DDoS attacks on 21sextury servers

06-02-2007, 03:46 PM

Just got this

Dear partners,

as you probably noticed, our sites and affiliate system is hardly accessible these days as we are under continuous DDoS attacks. We solve one thing and another comes immediately. We do our best to keep the bad guys outside but it is not easy... they start new attacks on other fronts again and again.

Existing memberships and rebills are mostly working, signups are hardly working and the affiliate system is not accessible all the time and from all locations.

Once we'll be working stable again, we'll compensate every one of our affiliates for the recent days' losses.
We are sorry for all inconveniences it causes.
Thank you for your patience!

Kind regards,
21sextury Cash staff

Thank you for the info on prolexic, we saw that already, but it doesn't really help on the attacks we get. There is an another thread related to this issue. I can't post it here, as I don't have enough posts yet. So if you are interested please search 21sextury, and the thread will show up in the top3 results

change your ISP and host your servers with trusted hosting that can filter out DDoS on hardware level. you can see sig, or find something yourself.

The problem is not a ddos by itself. The problem is that they attack NATS specific codes.

Anyways about NATS, to make it clear, I didn't say and don't want to be interpreted as I said that it's the problem of the software why we are down.

It was called a NATS based attack so thats what made me wonder, not asuming anything man.

Good luck with the attack hope it gets resolved quickly!

True...

NATS should be able to profile this kind of attack since the code is on their servers.

lol your one step ahead of me i was just gonna go look in my inbox and see if i had spam from them, that usually explains it..

once you get in bed with these guys its hard to get back out of bed , especially when your holding the loot lol

anyways hopefully the problems get fixed , and hopefully people/sponsors will take this thread in mind .. if you deal with unethical people or in an unethical manner it comes back to bite you in the ass.

Now this whole thing might just be coincidence , but when a sponsor is getting ddos its usually mailers and they usually have a reason

lets hope this is an isolated problem

I call bullshit on 'prolexic can't help'. They filter application-level attacks as part of their business, otherwise they would be completely worthless. It is EXTREMELY rare to find a simple "massive" ddos attack any more, meaning 5, 10, 15gbit of inbound traffic simply meant to overwhelm equipment/routers/etc. This is fairly easily filtered by large hosts, and DDoS filtering companies. It's simply a matter of having more network and hardware capacity than the attackers.

The harder to filter stuff are HTTP based attacks that appear to be "legit" traffic hitting specifc applications. They may simply make get requests for pages that have high overhead, or actually follow a transaction model. However, companies where DDoS is their business absolutely do have means to protect against this. It's not cheap, and isn't easy, but it is possible if your downtime is worth more than the cost to stay up. Many mechanisms exist, but generally since HTTP attacks cannot be spoofed they revolve around watching all connections, when one IP is seen too much they get redirected to a capchta based system of some sort. If the attack still is working, all traffic can be redirected. Yes, this does have an effect on your traffic of course - but it's better than being 100% down. There are also multitudes of other ways.

In short, I wouldn't just lay down and give up. DDoS sucks, is expensive as hell to filter, but it is possible if given enough equipment, capacity, and knowledge. However, there may simply be a point where it's cheaper to leave sites down a for a few days or a week, than pay an easy 6 figures to filter them for that time period.

Good luck to everyone involved!

-Phil

Quality affordable hosting.

We never hired spammers. We never hired anybody with unethical manners. NEVER and WILL NEVER DO THAT.

Might it be a reason for this attack if we banned spammers from our program due to the fact that it's clearly stated in our terms, that we have ZERO TOLERANCE TOWARDS SPAM?

Anyways what I couldn't understand when I got this spam as well, that why it is not having a referral code? I mean what is the reason for anybody to send out spams - without being asked/hired/anything - for our websites, just having the pure domain in it? Can it be a part of a process to destroy our image?

That's why it's so strange. Why would anybody want to send out spam if they don't profit from it? Only reason can be to hurt somebody, right now us.

gero, seriously, I have rethought this, and if this is important enough and if you all are serious about your business....hire prolexic

they will stop everything coming to you, they will take the heat and pass of the leftover to you..it is quite cool to see how their shit work, I have a very close friend that is a pretty high level tech there

they are expensive, and it will cost you $6-10k

[17:10] guy from prolexic: we have customers that pay ~30k+ a month and when they go down, even for a minute, you best believe they scream

[16:59] guy from prolexic: he can sign up for prolexic services if he wants, but we're going to charge him 3-5k+ a month

because someone probably pasted it straight from their inbox and didn't paste the source

I get thousands of spam a day, I am doing a search in my deleted items now for something for you

We have already contacted them. Also other solution providers for ddos. It was not a question to contact them. This was the first thing once we read about them here. I'm afraid the quote is going to be more a six figure quote, not 10K.
