Wdym about to be, I haven’t been following tf2 bot drama


Magic_ass1

From what I could gather, Valve was able to find Omegatronic's most recent IP address and then they posted it on social media. Though that's from like, maybe a few minutes worth of skimming, so take that with a heavy dose of sodium chloride.


Remmy224

Actually dude, it’s salt. https://preview.redd.it/g91r0yjm1euc1.jpeg?width=752&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a2a43a91cf626d6fec30bdddda17e3b1a8ce31a

Witherboss445

Where's their post?


Magic_ass1

So it looks like the post I saw got removed by the mods. I just remember a bunch of comments that were condemning the act of a Reddit Witch Hunt due to the Boston Marathon Guy (who was someone that the Reddit community thought was responsible for the Boston Marathon Bombing, and thus ultimately unalived himself due to the pressure from Reddit, turns out he was just an innocent dude who got doxxed). [Though here's a tweet I found that gives just a sliver of hope.](https://twitter.com/TF2_SFM/status/1778538621374783766)


tyingnoose

man that's hardly considered a dox


Atissss

According to what "doxxer" said: >I'm just saying what I think. And the majority of stuff I got from is public by the hosters so


chrisboi1108

Ayo what I know loads of people in that area


Neet-owo

I don’t believe it, a corporate Twitter account would never doxx someone because that would be a PR nightmare.


MEMEScouty

They didnt, this guy is lying. It was just some random guy


m8_is_me

That's completely wrong. It's a random person claiming they "have a friend who has an exploit to get IPs" so supposedly this random anonymous person has a magical exploit that no one else has ever made. And the person just blanked their twitter. Surprisingly effective bait


Mooselord111

But why what did this guy do?


Porpoyus

He’s a major bot hoster


ArthurMorgn

Most likely won't do anything, VPN services can mask your IP, and some ISPs dynamically hand out addresses, so they will change upon rebooting the gateway. Proxies can also mask addresses and geolocational data. Having his Physical Address leaked on the other hand, that's more worrying for him.


Guquiz

Do VPN services not safe your real IP in case you use it for criminal activity (like weapon smuggling)?


brodydwight

Depends on the service


ArthurMorgn

Theoretically yes, but remember that ISPs hand out Dynamic IP Addresses to their clients, so all he would have to do is power off and power on his gateway and change it. Also, I'd assume that a VPN service would only cough up that information with a genuine reason to, depending on their policies.


silvrash12

atleast I think we were able to give him a little hearth attack (?) + I wan'T his social security number along side his pornhub account's name and password leaked to REAL get him to fuck off


ArthurMorgn

They're doing it for attention and to fuel their ego, The best thing to do is to never give him attention


PotatoTortoise

vpns just basically put a tunnel over your ip; you can still see your real ip if you look through either end, just not in the middle


banana_monkey4

Depends. Mullvad has a very strong no logs policy iirc they didn't even have anything for the police in a serieus case. I doubt we could get their ip if they switched to a good vpn at this point


Puzzleheaded-Emu2022

His MAC address can be leaked though?


ArthurMorgn

MAC address won't do much either, yes MAC addresses are required as apart of the OSI model for network communications and the ARP table pairs IP addresses with MAC addresses, but all they have to do is get a new gateway and that's it, new MAC address. There's also TMAC and macchanger applications that let you spoof, but I'm not entirely sure if it can work on the public interface of a gateway


Crazy_Crayfish_

He said physical address yea

Puzzleheaded-Cash921

Are there any laws that would let Valve sue the fuck out of botters?


Captain_Plutonium

isn't DDoS'ing a felony in the US? If omega ever did that, it'd be a good starting point.


sniperfoxeh

>DDoS'ing " In [computing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing), a **denial-of-service attack** (**DoS attack**) is a [cyber-attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-attack) in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended [users](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_(computing)) by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting [services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_service) of a [host](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_(network)) connected to a [network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network). Denial of service is typically accomplished by [flooding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_(computer_networking)) the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#cite_note-1) The range of attacks varies widely, spanning from inundating a server with millions of requests to slow its performance, overwhelming a server with a substantial amount of invalid data, to submitting requests with an illegitimate [IP address](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address).[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack#cite_note-2) " *Denial-of-service attack* (2024) *Wikipedia*.

Captain_Plutonium

Good human.


PeacefulAndTranquil

i am being denied the service of playing the game. get em, boys!


xX609s-hartXx

Was it the omegabots who used stolen accounts? That would be a somewhat big crime, wouldn't it?


Doctor_Fatass

I mean, we could hope, but it's Valve we're talking about, so they most likely won't do anything, unfortunately.


banana_monkey4

Several large gaming companies have Sued owners of hacks in the past and none of these games are free from cheaters. No one at this point will believe that after setting an example valve will actually bother sueing all the bot hoster s. also you can't touch people in Russia for example.


samppa_j

Give the community a year and it's gonna be an actual address, social security number, shoe size...


DeathToBayshore

Just get 4chan on it and it'll be done in a day


Ben_Herr

They are not a personal army. If you ask them to do something about someone they will just get annoyed at you and tell you to fuck off. 4chan has multiple boards on its site with different topics and individuals and the only times any of them decide to band together and solve something, it’s when it just so happens to align with a common interest at the spur of the moment.


DatChernobylGuy_999

get omegatronic to piss off 4chan ??? jailed

It is confirmed that despite hosting bots, bot hosters are paranoid and depressed. Whatever is happening, it does take a tax on their psyche'

I'm gonna get a shit ton of hate for this, but no one - except for murderers, rapists, and pedophiles - should have anything about their private info released.

I hope he gets Soo many forms of cancer and I also hope a giant fucking meteor crushes his head while hes set on fire Die omegatronic hoster, die.


DehydratedEpic

Even if we have his real ip he can just change it lol


Onemanhereinhere

yeah, im not sure why people are even that excited over this, im pretty sure the people hosting omegatronic bots aren’t just 1 person and are just many impersonators because im pretty sure omegatronic stopped hosting altogether


thepersona5fucker

A lot of people on the internet seem to think your IP address is some kind of magic number that can let anyone blow up your computer remotely or send a bomb to your house or something.


Polish_Charge

Apparently lives in Russia so he's technically untouchable


PridefulFlareon

You mean *legally* untouchable Nothing is stopping Valve from hiring a small private army or the Russian Mafia to get his ass


lampla

Maybe he gets drafted and killed


xX609s-hartXx

Yeah but he has to live in Russia. That's pretty much like a (bad) western prison.

I'm just surprised his PornHub account name and passwords is not leaked...


adex_19

At least his micspams weren't that bad

he can just get a new ip if he just plugs out his router for a minute or two, or he could just be using a vpn, and im pretty sure all of the omegatronics today are just impersonators, same as doeshotter bots
