Is this a case of "we only have so long left", or do you think
they'll eventually give up?

Something NewtoPlay
I haven't contacted any providers lately because it hasn't been
helping. The last few times I bothered to contact anyone the
information traced back to small businesses (coffee shop type
things) or schools, and they just ignored me. I doubt they care
to lose any business over some random guy reporting abuse.
The most annoying attacks have been DOS attacks and packet
injection to try and break the server or log in as other users.
The DOS attacks were fairly small scale by most standards, but
that doesn't mean it didn't cause huge lag and log in issues.
The one a few days ago that hit my LAN looked to me like it was
meant to exploit the remote sign in feature in Windows. They
probably assumed I was using that to check the server, which is a
fair assumption, but was wrong.
As I said I don't worry about the standard background internet
garbage, since that just comes with the territory, but I think
it's a big deal with people from the community itself are doing
these things.
I think the reason you haven't seen much of this in Alter Aeon is
because they're still preoccupied with Swamp. Many of the
hackers are the same people I've dealt with for a year now. Each
time they are thwarted they clearly spend time learning new
things because their next set of efforts shows improvement. So
if after a year of learning and trying new things we have blind
audio games players who are willing to target the personal
property of game developers for fun, then I think we have a
problem. Odds are, they won't wake up with the ability to see
tomorrow, so they aren't going to just go away. If they have
this destructive mind set and only the audio games community to
prey on, then other developers are going to have to deal with
them at some point as well.
