Guest Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, Coldfront is currently undergoing a DDoS attack. It is recommended that everyone use one of these servers: polar.coldfront.net ice.coldfront.net Polar is only accepting ipv6, but ice should be accepting v4 as well. From an IRCop: [18:58:44] <lane> We are currently undergoing a DDoS. [19:16:51] <lane> I'd encourage you guys to join either ice or polar for now. Polar is only accepting ipv6, but ice should be accepting v4 as well. Edited November 3, 2015 by Cynic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skable Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 [01:46:25] <lane> Oh hey it helps when I read email: We're null-routed on ipv4. We probably won't have ipv4 back up and running for at least 24 hours. So unless Merlin gets links working with ipv6, we won't have much of a network for a day or two.

laneatomic Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hey guys! Thought I'd register and answer a few questions. Why are they getting Ddos'd? Coldfront is getting DDoS'd because a highly active community that's new to the network attracted a botnet. Their twitch stream got ddos'd as well. What a good time. Null-routing is a next to last resort option. It's an extremely common practice for hosting providers to null-route IPs that are under DDoS attack. This isn't unusual at all, and is actually usually one of the first real steps taken towards DDoS mitigation. Time to switch to Rizon! As an oper on both Coldfront and Griefplay, I'd rather see y'all use irc.griefplay.net instead of Rizon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diocletian Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Why are they getting Ddos'd? Why does any hacker hack? They're losers that decided they wasn't gonna put their skills to good use. You know, like hacking other countries on behalf of their own nation's intelligence community. Nah, instead they !@#$ with your 'average Joe' website and screw things up for everybody that enjoys the service. 3 "The happiness of the people, and the peace of the empire, and the glory of the reign are linked with the fortune of the Army."

Dark Specter Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 well that explains why i couldnt get on earlier. Amidst the eternal waves of time From a ripple of change shall the storm rise Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon Behold the razgriz, its wings of black sheath The demon soars through dark skies Fear and death trail its shadow beneath Until men united weild a hallowed sabre In final reckoning, the beast is slain As the demon sleeps, man turns on man His own blood and madness soon cover the earth From the depths of despair awaken the razgriz Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
