I am saying!=20
As far as I understand you are offering DDoS attacks as a paid service, rig=
ht? Some people would say that you offer DDoS for hire. What is the differe=
nce between your service and a Booter service. Only a =E2=80=9Cvalidation" =
that your client is =E2=80=9Cstress testing=E2=80=9D him/herself does not m=
ake you legal. Sorry man but you can NOT claim yourself as a legal/moral ac=
ceptable stress tester if you misuse devices on the Internet, such as ampli=
fiers, webshell, and botnets.=20
Although you don=E2=80=99t consider yourself a Booter, you are one of them!=
=20
I leave up to you the definition of stupid.=20

Hi Jean,=20
You are either naive or have a lot of guts to offer a Booter service in one=
of the most respected network operators list. Man, as long as you use ampl=
ifiers (third party services) or botnets your =E2=80=9Cservice=E2=80=9D is =
illegal & immoral. In case you use your own infrastructure or rent a legal =
(cloud) infrastructure to provide your "service" it will not pay your costs=
. Not at least by the price that you offer your service: 0, 13, 100 bucks. =
Even if you have a legal/moral acceptable attack infrastructure, if you thr=
ow those big attacks that you advertise will possibly take down many others=
third-parties on the way.=20
Sometimes you folks say that (mis)use amplifiers for =E2=80=9Ctesting=E2=80=
=9D purpose is not a problem because those services are open and publicly a=
vailable on the Internet. Come on=E2=80=A6 if I leave my car open with the =
key inside it doesn=E2=80=99t give you the right to use my car to throw int=
o a third party company. And if you do, it is YOUR CRIME, not mine.=20
I don=E2=80=99t need to explain why using botnets is illegal and immoral, r=
ight?=20
Man, it is up to you decide between cyber crime and cyber security (https:/=

Hello all, I'm a first time poster here and hope to follow all rules.=20
I found a new way to amplify traffic that would generate really high=20
volume of traffic.+10Tbps=20
** There is no need for spoofing ** so any device in the world could=20
initiate a really big attack or be part of an attack.=20
We talk about an amplification factor x100+. This mean that a single=20
computer with 1 Gbps outgoing bandwidth would generate a 100 Gbps DDoS.=20
Imagine what a botnet could do?=20
The list of affected business is huge and I would like to privately=20
disclose the details to the Tier1 ISP as they are highly vulnerable.=20

I know it's Christmas time and there is no rush in disclosing this but, it=

could be a nice opportunity to meditate and shed some lights on this new=20
DDoS threat. We could start the real work in January.=20
