Made the mistake of going on the subreddit for my City (which I occasionally do). Supposedly a half dozen or so "Nazis" (we know how loosely that term gets thrown around by chitlibs, so who knows?) were marching downtown. Holy fuck at the reddit hysterics/hypocrisy/projection/etc. that ensued. Man what a goddamn cesspit that place can be (there's value to be found in some subs though).

Then those same people will bitch about right wingers being "fascist", in echo chambers, being pro censorship, etc. etc.

I really try to avoid any political shit on that shithole, but from the little I have seen...my mind is just nuked at some of the most ridiculous projection that I've seen (accusing conservatives of the behavior that they themselves egregiously engage in) - like, what fucking reality are you people living in? It rustles me because I fucking despise such egregious dishonesty, stupidity, lack of integrity, and bad faith. There is FAR too much of that in our society, and you REALLY see it at absurd levels when it comes to politics and current events.

I haven't checked this thread lately, and came over to congratulate all of the MISCers placing in the ASSHAT voting. (it's very impressive, BTW. The nominations most likely came from people easily rustled, but still...)

But then I see posts about DDOS attacks? AGAIN?!?

I'm not an IT guy, but someone needs something like Cloudflare, LOL.

Someone already tagged Haus Haus so lemme just say...get your ass in here, motherfucker! If you're knowledgeable on this shit, give us some learnin's!


One thing about how people react every time they get DDoS'ed: As far as I know, if you're setup like a retard, then you will get attacked, and you will be attacked OFTEN. It isn't (necessarily) a specific bad actor who has it out for you. Crying "OMG, it's happened again, I bet it's X over at Y!" just means you probably aren't doing what you need to do to address it, otherwise you'd have found a preventative solution by now, and stopped the attacks (or more likely, simply mitigated them, I guess?).

When I see them getting attacked MULTIPLE TIMES, I have to start asking why they're so VULNERABLE. It's like parking your new car outside and leaving the windows down 24/7. And then when it inevitably rains, accusing your neighbor of sending the storm to ruin the upholstery. No, motherfucker, stop being a retard and secure your shit. Accusing someone else for your stupidity is just hilarious.

What is up with their Host? Is their Host so bad/cheap that they can't stop anything? Do they even try? Has that forum's Admin even talked to anyone about what they need to do to stop it? And if the site was down very long at all, then that's on Admin, IMHO. First for using a Host that isn't proactive (do they not know a DDoS is happening? Are they waiting for a fucking invitation?) or is seemingly incapable of helping, then for not changing their Host, or heaven forbid, trying to do everything themselves.

Even if it *WAS* some asshole intentionally directing attacks at the forum, it really WOULDN'T MATTER, if things were setup 'correctly', and people were practicing their due diligence (you know, the stuff you are supposed to do so your site isn't compromised). Because in that case, even an intentional DDOS would be handled the same way as a generic DDOS is, and most/all users would never even be aware of them, because they'd be addressed.

This is just part of why we reacted like we did when we were first accused. It's so idiotic that I don't even have words (and normally I legit have way too many words, LOL.)

I would seriously tag Alkorin Alkorin if I thought he even checked the forums these days, just on the offchance he could offer some legit advice. Maybe Lightning Lord Rule Lightning Lord Rule if he was feeling beneficent this morning. Otherwise, when the forum is up, someone needs to ask whoever is 'running' that site WTF is going on.

Hurm...

Yeah, we need to know more about their hosting setup if we're going to talk about DDOS protections. And remember there are a few flavors of DDOS. Most fall under one of these two types :
  1. Volumetric - This is traditional pure flooding. "Get a hundred thousand endpoints to all start ping/http request flooding this sites main page at the same time" This is what Cloudflare is built to help you prevent.
  2. Systematic overload - This is where they find some particular flaw in the code on a site. Usually something like "We can tell when someone does XYZ it causes a CPU/IOPS spike causing a tiny delay... Let's set up a bot net and hit them with 1000s of these requests at the same time and see if we can tump this bitch over"
That second one is harder to defend against outside improving code. What do we know about the attacks and style so far?
