Downtime reduction ideas

This is one of my first posts and I would like to preamble with the statement of HB / GB are both excellent products and work very well! Now, for the most part they are up 99% of the time? But it seems any time a AV weekend comes up ( or maybe that's just been the luck of things ) the auth server / site get hit by some random botnet and things are down again :< ... would it be possible and still work with what ever goal GB / HB / Bossland have for controlling use of the application to create some sort of cookie on our PC that lasts 96 hours or some thing, maybe tied to an IP only and / or machine name / and or MAC address that would allow us ( maybe just lifetime users? ) to use the application with out the need of the auth servers? Again, great product, great work, keep it up and thank you!

i would love to second this.

would also reduce the to many sessions thing when closing and restarting due to a error

 

Without use of Auth servers theres no way for the tripwire to shut down bots if Warden updates. No tripwire = 100% Ban chance when warden updates to detect a bot. This is with any bot. Not just this one.

 

I hate when shit like this happens, like c'mon 3 TB DDOS. They've been doing a good job handling it though xD. Which auth server is being attacked? HB or GB? Because atm i'm still botting with GB

 

Even google has had hicups in service and they have unlimited bandwidth. Botnets are relentless and only serve one purpose.

 

They are one and the same.

 

Would it not affect you if you were already logged in?

 

i say... catch some ip adresses and organize the hb community to take each damn computer down one by one xD!!! damn ddosers.... xD massive arp spoof? reroute the ddos to themselves... muahahha... "imagination... best entertainment while hb is down"

 

it would be a huge net > 500k easily.

 

its a botnet. the computers involved dont even know they did it.

 

Don't know what your problem is...yesterday was the first time (i can remember) where i tried to start hb and it failed. Compared to other bots and their downtimes i think hb/gb is absolutely the best.

 

Ahh - that makes more sense. Perhaps a button that is always turned off when logging in by default regardless of what was selected last time that doesnt require auth that has a disclaimer like "I'm about to disable auth and will not be notified when a new version of warden is activated and am here by comprehending I have no protection against it and will likely get myself banned and won't QQ on the forums" would work

 

my host called me today that the attack outlimits our pipe by the 23 - 24 factor

 

What can they do to shut this shit down lol ?
