Administrators could lose their identity *Admins 18 and up*
 

I was doing an experiment *Educational purposes only* and I found out banning a player or having any type of contact with a player could give away ur IP Address, yet if those players are smart enough to know how to do that you guys could be in danger of getting hacked, its not just admins its also normal players, i would advise finding a way to block ur IP from being sent, VNP, increase ur firewall, u dont want to be hacked, like i did, they almost got to my credit card info

NOTE:
i will not be showing anyone how to get someones IP! this was done for educational purposes only

its easy to get someones ip... every scripter could get someones ip. an ip is not something like a udid.

o noes. They got your IP! Better destroy your device!

I did some research the other day about IP being a threat if someone got ahold of it and it's really not a big deal apparently. I'm pretty sure if it was possible for someone to hack a staff knowing their IP it would have been done already.

It's insanely easy to get someone's IP. In fact a simple image could be used to grab it. Can IPs be maliciously used? Probably... but there's no point in fretting over it, because if you did you'd be paranoid over every single thing you did on the internet.

Within the Graal community it's probably way more important to emphasize the security of UDID's.

There is a easy solution when someone tries to use your ip to attack you, return the favor. As dusty said, udids are more important for security than ips.

I have made a list to get someone's IP:
*Making a PHP script that grabs the client's IP.
*Make an image with PHP that grabs the client's IP when they look at it.
*Have someone connect to a server of yours.

It is extremely easy, unless your not that tech savvy

Oh noes!!! The bad guys have our ips!!!! We gun die!!!!

the admens have my ip!1!!

Screw the bad guys having our IP, it is the stalkers you got to look out for.

OMAHJEEZUS DON LET THE INTERNET STALKERS FIND ME!!!!!!!

I'd say they only 'nearly' got your credit card info because you did something stupid like install dodgy software. Knowing a public IP isn't that special unless you already have an open, public vulnerability (e.g. trojan). In most cases, even being behind a NAT'd network is protection enough against most moron hackers.

I could easy use metalspoilt ton install my full FUD Trojan on any pc's... Antivirus are useless guys and you found someone iP, you're cool bro, everyone can do that easy.

You could spell it right and woo! Script kiddy deluxe!

Metasploit is mostly using well known/documented exploits for unpatched systems. As such, it's not that effective if you:

1. Regularily update your OS
2. Run a decent firewall (Windows Firewall is actually sufficient)
3. Don't install dodgy ****

Again, even being behind NAT can prevent Metasploit (or any exploitation tool) from even reaching your computer (unless you are port-forwarding).

I set up a reflexive ACL on my router. All inbound traffic is blocked unless it was initiated by something behind the router. I also don't install dodgy ****. Anything i'm slightly suspect on, I give it a virtual environment and monitor :)

The only "malicious" thing you could do with someone's IP is boot them offline. But unless you're willing to pay $10+, it's not going to happen.

But if I am not on Graal... I will die.

Get IP
DDOS
???
Profit

This is exactly why you use a trustable VPN and try not to give yourself away.

OR call your ISP and ask them to blackhole the route temporarily or ask them to provide a new IP (if static) or just refresh your session (if dynamic) and also ask them to investigate.

For DDoS, they can atleast record the IPs and follow up with the relevant remote ISPs who, in can turn, can advise their customers that they have a zombie machine in their midst.

Besides, good VPNs cost money.
