Thanks Mal.
I know that what I'm asking perhaps has no answer. I was just thinking that if you guys have successfully repelled the attacks, then maybe Oleg could employ the same host and/or services. It may be that you guys have simply not been targeted. |

I have a hard time believing any credible group would be involved in something like this. Eventually it would get out and the backlash would be worse than any benefit they might gain from it.
My guess is some lonely, pimply faced kid with no life. |

Well, I joined up here the other day even without the DDOS spur, even had my username from THR free
Gotta love working a desk job with big pause times, I get to read TFL and THR (when it's up) all day! Sounds to me like their host is at best lazy about their security, which is never good.

I wonder how many of these forums are hosted by the same provider. Could be some script kiddie that discovered an easy crop of victims. The only thing more aggravating than a constant sustained attack is an intermittent one.
Oh yea another THR refugee here. Registered around the same time as THR but been here only once or twice. |

The best possible tool to kill these attacks would be an upstream filter where ISPs are linked. Then a blackhole accross the internet for a leanth of time.
This could kill VOIP and other streaming data uses. Did TFL just drop offline for some people in the last hour? I lost TFL AR15 for a few minutes and they are all back up when I returned just a minute ago.

So when thinking of culprits, how many APS refugees had Blackburn as their first thought? Anybody?

I too am a THR refugee but I've been on other forums for several years. It seems that I tend to find other forums from being on specific forums. I think I'd heard of TFL before but didn't expand my horizons until this weekend. Glad to be here and all that but I wish those idjuts that inconvenience us would just cut it out and get a life.. Though without THR being down, I wouldn't have discovered another forum to read in my down time..

I'd be a liar if I said that it hadn't crossed my mind a time or three.

I still think that this would make EXCELLENT fodder for O'Reilly, etc., regarding the suppression of free speech... Seeing that the whole mess originated from up toward Chicago...

New THR refugee checking in.
Hi all at TFL, and good to see you to the refugees of THR. I got around to registering here and I'll be around if you guys will have me.

Today 09:10 AM Hanzerik So this is where everyone is hanging out.
It's a good place, many years ago TFL was the place on the web & then the owners took a break for a year or more. THR was created to fill the void left behind by TFL closing it's doors. Now they both are great places to hang your hat |

On my linux box, I use the iptables module "limit" to drop packets incoming from hosts that send too many requests per minute. Would this kind of thing help?

To all the refugees from THR/APS:
Welcome to The Firing Line. As I have stated in one of my previous posts, I actually went the other way. I cut my teeth on TFL and learned a lot. I ghosted on THR for a long time before finally joining. I enjoy The High Road immensely, but still find my time on TFL very fulfilling. So welcome to the TFL, the unofficial THR support group. One of our senior members, sm, has opened a "Welcome" post to new members in the General Discussion area with some great links to check out (I enjoyed checking in each day to read the latest on Rich's Zimbabwe expedition last year - still makes for a great read!). Welcome to TFL |

For example: While down in Alabama, I logged into my server at home in Virginia via SSH. Anything I did from that box would appear to be coming from Virginia, even though I was sitting in Alabama. It's not as simple as saying "ooh ooh, the packets are coming from x.x.x.x". Chris |

Ahh... I'm glad there's a refuge here for wandering, lost APS and THR souls.
