XtremeMaC Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) This issue was referred to our office this week when there was a denial of service attack against the www.personal.psu.edu server due to several thousand connections to your site from the same external IP addressnow who the hell dos'd my web page huh? If i ever find out who that person is I'll seriously terminate him/her/them!okay how can this be? even if someone has a virus or something why would it point to my webpage? what the heck's going on?edit: now when i first started to host MS related files i was totally sure that they were legal to host since i don't change anything in them and they're avaliable to everyone who goes to oem.microsoft.com.I don't understand!! is it bc of winamp? **** nfo viewer? apart from these why the ddos attack?I mean what the?

gamehead200 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Ask your admin to trace back the IP and see where it came from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 No point tracing the IP, DoS attacks are pretty much anonymous as they are ping flood attacks from several thousand innocent PCs that have been exploited security-wise, and all controlled from one DDOS server.Me and xper are working on hosting the DX9 OPK and WMP9MM2 Bundle on the MSFN server at the moment.

XtremeMaC Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 (edited) what are your opinions on publishing copyrighted material on the websitehave i done something illegal? would u guys be doing something illegal if u were to publish them along with winamp and ****?cool its good to know that there is a better replacement than torrent ok i admit this discussing should have taken place b4 hand but i didn't see any problem since they exist on every Microsoft Operating system. They're free and all Edited April 14, 2004 by XtremeMaC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 If it was illegal it would be reported. But Spheris says it isn't illegal to host the OPKs.DDOS attacks are carried out by jealous people. MSFN was DDOS'ed today too, and we're not denying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 i was wondering why i couldn't get to the site for awhile. lol.I'm sure **** won't have many legal issues.DO NOT PUT DIRECT LINKS TO THE FILE ON OTHER SITES!!!Most of users will not be able to get the file if they attempt to download it from location other than this site That's all they say on their site, and you wouldn't be direcly linking.as for winamp.....only one way to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 they've taken my internet, my web server, soon they'll kick me out of the school....That's a bit extreme, a DDOS attack on your site isn't your fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 they've taken my internet, my web server, soon they'll kick me out of the school....Host files on MSFN server. There is no need to host those on personal site or even worse school server.Speaking about DDOS, yeah investigation is underway. But as Aaron say finding real source of those attacks is almost impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 host them on MSFN server? are u refering to me cause i don't know how i can host them on msfn server?ok i can understand why msfn is ddos'd (many jealous ppl and all) but can someone tell me why someone ddos my site? it simply doesn't make any sense.

Datalore Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Maybe they did a spidering DDOS that attacked any links from MSFN posts that contained the words MSFN in them. Who knows, stupid people do stupid things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
