Hello Codeproject!

I've done some research the past weeks on what exactly dossing and ddossing is. I had a couple of questions that I could not find the answer to, and I'd be happy to get an answer to them!

1. In the style of a byte[], what would a packet from a (D)DOS attack look like?
2. Is there a way that I can block a specific IP from a C# application(Obviously blocking it so the router doesn't pick it up, not my computer.)?
3. Is there a way I can find out what packets are being received by my router, and derive the IP from them?

I also have a few firewall settings on my router. What do these exactly do? And how effective/safe are they?

I wish you all a happy weekend!

Friendly Regards,
- Dimitri

1) No comment. We do not condone, support or assist in the production of malicious code in any way, form or manner. This is a professional site for professional developers. And explaining such things would aid the malicious-but-stupid more than the victims.
2) No. You cannot stop messages being delivered to your router via your IP unless you disconnect the router from the internet. Think about it: until the router receives the packet, it doesn't know where the packet comes from! :laugh:
3) Dunno - probably would depend on the specific router.
3.1) Dunno - again it will probably depend on teh specific router.

Try reading up on DDOS, there is a summary here:
Mitigating DDOS attacks[^]
And Google[^] can help as well.

Thanks Griff. I did not mean to write or give the impression to write malicious code. It was simply meant to get a general impression on how it works, and try to find a detection mechanism for it. As for your links, cheers.

I didn't think you did - but you'd be surprised how many idiots we get here posting "how do I write a virus / trojan / Attack a site?" - and we don't want to encourage them.

(Except to visit hacker sites with the AV and firewall disabled, of course)

Dimitri Nostarik 26-Jul-14 4:27am

Haha, I laughed harder than I should have, but it's the truth. I was going to ask another question that actually had to do with this, but it's for a project I'm doing.

Should I make another question, or just ask you here in the comments?

OriginalGriff 26-Jul-14 4:37am

Probably best as a new question if it's specific.
That way it gets seen by more people and thus a better "range" of possible answers.
This one has an answer posted so it doesn't appear on the "unanswered" list any more.

Dimitri Nostarik 26-Jul-14 4:39am

I see. The reason why I was hesitating to make a new question is that because I've learned myself programming(Still at school/17y/o) I'd rather not create 100s of questions - attracts mean programmers.

Anyways, I'll create it.

Provided your question is not trying to get us to do your homework, then you'll probably be fine! :laugh:
There are a couple of d*ckh**ds here who can be rather over-enthusiastic in commenting, but most of us are fine. Ignore the morons, and try to post a question that is clear and answerable by someone who can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind and they will probably ignore you.

Dimitri Nostarik 26-Jul-14 4:52am

I'm having difficulties posting this question, as the idea is something I'd rather keep to myself for now. I will post a question as soon as I have a problem while working on the project.

OriginalGriff, you're like my superman in answering my questions. I can't ever contact you directly, but you show up once I need you.

Friendly Regards,
- Dimitri

"as the idea is something I'd rather keep to myself for now"
Then it's a good idea not to post about it on a public forum with 10,000,000 members, yes! ;)

Dimitri Nostarik 26-Jul-14 5:23am

Oh I forgot to ask! Is there such a thing as a Virtual Private Server that gives you a simplistic view(Similar to how Teamviewer works) from where I can host my C# servers?

OriginalGriff 26-Jul-14 5:38am

I don't know - I don't use Teamviewer (as I am my complete team it seems a little pointless) so I can't help.

Dimitri Nostarik 26-Jul-14 5:51am

Same here, solo developer - tough life. Haha, but anyways, something like this:

As I seem to be unable to work with SSL.

OriginalGriff 26-Jul-14 5:59am

No idea - sorry. You're going to have to ask someone else about that one!

Dimitri Nostarik 26-Jul-14 6:04am

Alrighty, thanks a lot for your help Griff. May we one day speak outside of Codeproject!

OriginalGriff 26-Jul-14 6:07am

You're welcome!
Maybe one day...
