| Re: Go Daddy outage far reaching said by breese:Seems this attact reaches more than just Go Daddy housed accounts. I just had to Black Hole some 30 Class C IP's because of an attact on my web server. Go Daddy is where I purchesed my Domains. You might have the first clue I've seen to how this is being done.
Can you say anything about what kind of traffic it was?

| From my firewall logs, it looks like a ton of IP's all requesting large images and video's. While they do not exist on my servers, the amount of traffic requesting them is / was by the hundreds per second...
Took me 2hrs to filter out all the class C subnets.
Now the question becomes, if this was an attact on Go Daddy, why did it get filtered over to Off-Site web sites?
Dont care about the DNS side.. I use multiple DNS servers from other companies.... | |

| said by breese:Took me 2hrs to filter out all the class C subnets. Tiny nit to pick... I'm guessing you mean thirty /24's. Technically they are not class C unless the first octet is in the range 192 to 223 (192.x.x.x to 223.x.x.x) with a /24 subnet mask. I know what you mean and the spirit of your post is not lost, but the net engineer in me cringes when I see CIDR /24 outside the traditional class C space being called a "class C".
said by breese: Now the question becomes, if this was an attact on Go Daddy, why did it get filtered over to Off-Site web sites? It was perhaps a coincidence. We handle a LOT of domains registered at GoDaddy, but none were affected.
Any chance your website has controversial content that would make a script kiddie (or activist) angry?

You means immature kids?
Stuff like these are half-assed actions anyhow, people these days don't truly understand the cause and effect of attacking someone bluntly without caring about the ripple effect on the world.
You might have caused tons of businesses to lose profit, which if thought selfishly by Anonymous, would complete their objective of making them abandon or blame GoDaddy for something.
A smarter method of beating someone, is simply outdoing them and pressuring people to change that way. Granted this probably won't work if society is corrupted.
(ISP in North America has generally a bad reception, but Google experimented with Fiberhood and outdid most of the bad ones and people realize that it's a good way to change things)
But malice would only attract malice in the end and this would turn into a cycle of revenge between businesses and individuals on the internet.
Maturity and ettiquettes has surely degraded in the last so years...
Funny because I'm younger than modern analysts and knows it takes much more than just DDoS attacks to cause change to occur in a society. It's either Anonymous doesn't have the guts for a more deeper complex action that creates said change, or they fear said change themselves, hence the need to hide their faces behind a mask, because they fear their own actions. Or maybe they fear each other? In any case, people are driven to action by fears, whether it's caused by another or caused by themselves.
It's fiction but, why does Superman doesn't wear a mask? I think the response to that was that hiding your identity would cause paranoia to the public/society, hence you cannot just remove that mask one day, because of the built up paranoia against you. That mask is one you wear forever. It applies to all the fictional 'superhero' characters and you can sorta see a connection on how the general public view them in sum. | |

| Re: Go Daddy outage far reaching You're probably over-thinking this. Vandals do it for amusement. The GoDaddy attacker probably did it for the thrill of bringing down a major registrar and a few million websites.... plus all the media attention. He's probably loving life right now knowing half the world is talking about him. Same reason you see kids acting out in class-- they crave the attention, even if there is a risk of punishment.
In the GoDaddy case the attention-seeking activity was illegal, hence the anonymity-- same reason criminals wear masks. | |

| | | Well... see... the problem is this: he is both right and both wrong. Remember, Anonymous is a fractured group of many splintering organizations and groups. There is no strucutre. Most of those who speak out announcing they are with anonymous due so because... well.. everyone is anonymous.

This is exactly it, though. Anyone can claim to be anonymous, ence the statement, "We Are Anonymous". So, when media outlets portray Anonymous as some organised movement acting in concert, it is entirely unrealistic and usually a complete misrepresentation of the actual facts of the matter. A more accurate report would be "an anonymous user" or "an anonymous group" carried out these actions, not some mega coalition. | |

| Re: Friends don't let friends use GoDaddy Ditto here. I just moved a friends primary domain from GoDaddy to Namecheap a few months back.
A month ago I had his other domain's MX records pointed to a domain on Namecheap so he's mostly still up and running (except for a few GoDaddy hosted subsidiary sites).
I personally don't like GoDaddy.
I don't like the endless spam from secureserver.net and I don't like their support for anti-Privacy bills in Congress (CISPA).

| fianlly... Finally managed to get nameservers changed via my 3G connection, which could log right into their site...
Painfully slow to do, and it kept giving errors, but finally got nameservers set to another service which we've been testing anyway. DNS appears stable there, though the internet at large will take some time to adjust.
Still not perfect, as such changes take awhile, but it's better than being as hosed as before.
Interesting side story - tested Google DNS from a remote machine, and it can't see changes yet. OpenDNS sees the change more quickly it seems... win...
In any case, I think we'll be moving at least a few domains (notably, the main site).
Moved from NetworkSolutions some years ago due to price, and also because of their parking shenanigans.
Anyone have any suggestions for a registrar / DNS host that is on par with NetworkSolutions? ...I'm all ears at this point... not really a fan of either GoDaddy or NetworkSolutions right now. | |

Billings, MT | softlayer.com? I've had these guys as my domain for 8 years. It's getting kinda hard since they tend to change names every 2.
They were ev1servers when I first signed up. Then they were "theplanet", "Hover", and now "Softlayer". Still solid and reliable.
I utilize zoneedit.com for my Dynamic DNS, though. I don't have a static IP and this makes it much easier.

| Not caused by DDOS Attack Anonymous gets caught twice in one week lying. First lying about the UDID's from an FBI laptop and now this DDOS attack.
""It was not a 'hack' and it was not a denial of service attack (DDoS)," GoDaddy Interim CEO Scott Wagner wrote in an e-mail. "We have determined the service outage was due to a series of internal network events that corrupted router data tables.""
