BOOM 8,745 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 What's to stop this new website from getting ddosed? This for anyone who tries it again..... Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/258-ddos-attack/page/4/#findComment-1115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squinty Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Don't DDoS attacks have a lifetime limited to the resources and time of whoever's running it though? If that's the case, then after a certain amount of time, they should stop and we should be able to go back on the old site. Or is that not how it works Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/258-ddos-attack/page/4/#findComment-1117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that not how it works That's generally how it works, but from what little I've read of all this it sounds like what happened is the host took it down because it was under attack, and refuses to put it back up unless we pay the ridiculous protection fee because it's a "risk" on their behalf or some bullshit.

Smarch 3,150 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 No, its like the Mr Burns disease bit from the Simpsons Speaking of Simpsons they are supposedly killing off a main character again this year, let's hope its rod and todd, or Kesler Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/258-ddos-attack/page/4/#findComment-1125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JardyB10 4,865 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Also we can't really turn the tables on whoever did it because A. We don't have an idea who did it. Best guess is Eldred, but it's not like he left on the most extreme bitter terms. We had a reasonable PM convo on his way out. Also B. Even if it was him, does he have a web page we can break or something? How would it even work? The only way it would make sense is if it was like, an SHL admin or something. And even then it would just be back and forth. Although we should track down and beat up Spangle just for fun now that I think about it...

TurnDaddy 323 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 That's generally how it works, but from what little I've read of all this it sounds like what happened is the host took it down because it was under attack, and refuses to put it back up unless we pay the ridiculous protection fee because it's a "risk" on their behalf or some bullshit. I understand where they're coming from on that stance, but the chances of it happening again would be slim to none unless whoever did it was really feeling like an asshole and burning through cash. Open it back up, let 3-4 max on, delete everyone else so that we CAN'T get on and let those 3-4 people grab what they need, get it transferred, and then the host can shut it back down.

Commissioner Beketov 9,022 Posted October 1, 2013 Commissioner Share Posted October 1, 2013 I understand where they're coming from on that stance, but the chances of it happening again would be slim to none unless whoever did it was really feeling like an asshole and burning through cash.

Unfortunately web hosting companies aren't the most reasonable people in cases like this. I even suggested we assure them we'll set the site to offline so anyone who does stumble by it (be they attacking or otherwise) would think it's pointless to try. Unfortunately they aren't going for it. The best we can hope for is that the backup file contains posts and we can get them onto a different board for transfer. I'm weary on if that will happen or not though. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/258-ddos-attack/page/4/#findComment-1234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

probably not noah 346 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 So if we can access the logs to the old forum we might be able to find out who did the attack. Or at least their IP and figure out from there. Apparently the Low-Orbit Ion Cannon is really easy to backtrace if you have site logs Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/258-ddos-attack/page/4/#findComment-1394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
