supernova_00 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 thank you...and by attack does he mean DDOS or just heavy traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'm assuming a Ddos attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'm assuming a Ddos attack. Ugh... again? Sad people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakyfriday Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 yes i have been getting them tonight... really annoying. server too busy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2004 I'm assuming a Ddos attack. Neowin isn't the only one. Look at this graph from one of my servers. Someone apparetly decided using it for DOS'ing was a good idea. They were attacking some brazian BNC service.

Wannes Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Why do they do it? You don?t get anything from it do you? All you get is thousands of angry people, nothing else.

Steven Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Why do they do it? because they can... it's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted February 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 11, 2004 Actually, it appears in this case some brazillian kid was trying to bring down (or at least slow) a BNC service. So he may have been trynig to **** off someone on IRC. All that fuss over an internet chat room. Some people need to go outdoors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=SD=- Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Is this still going on? Seems like it is.. isn't there anything else that can be done to stop them from doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtotheJ Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 No, right now it's another DDoS...called Slashdotting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwarren Veteran Posted February 13, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 13, 2004 At the moment it's the sheer volume of traffic to the site due to the main page story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokkolm Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Plus Neowin got Slashdot'd, that's probably the biggest reason why it's so slow since that story was put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
