2021 DDoS Issue

Are the DDOS attacks the reason I can't create threads in most places or have I done the unthinkable sin of just not being cool enough for the autist zone?

If you're referring to not being able to make threads in all the lolcow-related boards, that's because lolcow threads start in prospering grounds, so there's no "new thread" button there.

Guys, you do not need to spend 25k on a Fortigate or 90k paying the Cisco toll to get into a decent 10GbE router…. a Fortigate 500E is 10G capable, and costs about 5-7k. The 100F is even cheaper, but it has a lot less memory and I wouldn’t be comfortable recommending to handle 10GbE of DoS protection against some cashed up spergs who either know how to use LOIC, or just pay someone to know what that acronym is. 1100E is way overkill and Josh does not want a 2RU router using up his colo bux.

Josh does not need a UTM/IPS subscription. DoS protection, advanced routing, session-based NGFW, all comes with the firmware, no license required. Also, IPS only really protects against CVEs, it won’t protect you against bad website design.

That 500e is exactly what I was trying to find. Fortinet is dosghit when it comes to keeping their product catalog in one place.

Oh thanks- I could have sworn I'd made a thread directly on a board once but that may have changed. Cheers!

I'd take a look at Ubiquiti's UniFi switches and gateways.
Top dollar features for rock bottom prices. It's all software now either way.
Don't pay the retarded CISCO tax unless you're looking for a support license.
Next best thing is used Juniper hardware.
Then slap a 1U used server Xeon from the last decade as a firewall with a PCIe 10gbe port card.
pfSense or OPNense will let you traffic shape to your heart's content on there

Listening to fucking cert whore network sysadmins that just plug wires together is only worth it unless your company is pulling down millions and you're a retarded manager with green to burn.

If it was me I'd ditch it all, take old Xeon hardware with the PCIe 10gbe card and slap a virtual switch stack on it ie. OVN, but none of these dipshits look like engineers, so go with the GUI and let your hardware handle it from ubiquiti.

Kind of funny, I noticed that Google wiped all traces of KF from its auto-complete results, like in the last day or so. Searching for it now is like searching for a porn site.

I dunno, it seems to work fine for me, though I might have searched for these terms before.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Google is censoring actual search results. Just the suggested words that come up as you type in the search bar before hitting enter. By contrast, they still come up as usual in Yahoo or Bing.

Also did not mention Mikrotik which is what I use but I strip a em for my custom OpenWRT.
They make some solid shit as well for their low pricepoint, but Ubiquiti has em beat on management software imho.

Do we have any intel on the botnet(s) that are involved in this? How many source IPs are we dealing with, for example?
I think most botnets are based off malware compromised machines, and I'm sure the sending ISPs would be glad to know of the compromise, if it's at all possible with the number of source addresses involved.

If you read the entire thread Null said specifically he is done with Mikrotik as he hates the management interface.

Also, fuck ubiquiti as their shit is garbage. They are netgear with a prettier logo. You might as well buy used/refurb'd Cisco for their price point.

That's why I said I fucking strip em for OpenWRT.
But you crack niggers can't fucking code much less trace a network properly. Only plug wires.

CISCO iOS is a fucking shithole stack which when you don't pay for their stream of shit updates to give you sysadmins a fucking claim to a job, makes refurb less appealing without a support contract to blame have the option of blaming them.

We in the rice fields with 10GBe on Xeon routing virtualized router stack, motherfucker.

Someone suggested these
mikrotik.com

MikroTik

MikroTik is a Latvian company which was founded in 1996 to develop routers and wireless ISP systems. MikroTik now provides hardware and software for Internet connectivity in most of the countries around the world.
mikrotik.com mikrotik.com
www.arista.com

7150 Series

Arista 7150 Series Software Defined Networking Switch is the leading ultra-low latency 1RU network platform for High Frequency Trading Markets and virtualized data centers
www.arista.com www.arista.com

Accepting competing suggestions. I'd like to keep it in a budget range.

Someone also said they have a $1000 credit with Dell but they don't really do networking. Is there a management tool, like a rackmount KVM or something, from Dell worth getting?
