Tech update...
2006-04-09
System's been stable since I kicked the BVOE.de people out. We're still under attack by someone from bt.net in the UK. They've been hammering us for about 36 hours now. Eventually they'll go away, I think, since they're just bouncing off the iptables. So we seem to have weathered that crisis.

I spoke too soon. We're still being hammered on port 80 as of 12.30. I've blocked one IP address is Illinois, and I'm trying to run down the rest. This is getting tiresome.

If you can't get in, use www.research.com or rantburg.com:81

#7  You know (and you didn;t hear this from me) there are places on the web where you can download "email bombs" that can be targeted on these bastards.

Not that I would condone such activities, but there are lots of other little "hacker attack" programs that could cause these sobs no end of their own problems.

Now, if I can just get a ticket to the UK to personally thank the chaps on bt.net....

#5  The things we've all learnt since Rantburg came on-line! Fred, your brain must be as big as a house by now. My thanks to you and our colourful moderators for continuing to shoulder the burden to keep this wonderful place open for business.
