That was before they launched their DDOS protection in July last year. Now they do not care how big the DDOS attack is & can easily mitigate upto 480 Gbps/Mpps attacks.
LOL using the scapegoat of stress test. It illegal or unethical, how ever you want to put it. Sorry but you condone such actions just raises red flags to what else you will over look to make a dollar. Sorry down playing the situation doesn't help out either. Peace out!
It isn't either illegal or unethical if permission is given. I haven't once condoned it and allowing someone to DDoS me isn't going to make me a 'quick dollar' or any dollar at all for that matter.
if you know any alternative methods to test a DDoS protection from a customer side then please share it with us instead of talking about scapegoats. are you just going to take the host's word for it? what if they are being unethical themselfs and lie about the protection? you wouldn't know because you didn't test it.
Can't stand the praise & appreciation of other hosts? There is pretty much nothing wrong with stress testing for 30 seconds as it is not going to affect anything as he has OVH's PRO DDOS Protection on every IP.
Why would OVH mind it is beyond me.They are offering DDOS protection so anyone who wants to sign up with them for that reason does have the right to do so! OVH have 1 Tbps+ spare bandwidth only to mitigate attacks.
BTW I am not a provider as of today & nor do I have any association with DDOS-Host but I still anything clients to do have the right to confirm that if what they are ordering is gonna serve the purpose or not.
Pretty common example of that is Voxility's DDOS Protection where a simple UDP flood can take your server down even though you are paying hundreds of Euros for protection.
I dont know about voxility they look solid to me but again, I dont take someone's word on it. Its just good to always test it.
Do you seriously think people are able to generate 10Gbps attacks without using illegal botnets?
some datacenters have a 10gbit uplink network?
I have tested Voxility's DDOS Protection in the past & it was useless.
Voxility actually nulls users for 6 hours if they get somewhat small layer 7 attacks.
Also @Mark_R yea basically, the hoster doesn't actually know much about ddos attacks nor how to defend against them, I even asked him about it got the good old "Sorry but you don't want to buy anything good bye" in the face like they always do.
That sucks, that is why I never would choose OVH resellers for services that need DDoS protection (assuming you talk about ddos-host.net.)
I refused to talk to him on Skype as he randomly added me without me giving him my skype to tell me that he had basically send a DNS DDoS attack to my site. I dislike him as a person on here so I see no reason to have him on my Skype contact list.
I didn't tell you anything about me hitting anything, I asked a simple question about you knowing about ddos attacks.
Not all hosts are like that.I know some resellers who know a lot! Based on my experience I would say simple rule of thumb is whoever can configure/offer KVM or XEN on OVH is quite knowledgeable about hosting in general & DDOS attacks too.You know why? Because it really is a pain in the *** to configure those on OVH's network. OpenVZ is same like all other networks of the world just install Solus, click click & there you go.
Wow. Is there any filtering at LET or there is an anarchy?
This is just another 1000+ OVH reseller and the "review" is just a trolling
OVH Ddos Protection is really not that good.
You seem to know an awful lot about their network capabilities for someone who is very against stress-testing...
Ehm were I ever against stress testing?
I don't think I ever stated I was and I've used ovh and many other services so I know a lot about them.
If you didn't have express permissions from all networks involved, it was done illegally (in writing, even). Slice it up or rationalize any way you want, this is the way it is.
