Multiple DDoS Attacks

ad

I apologize up front for starting this thread...in case it's already been addressed ad nauseum on here lately..I've been absent for a bit. I did a quick scan of the topics and didn't see anything....

I just read on a sources discussion page that they are under another DDoS attack. Eroids has been under attack off and on for awhile now and so have several sources websites. This appears to be a concerted effort by someone who obviously either doesn't have a job or its LE. I'm no expert on the technical aspects of a distributed denial of service attack but this isn't a coincidence. Stay safe out there. Peace

My guess was its somebody who eroids pissed off at one time or another.

When I first got here, there was a guy who was pissed at "Kind regards, William", he claimed to have a leash on internet hell.

The Mods BANNED him,.........once the laughing died down.

Thinking back on it, maybe it was "online fury" he had a leash on. Oh well, he's gone now.

Ddos is a part of life now. Easy to build a net of IoT devices. Hundreds of thousands of cameras and fucking wifi toasters under control. The release of Mirai bot source code made it so everyone can do it. Between that and paid for Ddos services it's easy and cheap.

It is. The easy way to do it is to DDOS a website and charge the owner/operator to stop the attack. The more sophisticated form of electronic hijacking extortion (ransomware) would be to gain administrator access to the site and then charge the owner/operator to get it back or have it deleted. University of Calgary has to pay 20,000$ to get their site back.

CloudFlare allows users to access the site while under an attack, however live versions are unavailable.

Hopefully it's just a DDOS attack. SQL Injection in another story completely.
