Me - Hi, introduce yourself!
G - Hello, my name is Arivite

Me - How old? Where are you from? What do you do and for how long? How did you get into this?
G - I am 21 years old, originally from the most beautiful Russia. My main activity at the moment is most likely DDoS, I have been doing it for about two or three years. I came to this very simply, I was sitting on the xss forum and there were several people who provided similar services - I got interested and started studying.

Me - Tell me how it all works from the inside? Why are DDoS prices so expensive? And are you afraid of being punished for your activities? Not long ago, workers were arrested for DDoS activity.
G - I think there is nothing to tell here - it can all be described in three things: Servers, Proxies and Methods for different types of targets. Many have quite reasonable prices for their services, many services have different pricing methods. But if you compare services on HSS and TG, then HSS has affordable prices. Perhaps the only thing I'm afraid of is the Almighty.

If you position yourself as a "professional service", then you need high-quality services and proxies, and this is quite expensive. Therefore, many try to jack up the price due to a lack of orders.

Me - Have you tried other areas of activity? Would you like to learn something new?
G - Of course, I tried myself in many other areas and achieved heights, but this is all very important experience that goes into your background. At the moment, I would like to improve my English from B1 to C2

Me - Tell us about your experience? Do you see something more in your DDoS service? Do you manage to recoup it? How often do they order?
G - Well, I have a fairly broad background, starting from carzh and ending with brute force. I usually try to study different technical fields, I really like it. Of course, I see and have seen from the very beginning of my journey. The project pays for itself every month and brings in sufficient profit, which in theory can be enough for a joint and trouble-free life somewhere in Moscow, but for me in Kemerovo it is usually enough for all my needs. The service itself is positioned only in TG, on HSS it is a slightly different direction. Usually, ~20 attacks on various resources are ordered per month.

Me - What DDoS method do you use? There are different methods, layer 3/4, 7, etc.? Tell me how sites are usually DDoSed now?
G - Depending on the target, if the site is non-protected, then a regular flood is enough. If there is protection, for example, cloudflare, then we use browser. L4&L7 are attack levels, where l4 is an attack on the physical server, and l7 is an attack on the website. If the site is non-protected, then a regular flood is used. Otherwise, everything depends on the specific target.

Me - And what advice would you give to creators of applications and sites? Is it possible to completely protect yourself from DDoS?
G - I don’t want to advise anything. I think it’s theoretically possible to create a full-fledged “unhittbl”. The emphasis here is on finances.

Me - Aren’t you afraid of getting it back from those you DDoSed? Revenge? How much do you spend on providing your service? How long do you want to work in this field?
G - No, I'm not afraid. About $3-4k. Probably another couple of years, it's hard to say.

Me - What is the most difficult thing in your profession? What was your biggest order? What was the longest you ordered for?
G - I think that the constant updating of methods for certain targets is due to frequent cloudflare updates. The largest orders are still relevant, mostly long-term contracts. The maximum term is a month.

Me - Tell me about the most interesting order for you (you can do this without mentioning the person). What were the biggest profits in your past? Did you get a good income from brute force and other activities?
G - The most interesting order is the current one, it is a long-term contract with serious people, I will not disclose the target yet, everything will become clear soon anyway. From $150 to $30,000 for DDoS services and methods. Nothing really worked out with brute force, we worked on public .dat, pulled out a couple of kesas of green. And with other activities - history is silent, and in general bragging about money is the lot of poor faggots.

Me - Are there any partners, or solo work? Are there other projects in the dark segment? What are your plans for the next few years?
G - Yes, I have a partner, as well as "management". There are other projects too, but under a different nickname. There are many plans, the most important one is not to blush.

Me - Why aren't you on the forums? You said you had other activities there, tell us.
G - I am on the forums, other activities under different pseudonyms. Closed after the ban attack and the attack on Ozon.ru. I am grateful to the XSS admin (Tokha) and moderator Quake for the pardon and the chance to improve.

Me - What do you think about the situation with skiop? Have you had any conflicts with other specialists (from your field)? Have they tried to put a spoke in your wheel?
G - I don't think anything, I don't care, the only thing I feel sorry for is people who used the DigitalStress api for their own purposes. There were, they arise periodically, but they also end quickly. No, no one tried to put a spoke in the wheel, they only tried to make a blowjob.

Me - How do you feel about competition in the market? What are the top 3 projects, DDoS services, stressors you could mention?
G - I have no attitude towards competition, it can be easily eliminated due to the free market. Everyone sets their own price, so if I want, I will push at a low price. The quality of attacks on my service is much higher than on 90% of similar stressers and services. Who can I single out with XSS - Codex (c0d3x). I can't single out the rest. And perhaps c0d3x is the only person with xss in whom I can see healthy competition.

Me - What is your attitude towards pav? Have you ever used them? What is your attitude towards cigarettes and alcohol?
G - Directly and neutrally. No, I have never used substances, they are for the weak-willed. Neutral, sometimes I drink and smoke.

Me - Do you play sports? What do you think about it?
G - No, I don't. I am in great physical shape, but I am thinking of starting soon. I think that sport = life.

Me - How do your family, relatives treat you, what do you do? Has their attitude towards you changed?
G - I've been living alone for three years now, my family knows nothing about my income. Their attitude hasn't changed at all, I answer all questions with something like - "I'm engaged in entrepreneurship."

Me - How do you maintain your anonymity on the Internet? What do you do for this?
G - I don't want to answer, I'm not an info gypsy. Anonymity on the Internet is a subjective concept.

Me - What do you do in your free time? Do you play sports? Do you play games? Movies, books, anime, TV series?
G - I go for a walk from time to time, and also go to the gym. I don't play sports. I play games, recently deposited about $5k in skins on Steam. I watch movies and TV series, read books. I don't watch anime, never have. Apparently I'm too old.

Me - What does your ideal day look like?
G - It's hard to describe my ideal day, because it doesn't exist for various reasons. Usually, I wake up at 12 o'clock and go to breakfast. I work, take orders and communicate with clients. I'm trying to learn new technical skills. At 19-20 - I go for a walk, usually come home late. I take a shower and go to bed.

Me - Have you tried to scam, deanonize, matchmake?
G - We tried to do everything at once, alas, it didn't work.

Me - I would like to return to the technical part. And ask what the price of DDoS depends on? Our team analyzed the market and the prices vary. What DDoS methods are relevant in 2024? What difficulties can arise with a well-protected site?
G - The price depends on many factors, from the quality of the order to the professionalism of the performer. Regarding the methods, I did not quite understand the essence of the question. Various difficulties can arise, you have to look for an individual approach to the target.

Me - What do you spend your income on? Is there anything else you are interested in that you would like to start? Have you ever thought about switching to Belukha?
G - On various things, on your own expenses, on a girl. Yes, and I am slowly working in this direction. I haven’t thought about switching to white yet, it’s not true.

Me - What areas are relevant now? What would you advise studying, developing? Without banalities like programming, but something specific.
G - Idk, too many. You can achieve heights in each area, you just need to want it. I can't advise anything, the question is too difficult.

Me - What books, manuals would you recommend reading? Can you give one book on your topic of work and one that you really like?
G - I don't know, it's hard to name books, and manuals are even harder. I haven't read books that are directly related to DoS / DDoS attacks. Again, I can't single out specific books from my favorites, there are quite a lot of them. I don't like making "tops".

Me - Do you have a car? A house? Real estate? Is there something you are striving for? What is your favorite car? BMW or Mercedes?
G - None of the above. I rent an apartment, I have lived alone for about three years. I have no desire for anything, I have achieved everything. All that remains is to work. BMW, of course.

Me - How do you dress? What is your setup? What accessories do you have (PC, phone, headphones, watch, jewelry)?
G - There are a couple of branded items in the stores in the mall. Well, the setup is quite powerful on the AM4 socket with 4060TI. In general, almost the entire assembly from Aorus is assembled for overclocking, but unfortunately my friend and I never got around to it. PC - 4060ti + r7 5900X on b550 aorus elite v2 ax with 32 RAM at 3600HZ. Phone iPhone 15, there is also a MacBook Air 2024 on m3 16/512. No headphones, I sit on the speakers, no watch or jewelry - cheap show-offs that are not worth a damn. Technical knowledge is valued much more than jewelry.

Me - What do you think about today's youth (14 and up)? What advice would you give? What life experience would you like to share with our readers?
G - Zoomers, nothing can help them anymore. Nothing, they can't be helped anymore. Try to develop in different areas.

Me - Tell me what was the turning point in your life? Why did you choose the Internet to earn money? How did you start your journey?
G - There were no such moments, from the very beginning I understood that I was not going to work somewhere because it was not true. My journey began with technical forums, like Exp and HSS. The first money was from a scam in Europe.

Me - Tell me about the best advice that brought you good results? What was it connected with?
G - There is no such advice and it did not bring anything into my life. The only thing I can say on my own behalf is not to communicate with idiots, they cause too many problems.

Me - What are your plans for the next 5 years?
G - Don't blush, and if in ddos, then probably open your own stresser and position yourself as the best service.

I - How would I describe myself with 3 adjectives
G - It's difficult, I can't describe myself. Let others do it for me.

I - And a couple of last questions. Although I don't want to finish the interview, since you are a very useful person
How do you feel about TalkTheScam? And will you show your crypto wallet?
G - I feel great. Unfortunately, I will refrain, there are too many addresses, as well as ways to accept money - you will not be able to see anything special, And in general, many people have addresses on hand - you can look)
It is a pity that the XMR blockchain does not allow you to view transactions on the address or balance)

Me - And finally.
What are you leaving with? Who would you say hello to? What is your strength?
G - I am leaving with responsibility for the above words and the fact that I did not try to natively trade with my face.
I say hello, firstly, to my beloved co-owner @ddos4funclub. Secondly, to all my friends (the list is really big).

Me - Thank you very much for your time!

If you liked the interview, we are waiting for your reactions.
