Aah, did you just describe how to make a 'DDOS'? I already knew it then.. The only thing what can help is an anti-flood or send-package-limit script? Or am I just saying something impossible again.

Oh.. But Arran posted a 15 seconds log of the attack. He used different IP's for the attack(I think), alot of different IP's. That means he controls the computers(different IP's)remotely. On each computer will be shown a different CAPTCHA code, so he only can connect with the computer he controls. The remote controlled computers can't connect, 'cause of the different CAPTCHA code. I just think he used different IP's, don't blame me if it's wrong. If the CAPTCHA code idea can't help for any other hack and/or attack this topic can be closed.

Isn't it a flood that is attacking CIT?(although I thought it was) If you need to enter the CAPTCHA code befóre connecting to a server, you prefent flood connection. That means that you can't get a "server overload" because you didn't connect, you only connect áfter entering a CAPTCHA. Now if it can't stop a DDOS it's useless I think, but if you can, it's usefull. If they connect without using the MTA client it's totally useless.. Damn I thought I had a solution.. But I do think that I found the attacker of CIT, but I'm not sure.

Hey, I played on the CIT server for some time, but now it's attack by a 'DDOS' or something? But while I started thinking about a solution for this kinda attacks, can be a build-in CAPTCHA code help to prefent these attacks? Maybe it's a bit unnessacary for the not-populair servers, but the security of servers right now is just too bad for as far as i know. Maybe this is a bad idea, but I like it. It isn't annoying, because you only need to spend 3 seconds of typing 2 words or 4 digits to prefent 3 days of playingtime thrown away by a no-life hacker. Before you are connecting to a server, you need to fill in the CAPTCHA correctly, else you can't connect and you need to try again. The server can't flood then. Well, this is only my 2 cents. Since I'm banned for a strange reason at the CIT forum(postwhoring? I only posted 15 posts or something) I try it here.
