Zackman [LDEV] 162 Report post Posted May 18 I can see continously attempts of an old proxy client, hammering the server. Maybe a bot...dunno. Last restart from me today as i am leaving town now. So treat the server well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krazey 0 Report post Posted May 18 What are we looking at here? Is this a fabric /hosting platform issue, or a DDoS? Something we can do to help resolve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lquan 15 Report post Posted May 18 Zackman's post suggests a DDoS attack with an old proxy "hammering" the server. The net-7 website is up, so the underlying IP address is good and the hired server farm is working. I don't understand how to defeat a DDoS attack myself and suspect it requires adding specialized code to the host server's gateway [that code would discard all messages from the offending IP address(es) without reply] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn 0 Report post Posted May 19 Just making sure you guys know, the login server is down. Looks like the proxy bot is at it again. Wish we could IP block it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrazeyKami 0 Report post Posted May 19 So, why can't we? Surely there is a caller Id / IP somewhere in the logs. Add it to the firewall to drop the packets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KrazeyKami 0 Report post Posted May 19 https://www.cloudflare.com/ddos/ Seems affordable. Again, if the source is only 1 IP address, it needs to be possible to have the hosting company block that address. But before we move here, how certain is it that we're met with a DDoS? I would like to get involved here to see if there is something I can do to help. I'm a professional in the infrastructure area, and more than willing to lend a helping hand.

As long as there is no official statement about such actions, you shouldn't make up anything and "sell it as fact". Just because some1 is constantly trying to connect with an old proxy client is not matching the term DDOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
