When will be real flood protection?

Asked by BlackSonar

In artificial flood situation:

"Chatting Too Fast. Minimum chat interval 1000 .You made 250." ... etc.

Would be more effective instead of cautionary messages the kick...

This is just some preliminary flood precautions. The antiflood feature will advance with time. Currently there aren't too much flooder programs so don't need to worry too much....

According to me worthy to repair a possible vulnerability first, than afterwards. I accept your answer although I do not take one with him totally.

There is better flood protection then chat interval

the flood protection can be more analytical then its successors

it can be integrated into the blacklist currently under discussion there proxy blocking can be implemented if Pietry uses the bluetack lists

Yes Toast, but the problem the unlimited amount of warning messages, because the hub the it loses a bandwidth on the sending of a warning message. Theoretical the uploading velocity in a big measure can be tied up.

Flood message <<< Warning message = wasted upload bandwidth

Example:

Flood intensity: 10 message / sec / 1 character - 10Bps
Warning intensity: 10 warning / sec / 61 character - 610Bps

610Bps wasted with 10Bps...

Yes, this is not normal flood, this is reflection flood (D)DoS vulnerability :)
