If you fix the IP flooding (Host booting) problem that would be awesome, you would have infinite brownie points with me if you find a miraculous way to fix that.

Also cool dogs dawg.
That's not actually IP flooding, IP flooding is DDOSing.

Host booting is when someone forces someone else to be host by not being able to connect to anyone else in the game and then the forced host denies connections from the players he wants to kick. Because the host of the game acts as the server the players get kicked since they can no longer communicate with the server which connects all the players.

Progo, Shrew, Chryso, all are the same.

will this guy make it so that in future games, respectful players are not as susceptible to 'betrayal booting'?

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Cool job, every one of these Breaking In articles makes you realize how many kinds of jobs there are in the industry.

No gold text??

Posted by: Achronos
Most Bungie employees don't have gold text. Only those people who need to be "official" on the forums and some special cases who have been otherwise trained by the community team get it. This list is generally very short, usually consisting of the web team and the community team with very few exceptions.

In case anybody is wondering, yes, that is a change from the original policy (a change that happened some time ago).

What you just described I call it bridging someone host. People did a lot of it in H2 but I'm not sure if it carried over to H3. Meh anyways I just call it host booting.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

To all the guys with this kind of job, thanks for keeping the hackers at bay :D

Yeah you need to bridge host in order to host boot, I was just giving a full explanation to highlight the differences in the technique.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I'm telling Sage, he'll nerf it!

Quite the read though.

Hey DeeJ for some reason the breaking in pages take for ever to load and they keep loading constantly. I'm using Firefox and I have no issues with other pages on Bnet or any other website.
Is their anyway to fix this because I would love to read it.

I, too, have experience the same problem. I think it's because the news page doesn't achieve will, it's overflowing with data in the past with image and youtube url links.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

Good luck to the new guy.

  • 09.20.2012 5:55 AM PDT

cool, security guys are fun to have around. not sure about the banhammer blindly flailing around though... no thor references was a shame.
