Under Attack

[Ickie]

Since 6 am eastern, we have been under brute force attacks, from Brazil, England, and Chile. These were email DOS attacks aimed at my personal website again Ickie.net, so once again I had to turn off www.ickie.net

I did report my logs to the ISP's involved, to close the IP's doing the attacks.

Some people just have no class ... :kilroy:

[Ickie]

here are the 3 , note listed below is just a piece of what is in my logs, but they bombarded me with 100,000 + emails accounts in just minutes causing the server to go out/down
they used every conceivable name at ickie.net to send out spam, note there is only 1 email address at ickie.net and it is me,
This caused the server to have to think, than remove and tell sender there is no such person at ickie.net. and do this 100,000 a minute and it just goes down.

Then its good you don't :icon_lol:

There is a possibility that these attacks could be coming from Bots and not the actual criminal who is in charge of it.

You wouldn't want to shoot or threaten the wrong person would you? :kilroy:

If so I shut up now :monkies:

My question is what is to be gained from attacking Ikie.net :isadizzy:

[Ickie]

well I may lay ickie.net to rest, this is not the first time it came under attack.

I bought a new name www.ronnylarson.com
it will be up shortly.

I bought a new name www.ronnylarson.com (http://www.ronnylarson.com)
it will be up shortly.
So, having posted it here, you are very likely to be attacked again :pop4:

[Ickie]

I don't think so, ickie.net has been around a long time and it is on everyones hit list, its just a number or code and when they no longer can attack it the attacks will stop.

[Ickie]

all the recent attacks on ickie.net have have been email dos attacks.
I have ickie.net supended now and all its mail is being handled by the registar where I bought the name. its now their headake, lol

[ckissling]

This is going on all over the U.S., on Government sites and meany others.
I saw this on the news last night. ckissling

[Ickie]

I just bought domaine forwarding, now ickie.net lives and is pointed at my new site with a mask in place to hide where it really lives.
it is no longer on this server.

it may take a few days to work right.

LOLOLOL...

A classic song..

Kate Bush once said that was her favorite. :d

<<---- sounds like me on post launch day

You should try setting up a honey pot email server on the old address - this is a mail server that waits the maximum amount of time (defined in the SMTP specs) between each message sent/received, and then does nothing with the data except throw it in the bit bucket (so it eats up a lot of bot time, with no actual work being done :-> ).

I noticed last night around 00:30 CST it was difficult to bring up SOH. My browser kept saying it couldn't find the site or it would time out.
