Something Devo will be pleased to hear, Bungie are closing in on those people who are up to no good doing things like bridging.

Quote:

A member of the Ars Technica forum community who happens to work at Bungie chimed in with what the message [posted in the most recent Bungie.net update] means saying that they're "almost done dialing in the Banhammer, and a few people who helped us test Phase One are about to help us test Phase Two." What are they looking for?

"Network attacks, by and large. Hard to prevent, easy to detect, but we've had to wait and make sure there were no game issues that could be confused for abusive behavior.

Banning a false positive is worse than missing several legitmate bridgers, DDoS'ers, and their ilk. So our process has been pretty methodical so far."

You can't run, you can't hide, and your accounts are forfeit. The reckoning is coming.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

To be honest I don't really understand this whole bridging thing fully, but I guess, if it applies to networking how I think, then yes, it could be used to alter everything to do with connection to the host, slowing down someone's connection, or preventing it altogether.

However, horrible lag could just be caused by a rubbish connection to the host.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
