Downtime, past and future
Sorry for the downtime this morning,
Well, it was morning in the US anyway. Some low life decided to packet flood our connection with about 7Mbps of traffic. Needless to say, we do not have the bandwidth to weather that kind of attack. The ISP for the attack source is using our network logs to track down the culprit. Later today, we plan on renumbering into a new network. There should only be a few minutes of downtime if everything goes okay. Later this week, we plan on physically moving the server to a new home so look for a couple of hours downtime for that.

So that's what it was all about.
I wonder who could hate the network so much.

They don't need to hate the network, just use it as a target of their fun and games. It is really too bad that some people can get their jollies by doing stuff like that. No one else thinks that it is funny or cool.

The Subaru-SVX server has been renumbered.
We still have one or two more little downtime sessions for later in the week and then we should be done for a while. |

Jim,
First of all, congratulations on your new house and your upcoming nuptials. Second, thank you so much for your time and efforts in sustaining the network. Those of us who've developed the habit of "living" here, are forever in your debt. Kudos!

I was referring to the Denial of Service attacks by pinging our beloved ip address of www.subaru-svx.net with packets with large buffers . Note to hacker: You ping, I ping, and you will have a big ding! |

I'd just like to say that not all hackers are evil and bent on screwing up other people's things. I read 2600, the hacker quarterly on a regular basis, and it's reader base is mostly just people who think technology is cool, and like to find out how things work. Sure, they might pull a prank (switching the input/output signals of fast food restaurants so people at burger king order burgers but the signal gets sent to taco bell, stuff like that), but part of the hacker creed is to not do anything harmful, EVER.
The people you are talking about are criminals, and therefore called... I'm not kidding... CRackers. Like hackers, they know technology, but they use it for CRiminal intent, hence CRacker. - Rob |

Note to Hackers & Crackers: I'm coming for your fingers. I guess a prank like that is perfectly legal and harmless. Sending signals from burger king to taco bell is absolutely not harmful, EVER to the burger king business. taco bell absolutely wants these burger signals sent to them because they want to deal with burgers and not tacos. You are absolutely right Mr. Robert. Thanks for making things so clear. |
