Targetted by DDoSer / Exploiters

Had the chance to look at those videos. If I am being completely honest I don’t know how legit those videos are (not that you are lying to me but I don’t know how deceptive they are or whatnot). That being said, assuming what they’re doing in the videos is legit, there’s absolutely nothing you can do about this. You should create a new thread in #platform-feedback, because this doesn’t really have anything to do with scripting.

But yeah, banning accounts in this case won’t really help you at the end of the day. They can still get the IP right away. Personally speaking, I really doubt this is what is going on at the end of the day. It’s just not widespread enough, and given Roblox has been up for so many years, I would be almost positive in saying they have taken steps to prevent against this.

Again, if this is truly happening from DDOS attacks, there’s nothing you can do yourself. Reach out in #platform-feedback or Developer Relations. Best of luck.

Did you even watch the baseplate video??? But yeah hoping this thread will just make a mod or staff look at it and make a decent reply.

Edit: It is widespread to small developers, there is a thread that got linked to me in dev discussion which shows more threads about the issue: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/booting-servers-offline-with-external-ip-stresser-becoming-an-issue/1001011

I watched all the videos, I see what they are doing. I just don’t know how legit it is, especially with how sketchy these programs they are using are. They’re all doing the same thing, they just go about it differently. They’re getting the server’s IP and port through either logs on their file system or through programs like Wireshark. They are taking the information and adding it to sketchy programs which are supposedly botnet controllers.

Again, you won’t find much help in this category though, this is meant for things related to scripting. What you have been describing is an engine problem, not a scripting problem. Add this to engine bugs.

Support isn’t the best unfortunately. Maybe try reaching someone higher (ie. contacting devrel)?

Do you mind letting me know how to?

This is illegal and he/she can be taken to jail.

Not the best at utilizing the forums unfortunately but I believe there’s an account you can message to get to them directly?
