These projects helped me learn programming, but I’ve outgrown them and no longer want them associated with my identity. Time to move on. --- Well, it's finally time to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while: I'm going to archive my old projects—especially the ones related to DDoS/DoS tools created for so-called "educational purposes." ## 🧠 Why This Matters You might wonder: Why archive these now? Let me explain the journey that brought me here, and why I think it’s time to move forward. --- ## 📖 The Beginning Back in the days of "fusenice" (~2020), I didn’t even own a computer. I used my phone and connected to remote desktops from Thai cloud providers like Xver and DriteStudio to experience Windows and explore programming. That’s when I discovered Python—it looked fun! I started learning but quickly lost interest. I wasn’t serious about it back then. Fast-forward to 2021: I became curious about DDoS attacks after seeing services like MCStresser. I had no clue what I was doing—my first "tool" was literally a batch file running ping in a loop. Around this time, I also moved to Vultr and Azure. Later in 2021, I got my first laptop (Core i3-330M, 4GB DDR3, 250GB HDD) for online classes. That’s when I seriously started learning to code again. I discovered C#—and for some reason, it just clicked. I also dabbled in C++ and Linux while trying to make better (but still pretty bad) attack tools. Ironically, building those tools pushed me to learn how to code. I was constantly Googling, experimenting, and debugging. --- ## 💬 About Those Tools Yes, you’ve probably seen the many DDoS/DoS tools on my GitHub. Some of you even followed me because of them. One tool that got attention was DDoSPacket, which I made before I even started middle school. Looking back—it was terrible, I agree. I could write a much better version today, but... --- ## 🧹 Time to Move On I’ve considered rewriting DDoSPacket and similar tools for years—but now, I’ve decided to archive them entirely. Here's why: - 🧨 My identity has been unfairly tied to these tools. People call me an "attacker" without any proof—even when I’ve done nothing wrong. - ❌ The "educational purpose" label doesn’t help. Many people still misuse these tools—I've even received Telegram DMs from people using them to attack PUBG servers. - 🚫 I don’t want legal or personal risks. It’s 2025, I’m in high school now, and I’ve got responsibilities, schoolwork, and teachers to deal with. I don’t want to be dragged down by an old repo. - ❤️ I’ve outgrown that phase. These days, I find real joy in learning Linux, C, and Rust. --- ## 🫂 Final Words Writing those tools taught me a lot. They helped me grow and become who I am today—a true computer enjoyer. But everything has its time—and that time is over. If you still want to mess around, you can probably find Termux scripts online. But I won’t support or help with anything related to DDoS anymore.
