DDoS Update

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Informative stuff. I still don't get who would want to crash this site.

I'm getting server errors, is it my shitty internet, a DDoS, or the forums being overloaded due to Chris' arrest?
 
I'm curious as to who would be putting this much effort into DDoSing the farm. I'd think your average ween would give up once he saw that it was costing hundreds of dollars to do this.
 
I got caught in a DDoS attack that lasted 3 days, p much around the clock. It could be worse. But you're better protected at this point.
I'm surprised you're baffled that there are ppl who want to take you down. There are ppl who want you dead.
See this dog?
<---- that one.

That's Null's guard dog.

As you can see, we're an institution you can trust. We take security very seriously. :semperfidelis:

Most of the people we mock have :tugboat: they don't give a shit about wasting other peoples money on pointless crap.
 
Another. I think this was kiwifarms.net being targeted, but it's hard to tell.

Edit: I'm full of shit. We didn't get a guest spike so this was the lolcow.wiki
 
I reviewed my logs and the IPs are coming from Venezuela and China, which confirms that this is probably a real paid-for DDoS coming from many infected computers in poorer countries. They still primarily use vulnerable issues of Windows XP Service Pack 0 because of how abundant cracked copies of the software are.

I blame tjc.
Most definitely.
