It’s like we’re the corrupted blood pandemic and we (Linux users) must be contained For The Good of The Windows Userbase. Likely because the DDoS attacks are linux-based
Can’t connect here either.

EDIT: This command fixed it for me.
sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=128

I would think if this were a botnet attack it would be mostly compromised Windows boxes not *nix based systems. (Unless its an IoT thing…)

well they did reply 27 minutes ago Sept 8th-12th 2019 - WoW connection issues / WOW51900328 - #310 by Ibaraius
Well-said but there are other tools in Kali linux among others that are built to stress servers. It may not be Windows-based botnets.

That’s a lot of words to say nothing.

Yeah, I would not be shocked if it’s Kali Linux botnets

I also wouldn’t be shocked if this takes days to get resolved. It seems like there weren’t any DDoS’ when I was getting this error. Then all of a sudden around 5:30pm est I stop getting the error. 30 minutes later the DDoS’ are back. Then the DDoS’ stop and I start getting the error again.

Same thing here. I got in briefly a few hours ago, but back to the error.

I am sorry, but this is not being performed by a Kali system. It might have originated from one as a controller… but this is a botnet attack likely of Windows/Android/Mac/IoC devices. Also, all of the tools on Kali are also readily available on any distribution.

Absolutely those tools are available on other distributions. I’m just suggesting it may not have originated from windows-based machines. It could easily originate from a host of devices. Would never implement Kali as the one and only distro to use if you want to perform black hat operations. Also, could use any version of Linux including your own homebrew as a controller. So not…sure…why…we needed to clear up Kali…

Can an admin please address this issue? At least a comment saying they are doing something about this =(

from the previous post, it comes across as if you/others are saying there a bunch of kali “bots” causing the attack instead of wording it in a way saying launched from a linux based os
Complete systemic purge of Lutris and all Libs did not solve the problem post re-install.
Manjaro 4.19 w/AUR packages.

Can’t confirm a solution, but my attempted reinstall did through an error this time. My “esync” wasn’t set… What this means is beyond my own knowledge. However, the error had a simple guide and easy guide to setting it. From what I gleamed from this guide it appears that the esync limits the number of files your computer can have open at any given time. My defaulted to 4096… the guide suggested two hundred thousand and something (it said that was the new standard default for systemd, or something to that effect)… if you don’t hear back from me soon, you can assume that following this guide bricked my system, lol.

Worked until today. Now I can’t connect to any server after logging in with no issues. “Netstat” run while trying to connect to the realm shows “syn_sent”, and it gets left hanging…Firewall behavior.
I would find it to be a real shame if Blizzard decides they don’t want our money…

Sorry for confusion everyone, I was just mentioning in previous post that the software available to stress test servers is included in Kali linux among others and would not be surprised if it originated from a linux-based system. For those that were confused please refer to my previous statement.
Also, Malrun thank you for update on purging and reinstall - that’s helpful to know saves me from doing it. Also, Shift, I hope your system isn’t bricked bud
