dystopia Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 I could be wrong...but I've been blaiming it on continued dos attacks. However the periods it's down tend to be a lot shorter compared to the initial confirmed attack.
orappa Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 I had this problem as well. Every time I tried to access it for the last 3-4 days, it was down. At one point, I managed to view the home page but could not access the forums. I presumed it was the DDOS attacks.
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted July 17, 2004 MTA Team Posted July 17, 2004 We are using multiple webservers but only 1 handles the forum. So if that one is down the site is up but the forums down
Aeron Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Site: http://67.19.31.53 Forum: http://67.19.31.53/forum They are on the same place

b0b0 Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 The reason for the downtime is probably due to the large amount of 12-year-old script kiddies showing their appreciation for the MTA Team's excellent work.
StAnToN Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 i know its absolutely appawling and that script kiddie goes by the name of l0ngb0ng who also threatened to ddos me!....

We tried everything! for the moment it is up and we hope it stays up from now on I remember there was a virus going around that planned to DDOS Microsoft's site, but, much to everyone's disappointment, their technical guys managed to keep the site up. I'm not certain what they did, but it is possible.
StAnToN Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 LOL bring the microsoft website down i dont think so that must be like causing a power cut at a power station (hard as fuck!)
orappa Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 LOL bring the microsoft website down i dont think so that must be like causing a power cut at a power station (hard as !) Why? Many large sites have been brought down by DDOS attacks. Microsoft's should be no exception. Their web server probably had hundreds of security flaws, judging from their lacklustre approach to security. Oh, and I disagree with your analogy because the power stations either have a single source of power or a single point at which all power meets.
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted July 22, 2004 MTA Team Posted July 22, 2004 i remember that virus, MS was so afraid they even direct to a new domain name in case they had to take microsoft.com offline as domain. same with sco.
StAnToN Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 oh sorry lol just read through my post and its stupid lol anyway back to topic...

Posty Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 99%...I thought that the next progress report at 90% would be the end of it, but just when you think its over... 100% now!!!
jbeta Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Yea at least, guess it's now a matter of days... Thanks MTA Team
orappa Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Yea at least, guess it's now a matter of days... I would have thought that it's just a matter of hours (possibly even less), or am I wrong?
jbeta Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Wish I knew. (Didn't they say "it will be released within a week"? I may be wrong) EDIT: U were right! they have just released the server!
