forgive spelling. just your normal ping -t 'attack' on a game server. how many computers are we talking about to take it out? like are we talking 10? 1000? 10,000?

yeh i get that... it is a bit of a 'how long is a piece of string type argument...' i was thinking more along the lines of one of those stupid annoying virus's that spread really fast... lots of over kill i know... just thought it would be interesting just to see how many it took... is there any other ways of messing with game servers other than in game 'haxs'?

I doubt that anyone will teach you how to kill a game server for several reasons.
1) There is no sense in it
2) since when did ping -t get normal?
3) You live in Australia
Scan the ip, look what services it runs.
Find out more about that service and finally;
learn how to use the weaknesses in those system
and then do it.
And just for the record, read our forum rules and apply to them.

game server crashing....
First a reason why ping wont work. Windows sends a max packet size of 65,500 but a computer can still handle 65,535 long packets. A ping of death was a 65,536 packet...Which normally a OS would reject but send t fragmented it would create a buffer overflow.
But just to have fun its really simple math. a dedicated game server well differ in speed depending on country so i will assume USA average is 5MB Download 2MB up so lets say the game runs a average of 30Kb a sec and there is 30 users
30kb x 30 user = 900kb 4100kb left over 4100/65.5kb = 62.59 round up
So 63 computers and to tie it up you would need
5000kb / 65.5kb =76.33 round up
77 Computers to kill a 5mb bandwidth

Of course, we're all pretty sure he's trying to fuck something for no reason.
And as we are pretty sure about it i think it would count anyway..
EDIT:
This is what i have to say about Australia
