Just managed to sign in, comes to something when you rely on another hacker group to sort out the mess and give updates.

Other than prevent ls from flooding the servers what else can others do?

 

[Fr0dders]

not being an internet armchair expert but there are companies out there who specialize in protecting you from this type of attack.

It can be done.

I don't think theirs anything that could stop a DDoS attack, that's kinda the point.

 

[Ayahuasca]

It would be incredibly expensive to keep up that kind of protection 24/7 Fr0dders. You could argue they should pay it with the amount they make but profit > everything else.

 

[cu3ed]

Live is back up for me fully now.

 

[MadFruit]

Wow, desperate to sell xbox ones over here, you can get a One with both the Assassin's Creed games for AU $399 or about £210 or same deal with Halo and Sunset Overdrive for AU$449. No equivalent for PS4 which is annoying as i would have picked up a PS4 for that deal.

 

[Mr Jones]

Still cant sign in...

 

[tribz]

Me neither

 

[danclivo]

Been playing offline for a while. Just went to the dashboard and noticed that I'm back on Live.

Fingers crossed.

Not really with the likes of psn or live which needs persistent connections to each client to work.

MS used to brag that they had virtually unlimited servers to cope with any demand.

Yeah, about that.

Have I missed the halo mcc offer? It seems to have gone back up and not available to purchase in the store.

Yeah, about that.

They probally do to cope with normal demand, but it is a question of if their perimeter network can handle all the traffic

 

[Buffman]

Sunset overdrive 22.50 for anyone interested today. (xbox one download)

 

[bigjonnyauk]

so in a weird twist lizard squad asked kim dot com for 3000 premium mega vouchers and they would stop the ddos on ps4 and xbox

as he loves gaming he obliged and the attacks stopped its on kims and lizard squads twitter

 

[cu3ed]

Great...that REALLY helps us out in the long run..actually paying them for this, Live has been running since late last night for me anyways.

 

[DeanT77]

Yep, apparently he will revoke the memberships if they attack either of them again.

On one had its a bit silly what he has done as this will open up the flood gates for other weasel squads to try this but on the other hand props to him for stepping in and sorting it!

 

[MrMoonX]

Still not working correctly u can game but marketplace downloads keep failing

I might have once been a Cisco Certified Network Associate but that's all out the window now. It seems these attacks online are just possible because of the Internet's hodge podge design. If the world ever gets on to IPv6, will these DDOS things still be possible?

IPV6 wont do anything to stop DDoS attacks. What needs to be done is for the ISP's/NTP/DNS service providers to reject the spoofed headers used in these types of attack.

 

[Rybo89]

Have microsoft been killed to death?

Cannot get on any online game (360/one). Cannot get onto anything on xbox.com.... ****....
