Hi aprone.
I can imagine hackers trying to muck up the game to cheat, but to do it
simply to cause trouble is down right scummy, particularly because it's
likely these hackers are probably visually impared themselves since they
wouldn't have heard of the game otherwise, which makes it doubly
Dark,
From sighted indie games of my past, I'm used to the idea of hackers trying
to ruin everyone's fun, so that doesn't upset me as much as others might think.
Yeah it does annoy me, but I don't take it quite as personal as maybe I
should, just because I've seen it for so many years.
Jeremy,
It's highly unlikely that the attacks you're seeing are from your
players. There's not really any incentive for them, and direct
attacks are so easy to track back that if it were one of your players,
you should be able to smash them easily.
I say this because we get literally thousands
Wow, that's even scummier than I thought, some people are just naturally
vandals.
one thing I do wonder however, is how games like Alteraeon, cor exiles,
kingdom of laothing etc stay up. Perhaps, it would be worth having words
with dentin, the Ce dev (I can pass on her mail if you like), and
Dennis, they do trace back to actual players. I know that the internet is
swarmed with automated attacks, and I ignore those as well. I'm specifically
referring to attacks that easily trace back to Swamp players that have been
banned.
One of the 2 recent attacks left enough information that
Dark,
It's not really vandals. It's the botnet guys, and they don't care
one whit about mudding or audio games or anything else. All they're
trying to do is get machines that they can add to their botnet.
The basic idea is that the bad guys get a huge number of computers
under central control,
hi aprone,
since most of these hackers are chinese maybe they chinese government
offers free hacking courses for these people
since now you are a potential target for them especially after
swampnet you probably should consider getting a firewall or something
for your other computers

Jeremy,
That's pretty weird. I haven't seen a machine based attack worth
talking about from my player base in nearly fifteen years, and in that
case I just called up his provider and got his accounts revoked. I'm
sure there have been other hack attempts, but I'd have to waste time
rooting
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
hi all.
While the internet offers its own anonymity and someone can change
their IP address and login name the audio gaming community is still a
small one.
I think that the well established audio game makers who have evidence
about specific gamers should publish it in order to warn other people.
true
sometimes we get lucky and some contry mainly the us manages with a
lot of mucking about over several years of looking round to close one
botnet down, however they only seem to go after the majorly serious
ones, so sertainly going after these bad guys is quite resource hungry.
I think
china does get a bad wrap but they seem to be at the forefrunt of a
lot of the goings on these days saying that they make all the
computers and other things they basically have taken over most of the world.
wouldn't make sence to get anymore.

Hi Dennis.
Well that doesn't surprise me, not with the amount of spambots we regularly
have to boot off the forums on audiogames.net, though I never actually
realized the same people were behind full attacks on servers, I thought
their main purpose was to generate E-mail or other forms of

Yes, I've seen War Games, but it has been several years ago. However,
I take your point as it seems all too possible that some cracker might
do something like that.

Hello Enes,
That is why I distinguish between hackers and crackers. Hackers, white
hats, are good guys who try to steel information for some legit cause.
Crackers, black hats, are bad guys who give hackers a bad name. In
this case its obviously a case of the latter not the former.

Dark, for a very long time it had gotten so bad that literally 100% of work on

Some of the people are just cheaters looking to give themselves an unfair
advantage over the other players, but a good percentage are doing it for
malicious purposes. We get hackers that try to crash the server so that no one
can play. We get hackers that try to disrupt other players' clients
That really sucks.
I know that's not adequate.
Good luck keeping them out.

I would actually recommend asking friends if anyone has an extra mouse. A lot

more, extra mice and keyboards. This can be a free way to pick up a mouse to
