Hopefully. At the very least, we're trying to report users stupid enough to use their own IP to their local ISP.

Wow some people at DDOS must be stupid to do that. I wonder why they would do this to sites in the first place.

DDoS is not a site or place it's something done very simply with a the Cmd prompt and other things..

Just a small update...

The suspected organizer of all this has slipped up and gotten caught by the new 'forum firewall'. His activities have been reported to his ISP.

Also, there may have been some innocent casualties in all this --- that is why the 403 message is up above.

If you know someone who can't access the site because of a 403 error, get them to talk to me (or Miacis) and ask for them to be removed from the htaccess ban list.

At least some good news, hopefully this means it will be stopped soon.

And another thing, you ok Picano? Trying to stop them and all.

Good job Picano. Good job. =)

SmashHackers will be one of those people. He had no knowledge of the code's function when he used it.

What code exactly? With access to it I could more effectively stop that specific attack.

Also... there are actually two current variations of attack. One which which is probably what you mentioned, the type that people can be tricked in to. The other is probably more obvious to the user.

EDIT: Or 3 I suppose. One which is just command line ping.

Well. Smash Hackers gave it to me, not to use it though. I'll be right back.


*Goes to grab it.*

Here it is.

That's what SmashHackers was given.

[ピカノ]

Ah. Well, luckily that's low level.

The two other attacks are (without giving away too much detail)
-Accessing 15-21 specific pages at once
-Using an eBay reloader

Both of which should be caught by the current system. (Though, as it is still built into the forum... it might lag a bit --- but it should prevent a continued pounding)

Anything to make your job easier, if at all.
