not dos.. ddos
 

distributed denial of service attack.

This is the attack that dropped the root nameservers.

dropped yahoo for hours..

gigabits of inbound traffic from thousands of source IPs on thousands of diff. ports.

We're doing something right if you can read this.

All day long biatch. :glugglug

DDOS? Hmm, not famailer with that attack!

Ya cant kill GFY!!! :thumbsup

Fuck yea, can't KILL GFY. :1orglaugh

okay ... WHO REALLY FUCKING CARES?

Does this mean my previous last post doesn't count as the last post ever on GFY?

I saw one of those once. It managed to back up and run to a crawl to three different level 3 core routers in a matter of a couple hours of trying to fix it.

Yikes.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You would...
if he succeeded - you wouldnt be posting here right now

come on and post his info already, i want to have a gross of anal plugs and a 50 lb box of random gay porn sent to his house.

please, please, please.

GFY rox :GFYBand

Thanx...

jDoG

Question is, is Dipsy for real....

Andre

Okay he is...Damn that was a long downtime!

nice!
:thumbsup

Did Deepsy stop the attack, or did you guys manage to deflect it somehow??

Nice job Smegma.. :thumbsup

This was the same type of attack that has had dalnet IRC down for months on end and it is still down, every single server. GFY cant stop it any more than dalnet could if it was a large attack. The guy turned off the attack obviously.

Smegma welcome to the like whoa world! :)


like i said ddos is fun...

why don't the stupid ISP's check the damn emails for viruses?

Good point.
E-mail is the main source of idiots getting infected with these type of trojans/virusses.
It shouldn't be too hard to block all e-mails with attached virusses.
I think the user and the provider should be held responsible somehow for these attacks.
And the ones doing the actual attack should be locked up for ever.

Now that's a damn good question..... I've also wondered about that myself.

Deepsy was for real.

When GFY was down, i also checked and amateurpages was down for quite some time, as well as adult.com in some intervals

This sucks.. when will he be busted :ak47:

I can't believe you're all so ignorant, I mean, if you're not interested, go search another board you can post on, while this board is down.

He already showed us he can put it down for 5 hours. So why not for 5 days?

is there a way to prevent ddos attacks?

Wildcard = deepsy

exactly. everyone was laughing at him but he put down GFY for 5 hours and amateur pages for couple of hours too.. Im sure it costs lensman some thousands..

Maybe they should contact him like he wanted to be contacted???? Maybe all he wants is a GFY tshirt.haha

... could as well be mass hacked unix / win boxes. Tons of publicy available exploits and ddos tools out there, and new vulns in network daemons are discovered all the time.

A correctly launched ddos attack is very hard to stop .. IPs can be spoofed, it can me made into looking like real traffic (web traffic on port 80 for example) and so on.

Its mostly kids seeking confirmation and powertrips ...

not really.. same shit happened to my sites before.. you can block their ip.. but it is so strong the computer will be blocking so much shit it will end up crashing or coming to a stand still and the site will go down.. and it was a 2 gb dual 2.4 p4's and still made the cpu % goto 100% and come to a stand still.. i was being attacked by about 5,000 computers tho

I'm from the netherlands u fuckhead, and I'm not a hacker.

damn thats fucked up

Because the IPs will all be blocked by then anyway. It's too much trouble for him, and for what, I doubt he will get anything. And in a week from now no one will remember him anyway.

finally someone with brains

Yep I think it's hard too to block attacks like that. But XFR networks can handle that, since they get paid tons of cash anyway.. (I think)

The people who laugh are ignorant indeed. It's very easy to bring an ISP to its knees nowadays, it's not like you have to be a genious. We have had irc kids do it every other week back when I worked at a shell provider.

My host was attacked a few weeks ago and they never found the guy who did it... I hope they find him this time :mad:

if it's ever happened to you.. it's pretty fucking crazy watching thousands of ip's all looking like legit traffic going to your site per second but actually attacking your site.. i don't think there is any way to actually stop it.. besides logging the ip's and sending them off to level3 and verio and so on.. and they start killing the modems 1 by 1.. that's what they ended up having to do for me.. took a few days tho :(

Exactly. Everyone is going on about it on how he can't do it. Glad to see I'm not the only one that realizes that he actually did do it here. Regardless if he's stopped it now or GFY stopped it. It still happened and it did cause down time.

Not very bright, are ya?

Why don't the stupid users run their own fucking virus scans. What a fucking moron you are. Blame the ISP because you are too fucking lazy to take responsibility for yourself. Typical kid...

Just thought I'd post this as a little info for those that don't seem to understand this has nothing to do with email or ISP's. The attacks are coming from what is known as a "Botnet"

http://swatit.org/bots/gallery.html

They're usually controlled through IRC, many of the bot programs are not picked up by Norton, Mcaffee or any of the other virus programs, because they are not Virii. The above URL has quite a few screenshots of various IRC channels used to control the networks. The main source of the "infections" is IRC and Kazaa. You download a small program that appears to be a crack for a game or something, it gives an error, you delete it and go on your way, and now you're an unknowing pawn being used in DDOS attacks. Each "botnet" can grow to an enormous size very quickly and do serious damage.

As someone else mentioned, DALnet was brought to it's knees for months by people using these things. They are virtually unstoppable. It's not a wise idea to keep taunting this guy, if he's real, until Lensman and the hosting companies can track him down.

Lens already has his info, i'm sure there's a couple goons on their way to israel right now

also, that idiot kid wants to see you guys say he succeeded. Don't give him gratification for what he did.

I hope they're bringing cameras :glugglug

I pointed out the DDOS aspect in a post yesterday but it's really just semantics :) The important thing is that I can wake up and get my GFY fix.

SpaceAce

I checked this with 2 english professors and a dictionary, the plural of Virus is infact Viruses. It should be Virii but it isn't god damn it.

it is in the computer world.
