[ti]SERIOUS[/ti]SEAyt, discussion. What are your thoughts

i blocked the little fuck like 20 times and sometimes he comes back like what the hell does he want from me

I know. So how is he hacking everyone's ip? I just checked my IP adress and it is exactly the same as it was before. If our IPV4 and IPV6 gets hacked, and IP Changes, with your public ID, your screwed. If he is using a ton of IP, he is most likely going to hack our IP. This is my guess, but this is going to turn into a huge argument withen the community withen next week. I think that staff are going to have to lock this forum if this gets any worse. If SeaYT hacks me, well, then our whole family is screwed. It was not me who started this, it was SEAYT!

Do you know what an IP address is? Basically what he's doing on Twitch and Discord is using a proxy or VPN, or something of that nature, to mask the location of his computer.

I know for a fact that Twitch normally has a limit on the number of accounts that you can create from a certain IP address (I think it's three per day or something like that), because they don't want someone to keep making more accounts to spam people's chat once their primary account gets banned from the stream. What SeaYT is doing is tricking the server into thinking that he's using a bunch of different computers, so that he can create unlimited accounts to spam people's chats.

I'm a mod on EricVanWilderman's Twitch stream, and we recently got 30 or 40 different accounts all spamming links to SeaYT's YouTube channel in the chat. We were able to ban all of them, but after that happened, he organized two separate raids on Eric's Discord server. I'm not sure what Discord's account limit is, if they even have one, but I really don't think anyone else is in danger of having their own IP address hacked.

I'm not sure how this affects Geometry Dash itself, because he only has one account. He certainly doesn't seem like the kind of person who would know how to hack into other people's accounts, and we haven't heard of that happening to anybody yet, so it doesn't sound like anybody is in danger of losing their account. I'm not sure how he's able to continue sending messages after being blocked, but maybe he found a way to bypass it without breaking into the account of the person who blocked them.

We'll just have to wait and see how this plays out, and hopefully it doesn't escalate to the point where drastic measures need to be taken. This could all be solved if RobTop would just ban the little bastard, but you know how he is with those things.

I don't think I explained VPNs very well. SeaYT is only using a single computer, but by using a VPN (or proxy, or something else), he can trick the server into thinking that he's using multiple different computers, when he's really only using one. If you're only using one computer, Twitch doesn't let you create more accounts because it notices that you probably got banned and you are trying to keep spamming anyway. If you use a VPN, however, Twitch doesn't recognize that you're using the same computer, and it thinks you're using a different computer each time you create an account.

But you're right about your second point, I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he's using a macro or some other type of software to keep making more accounts and spamming in the chats. If that's the case, he probably does it for Discord as well as Twitch. But he doesn't seem like a guy who would be smart enough to write his own code, he probably just downloaded it from somewhere on the Internet.

Yes, it's kind of like this: Imagine that there is an ice cream shop on the corner of the street, which allows you to sample one small ice cream cone per person. You show up and receive your free ice cream, but you can't have any more. So you could try to fool them by going home and changing into different clothes, so that you look like a different person, and you collect another ice cream cone, because the people running the ice cream shop only remembered what your clothes looked like, and they don't recognize your face. Then you go home, put on another set of clothes, and get more ice cream, and repeat this trick as many times as you want.

It's the same way with SeaYT, he's only using one computer, but he's fooling the Twitch server into thinking that he's using many. The Twitch server only checks the IP address of the computer, so if it sees that you've already created an account with that IP address, it basically thinks "Hey, you already have a Twitch account with that IP address, you need to wait before creating another one". However, with a VPN, it makes the computer look like it has a different IP address than before, so the Twitch server doesn't see that it's the same computer, and it thinks "Oh, you don't have any accounts with this IP address, go ahead and create one".

As far as software for creating several Twitch accounts very fast, I'm sure that there is some code out there that can do it. Computers are very good at repeating the same job over and over, much faster than humans can, so someone could program it to do that using a macro. A macro is, simply put, a list of several instructions that can be repeated automatically by a computer, kind of like a recipe for food. So a macro for creating Twitch accounts may look something like this:

1. Go to the Twitch home page
2. Click on "Sign Up"
3. Create a new temporary email address, and use it as the email
4. Choose a random password
5. Activate the account
6. Go to Eric's Twitch stream and spam the link to SeaYT's YouTube channel
7. Repeat steps 1-6

Obviously, this is very simplified, and each step would need to tell the computer exactly where to click, exactly what to type, and so on. But it wouldn't be hard to use if he was dedicated enough. I'm not going to post any links here, because I don't want him to see it if he encounters this thread.

I also have taken a screenshot of proof! I will share with you in a bit!
