Postmortem Regarding mid-September downtime

[Null]

Our friends have been paying for malicious acts against 1776 Hosting, the service I've recently put up for high-risk websites. They are trying to alienate my customerbase by attacking them and increasing downtime.

Our .onion URL will continue to work regardless of if the clearnet domains go down.

If you don't know how Tor works now's a great time to figure it out while I deal with this. I'm currently juggling a lot at once.

(And p.s., my hosting service in no way pays for itself. You don't hurt the KF by hurting 1776.)


- Attack happened again at about 13:57 UTC. I was prepared this time.
- Attack happened again at 21:31 UTC 9/19.

MundaneMatt has gone too far this time.

.onion site keeps timing out for me. Other onions are working fine. Not a big deal when clearnet is working, though.

Fixed. Accidentally blocked Tor while hardening the server.

On the bright side they're helping you find all of your server's vulnerabilities so before long you'll be the most secure host in the world. If you think of it that way it's kind of nice of them. Silver linings and all.

Thank you.

Working fine now.

And all this time I thought it was because Hurricane Aunt Flo is in town round these parts unknown.

How hard would it be to host a xenforo-like forum on zeronet? maybe peer-hosted forums will be the future.

 

[Cedric_Eff]

Oof, the furries struck hard I guess.

 

[Ulquiorra Cifer]

Hope it clears up. Sounds like 11 different kinds of awful.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

This is definitely the time to beef up security. No more fucking around.

You dont fuck with don sargone and live to tell the tale

Can we have a poll for which lolcow for who is to blame for the downtime?

I say it’s good ol’ Sammy

I really, really do hope good luck will attend the KF in these matters. Darknet access or not, using TOR feels like using Firefox with an old Micron laptop on a Russian Arctic island.

 

[Nick Gars]

God damn glowing CIA nigger cattle, leave our site alone.

 

[Pepito The Cat]

Another sign we're doing god's work by keeping an open platform for criticizing whatever fuckup perpatrated the attack.

 

[Jack Awful]

Sorry Null, you're already dead...

 

[Hecate]

Thanks null. I had a feeling something like that had happened, but there was no way for me to check

I wonder if whoever did it will be stupid enough to brag about it on twitter
