Recent downtime (server being attacked)

[Martin]

The reason for the recent downtime is that the server is being attacked by (at least we think so) hyper19s's friend. hyper19s was recently banned and want to get back at us it seems.



The attacks are in form of Denial of Service and although a firewall has been configured to stop access from the attacking IPs it's possible the server will go down again.

how lame, this is proof that this loser needed banned.

I understand your position completely, i've had this bother on an IRC network before, where attacks have taken place (retired myself from that crap though)

Thanks for letting us know, i thought I was going crazy when I saw access denied earlyier.

What a petty little bitch...

[Martin]

Yeah, no doubt about it. The IPs that attacked the server have been reported to the ISPs abuse departments.

Just a little warning: Do NOT hammer the server with requests because you will be automatically banned throughout the whole network. Gotta love the new firewall and antidos script.

That guy is a damn loser,glad to see the site back up.

the whole network or just the sites on that particular box? And isn't it funny that the same tactic to deal with floods on irc also applies to servers?, although the irc script to do it is more advanced than what you've got loaded up

Well the particular server that's being attacked, not really the whole network.

So that's the reason that some pages loaded up to a point sometimes... I told you that I'm not insane
