Title: Reason For Site Downtime
Post by: Tbone on September 24, 2004, 06:26:59 pm: I emailed my VizaWeb and they replied informing me that the whole server is under a DDOS attack. I'm trying to discover if the attack is specifically aimed at us or not. I received over 80 email in my Inbox today from the site requesting a change of password on my account, so I think we might be under attack. Stupid stupid people...

We had 2 teen users that were somewhat haxx07 and would occasionally attack our servers with DDOS attacks, for much less reasoning btw then for a game, effectively sending them offline for bouts at a time. We did notify the authorities, but unfortunately nothing was ever done.....

I'm saying all this to say that even if we notify the authorities, it's not always a garantee they they'll do much of anything...

EDIT: i apologize Orasu...I think faster then I can type...

If its coming from one set IP, then its easy, but hard for a machine to spot sometimes, hence you manually have to notice the DDOS, and block if possible.
