British media reported December 10 that a 17-year-old teenager in Manchester was addicted to online games, in order to get high score in the game, to attack the server, "expel" other players. Recently, he was arrested by the police and controlled at home. The teenager was suspected to have launched a denial-of-service attack on the network game called "Call of deriving" server this September, and after the game was alerted, cyber police traced the hacker's IP address to the Manchester area. The details of the case are still unclear, but the teenager is believed to be trying to improve his game points and to drive other specific players away by hacking technology. The hacker tool he uses is called the Yi Long Launcher (phenom Booter), which can attack a specific IP address, loading a lot of junk information into the victim's computer to occupy all the resources of the computer system so that it cannot access the network properly. With this tool, the teenager in Manchester was able to kick other players out of the game and even make the game server work. Of course, this power of his is not free, Yi-long starter per month, the user fee is about 20 dollars. And he is now likely to pay more for it because he faces charges of violating computer-use regulations. Games have been a long-standing offense or misuse of computer games, but they usually only get a number of games, and for the teen hacker, the police knock at home at 6 in the morning, perhaps not as he had expected.
