I was afraid you guys got shut down or something.  I was relieved to see the board back up today. 

**Monte Cristo** · 12-11-2002, 09:29 AM

Good to see the board back up! Did they
find out what went wrong or who was
messing with the site, if that is what happened?

I honestly dont know, just catching people off guard with the Minx deal....all I know is we were attacked by the same 14 year old tool shed who was neglected as a child that attacked the chat room..

**Chemo** · 12-11-2002, 11:18 PM

The real scoop is that the web server finally buckled under a heavy DoS (denial of service) attack.  It withstood almost a 2 week barrage of millions of bogus page requests until it just died.  It was the same type of attack that crippled the chat server...

After the server recovered the wizards decided to install some upgrades such as GZIP capabilities and others that ultimately fried the server for another 24 hours...enough can't be said for professional installs

At any rate, thanks for sticking around through all the heartaches and general bull****.  If I ever catch that 14 year old that started the attack a face to face meeting will be planned...

Thats very strange. It seems like everybodies board has been hit. Par's, yours and I just saw where Jeff Summers board got taken offline permantely from Dos'ings.

Any idea on whos doing it? Receive any threats or anything?

**Monte Cristo** · 12-13-2002, 06:39 AM

"..If I ever catch that 14 year old that started the attack a face to face meeting will be planned..."

That sounds like the "script kiddies" did this. Their MO is to hang around hacker boards and pick up, "scripts". These
scripts are trojan programs that get on
computers through infected software
and email attachments. They allow the
Kiddie to use other peoples computers
to launch Denial of Service attacks on
their target, among othe possibilities.

The prime targets for these trojan program are computers operating under
windows with high speed internet connections and NO firewall.

Good article:

If many bodybuilding sites are afflicted
with this as has been reported, it was
probably done by a pencil neck geek
who is so far away from scoring some
***** that his right hand will no doubt
chew itself off in a desperate bid for
freedom.

Unfortunately, they are very difficult
to catch. The link above describes the
efforts of an expert to find them. Of
course if you did find them and wanted
to prosecute an underage person
would likely get a slap on the wrist instead of a tire iron across the nuts that they deserve. Anyway, the government has better things to do such as crack down on TDs and PHs.

If you guys need a good FREE firewall, this one from Sygate is one of the best.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, good catch Doc, I use that one at home, great free firewall. ZoneAlarm is another good free one.

And for those who may be on the pirating side of things (nudge, nudge), you can get ZoneAlarm Pro on kazaa if you look hard. (not that I would advocate not paying for software in any way)
