UDP flooding?

so i was playing cs2 when my teammate decided to boot me from the game cuz i sucked, my game froze and i eventually disconnected so i checked to see if the cs2 servers were down but i could not reach the site, my browser told me that it could not resolve the host (the game was closed at that point). so i ping my router and suddenly it works again. i joined back and my teammate did it again, so i shut down the game and pinged google.com and left it there to ping while i joined back and the guy mumbles "wtf" under his breath and instead of booting me he vote kicks me.

chatgpt says (i know i know im sorry) that he somehow clogged my network cache or stack or something? and creating a new path fixed it?

how does this work? what did he do?

the game uses UDP and the only connection i have is to the game server and some other steam servers
maybe this? https://www.strafe.com/news/read/new-cs2...s-at-risk/

i think that he just somehow got your ip address and booted you
you got ddos'd my friend.

how is that possible when steam doesnt expose user ips?

Most likely he found a way to trace the packets or some type of exploit to get your ip!
