Just for the record... haha... actually being in the security business and dealing with actual DDoS attacks on a daily basis.. I just chuckled when I read his guide for the first time..

First off let's not get the terms confused

DDoS and DoS.... the fanboys targeting you Destiny Most likely.. actually 98% sure .. do not control a botnet and are not performing a true distributed attack if they are show me some logs and I will forward them to my contacts at the FBI and we'll see what happens after a few months. So let's move forward with the assumption that you are getting DoS'd because this is most likely what is happening.

The easiest and most common way to actually DoS a "Server" I'm using that word here and please note that many streamers are not running servers.. is to open a connection constantly to the system and spoof your sender address... this will cause the server to contact a fakjavascript:addUBB_selected('reply_area',%20'quote')e ip address constantly waiting for a reply..

Think of it like this.. a crazy ex girlfriend, you call her from a strange phone, and she calls you back 50 times say HEY HEY HEY HEY before finally getting upset and blowing her brains out.


Now... you being one individual.. and not hosting a server or anything that should be handling connections in that manner should not be affected.... unless you have some service or something exposed. By default your home router will not be accepting random connections.


So is there some flaw with skype that allows me to completely kill your connection once I get your ip? Probably not... so what the hell is going on... or is it just every streamer in the world just using that excuse and not really having any idea of what's going on.

Someone should PM me their logs after the suffer such a DoS and I'll take a look at it...



Why do you think DDoS is an issue?

Because dozens of people in the streaming and youtube world have had to deal with inexperienced kids DDoSing their connection offline.

It's not like you're running a web server and are spammed with GET requests on a static content (like most real DDoS happen).

You don't have to be running a webserver for someone to spam your home connection with SYN packets using a botnet.

Don't open ports you don't need, don't respond to ping requests and worst a DDoSer can do to you is spam SYNC/ANC.

Closing ports won't prevent a botnet from saturating your line. Once your line's been saturated, nothing you can do at your level will help.

Assuming even 10mbit connection, do you know how big the botnet has to be to kill your connection with just SYNC/ANC?

Not too big? I don't know the specifics, but seeing that dozens of people in the industry are hurt by these incredibly stupid/inexperienced kids kind of lends itself to the fact that these large botnets are very easily obtainable (at least for 1 minute-sustained attacks).



You can't spam a home network with Syn packets and bring it down...

[image loading]


your home router will not respond to Syn's because you are not answering connection attempts. It's as simple as that.... Maybe Skype does? I'd need to look into the traffic.... but just having an IP address.. spamming syns.. you will not take anyone out... it'll hit your router and just be dropped.

He's not going to take up your offer because 1. It's childish and 2. It's a huge waste of time to prove nothing but your own views (which relatively don't matter)

Assuming he's right and I'm wrong then it's a matter of "$15/month for stupid kids that type few words into google and push some buttons". Surely for a person with his knowledge it's easy money in no time.

And ha-ha on 1, considering only reason I had to offer the bet is because of his obnoxious ego that clouds his views on reality.


Sir.Kimmel, thanks for the lengthy response!
I may be wrong, but you can kill the connection on home router with SYN if you spam them enough so the connection gets overflooded with requests, doesn't matter if router responds or not at this point. Granted, that requires enormous botnet that nobody will sell for $15 / month.. $1,500,000 maybe


It's obvious that this bet is not to prove an informative wrong or flawed, but to attack the person who's providing it.

If he takes you up on your bet, he's enabling you that this kind of behavior is both justified and valid (which it isn't, and it's beside the intention and point of his post).

Not true... Syn floods rely on on you initiating a connection and the machine you sending the request to contacting back.. a syn flood will not affect a home router... the fact that an external source should not and cannot actively initate a connection to a router because there's nothing to connect to will prevent the attack.. you can sit here and spam my IP address all you want... my router won't even spend an ounce of effort to respond to it.

For a syn flood to work I would need to actively have a port open such as 3306, 22, anything like that, actively accepting connections... and if this is your configuration.. well you're and idiot.

Keep in mind we are specifically talking about a syn attack which is the most popular method of DoSing

The first two people in this thread are exactly why a guide like mine is needed. If I knew where the second guy worked, I would literally do everything in my power to make sure you were out of a fucking job. Retarded fucking dipshits like you have absolutely no place giving advice online, holy shit.

DDoS and DoS.... the fanboys targeting you Destiny Most likely.. actually 98% sure .. do not control a botnet and are not performing a true distributed attack if they are show me some logs and I will forward them to my contacts at the FBI and we'll see what happens after a few months. So let's move forward with the assumption that you are getting DoS'd because this is most likely what is happening.


The fact that you even honestly think you can knock a standard internet connection offline with a DoS means you need to kill yourself, or at least leave the field you're working in, Jesus. Kids can rent a botnet for $15/month EASILY these days, learn how to use a fucking search engine, idiot.

It's about protecting against DDoS on home networks. The methods he suggests using are good for other use cases (proxy traffic), but why the f would you want to defend against DDoS on home network?


Because streamers are getting DDoS'd on their home networks, that's the entire point of the article.

I couldn't walk by knowing that somebody is wrong on the internets and spreads his "knowledge" around. I raised a few questions, which Destiny replied to in his traditional ways. So it seems that easiest way to prove my point is to offer a simple bet, which he dodged (lol).


If by his traditional ways you mean answering your questions, then yes. He answered all of your questions.

Reddit fan boys being reddit fan boys, I'm being down voted for legitimate questions, so I figured it would be more constructive to post on tl.net to get a more healthy discussion (I know there are actually qualified people to talk on this subject here, unlike reddit).


The reddit and teamliquid communities overlap heavily.

Either take it and prove you actually know what you're talking about or stop spreading false information amongst people that don't know any better.

Lots of people who don't understand how the Internet or DDoS attacks work in this thread. Going to close it for the good of everyone.

TLDR: Streamers are getting DDoSed on a home connection by using Skype which leaks their IP. The type of DDoS attack is irrelevant as long as it has sufficient bandwidth to saturate the downstream. No, the attackers don't have their own botnets, they pay $20 to rent-a-botnet sites to use them for a few minutes at a time.

His method in no way prevents a DDoS if you have the IP. The whole idea is to prevent people from getting your IP on skype. If you somehow manage to get around it and get the actual IP address, you can still DDoS.

The reason is that most of the top streamers are getting their IPs taken from skype, so his post will be greatly helpful to those

After reading this and reading the reddit post. I suggest that both Inori and Sir.Kimmel finds a cave and crawl back in there. Because everything ur saying is false. I have many friends that got ddosd. I spent so much of my time listening to them and being a moral support when they were furious trying to protect themselves from it. I'm not saying that i'm an expert in this subject.

Someone linked this to me and i just had to say this because making up stories doesn't help future streamers.

In order to test this you need to have a regular connection and open up a stream so we see it goes down.

I doubt r1ch will be able to do anything, unless he has a gigabit ethernet line to spare or something lol. As for a DoS, only really works on shitty ISP rented routers that can barely handle a load of 5+ users. Any number of ways to fry the crappy 90s processors on those things.

Doesn't seem like I have good enough bandwidth to Estonia with my single server, I was able to see your latency spike though so it obviously had some impact, would probably make SC2 jittery at least. Now imagine the same thing you just saw happening with 10 or 50 infected servers slamming you, some of them in Europe where they can actually get full bandwidth to you. Your ISP also offers 100mbps down which is still quite rare for home users, especially in the US. The larger your downstream the better your ability to withstand such attacks.

As I said I'm simply allowing R1CH to test without commitment, only I am commited to the bet right now.
When he agrees to commit then we'll discuss logistics.

I don't think you should have tried R1ch, especially if you only have 1 server. Now he's only more convicted.

Seems your router responds to ping which is bad, seems like I can saturate your upload. But yeah, since I can't simulate an actual DDoS with just one server I can't really take the bet. Don't feel like spending $20 at one of those shady sites .

Exactly. It was only a single server that managed to affect your ping. Now, as Rich said, imagine fifty or more of those all doing the same thing. Not too difficult to imagine, right? You can pay for access to a botnet off a site like HF and do that. Anyone with some extra cash and a desire to fuck with you can do it.

After reading this and reading the reddit post. I suggest that both Inori and Sir.Kimmel finds a cave and crawl back in there. Because everything ur saying is false. I have many friends that got ddosd. I spent so much of my time listening to them and being a moral support when they were furious trying to protect themselves from it. I'm not saying that i'm an expert in this subject.

Someone linked this to me and i just had to say this because making up stories doesn't help future streamers.




Heh... I'm not wrong though. You cannot send syn packets to a router and kill the connection.. unless there is a misconfiguration or something is stupidly open. Point blank that is my statement. I am an expert in this field I hold several incident response certifications.

Can you send malformed packets? Yes... Can you potentially DoS someone through Skype? Sure... but just sending Syn packets to an external router.. will not work. I have worked with several large banks/fortune 500 on mitigation strategies. But Destiny, it's pretty easy to tell where I work.. I've posted numerous blogs of mine on this site.

I'm really not trying to get into an argument here, Destiny's guide is fine... if someone is attacking you through Skype, great simply run through a VPN. But I threw a few disclaimers into my statement, because I'm not sure how people are actually taking someone offline through skype... I would need to look at the logs and grab some pcaps to really be able to tell. Using my opinion I can tell you though, that if Skype is simply accepting a ton of traffic and it's flood your network, simply shutting off the program and clearing active connections would stop this attack after a few minutes. Keep in mind that you would have to wait for the connections to close but you wouldn't receive any additional traffic once Skype is closed. My entire point before I was rudely called out by one of the prominent personalities here, is that a simple syn flood will not take down a home connection, and that is a statement you weren't even bringing up Destiny so there was no point in attacking me. I did misspeak on the botnet though, I meant to say that I don't believe people are using a botnet which can be bought. It would be simple to code a tool to send consistent connections to one IP address over Skype, I would need to see some traffic but you could easily do it from one system, and simply run it through TOR... not hard.

I think this conversation does bring out a major flaw in the way Skype does work though. Interesting, I think I'll do some testing in a lab and post something up in the coming days.


Think before you post Destiny... I wasn't necessarily calling you out, I think some of your statements are misguided though, but your guide is helpful. I just don't necessarily think it's needed.

I don't wanna go there, you're welcome to test one on yourself though .

Basically neither myself nor Destiny have the resources to take this bet without actually using one of the "rent-a-botnet" sites. Inori has a 100mbps connection which can absorb most single DoS attacks (not DDoS). So this thread basically comes down to "I have a good internet connection", if this was a 20mbps or slower connection like is more common among home users, it would definitely feel the impact from a single DoS attack.

Theoretically you could still kill a poor router even if it is servicing a 100Mbps line. I imagine thats what most streamers are vicitims of as ISP provided routers would easily overload under standard udp / tcp packet floods?

As for the cost of botnets the kid that was DDoSing Destiny claimed to be paying $9.99 for a 100Mbps botnet, not sure how true that is but his connections issues were very apparent and all things pointed to DDoS.

Destiny's guide is fine... if someone is attacking you through Skype


Welcome to the entire point of the guide. This isn't a new revelation, you're not telling Destiny or anyone else anything they weren't already aware of with this statement.

I think this conversation does bring out a major flaw in the way Skype does work though. Interesting,

Sure, if the goal was to take it down for a long period. These rent-a-botnet sites work for 60 - 90 sec at once, with a limited number of uses per day. 60 secs is enough to interrupt most connections, drop games, etc, but it has no ongoing damage like a continuous DDoS from a real botnet would, hence why they can afford to rent them out for $20 to script kids.

I'm not sure how you're still requesting this $50 bet when you said yourself that a simple DoS attack from R1CH caused an "almost unnoticeable spike", which is against a 100mbps connection. Using rent-a-botnet is going to cause a much larger spike. Asking R1CH to use his own money to prove an obvious point is just as pointless as this thread.

$20 / month or $20 per use? If you're saying it's $20 / month then I still say it's a scam. $20 per use maybe plausible.


Twenty dollars a month to ruin someone's internet, someone who relies on their internet for their job. Someone who feeds himself and his family with his internet connection. It's not a scam, it's a very real and very devastating issue for a lot of people. Do your homework before you open some childish grab at attention in a fucking forum thread.

Story time.

About a year or two ago, there was a kid that DDoS'ed Destiny's connection. This was before DDoSing became prevalent in the community. How did Destiny know he was getting DDoSed? Because the kid skyped him and bragged about it. Destiny did his own research and found out that you could pay websites to saturate lines, though they would most likely only disrupt residential-level bandwidth. The kid kept on DDoSing and DDoSing, driving Destiny up a wall. He contacted his ISP, numerous forums, even the FBI, and got nowhere. Eventually he figured out that his Skype was leaking his IP, so he got a proxy for it and suddenly his stream was fine. He then tried to go after the kid, resulting in the Judge Judy story you might have heard tale of. Nothing came of it, but the DDoSing stopped after the Skype proxy went into play.

Since then, DDoSing has become much more popular, kicking other famous streamers offline. DDoSers have disrupted the EG teamhouse, many LoL streamers, and more recently Stephano's opponents. All attacks have stopped when the victim got a Skype proxy and reset their IP address.

Inori, you may have the technical knowledge, but you haven't had the experiences that the streamers have. There's a reason those DDoS sites exist - because they make money. They don't all work through the Skype exploit - I think they originally started by DDoSing XBox Live connections. You could be right - it could be an extremely trigger happy $500 rich kid DDoSing everyone in sight. But it's still a problem for which Destiny provided a possible solution.

Destiny fanboys, please shut the fuck up. You're not adding anything to the conversation, as usual.

I remember in the past plenty of WoW arena players would regularly get DOS/DDOSed while playing for glad/r1 ratings from random kids whom somehow got their skype information, which would cause them to drop/lag out from the game.

So, while whatever precautions you're taking Inori seem to be mildly effective, most gamers don't have this knowledge and/or expertise. The issue is real, regardless if you admit it or not.

What you're saying is literally the equivalent of holocaust-denial. People have lost thousands of dollars of revenue to having to deal like this. I've gone through 2 interviews with the FBI trying to get shit done. I've done tons of extensive research on the topic out of necessity for survival. For you to waltz onto the internet and act like you have any idea what you're talking about (when you clearly have no fucking idea what you're talking about) and then make a bet for $50 because you think you're hot shit is incredibly fucking insulting. If you want to try later tonight, I'll have a few friends who own some booter sites, I'll take on your little bet and flood you offline, no problem.

First off let's not get the terms confused

DDoS and DoS.... the fanboys targeting you Destiny Most likely.. actually 98% sure .. do not control a botnet and are not performing a true distributed attack if they are show me some logs and I will forward them to my contacts at the FBI and we'll see what happens after a few months. So let's move forward with the assumption that you are getting DoS'd because this is most likely what is happening.



Pretty sure that most people that ddos are using "booters" which is a pretty much a compilation of php scripts on servers.
So the term DDos is 100% valid

Didn't take precautions at all, except for the very basic on-off switches that a soccer mom can press. I actually noticed a few holes halfway through R1CH tests, but figured I'll let them slide, since my original point was about illiterate people like Destiny.

I want to clarify that 100 mbit is not uncommon in Europe. Costs ~ $25 / month.

See the problem with me testing myself is that I think they're scams and even if I test it myself nobody will believe me anyway.

I think a proper botnet to take home connection down costs $500+ /h, which is not the money any angry kid would spend just to fuck with a streamer, which renders whole Destiny rant void.

What you're saying is literally the equivalent of holocaust-denial.

Dude... just no.

Holy shit you're fucking delusional.

And you're not adding anything useful to the thread. Please stop.

@Inori: What is your explanation for the recent attacks if it's not the 20/month botnets?

Not to be rude or something but 1 post saying how wrong Inori is .... is enough. Just give it a rest dude we understand ur point. All ur posts has been nothing but complete garbage except 1.. the first one which u stated ur opinion. It's enough now

I don't understand, then why does this kind of activity happen on a daily basis to streamers in every community? If people are rich enough out there to donate hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars to their favorite streamers, I'm sure there's people willing to spend equal amounts to fuck with them.

Most of it is people with bad networks / ISPs / router / router configurations. Claiming its a DDoS is just something the community does now because its become such a common term.

Did I read it wrong? Wasn't the challenge to take Inori network down? Because if it is, and his network is still up, then he is winning the bet.

I'm not talking about this DDoS/DoS stuff, as I hold no knowledge on the subject. All I'm saying is that no one has taken down Inori's network, which was the challenge.

4k posts and you act this entitled? It might not be a serious problem to you, but what about all of the content you consume (and probably adblock simultaneously) and the people who produce it who've been involved in DDoS attacks? This list includes the Live on 3 show, SotG, Day9, me, Stephano, countless other streamers/tournaments...

To have someone come onto a thread and go "sry this problem isn't real ROFL i have experienc"...do you have any fucking idea how aggravating and insulting that is?

I'd need to see the logs to say for sure.

I'm saying that to initiate a botnet to take down home network either takes a lot of skill or a lot of money.
So either Destiny has very powerful enemies or more realistically his ISP simply sucks.

Not just me, but literally dozens of people in the community.

Destiny is saying: hey, you can rent "stress" or "booter" websites for $15/month. That stupid kid that he talked to in that youtube video wasn't spending a lot of money and have very little technical knowledge. Plus, there are dozens of people in the community who have had to deal with these attacks.

Inori is saying: this is impossible, there is one super hacker, who had $1,000's to spend DDoSing people, and he sounds like this:

when try to explain your problems to me by comparing your "troubles" to the experiences of my great aunts and uncles who died in the gas chambers you just look like a douchebag.

Its just a poor strategy for getting people to empathize with the problems of people who have decided to play games for a living instead of getting a real job.

Thanks. Not sure about the ISP being the more realistic option though; saying stuff like "What you're saying is literally the equivalent of holocaust-denial" could anger quite some people...

You'd need 5x that for it to even become annoying, not even talking about actually taking connection down.

My point still stands that this kind of botnet is far more expensive that $15 / month and thus nobody would care enough to pay that much just to fuck with some streamer.



It doesn't cost 15/month to rent a botnet. It's more like $15/hour. I think a typo keeps being repeated or something, not sure where the 15/month thing came from.

People get flooded for about 5 minutes, just long enough to be knocked out of a Starcraft game and get a loss. Then the attack stops. Then it starts again 20 or 30 minutes later to knock them out again.

Inori if you really curious I suggest you pay to rent your own botnet and send it against yourself. Renting a botnet is quite illegal (not to mention the sketchy money transactions) and nobody should do something stupid to prove a dumb point except for the person who requested so himself.

in the analogy of holocaust denial that he proposed he was the victim, and the script kiddies were the nazis, and inori is a holocaust denier.
I was really only objecting to the use of the word "literally," because comparing your professional problems to the experiences of holocaust victims is fucking stupid.

The analogy is actually pretty clear i think you are confused.
