WikiLeaks.org suffers 2nd DDoS - 10Gbps!

[Roger H. Veteran]

Wikileaks was hit by a second denial of service attack on Tuesday. The assault followed attempts to blitz the site off the web on Sunday night in the run-up to the controversial release of hundreds of thousands of US diplomatic cables.

The whistleblowing site confirmed the latest attack in an update to its Twitter feed on Tuesday afternoon.

Analysis of the first attack by DDoS mitigation experts Arbor Networks shows that the assault ran at a relatively modest 2-4Gbps for several hours. The attack, modest by the standards of other attacks this year that have hit 10Gbps and above, was nonetheless severe enough for Wikileaks to move its systems back back over to Amazon's cloud infrastructure in order to seek shelter from the storm.

"Overall, at 2-4 Gbps, the Wikileaks DDoS attack was modest in the relative scheme of recent attacks against large web sites," Arbor Networks analyst Craig Labovitz writes. "Though, TCP and application level attacks generally require far lower bps and pps rates to be effective."

Gee, this is a surprise. I expect a lot more of this to be honest.

Wikileaks should be destroy by the best hackers in the world so they can delete and **** all these data that is affecting the integrity of our army around the world.

I'm stuck betwixt crying and cheering...

It seems WikiLeaks is exposing the US's true feelings of the rest of the world!!!

On the subject of this topic, who is DDoS'ing the site?

I would think the best hackers in the world would love to add to the site by releasing sensitive data they find.

[StevenNT]

Some of the contents is already reported and I think The Guardian Newspeper here in England has full coverage is what's been leaked.

So DDOSing Wikipeaks won't make it go away, which is good in my view. It's out there so live with it and think twice next time.

I was already thinking China and the US probably all doing this at the sametime not knowing the other side is doing it too. LOL

[ahhell]

I have a feeling that 4chan\etc aren't the ones behind this attack.

Just because you're afraid for the truth to come out doesn't mean that the rest of us should suffer from such censorship.

The behaviour of your army is what is destroying it's integrity, these people are just revealing the truth. Maybe if you have such a problem with the truth being exposed, you should condemn your army for its behaviour rather than complaining about the people who expose it.

Yeah. Lots of hackery going on lately. You can tell the governments are involved now when leak sites get DDoS'd, and Iranian industrial machines are brought down by strategically conceived and implemented malware.

I can only think this just gets better. Isn't there an applet yet to shut down North Korea?

Rubbish. The army does what it's told, nothing more nothing less. It's others you have a beef with or are you just another yank hater?

So the part that is affecting the integrity of those involved is the revealing of the **** that goes on, not the actual performance of said ****? Is that correct? Am I understanding you right?

Wow, all I can say is wow .. are you butt ****ing Palin? After all the only way that bint wins is by coming from behind.

Ah the typical mindless hatred of the card carrying patriot. Are you trying to say that things like rape, murder, beatings, and torture are actually being done because of orders from above? because not only is that staggeringly stupid, it would also paint your government in a FAR worse light if it where true.

Unfortunately, not everyone wants to fold to the becoming of a 1984-like world of governance. You can digest that crap, but the rest of us happy to see this garbage hit the public circus.

These leaks don't put any troops at large, maybe the prior leaks from July. These leaks only put diplomatic and political figures in the spot light to be precise.

This is one of the most comical statements I have ever heard.

Too bad posting my real reply for you would probably get me banned here.

[Neoauld]

I wouldnt be surprised if the government was behind all this...but then again Wikileaks is a pretty high profile target now.

Your posts against WikiLeaks are stupid and radical. People exposing the truth from the government, that is trying to cover up their mistakes and crap from the world, is a bad thing? You are no better than the people that want to bomb and kill innocent people because you don't agree with what they say or what they do. :rolleyes:
