I never thought it would receive this much publicity, ofcourse i didn’t and would never release any confidential information about anyone...someone posted a story about me, and said some things that were untrue. sorry to everyone, but like I said the story was for reading purposes only, none of it actually happened, it’s a shame that this was blown way out of proportion. To recap on the situation...there IS NO KID, NO ANGRY FATHER, therefore it makes it impossible for me to concact someone who doesnt exist...it was made purely for h2f community to laugh at, it was merely a story, NOTHING MORE. Therefore I did nothing wrong, all there is to this situation is a lonely single middle aged man who has nothing better going on in his life than to post an article but some random dude who posted a story on a video game forum ..like I said it was meant only for the purpose of a good story nothing more, I really didnt think people were gonna believe it either, and before you know it..this happens..anyways once again I apoligize H3F community, this is prob the last thing you will read coming from me <3

**(UPDATED WITH PICTURES)**


Anyone who hates packet flooders will enjoy this thread, and any of you who PACKET FLOOD (ip flood) be aware......

as many of you know, i work for Comcast as a tier 2.5 support agent, which essentially means im on of the top 1% elitest agents..I fix anything other agents cant...

I was playing halo 2 the other day (this also applies to halo 3 btw) went into matchmaking with somefriends and pulled host, not 2 minutes after the game started i went into blue screen..immediately opened up CAIN AND ABLE, which is a program that monitors packet transfer, i was getting pinged numerous amounts of packets..essentially flooding MY ip address causing me to lag out...i proceeded to block all of the ips so that my connection could recover itself...i waited till the game was done and sent a friend request to all the people in the other party, i joined their party and proceeded to tell all of them that what they were doing is EXTREMELY ILLEGAL, when one of the kids got a bright idea and decided to respond and said (&quot;suck my balls f.g you aint gonna do sh.t&quot this kid wasnt very bright because it all only took me 15 seconds to figure out he had comcast..(((theres a trick to find out what exacly someones ip is without even being in their party, unfortunately i will not disclose this))) unlucky for him i had work in 20 minutes...this is where the fun begins......i proceeded to input his ip address into a pogram we have called SERVICE VISIBILITY PORTAL..SVP for short and it brought up his account, address phone number, daddy's credit card info..the whole nine yards...well, i decided that since this kid was indeed involved in illegal activity i'd give his daddy a call..I proceeded to tell his father his son was involved in illegal activities over the internet and punishment could be imprisonment and a monitary fine...and the immediate penalty was that i was going to have to disable his internet for 1 week..which is actually defined in our terms of use policy under &quot;ABUSE&quot;.well the father was furious, not at me however he assured me he would take care of the problem... the father began to yell at his son, i then heard a loud smack, and then sobbing, and then cracking noise as if something was breaking..it then occured to me that the father had just beat the sh.t out of his kid, and the cracking noise was the sound of a hammer on an xbox , i decided that being the self indulgent bastard i am, i wanted more...i asked to speak to the son, and only then would i not temp cancel their service...so the father put the son on the phone, still sobbing i might add..and i said to him..&quot;do you know who this is??&quot; he answered &quot;no&quot;..i said &quot;remember that guy u cheated some 20-30 minutes ago and i said u would pay??, well guess what son...u just did &quot;

.

i basically added these to pics for the non believers...and YES I can powercycle &quot;shut off your modem&quot; and lag you out of matchmaking aswell...all i have to do is go on bungie to see if you are playing or not..just to make you lose your lvl you you cheating f.g


let this be a lesson to any of you f.gs out there that packet flood..because it's not just cheating...it's illegal...let this stupid little boy be a lesson to u all, dont flood my ip, or anyone elses...because if you plan on doing so i will cancel your service and you WILL have to find an new isp which can mean up to 500$ in installation charges, and for many of you comcast is the ONLY isp in your area...so let me rephrase this..IS IT WORTH IT????
Even if it is illegal you are not allowed to take matters into your own hands and shut modems of your customers off if you suspect they are doing something illegal.
If it is obvious that they are though there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and you should shut off their modem. But then you should report it to someone in a position higher than you and if it occurs again then you would want to get the government involved.
Also there are many ways to view IP without being in the party. For example if you view the party details of someone their IP shows up. Basically because you are sending a request to them and they are sending something back to you (information of their party) which leads to their IP being involved.
That's great that you work in Comcast but you guys need to stop getting socialed so easily. Maybe you should go downstairs and pick up the phones instead because the people in lower positions than you hand out private information like it is free candy. The people that packet flood to win a game are not internet gangsters. Maybe internet idiots since they don't know how much trouble they can get into. They probably don't even use the bot nets through VPNs or through someone else's computer. DDoS can be blocked extremely easily.
I'd recommended software firewalls such as Outpost Pro, Comodo Firewall Pro, Sygate, and even Fort Knox firewall by Netgate. Yes you are right it isn't worth it and the actions you carried out were necessary. Have a good day.

TeV EARNHARDT 7 bumped it a page before. Probably was just looking to get posts. I can tell because of his extremely helpful post : &quot;Wow packet flood... >.> The last post was 04-09-2008 then TeV posted 6 hours ago. The quote you posted wasn't a bump since it was around a closer time frame.

I know some people deserve it, but wow. Nonetheless though that kid got sh.tted on lol.


CAMOOOOOOOO
