irc == Ddos in the UK?
So I am doing some research with all the hosts latley that have had to pull out of the UK from getting Ddosed to death
DotVPS = Allowed IRC
EaseVPS = Allowed IRC
NodeDeploy = Allows IRC
Inception = Allows IRC
StomVZ = Does not allow IRC
UGVPS = Allowed IRC
If you can think of some others just trying to see if there is a pattern.

Wow, case solved.
Lets me see, they also all provided:
OpenVZ
UK Servers
Ram
SolsuVM
Hard drives
Etc...
I dont think its related.. Of course it is going to seem that way if the majority allowed IRC.... IRC is totally unrelated. The attack was moving across the subnets, not targeting one VPS.
Its not just the uk providers who allow IRC, so why should this be a reason at all?
It is the BBC.
Just researching. As to see if there is some common link.
I don't think that they could afford these attacks. They barely got any money left after Cameron's cuts. haha
There is a common link, they all sell servers in the United Kingdom.
Can't be exactly related to one thing. IRC may well be part of it yet I've been with 2-3 premium/managed hosts and they have no issue what so ever.
I am trying to figure out something a little research. Something that ties this all together. To me there has to be something that makes sense. Random attacks don't make sense.
The Royal Wedding, Jubilee and the Olympics ran them dry.
@LukeT what hosts that are premium/managed do you speak of. I want to read the TOS.
Ahahaha.
I agree with you, but don't you think its just a costumer moving from one provider to another? Or, as many others mentioned before, a competitor wants to say who's the daddy.
Phoenix VPS = Allows IRC
Uh SWBroadband + WebFusion are the ones I remember
Haha, @Benedikt & @MrAndroid. Good !
@marcm Phoenix VPS = UK????
Phoenix VPS is Phoenix AZ AFAIK. From what I know of the DDOS protection possibly secured servers specifically.
@ShardHost My point exactly is with UK hosts, trying to find the common bond.
UK Servers
Ram
SolsuVM
Hard drives
Etc...
You left out the most important similarity between all of these hosts: they all provided IP addresses and the attacks all targeted IP ranges!
Simple solution: ban IP addresses and the DDoS problem is solved!
@DomainBop funny!
Now being serious. Any other LEB providers I am missing from the UK that may have been ddosed?
http://www.lowendbox.com/tag/uk/
Phew, that was hard.
I went through that list and looked for ones I could remember being ddosed. Any that were ddos'ed that I didn't list?
Although I think this is a pointless exercise, should maybe make a list of UK providers that have not publicly announced DDOS and compare.
Is this not just the case of poor DC choices? How transparent have DCs been with these providers?
I want these to stop just trying to figure out what they all have in common besides the stupid answers people have posted. I want to know why other providers who are not LET members are not having as many problems.
Yeah, let's make a target list ffs, seriously, not all providers think it's a good idea to Shout about it.
Then post them here so they know who they've missed.
Is it just hosts in RapidSwitch + UKServers getting attacked? I've noticed most going towards RapidSwitch but correct me if I'm wrong
I don't believe in random acts. There is always motive or a reason. I know that people think that the irc thing is crazy, but there is a reason that Hostdime, Burst, Phoenix Nap don't allow irc.
