Summary of Virmach 2020 Black Friday Cyber Week Deals:
Under Maintenance
I've replied to your ticket but just so everyone else knows, this was due to @jbiloh abusing his authority at ColoCrossing to make a personal decision, enforcing their AUP unfairly and outside of regular procedures.
Jon thought that you were DDoSing LowEndBox.com based on data that clearly looks like you were just sending 28,000 requests over 24 hours to his website. I have asked ColoCrossing not to do this in the past, but I guess they do not see this as being highly problematic, when they get to decide to nullroute an IP address if they do not like what you are doing, instead of just blocking it on their webserver and filing an abuse report like everyone else. They prefer being judge, jury, and executioner when it comes to people using their network to access their website(s) in ways they do not prefer. It's even worse when their network "engineers" do not understand what constitutes an attack and when their non-engineers pretend to be network engineers.
Coming soon: Jon Biloh blocks thousands of malicious "Google" subnets from accessing all of ColoCrossing's network for crawling his website performing layer 7 content stealing attacks.™
This is a bug, we have to finish going through these manually.
I have the same problem. Will you guys do it yourself or do I need to create a ticket for this? In any case, I am not in a hurry
No need for a ticket, we can run queries.
@VirMach how to pay for invoices if billing do not work
Didn't he said he "purchased LET/LEB from CC" like a few months back?
I mean the fuck is this, he still works for them, why would he need to purchase it?
Please enlighten me, also that discord chat is still full of CC admin's, good joke @jbiloh.
y0 @ddhhz can you tell me why you are scrapping LowEndBox so hard? That blog is almost empty!1oneoeneoneon
Few people that were mocking "LET is under DDOS attack" gonna have a field day with that screen.
@VirMach please never give CF stats for billing.virmach.com to these guys , there will be a lot of DDOS there for sure and half of the world blocked /s
@VirMach Thanks for taking a look!!
@JabJab Lol it was just one machine so DoS at best. It's for a PSB (public service bot) during the LET flash sale -

It is fetching the latest comments on that thread specifically once every 3 seconds (I didn't think it was hitting it that much tbh), I even commented on the post and mentioned @jbiloh asking him to lessen CloudFlare shield as my bot isn't that sophisticated and was blocked by CF Shield.

and he even replied

Clearly my bot was mistaken with other DDoS traffic or he would have asked me to stop the bot instead of lifting CF blocks and letting me in~
@ddhhz so, you think this is fine? I guess it's because of your likes we couldn't buy anything from @VirMach. isn't funny.
My bot was accessing LET, not VirMach. Please re-read the thread.
The changes are coming...
Roses are red,
Violates are blue,
Biloh Lies,
Who would have knew?
I presume by that logic,
AS36352 should have been blocked,
But hey why would he do that?
He likes to be mocked.
@VirMach just know it will be tough,
But don't make your mind narrow.
Biloh is trying to make it rough,
So RackNerd can swallow.
This is a mafia,
Where Dust-iloh commits crime.
Thus I end my story,
Because the EndIsNeigh.
Are mommy and daddy getting a divorce?

The link to AS36352 is broken. Could you fix it?

Works here.
He edited it.
Ah! aha
oh! ha
I should post a poem.
But later.
Hoe hoe.
I'm curious to see the communications where Virmach doesn't take action and CC then does. That's where the shouting starts. Jon's emotions will be out, as I'm sure was Virmach's.
Doesn't sound like Jon is a "consultant" as much as a "contractor", which I consider different in this context.
@VirMach Invoice is due. Unable to pay. Please do something.
Thanks.
Jon very much works there and it appears like he runs the sales department. He handles all colo customers (there's been plenty of rants on discord), and probably handles most of the forums/budget side.
I think they have some other people (Chris?) handling the local B2B stuff.
Anyway, Jon has the ability to block the attacking IP on the CF firewall and then alert Virmach of the issue where they'd suspend the VM. It was most likely pretty obvious (amount of IP's assigned, RDNS on records, the freakin' hostname in billing) that it was a VPS node so this was pretty heavy handed.
A nullroute on the IP would've worked just fine since then the IP would've been unable to complete the connection to CF.

So @VirMach any update for us? ^.-
