holy shit you /b/tards really think 4chan is super powerful, don't you?

the truth is that moot is 10k in the hole from running this hole (har har) and isn't about to spend the money to put it on a CDN or some other anycast-type solution. it's one box and all you really need are a few dozen/hundred connections with fat pipes, or a decent botnet and voila, no moar /b/

the only reason /gif/ is online is because it's on another server and they probably don't have the zombies (yet) to attack it simultaneously

ddos is easy mode script kiddie bullshit yet expensive to protect against, so 4chans will always get pwnt by it until moot somehow makes some money off the site

8chars...

CO$ bought ddos protection (from prolexic i think?) in order to reinstate service.

I'm sure 4chan is a beefy box, probably a cluster of boxes behind a CSS or F4 or something, but it's not invincible by any means, and there's always a weakest link. You'd be surprised how easy it is to ddos something with the right toolset (qualifications: network engineer @ NASA and a DISA certified sysadmin

You need to be a network engineer at NASA in order to DDoS someone? It's not "rocket science"

TyroneGoldberg · 05-05-2009, 06:23 AM

the plot thickens...

still down, and those responsible are listed as (redacted)

is this the end of /b/ ?

AAB · 05-08-2009, 05:08 PM

That's crazy, I'm sure considering amount of traffic 4chan gets, it must be a hefty hosting fee. I'm surprised his webhost does not take appropriate measures to eliminate the attacks after such a long time.

nico-t · 05-08-2009, 05:31 PM

not sure (if you're an adult) why you care.... i never heard of 4chan since a few months and its a lame site with computer nerds, owned by a computer nerd who doesnt know how to make money from it... who gives a shit if its down

Gambrinus · 05-08-2009, 06:02 PM

Come back soon 4chan, I miss you.
