AT&T blocks img.4chan.org

FFFFFFFFF

and nothing of value was lost

>>2
Actually, yes.  The ability to refer AT&T users ``Back to /b/, please!'' has been lost.

>>3
just divert them into /lounge/, problem solved

Find a proxy. Or get one of those 5$/month vserver and install your own VPN.

>>3
We can still tell them that. They've simply lost the ability to follow through on our polite requests.

/b/ is back up for me as of now, just thought I'd keep you all posted :D

I thought you were just kidding...

I couldn't get on /prog/,/r9k/ /a/ and /g/ all day
At first i was hoping this would be permanent, so i would have the time to code something worthwhile without interrupting it with /prog/ bullshit, esp. the game(this is real project despite what you think),but i had to check it few times...

the game

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

How do you guys think he's not a troll

>>11
We do think he's a troll, get with the program already.

the img boards should be taken down permanently and their users terminated .

>>13
i report u to legiun!!!!!

>>5
Where do I get me one of those? Decent hosting is a bitch and a half to find.

>>1
FFFFFFFFF
>>10
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
GET OUT!

AT&T was being flooded with requests to 4chan, the sort that is caused by DOS attacks. They responded by dropping the ACK signals to 4chan for some time.

>>17

Unlikely story.  I don't BELIEVE YOU EXPERT PROGRAMMER]!

a bunch of at&t kiddies got backdoored and have been wasting their bandwidth ddosing img.4chan.org

tl;dr anontalk > /b/

>>19
Wow sure is hard to spoof the IP source address for SYN floods.

tl;dr some script kiddies > other script kiddies

Wow sure is hard to spoof the IP source address for SYN floods.
Doesn't Windows try to make it nearly impossible to spoof IP addresses by disabling raw sockets & a bunch of other shit, or some other such nonsense?

There drivers which plug-in and you can generate as much raw sockets as desired.

Uncertainty is the essential, inevitable and all-pervasive companion to your desire to make art. And tolerance for uncertainty is the prerequisite to succeeding

Limitations on Raw Sockets

On Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2), the ability to send traffic over raw sockets has been restricted in several ways:

    * TCP data cannot be sent over raw sockets.
    * UDP datagrams with an invalid source address cannot be sent over raw sockets. The IP source address for any outgoing UDP datagram must exist on a network interface or the datagram is dropped. This change was made to limit the ability of malicious code to create distributed denial-of-service attacks and limits the ability to send spoofed packets (TCP/IP packets with a forged source IP address).

>>23
Software restrictions always stop people from utilizing the hardware how they wish

>>24
Well how does one override those faggoty-ass limitations?

>>25
Write your own driver you gigantic faggot. Jesus christ.

>>16

>>23
My Windows, a crippleware? It's more likely than you think.

Microsoft's software is distributed under licenses that keep users divided and helpless. The users are divided because they are forbidden to share copies with anyone else. The users are helpless because they don't have the source code that programmers can read and change.

If you're a programmer and you want to change the software, for yourself or for someone else, you can't.

If you're a business and you want to pay a programmer to make the software suit your needs better, you can't. If you copy it to share with your friend, which is simple good-neighbourliness, they call you a "pirate".

sup Rimmis

>>29 Perhaps the same could be said of all commercial software?

A strange neurosis, evidently contagious, an epidemic mass hysteria. In two weeks, it spread all over town.

"Free software" does not mean "non-commercial." A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important. You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to sell copies.

>>32
Stop replying to posts that don't exist.

>>32 What is the point of paying for "Free software" if you get the source for free?
Also, this weird notion of "Commercial free software" has contradiction in purpose.
If e.g. programmer X develops a free "Commercial free software",
 and someone copies and sells this commercial free software, multiple times, is it still free?

These above restrictions do not apply to Windows Server 2008 , Windows Server 2003, or to versions of the operating system earlier than Windows XP with SP2.

One of the things you buy with "Commercial Free Software" is a number to call because you're too fucking retarded to use the software. The person on the line may have a horrid accent, but they won't treat you like it's the /prog/ help line.

Too bad nobody is using those Operating Systems.

The word “free” has two legitimate general meanings; it can refer either to freedom or to price. When we speak of “free software”, we're talking about freedom, not price. (Think of “free speech”, not “free beer”.) Specifically, it means that a user is free to run the program, change the program, and redistribute the program with or without changes.

Free programs are sometimes distributed gratis, and sometimes for a substantial price. Often the same program is available in both ways from different places. The program is free regardless of the price, because users have freedom in using it.

Since free software is not a matter of price, a low price isn't more free, or closer to free. So if you are redistributing copies of free software, you might as well charge a substantial fee and make some money. Redistributing free software is a good and legitimate activity; if you do it, you might as well make a profit from it.
