An interestingly unusual web dev request

[da_ging]

right i like playing americas army as its a top game but of l8 it is being ruined by cheaters

but ive been inspired by this thread http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=29576

now initially what i want to know is if some 1 on here could make something like they have on the anti 419er site that would constantly refresh say the images from a selected cheat site thus depleting their what is more than likely limited bandwidth and rendering them offline

also if any 1 has a definitive answer on the legality ,that would be nice (im fairly sure its not technically illegal tho)

[TomWilko]

The simplest way to go about doing something like this would merely be, as the other site has shown, link some images surely from the site and then everytime someone loads ur page up it takes the other sites bandwidth.

As for legality, I'd say it is a bit iffy because you are intentionally trying to break someone elses 'property.'

Its a denial of service attack and therefore illegal, i'd suggest you decide to not do this.

/\ with TiG on this...denial of service is a big issue...not just with the web owner, but also the host.

[TomWilko]

Thats the term I was looking for

but, if its just copying a picture and people had to refresh it manually...you cant stop people refreshing a page...
