Potential DoS Attack Vector

[Factor8™]

Each time you hit the buy button in the lottery, it queries the database and the server itself.

Get an autoclicker to hit this button enough times, and you could potentially DoS the site.

Apparently its not an issue.
But I see where your coming from.

Who told you it wasn't an issue?

Pirata.
He sais the site should beable to handle it.

I think because it only handles queries one by one, the chances of one person making the site crash is unlikely. If there is a delay in one of the queries then the page doesnt load meaning another query cant be run until it does load.

Get more than one person to use an autoclicker and it becomes a DDoS. That's why you can use an autoclicker to buy large amounts of tickets at one time. There should be a 5-10 sec delay on requests.

Yer but i dont think were gonna get an issue with alot of people buying tickets at exactly the same time.
Pirata is working on multiple ticket purchase so it will all be sorted anyways.
