|  Todays DDOS (site down)
So we have a pesky DDOS and it is still on the curve upwards, over 1000 IPs so far and any which of them will attempt to hammer or occupy request slots.
Sad and annoying but thems the breaks on the internetz
It started at 4am eastern and got worse as time wore on.
I've mitigated it enough to serve pages (the site-is-down message) but the front-end is currently too slow dealing with the dregs to handle real pages.. hence the need to bring up the site on another IP address if only for members. | |

| Site is responding pretty well for me here. Like someone else said, I load up CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and BBR in no particular order every AM when I get to work for 5-10 mins just to check the headlines. Bummed when I saw the message here.
Went on to read about some 21 year old woman suing AA for an issue on her plane...
Glad the site is back!

1 edit | Who would have the motivation (and the means, apparently)
to DDoS BBR?
Adware purveyors, VXers, criminal scam gangs, the RBN
(Russian Business Network)?
Any and perhaps even all of the above.
As has happened in the past with security & anti-spam/scam
sites, BBR may have been targeted by one of these groups
of criminals who don't like their operations being outed.

| Re: justin thanks, but don't worry about it. I actually didn't expect individual IPs to be shut off (although I should have thought about it harder, the list wasn't 100% clean) my intent was for someone to id and possible kick over the command/control machine which normally requires snooping the traffic to a zombie to see where it is getting instructions from.
taking out individual hosts is kind of a losing proposition - labor intensive, and the hosts are easily replaced by others. The vast majority of these IPs were overseas anyway.
they've fallen silent now anyway so as far as the site goes it is over with.. | |

If it really were 50% packet loss, you would either not be able to access the site, or it would be extremely slow and nearly impossible to access. It's likely just a priority issue. Since one of the last attacks, it has been mentioned that you can no longer ping BBR with accurate results as it doesn't always respond to the ICMP requests. | |

| I always thought you can turn the tables on these guys.
A couple of times I ran a small limited FTP for a few forum
friends. To pass about a couple of large files. I only
limited to 2 open connections and not anon. Of course some
jerks, would not follow the 2 rules.
Since this was a while back. And they all were running
windoze boxes. Simple ping-of-death was possible, to knock
off the offender.
I know, you will not get the botmaster. But maybe a few
slaves would wonder why they froze and fix there damn systems.
Maybe I am being to simplistic and assuming some intelligence
of the end-parties. | |

The fact that their IP is pwned is proof of their limited or non-existent intelligence.
And, your "forum friends" with the learning disability are further proof of limited intelligence.
I too tried running an ftp server, but nobody followed "the rules". I guess my friends are even dumber than yours.
I like the idea of ddos-ing the botnets, though. I wish there was an automatic way to do that...
