Thye age old question

Thye age old question...
What DOES happen if you're streaming and you accidentally show your desktop and IP adress to a couple of thousand people?
Especially is said stream is on Youtube and anyone can now see your IP adress?

I'm asking for a friend, obviously.

unless you don't open your ports like a retard, nothing

They can DDOS you, better unplug your router right now, I am 100$ serious.

Your bank account will be empty within an hour.

Nothing. You can safely post your IP anywhere. In fact I'll do that just now:

127.0.0.1

OP here. So it's DDOS I should be worried about, as expected.
I can use a VPN though, can I not?

Mine's 192.168.2.3

if a technically-inclined person with autism wants to fuck with you they could start scanning your network for open ports and maybe find some kind of vulnerability

But in all likelihood nothing will happen. You'd really have to annoy some autismo.

>implying there were more than 3 people watching your shit stream

Get over yourself, fuck stain.

For the record, this is all thanks to anonymox, which I'm using to get around US-only services like online radio.
Pic related.
My IP being up there like juicy bait for all the world to see worried me a bit. I'll look into getting it to maybe not display it like that.

user, what model is your router/modem?

according to the scan in
You're fucked. Throw away all your shit, you're compromised dumbfuck

>he hasn't rebooted since the Linux RCE vulnerability was disclosed
RIP in Pompey OP

Holy shit op your a retard

Uptime guess: 35 days

50 boxes of pizza at your doorstep

What kind of hacking shit is this? How did you get my ip-address? Don't hack me, please

oh yeah? well what's your router password?
mine is hunter2

Too late. I'm accessing your mainframe right now.

My IP is 69.91.143.172, come at you fucking nerds.

if your ports are closed (or your ISP just tells all incoming connections to fuck off), nothing
if you have common ports open (http, ssh, that sort of thing), you risk getting DoS'd at the least
if someone really doesn't like you and you're running something with known exploits, you could just get attacked by some script kiddy -- but this is fairly unlikely (also, there's risk just being on the internet in general in that case)

>tfw your isp filters all ports and you can't download kiddy porn through perfect dark
Suffering.

Ssh into a box elsewhere and download stuff through SSH.
