Author Topic: Smooth - "I was just clicking reconnect!" 18,000 times?  (Read 8475 times)

I'll start this off saying this isn't the first case of him attempting to DoS.
Not even his second.

In this topic here you can see BlurIsBack is getting lots of connection requests.
They're all coming from the same source, "108.226.252.52".
Pecon checked that against his database of IPs stored later in the topic, and found out it was Smooth.
I've checked it too in my personal database and it was the same user.
Code: (IP_108_226_252_52) [Select]
Format: Date/Time/ID/Name

I've also had experiences with this user on my friend VitaWrap's server.
He had lagged the server (unsure how) and then VitaWrap banned him permanently.
VitaWrap then had gotten a bunch of connection requests, just like I had.

Now to my experience on my server.
I had started hosting sometime around  3:40 to show my friend VitaWrap something I've made.
Then comes two other users, Smooth and Dannu.
I remembered my past experience with Smooth and was debating on whether or not I should ban him then.
I decided against it and gave him a second chance, and he was fine at first.
Then he started spamming a bunch of 64x baseplates saying it was art, I didn't mind that.
After a while I went over to Blender to work on a model I've  been making for a while.


I've alt-tabbed quite a few times then my friend VitaWrap messaged me on steam to ban Smooth.
I went back to see that the server was lagging because Smooth had planted over 85 bots, and only started clearing them when I had said something.
I then discussed with VitaWrap to see if I should ban Smooth, which we did come to the decision to do so.
A few moments later I've noticed the server started to lag like crazy, worse then when he had spawned the bots.
I checked the console at that moment to see that it's being flooded with connections requests.
I've mentioned about it on the server, then Dannu had said that he couldn't believe it.
He apparently is friends with Smooth and Smooth was telling him that he is just clicking reconnect to server.

I had guessed at the amount of connections, thinking it was only in the hundreds since it didn't seem like in my console.
I then decided to check my console.log and found that it was way more then that, in the tens of thousands.
Dannu eventually left, and then Smooth decided to come back on his alternate, Phil.
I immediately knew that it was Smooth since I saw in the console that it was the same IP.
Of course he claims it's Smooths brother and that he was just relaying the message.
At this time I told him that I'll hear him out, but nothing was going to change my opinion.
He then tried to claim the same thing he said to Dannu, that all he was doing was clicking reconnect, and that he didn't know how I've gotten 18,000 attempts.
I then made a witty comment saying I might would believe him if I had no knowledge of what a DoS was, and had a rail-road spike in my head.
During this time I was receiving the packets again, while he was on the server.

He eventually left, and I then banned this alternate of his.

Chatlog for those who don't want to dig through the console.log

My 1.3mb console.log that couldn't be uploaded to pastebin since it's 1.3mb.
Message with my friend about him saying I've banned him.

Smoth's ban order
"Phil"'s ban order
His spam on my server. 90% of which was his.

man he was just trying to join your server


that looks kinda neat tbh
anyways /support

man he was just trying to join your server

ya but if you crash/attempt to rejoin 18,000 times then there is something wrong with your computer.......





this is the best building




1. /title: lol nice title



2. Are you sure it wasn't just sugar who joined your server? lol jk I know that it wasn't him/her, sugar is a good builder

I never thought Smooth was like this.

Oh, by the way, you should start working on that crash protection add-on of yours to add DDoSers.

That can't and won't help with people attempting to (D)DoS.
There is no real way to block it other then contacting your ISP to block the IP itself, but if they're DDoSing it's pointless.

I've seen that place on utube
