2021 DDoS Issue

[Null]

Yes hello we're being ddosed and it sucks because I can keep the forum up but not the sister services unless I figure out what to do about this homosexuality. This post will be technical (to the best of my ability, I am a retard) so if you don't care you don't have to read this (but it's going to be expensive so pls gib crypto).



The attack looks like this. When this is happening, the switch/router (CCR1016-12G) CPUs slam to 100%. Routing stops and management becomes hard to deal with. I'm trying to look into a way to deal with this but I'm having difficulties. I believe it's a TCP/SYN flood that works not through bandwidth saturation but by trolling the device.

We need to upgrade our line to a 10Gbps anyways. I'm putting in an order for a second 1Gbps line but that's not what I want long term. The CCR1016 does not have 10Gbps ports.

So I'm looking for is a 10Gbps solution. I am told that at 10Gbps I will need a switch and a router. Suggest idiot-proof hardware.
I'm also looking for advice on how to shape traffic so that I can always access the router.

A 10Gbps line is pretty fucking expensive ($750/mo god damn). I'm willing to splash out of the silver fund if it's going to work long term but this is the last thing I can really afford before there's problems.

The upside is, once we have 10Gbps and the new device (FINALLY coming in this week) we can set up a PeerTube instance and do video hosting. Exciting times.

Transexuality and it's consequences have been a disaster for the internet race.

I'll give you all my shitcoins from brave later jersh, it's not like I was using them for anything else

 

[Moral Decay]

I only have a like 20 cents in BAT, but I'll thrown 'em your way. Thanks for dealing with this shit, Josh

e: lol i'm too poor. I'll contribute Soon I'm retarded, take my 15 cents

 

[Resident Evil]

The DDoSers are ugly, fat, and I personally would not have intercourse with them.

 

[Hackallier]

Keep up the fight. The possible PeerTube instance would be lit.

You'd think that these DDOS morons would figure out that every time they do this we get better stuff and more abilities to have fun that they'll be mad about.

 

[DogZero]

I guess it was pretty stupid of me to try to make an account on the kiwi fediverse right when this was going on. Still waiting for my email. No worries, I know this whole shitshow is effecting everything.
Video hosting sounds like it could be really cool. I wonder if you would have any interest in taking up the mantle of liveleak, or maybe that would be too controversial.

They must be spending all their HRT money on the DDOS. And then they'll beg for donations as usual (and get doxxed because they give their PayPal link with full name)

We are very adaptable to autism

 

[Smug Cat]

What's your budget for networking equipment?

Ironic since GDQ starts on 4th of July. I can totally see them using this event as an excuse for pity bucks.

 

[Hitman One]

Imagine being so seething about a bunch of autistic retards on the Internet a laughing at you that you, unironically, spend hundreds (thousands?) of dollars and commit multiple crimes hiring some subhuman Russian, Chinese or North Korean script kiddie to DDOS an innocent collective of ground-nesting bird and hairy fruit enthusiasts.

Daily reminder that no matter how much money you send to Vlad, Kim or Xi, YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER BE A WOMAN.

 

[HackerX]

Your shit is obviously different from a normal environment, but who is upstream of your router? Is there a firewall or provider before the router that is able to drop packets so the hit isn't affecting the router's resources?

 

[Gone Ham]

Wack the servers with a hammer. It’ll work. Trust me.

Give me some options. I am willing to spend piggybank money.

 

[Czechem Republic]

What are the chances those that paid for the botnet ever get a knock on the door?

 

[Coelacanth]

Lol wasn't using my BAT tokens anyway and this place is cool so take my virtual shekels.
