OcUK DDoS attack - £10,000 reward

[Wossi]

Bumpage.


I am glad of the publicity as at least some attention should lead to Sales which in some way will make up for the losses.

The Register does itself No favours at all with it's UNIFORMED description of Us users
If it cannot describe us correctly it cannot describe Anything correctly, We are an Open & Friendly community & hardly Top secret Hacker types, That is just Laughable.

To be fair, ocuk and The Register aren't exactly on "speaking terms" from other articles I've read over the years.

Are you saying they are Bias + + +

From what I'm reading, a lot of people dislike ocuk for some reason

Can't understand this myself as We are an Inclusive community not Exclusive, Anybody & I mean Anybody is Welcomed here with Open arms & Gone are the days of Brutal put downs to nubs etc.

You Love Capital Letters, Don't You?

The comments on the register are laughable, the support here is much better than most e-tailers! There is even a support forum now, but whenever i've called up and had a problem, they've always been straight to the point and efficient.

I think they're confused about employees nice cars, as there are many members on here with some really decent motors.

Fools

 

[pioneer2000]

My word there are a load of smartass fools over at a crap competitors site! I never realised loads of people from here had defected!

As you have been Fairly polite about it I shall explain.
The capitals are to Emphasise certain words

Ignored him like I have the ignorant people.

Back on topic please this thread has a Serious agenda (see what I did there )

I wonder if the attack has been switched to the Shop only to stop annoying the Masses ?
Or perhaps the attacker is running out of funds therefore using his resources on what hurts most.

Care to explain how this attack would cost money?

I'm a bit confused.. I thought if they were using a botnet they were just sitting back and using their "drones" to do the heavy lifting?

Thanks

Eh? I think you'll find plenty of people on here frequent all sorts of forums. This isn't the only site on the internet, you know

is there no way to trace a DDOS? i thought a DDOS was repeatadly pinging a router/server ect. untill it can't take no more and falls over. so there should be some kind of log for what the traffic has been.

Problem with a DDOS is that its distributed (not a single IP address).

Also they may just be faked IP Address's. Most DDOS's use syn packets in a so called syn flood technique. Syn is the first packet a computer sends when setting up a connection to a remote server, and is the first step in the 3 way TCP handshake. Because the handshake does not complete you do not need to use your real IP address (your goal is not to setup a legit connection), you can just generate thousands of syn packets every second with random source address's, and aim them at someones web server. The end result of all this is the web server's TCP stack gets filled up with all these new connection requests that are waiting to complete their handshack, and becomes overloaded.

The shop site is slow for me at the moment must be happening now.

Maybe if they change the domain for the shop for a tempory time it may help against dos attacks for a while? Maybe if they re modulate the domains every couple of mins it'll help? And make overclockers.co.uk redirect?

Don't know if it's as easy as remodulating the shields in start trek though
