Jay Kae Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Now this was fun, rather than having to take care of a random DDoS this was a targeted attack, I have been working for 25 hours (minus 5 hours sleep) to get everything back to normal, however, there will be some forum errors here and there which I will start work in about an hour from now, after I have some caffeine and some breakfast, my apologies for this outage but unfortunately there was not much I could have done about it. Please be patient when it comes to errors here and there, they will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro VH-JET Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thankyou Jay, There are not many more dedicated than you, we really appreciate your efforts in the face of this targeted attack. I have been reading the Norton and Wikepedia analysis of DDos attacks and they are complex to say the least, identifying what type of attack structure and its intended purpose is the overwhelming issue here, lets all be thankful that it was not a PDDos attack requiring a complete rebuild of server hardware and the entire database. I have run a complete system scan on my own system to make doubly sure there are no zombie infiltrating trojans present. (All clear with Norton). Now what can we all do for you as a measure of thanks. Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
