Another DDoS attack?

trying without wifi so from verizon to at&t

Man I'm not gonna say much here, but there's a very simple thing that's not setup right on the server and you can pwn it with ease. It's one of the basics that I make sure to take care of before throwing a server in production. I know they pay out for premium DDOS protection, but you should also cover the basics.

DDoS confirmed

When I click to star posts in other threads it doesn't work.

a reply to: [post=20879109]reldra[/post) no change. just as slow as comp and verizon wifi on phone and at &t on phone

How does that confirm it for ATS? That map is always showing attacks globally.

There were two dots on Phoenix. Now they're gone.

Now they're back. New attacks.

Having same issues. CIA is extracting user data from the last month so it takes up a bit of bandwidth. I'm sure they'll be finished soon.

Yeah, large data pulls inhale bandwidth..but this has been happening on and off for several days on my system.

same here.

Same here, don't think It's ATS per se, a traffic bottleneck? that's what the spookys do...
In edit, look at the continuous repetitive posting times.

Been very slow all day...continuing.

but our donations have gone toward all of this protection has it not ?

Eh, I set the filter to HTTP, not sure if they have other services running on open ports, but I saw nothing for Phoenix with a couple minutes of watch.

It's unlikely that seeing a hit on a particular city will guarantee a hit to a specific datacenter or rack, as there are many IP carriers in each geographical area. I don't think this map actually tracks all traffic through the internet in real time, rather takes a gist of what's going on around major hubs.

Are you insinuating something?There have been requests for donations for DDos attacks and a generaal donation button. So, I would not imagine ALL went to the one thing.

a reply to: scubagravy

Security is an ideal, not a reality. I have no doubt donations have been spent towards giving ATS better protection from DDOS, but all of this protection comes in levels and has limitations. You can have protection for layer 4 attacks and not layers 7, or have protection for both but up to a given amount of bandwidth/packets per second. It gets costly. If you know what you're doing, you can pwn enough bots/vps coming from different IP and it can be difficult to filter this traffic effectively while still allowing clean traffic in. A good DDOS protection package will often have a last-resort mechanism like what cloud-flare does, where you have to wait for the network to verify your IP is not hammering the server, and not on a blacklist. It doesn't appear their protection covers this.

What I was talking about earlier, is a hell of a lot more simple than any of this, but I don't know how long you could do it before being dropped. Didn't care to find out.

Oh hell yeah, it's slooooooooooow!

I thought I was gonna get a ban notice when it finally opened up.
