Python. Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Posting this topic in a sub-forum more worthy of it d0 made up this thing last night about backpack.tf users skyping each other I decided to make a Steam group for this thing: http://steamcommunit...roups/bptfskype because of reasons Just read the group summary and it should answer everything Mods on this site are automatically admins on the group. Regular users in our skype calls will be promoted You can also add me on Skype (procrastinator_python) and I will add you to the call Hope this doesn't count as advertising another site, since it has to do with backpack.tf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperNati0n Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 This all seems very risky and i know i wont be taking a part in it. Publicly giving out your skype username is publicly giving out your ip address. This can lead to more advanced methods of fishing, transferring viruses or even DDOSing that person you hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you're going to worry about your ip being public, you better stop playing any and all online games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you're going to worry about your ip being public, you better stop playing any and all online games. It takes one copy paste and one click to find someones ip from their skype username, it takes a hell of a lot more to get it from a gameserver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spicy Ham Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 DDOSing I'm pretty sure no-one here either has the intention of D/DoSing someone nor owning botnet, If you're THAT paranoid use a VPN And even if you get DoS'd you can just change your IP address easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicalEclipse Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 As stated earlier, why not TeamSpeak, Vent, or Mumble? My skype name is my real name, which Im not keen on others finding out, so im out. Pretty much this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm unsure how this got taken so far it's 2 groups + a steam group. But if possible, could we get along and stick to 1 group so we can have a track of which users are in the call? So we wont have any outsiders and potential ddos attempts and whatnot.

Hackers are more clever. If someone really want to know your IP, he'll find it within one minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spicy Ham Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 To anyone concerned about potential D/DoS attacks: Going on Skype puts you at no more of a risk than trading on Steam. If you call someone on Steam you can retrieve their IP via certain programs. They don't have to accept the call, you just have to call them. This means that unless you accept absolutely no invites and are in 0 groups with less than 45 people you're as liable to D/DoS attacks on Steam as you are on Skype.
