"Banning IPs" does nothing. It just means they can't connect to the server. They can still send massive amounts of requests and our server has to analyze them.

I think the only reason he is denying access from non-Brazil IPs is to obscure their site and community. I don't think he wants anyone to know what's going on with them. It is not a DDoS protection.

Also, my guess is that he is in control of a sizable botnet that he most likely purchased from someone. While it is possible they are using their MC clients to gain zombie computers, it would be hard to get enough to do this much damage.

BTW, just saw a post where @Kainzo blacklisted all brazillian ip's and thus successful in thwarting current attacks. Proves my theory is most likely correct, however I dont expect it to work for that long :S.
