Hello ACP, other armies, CPAWM and club penguin people that managed to stumble upon our site. As of friday, a hacking group called NULLROUT have been ddosing club penguin’s servers including sleet, Fjord, Arctic and big foot, they have also been disconnecting the login page aswell click read more for Q&A, and information about the group.
Q: What is ddos’ing and dos’ ing?
A: Ddos means distributed denial of service and dos simply means denial of service.
Q: what happens before, during and after a distributed denial of service attack?
A: Before a ddos or dos attack occurs, someone or something has to get the IP or internet protocol adress from a site, a computer or a server. The person or group that are doing these attacks enter the IP adresses into their program. During an attack, the computer, server or site gets overrun with packets and cannot count for all of them so the computer will disconnet from the internet, a server or website will be rendered unavailable to users. After an attack the computer, server or website recovers and goes back to normal. Here is a diagram of what a ddos looks like.
Q: What can I do to protect myself from denial of service attacks?
A: I recommend getting a VPN, some you can get for free, other you have to pay for. You can also un-plug your router when you go to sleep and plug it back in when you wake up, that way your internet protocol address will change.

Thank you for reading my post. I encourage you dont tweet to NULLROUT because that could be a way of getting your IP address.

First!
It’s a little too late. I tweeted to Nullrouted to stop, last night. Like 2 or 3 times.
