oscarslater, this is what a DDOS attack is:

"The DNS Backbone DDoS Attacks have been several significant Internet events in which distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS) have targeted one or more of the thirteen DNS root servers. These attacks are extremely significant, as the root nameservers function as the Internet backbone, translating text-based Internet hostnames into IP addresses. As the nameservers provide this service for DNS lookups worldwide, attacks against the root nameservers are attempts to disable the Internet itself, rather than specific websites."

nice job. wonder who's trying to take down BHW tho..

 

[serolf]

Was wondering what happened? Probably some script kiddy who can't wait to test some piece of software. Great job though for bringing up the site. Thank you.

Why does there mother fuckers attacking our server? Did we fucked someone's mother before?

 

[Diamond Damien]

Well we are still being ddos attacked. These things can last hours, days or weeks so it's hard to tell when it will end. I believe it's just a baby bot net so thankfully it's small enough and it won't effect the forum too much (4-20 mbits). trophaeum has been continuing to help out with this situation which is very nice of him

Re Wikipedia quote:
Except that this was not a DDoS against the root DNS servers, but against the one hosting BHW.

I haven't been able to get in all day using firefox- I get the following message:

The administrator is running FireWall Script to protect this site. A rule has been configured to block data you submitted. . . [and some more stuff]

I finally went and tried it on IE7 and no problems.

 

[boomboomer]

Just clear the cookies from BHW in ff and it'll start working fine ..

feel free to pm me your ip so i can see what rule was denying you access to try to fix this up, fws is randomly blocking valid users so it has to be toned down some more atm
