Also, figuring out a website's IP address is trivially easy, and you need a lot more than that to do it any harm.

Sure, but I figure that at least some of the guys here could harm a site with just the knowledge of the IP address of that place alone.

Yeah, we harm their website through malicious thought power alone...

Get a grip dude.

I'm sure that you could significantly damage a site due to a concentrated DoS-attack, with just knowing the IP address alone.
Frankly, I have no idea if that is true, but at least I could imagine that a program, adjusted to send millions of spam messages to a single address, could crash a normally well-functioning server within mere minutes.

You also need the urge to commit a crime.

[oraltyrap]

Honestly, dude: do you think anybody's going to go to the trouble of setting up a ddos attack without checking the IP he's attacking first?

[soyclocky]

That is a good point.

Shudder...

I'm a Silverlight guy if I need to go the plugin route.

I have access to research on the strobe frequencies most likely to cause petit and grand mal seizures.

Anyone got any idea what it might be?

From the announcement:



AJAXifying the Banning Rod?

A cookie management tool that lets you post as all your DLs from one browser?

Everyone who posts at CG already knows what it is. Anyway, now that you're a mod we have to make it official... Funko is a bastard.

Also, would anybody even notice a difference if Poly were DDoSed?

And would anybody really be seriously considering to bother to conduct such an attack?
