I swear Sony has the cheapest security infrastructure of all time


No it's the second cheapest, right after Westbrook baptist church. That shit gets hack every other day.


Sigh.


Calm down man, I was making a joke. Can't understand basic humour, sight. And usually servers pick up on DDos and stop it. A server wouldn't usually serve 50million requests from a single point. Obviously these people knew a way to get around modern protocols of stopping DDos and had a fair few resources and know how to bring down a infrastructure that can serve tens of millions of people at once.

so it is a fault in their security because their servers continuously served empty requests that it should of picked up on. Please educate me on how it's not a fault in their security. I'm not saying it only happens to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have probably been subjected to it at one point and xbox live is brought down without attacks (xD). 

Please learn to read humour, people on the internet aren't as ignorant as you think.

LMAo no, just no. Amazzong went down they have the biggest server farm in the world...There is NO Way for a server to know the diff from a DDOS attack and regular users hitinmg the servers from thousands of bots.

SHHH, this is sony's terrible servers didn;t anyone tell you? DDOS is impossible to stop, it is literally lots of communication hitting yuor server, only way top stop it is stop the servers. Can happen to anyoine.

No please, your modem will stop DDos. It will literally tell you if you are the victim of it and try to stop it (. You can download program's for servers and even antivirus and firewalls have basic functionality to stop it. 

dDos is not impossible to stop, if it was then any retard with cmd could bring down Sony, because you know a server can't tell that's it's serving 50 billion requests from the same IP and it should stop that.

type in DDos security and you will find literally hundreds of prevention program's. Please stop this misinformation.

No.... Please the basics of a DDos is to split the information to handlers and go after the target. There is a lot of ways to stop that, Ips based prevention, black holing and sink holing firewalls on switches, routers and servers, etc. 

making thousands of bots isn't viable you compromise handlers. Because you would not have the bandwidth to make the amount of bots to take down a server farm.

If "PC MASTER RACE" is an actual reason as to why they're overloading PSN then I give up.



The_Sony_Girl1 on 24 August 2014

Really? No wonder I can't access my PSN account.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Probably a start up group that wanted some of the attention that anonymous get. They obviously weren't good at it one got caught from what I read and the penalty is actually quite big (upto 10 years) he will give up his friends sooner or later. PC 'nerds' probably won't mix in prison (at least not in the way they want...)

Do you have any idea what you are talking about or are you just chaining words together to sound smart?

Stopping the packets from reaching the server is the easy task. That however doesn't free up the clogged lines to the datacenter. DDoS needs to be dealt with by the ISP or else any dropping of packets at the enterprise edge is meaningless if they're targeting all available WAN links including the backup WAN.

But even then it's a risk for the ISP because large scale blocking will also affect other sources and destinations.

The only way to successfully stop a large scale DDoS is being Google or MS or Amazon who have spare datacenters coming out of their asses to defer traffic.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

It's not that serious, or is it.

ROFL, if it were that easy com,panies like Amazon, the gov would not always go down from them...Sorry a DDOS is just an overload of http  requests, there is no wya od distinguish , lol at your modem can stop DDOS, yet billion dollar orgs cannopt stop it.

 

The onyl to to fully stop DDOS is end packets being received which means no one can connect....Yoy don;t have a clue what you are talking about. It is not hitting just 1 server, ever hear of a server cluster?...your knowledge of this is embarassing.
