yeah it's a pretty small, low-traffic website, so if there are spikes that seem inconsistent with elevated interest/popularity then i guess it could only be explained by a DDoS
Are we suffering attempted DDoS attacks.
- Thread starter Brickwizard
- Start date
It could be otherwise abusive traffic that results in an unintentional denial of service. There are always a bunch of bots here trying to spam the place and/or looking for exploits. Those could easily make it a denial of service without it being a deliberate attack of that nature. It could very well be an unintended side-effect.
A sustained DDoS tends to cost quite a bit of money. You need access to a botnet and that's expensive. or a whole lot of work to create yourself.

Yeah, it would be a lot harder for any hacker to screw with facebook and twitter. If somebody did, i would be not be sad. It would probably have to be someone with the computing power of the US, Russian, or Chinese government though.They practice Bottom Trawling.

our normal number of guest varies day/time make a big difference, from what I have seen is it normally ranges from around 250 to just over 600, the problems usually start when it suddenly hits 1000 or more.
its 10-45 mid morning here

Roger that.
I paid attention because this is a quick increase considering the figures of the last few days.
Time will tell

A good proportion of the people in that list are 'zero' posters.......and the spam filter or whatever it is is working overtime knocking them over

It would be good to know the number of spammers obliterated in the last hour or so.
It is no coincidence that they are all around the 19 year old mark.......and they all turned up here at the same time.
This was organised.
Expect more.

Most of the new members I have seen are either under 25 or over 50 I have noticed a marked increase in numbers whenever a popular film based around hacking is doing the rounds, we also get more "why won't Kali install" type questions

what im wondering is how one would tell the difference between between a DDoS and a spam bot invasion.
