Lowendtalk is painfully slow

What's happening behind the scenes

@jbiloh and @ColoCrossing are being prepared for IPv6 feature future.

--- Edited ---

Looks like SSL doesn't work well with IPv6.

Reverting back....please be patient...while our @SySadmin comes from IPv0 after-party.

What do you expect ? it's hosted on $7 vps

Working normal here/ now.

Anyhow, sometimes back someone did shared the basic infrastructure detail. I dont remember correctly but LET/B was hosted in some kind of cluster of 3 servers or whatever, just ignore. Enjoy Sunday.

Yearly? hehe
For $7/m you can get decent servers nowadays .

Anyway everything seems fine now

Maybe hosted on LEB vps

A quick update based on what I’ve been told:

• Earlier today (~12:30 PM Eastern), someone decided to launch an attack on the new “infrastructure”

• The DoS (Denial of Service) was caused by ~10-20 Mbit/s of rogue traffic (layer 7)

  • The webserver quickly became overloaded by a large number of requests to a vulnerable endpoint (Vanilla is an insecure POS)

• The attack ended around an hour ago

Edit: made the attack type more clear.

It was down for me for 1-2 hours

Waaaait 10-20mbit was enough to kill the server??... So what then is the point of cloudflare then if barely any traffic kills it xD. Srsly that sounds like a 7$/yr vps of the finest quality lol

It was a DoS on the application layer (i.e. Vanilla).

Having said that, the 20 Mbit/s was the total BW being pushed per second by a (likely) few thousand requests.

not sure why you need to taped it? you don't really need a case to make the computer to function properly.

apparently it took a hot minute for LET admins to explain the urgency of the situation to the Deluxe accounting department

Please setup haproxy with a 30 sec cache... This will instantly fix ddos attacks on layer 7.
I can help if needed

Probably one of the eighteen million or so skid hosts that can't get a provider tag, to peddle their garbage here.

Yeah, I was going to add that there are too many possible suspects!

And there's also that looney-tunes wannabe extortionist demanding ransom from various hosts here and then throwing wet noodles at their networks when their generous offer that can't be refused is, in fact, refused.

LET has been acquired by PSK Hosting

LET barely loads for me in Germany. Sadly. I wanted to read some threads to fall asleep
