Minor attack this morning
 In case you missed it, Rantburg came under attack this morning from, we think, northern Virginia.The script probably used wasn't very sophisticated, and the 300 spammed comments were more annoying than anything else. We do have tools that can be used to stop similar attacks, but we really can't prevent them. We only can prevent them from recurring. So the attacker(s) IP was banned and its cruft was cleaned out. We are working in the background with safety measures. As an example, the backup site is fully running. We advise you you only can access it between 30 minutes after and 59 minutes after owing to the task that server must perform. Unavoidable. But you can comment there, albeit they will be wiped in the next hourly update. A backup O Club is being worked on as we speak. A separate backup o-club, programmed in perl is here. It's pretty crude and rudimentary, but you can post messages there. You are free to move about the blog. Posted by: badanov 2022-11-17 |
