Another Day, Another Attack
Journal | September 18, 2008 | Posted by Basilisk
I woke in the early morning hours to discover the site under attack once again. What else is new? This has been going on for months now. Today the server logs indicate that nearly 50,000 bad requests came through in a single hour. The site did not bomb, however; the attack was unsuccessful. It would appear that the security measures I’ve deployed in the last week are holding up! I have AskApache and PerishablePress to thank for that. I hesitate to say we’re in the clear but the clouds are certainly starting to break up.
With that said, there is a chance that legitimate traffic is being blocked or redirected in unexpected ways. If you happen to run into any problems downloading files or surfing the site, please let me know. I am limited in how I can test things on my end so any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
On a somewhat related note, I am happy to report that Ektoplazm visitors have donated 50 € since the beginning of August! Thanks everyone!!
