#1 Look at me, I'm crying here. DOS attacks make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Happy Turkey Day Fred, I'll be rattling the tip jar.

#2 He threw in an annoying glitch to the Submit Query that just redirected you to some other website.

#6 Dunno. Haven't been in on the details - and if he's any good he's coming through anonymizers anyway. Fred probably has some IP trace but I don't know how useful it is ...

#12 If the site is down, try www.wotresearch.com. It's another way in.

The attack today wasn't specifically directed at Rantburg. It was directed at our hosting company, and it looks like all that sites on that internet connection were affected.

I've been trying to find the source of our periodic slowdowns. It may have been looking in the wrong place every night for the past couple of weeks.

#13 I find it supremely ironic that DOS has finally become known as Denial Of Service. Any takers?
