Not a lot of good news today but it could be worse. I'm talking to one of the guys whose DDoS'ing us and he's pretty chill. Seems like the people actually doing the attacks aren't doing it because they're pro-tranny or whatever, it's just a game, which bodes well for the longevity of the attacks. I am still going to pursue long-term options for keeping the site alive.

Primarily, as the Kiwi Farms is the target of the attack, I am going to find a way to setup instances of it off the network. If attacking the network doesn't bring down the forum, they'll be less inclined.

Second silver coin fundraiser followup with an 8 bit kiwi on the front; "Byuu tested, Near approved" on the back?
 
Can we add a GIF of Ralph and his swinging gut at Digibro's place next time the crash page goes up, Josh?

Well I CAN'T attempt to mitigate it properly because if it's not blocking it with overly-strict rules I can't fucking access the router management

If you have real OOB management (terminal server hooked to the RS232 console ports, on a different network/lte/pots) and 2 extra ports in your switch then a neat trick is make a separate vlan in the switch with just 2 ports. An "in" and an "out".
And you run the WAN side of your router through tha 2 port vlan. So if your router gets maxxed the fuck out then you can just go in to the switch and kill 1 of the ports to drop the WAN. And then get in the router via the terminal server. You can also use the switch as a brute force rate limiting feature. If 300mbps kills the router then lock the switch's port speed to 100 so you can log in to test configs.

Internet -> switch -> router -> switch -> servers

Why not just turn KF off for a couple weeks. They'll eventually get bored.

They won't simply get bored, this will also teach them that they can continue to terrorize KF in the future to get the reaction they want.

Either that is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever fucking read as a reason for anyone doing anything or you just got strapped down for a fucking ride through the Motherfucker 5000 and the controls were left on overnight. Convincing a site that trannies were attacking them while they watch your crypto wallet swell is by far the most...I don't even fucking know at this point.

One thing's for certain, troons would definitely rather whine on twitter and spend thousands on their HRT than actually DO anything, and that is funny.

So they wouldn't agree to stop when you offered to cut your dick off and become a woman for them?

Well, I'm sorry man, I tried. I'm all out of ideas now though.

So what, it's some guy who just had a botnet lying around and decided to troll a bit?

It's most likely just a 20$/month booter.

And it's definitely a game for most of these kids. That Mirai guy back in the day hit krebsonsecurity with 500gbit or something (the record DDoS bandwidth iirc) just for lulz

I am nearing a more stable mid-term solution that should keep us going until the long-term plan is going. It should be done by tomorrow.

Finally! I really hope all of this shit will be over by then. Because this is getting fucking annoying.
 
Just out of curiosity, how'd you get ahold of the guy? Seems odd that'd he talk to you or give a straight answer, especially if the goal was just lulz.
