[Tier1 ISP]: Vulnerable to a new DDoS amplification attack

Thu Dec 22 10:45:09 UTC 2016

I admit that I have a lot of guts.

Not sure who said that I am a booter or that I operate a booter. I fight 
booter since more than 5 years and who would be stupid enough to put his 
full name with full address to a respected network operators list? 
Definitely not me.

I want to help and fix things and I am not the kind of person to break 
things.

Man, as long as you use amplifiers (third party services) or botnets your “service” 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 throw those big attacks that you advertise will possibly take down many others third-parties on the way.

Come on… if I leave my car open with the key inside it doesn’t give you the right to use my car to throw into a third party company. And if you do, it is YOUR CRIME, not mine.
