Dreamhost’s under DDoS attack
四、五點的時候，一時興起修改 template，沒多久突然發覺 blog 開始連不上，FTP 也斷了線，先看看博士跟小柯的 blog 也無法連線，推想是 Dreamhost 出了問題。果然，在 DH weblog 得知 server 被 DDoS attack 的消息。
13:00 PST - Massive DDOS.
We’re currently getting attacked with a huge distributed denial-of-service attack, that is saturating our uplink. We’re in the process of dealing with it and hope to have things under control very soon..13:35 PST - DDOS coming under control..
We don’t yet have the attack totally stopped at our upstream providers, but we’ve null-routed the IP they were attacking internally so our internal network between our web servers and the netapps that hold their data is okay. We’re bringing up any machines that crashed now, and our uplink is no longer saturated as the attack is down to about 520mbs from the 1gbs+ it was originally. So, right now apart from a few crashed servers that should be up soon, everything should be working again.14:54 PST - DDoS Over
The DDoS has been null-routed by our upstreams and things have returned to normal! Dang kids!15:12 PST - Scratch that.
We’ve just started to get ANOTHER ddos to a new IP. Currently more than 1000mbs of traffic is coming in, saturating our uplink again. We’re working our hardest to get this new attack under control.15:33 PST - Better!
Okay, we fixed up the second DDOS, and things are better again.. we’re keeping a close eye out for anything else!
直到剛才，才慢慢恢復連線，雖然還被抱怨，不過處理速度已經算是相當快了。
不過..寫完這篇沒多久..
16:34 PST - Yet More DDoS
Well, the attackers are continuing to change the attack, we’re still working as hard as possible to stop this stuff! As they attack different machines in different ways, some of them are crashing, we’re getting things back online as quickly as possible.
看來隨時還是會有斷線的可能 Orz
