MensNiche Still down
 

what's happening.. they are down from 2-3 days already :(

its absurd, ive told the guy and many other he should move, could have been moved by now, any decent host would get rid of the ddos and provide a solution, I know m3 for sure would, they helped me out with a DDOS before solved within the hour.

There is much more going on than just a simple DDOS attack.

Things are pretty fucked up at the minute but i know there working really hard to sort it.

either way this is baaaaaaaaad for business :disgust

I already adviced them to move, I mean this is a joke CaveCreek are acting like noobs on this one...

shit like that is aweful
feel sorry for them
I'm no teach guy but I would surely add a shit load of servers from other hosting companies to the network to take care of the heat if thats possible.

As in? Last time I checked he posted its a flood attack. So what else is wrong?

I already told them what they should do in order to avoid something like this from happening again (besides leaving CaveCreek for good...shit its not like they are cheap anyway...piss poor service)

As in application layer attack, syn flood attack, udp attack, and possibly others, who knows.

I wasn't aware they were on cavecreek. Considering their priceds, you would think their service would be better than that. 3 days downtime? What the fuck?

it was a syn flood, but there are ways to work around that and all others too, plus companies who specialize in this, not saying its easy, but 4 days down is terrible.

I agree, 4 days of downtime seems excessive. Mensniche had made it clear, this is not a run of the mill DDOS/hacker attack. Someone is expending huge amounts of resources and money to keep them down.

I just ICQ'ed them and told them to contact ISPrime... I bet they would have them up and running in no time.

Has CCBill never gotten attacked before ?

everyone told them to move to oxeo is jupiter and whoever, theyre not going to. Im pretty sure theyve got some % deal with ccbill, thats prolly why.

Im also very sure ANY decent host can handle this within the day. Id stay up 24/7 till this was done with, so say it costs a few k to take care of, 4 days of no signups at dutchteencash would be a LOT more then just a few k, there has to be another reason this is still draggin

... but I agree with you Id been gone to another host already.

yeah right thats what they all say. I think it makes them feel important. The reality of the situation is its probally some little teenage script kiddy who they pissed off in one way or another.

people just dont understand how easy it is to launch these attacks.

I'm affraid that DDOS is a common foe, and its hard to block because its like any other traffic. All you can do is make a good firewall so they can't portscan you to check for ports open. http://www.iptablesrocks.org/examples/ has a good firewall for web servers. or you could get managed to host a firewall for you, but i doubt they will.

Hope this helps.

so a firewall preventing portscans prevents a server from ddos ?

lol no... :p it may help if the so called attacks are dumbfucks tho

Wasn't CCBill also hit when the Israeli kid that posted here DDOSed a bunch sponsors?

I knew that :) I was already wondering if he thought it was that easy... cause its not glad you know too :)

dunno when?

ps hows the machine

Deeeeeepsssyyyyyyy :upsidedow

No % deal. WE have been in contact with other hosts including ones mentioned, allowed them access to the servers etc and they cant solve it, so moving isn't going to solve anything. IF any host thinks they can , then ICQ me.

whats your icq I talked to m3 bout this and they said its do-able, worth a try talking imho

It's been alot more than 3 days hasn't it?

Darren, still making progress, expect uptime anytime soon?

yes.....

that'd be nice

indeed :)

hope they get it fixed-
In the meantime-

see my sig- we offer products like Enlast, Hemmorhoid ( Venapro)treatment, Menopause pills ( Menocore), and pills for aching joints like Eazol..

Take a look and see which product may convert better for your traffic.

Glad to see you are at least trying to chance the way you plug your shit, now tell me did it hurt?

did what hurt?

not using shady marketing plus...

:Oh crap

I'm surprised kBizzle isn't taking credit for the attacks. He takes credit for all sorts of other shit he isn't responsible for. Like, marketing anything.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

you're sharp
