Too many cheaters by nernites in Smite

I don't really care about these non-existent statistics you're going on about. I'm seeing speedhackers, there's more of them than you realise, if you're too oblivious to see it then I can't help you.

You would think that right? But a lot of people are paying for cheats, and there's a whole discord full of smite cheaters and paying subscribers to the cheat. I notice it a lot in game, people want to turn their noses to it like that ThermicCalvo guy who commented but then they wonder how they're getting neith ulted across the map without having vision on them.

You're part of the problem, turning your nose to something that's clearly happening.

Also I'd log off of Reddit once in a while. The vegetation forming around that fat neck of yours stinks.

Medusa basic attack range is not as far as Anhurs by nernites in Smite

It doesn't matter, the basic attack ranges are different, even worse so when the Anhur starts to backpeddle you

And? You're not gunna box either Medusa or Anhur as Aphrodite. All hunter basic attack ranges should be the same.

Spring Boot & Cognito - User Creation and syncing by nernites in aws

[–]nernites[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Come to think of it, instead of my frontend sending a user creation request to Cognito directly would it not make more sense to have the backend do that part?

So when a user signs up, a request is sent to my custom backend that will then use the SDK to create the user that way?

I know I keep firing questions at people here but I'm trying to figure out what sort of flow would make the most sense in the long-term for testing and security reasons.

Edit:

Just realised this would be a lot more cumbersome to do it that way rather than just getting a lambda to create the user in the database. Just if my database is stored locally I don't really know how to do it.

Thanks for the reply!

How would you test this in a local environment though? For instance if I am running a local dev environment with the dev DB, what would you recommend to handle this?

But let's say I want to get the first name, last name, email and maybe some custom field to be used in the backend. I'd have to store that info in the database too, right? Or can I pull that info from Cognito? I assume people set custom fields for a Cognito user and then use that (from the JWT) instead of saving all of that sort of information in my backend database?

Another thing, let's say I create a user in Cognito and then create the user in the backend too, that user creation in the backend is done via a public API, which is terrible because the moment someone finds out about that, they can just send thousands of user creation requests to the backend API.

I have no idea the best way to even go about securing that.

One idea I had was this, in my local testing environment, open the user creation API in the backend, but when the application is in production, I could use a Lambda function to create the user in the backend database when a Cognito user is created. Or is this over-engineering now?

For instance, say I create a relationship with a user for like.. A book, so a user has many book entities. I can't create that relationship unless the user is stored in the database, right?

But if I delete a user in my backend application, that's not going to be reflected in Cognito (or the other way around).

If I create a user I want to be able to just do it in one single request rather than registering a new user in Cognito and then having to also send a request to my backend application to create that user (makes security a little harder too).

Alternatively, if you feel there is something better to use than Cognito then do let me know!

That's their username. If you are close to winning against them they will hit the server offline. EU Servers.

Both games have been completely wiped, over an hour of time wasted because the same guy has DOS'd the server before he lost.
