Who ran the webapp and its server? Did that person know that there was a class assignment to brute force passwords?

If so, who complained to digitalocean?

If not, your professor should be fired, because the assignment encouraged students to break the law. Forget DigitalOcean's TOS. Attacking a server without permission is a crime.

The University of Waterloo hosted the virtual server for assignment use. The webapp is made for the assignment host on that virtual uml server. That server is the server I do the brute force.

No one complained to digital ocean. The digital ocean told me that they detected the attack by their router.

I am not attack any other servers. What I attacked is the specific virtual server hosted by university of waterloo itself.
