy). Works via spoofed udp packages querying the server stats, and because udp is connectionless, the server simply answers - to the spoofed address, of course. Funny thing, isn't it?

    My ex was from Philly. Her parents were fucking nut job alchoholics. Her brother was a fuck up with a talent for passing out drunk on the shitter. Ofen times, this was at work. An extended family of degenerates and rejects. Plus, they were all Irish Catholic. Her only redeeming quality was that she would take it in the pooper, then she'd suck my dick. I miss that bitch.
