Yeah, because you see 4chan, Something Awful, and sites that actually offend people going down all the time. A competent techie can stop a DDoS.[N]ick;2791452 said:Hahaha, alright. When you find a solution to stop DDoSing on the internet, I will be very impressed.
its not the internet its sythe. you dont see google being ddosed or any half way decent site.
Current hardware
Servers are commodity-class x86 PCs running customized versions of Linux. Indeed, the goal is to purchase CPU generations that offer the best performance per unit of power, not absolute performance. Estimates of the power required for over 450,000 servers range upwards of 20 megawatts, which could cost on the order of US$2 million per month in electricity charges.
Specifications:
Over 450,000 servers[1] ranging from a 533 MHz Intel Celeron to a dual 1.4 GHz Intel Pentium III (as of 2005)
One or more 80GB hard disks per server (2003)
2–4 GiB of memory per machine (2004)
The exact size and whereabouts of the data centers Google uses are unknown, and official figures remain intentionally vague. In a 2000 estimate, Google's server farm consisted of 6000 processors, 12,000 common IDE disks (2 per machine, and one processor per machine), at four sites: two in Silicon Valley, California and two in Virginia.[6] Each site had an OC-48 (2488 Mbit/s) internet connection and an OC-12 (622 Mbit/s) connection to other Google sites. The connections are eventually routed down to 4 x 1 Gbit/s lines connecting up to 64 racks, each rack holding 80 machines and two ethernet switches. The servers run custom server software called Google Web Server.
LOL!
have fun DDosing that.
WAIT!
Let me wave my magic wand and fix it!
/poof
Oh, I don't think your method worked very well.
Honestly, just leave if it REALLY irritates you that much, but you can still leave even if it doesn't.
it seems sythe is already protected from DDosing attacks:

It could be true that it still isent enough security.
but i think its more likely sythe isent buying enough bandwidth. Since it seems that the less people that are on the faster sythe is.
The Solution: Buy more bandwidth for a month. It sythes performance increases your problem is not having enough bandwidth. If it is about the same your problem is DDosing. If your being DDosed then switch to a web hosting service that provides better security.
whats your point
His point his, that is why sites like Google aren't usually or are never down.
Dude just shut up I've tried to find away for more than two years once you fix it, it will always come back so just stfu you'll never find away.
Not true.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sythe i'm pretty sure has a one man technical staff (just him). So with his own life as well, it's been hard enough for him to even keep up the site at all. We need server tech
That would be our best way. Getting new servers is a pain in the neck, especially since if we just get new servers, that'll just mean whoever is DoSing us will most likely try to use the old botnets, etc. and use them on our new servers, etc. etc.
I understand that Sythe can't always be here to help out though.
Also, wtp... just because we have some security, doesn't mean it's good security.
Sythe doesn't HAVE to do anything thankyou very much!whoever owns sythe dosent have a server. hes using a web hosting provider so this is the web hosting providers problem not his. but he has to change hosting provider
Sythe doesn't HAVE to do anything thankyou very much!
SMR, I have to point out that you admins have done a very good job in lowering the amount of Server downtime due to the dDoS
Great job
There is a solution but the admins are too lazy to find it.
Ok, step into Sythes shoes for a week, this site would be fucked.
You think they are lazy? This site has been up for a hell of a long time, I doubt you'd have the patience and wits to keep a site like this with all the problems it's had up and running.
Don't listen to this douchebag called wtp. Admins, your doing a great job.
Security IS taken seriously on this site, however when we have several GROUPS of people who have nothing better to do than find loopholes and fuck with the forums it is hard to stay ahead.true, but whoever owns sythe needs to take the security issues more seriously.
Oh and how exactly does sythe MAKE money ??? Paying more for bandwidth would NOT make him any more profits... How many times have you clicked on the ads??? id assume fuck all, thats how many. So until your willing to contribute then don't complain againsythe dosent has to do anything thell just be losing a whole lot of money. its insensible to not wana work a few minutes to make a few hundred dollors more a month but if sythe dosent care why should i
Whoever owns this site does very little if anything for it. If I had this site this is the first thing I'd do
Buy more bandwidth for a month. It sythes performance increases your problem is not having enough bandwidth. If it is about the same your problem is DDosing. If your being DDosed then switch to a web hosting service that provides better security.
Yes im saying there lazy they would make much more money if they dedicated 10 minutes into doing this.
its more likely sythe isent buying
