Kind of. He is reporting my URL to other WordPress blogs and thus those blogs check my site to validate the ping back.
15 req/s is not detrimental in my opinion. Something must be misconfigured. It seems maybe PHP-CGI is hanging and possibly causing an OOM condition but it just seems odd that such a small amount of requests will cause this, especially without Wordpress installed. What attack vector is he using then, if not PHP/WP/XMLRPC?
Ahhhhh, that makes a little more sense.
I would check your configs, 15req/s isnt that intensive.
I've got my calculations wrong. I was reading the log and estimating how many requests I am seeing in a single second but the server must be overloaded enough not to log all requests because CloudFlare is showing this.
1m hits over an hour will average 277/s.
Someone is still trying but they're failing miserably.
Your site is down for me.
Even the Search form from here is scared of sz1 )
It's being mitigated and it's back up.
I'm not sure, though scuttlebutt is he's at least involved in it. There's a conversation where he is denying involvement but asking Spirit to remove this thread and there's a conversation where he admits involvement. Either way, if anybody did still trust him, I'd recommend they do not do so anymore.
Other than that, he seems to have attacked at least two other providers and probably my website as well. That was not today but before today.
Is there nobody we can report this to? I mean what are the odds that every time someone trashes him, they get DDoS'd by someone else? He has a history of this kind of behavior all around him. There must be someone who we can report this to and get his miserable butt in trouble with. Maybe his mom?
Odds are certain. Yesterday he informed me after an attack that my website was back up, literally just as the attack stopped, claimed to have checked my site and it was up. I checked my logs and sure enough the attack had stopped but he had not accessed the site. Only other way he'd of known the attack had stopped would be if he were involved somewhere/somehow.
Yeh, I've since seen irc transcripts that I imagine contain the conversations you're referring to.
At first I didn't even know what he wants again. This guy is really annoying...
edit: nvm I'm blind.
Same lines were pasted twice Edited.
That transcript is funny shit. How szsocial/Shaf can honestly be under the illusion that anything he says is taken seriously/has any weight to it is comical.
I think it would be a good idea to pin this thread and leave it on top for a week or so
Well knowing SZnub is watching this thread, I would just like to say from the bottom of my heart.
He couldn't even string two sentences together when he first started to post here.
I'm shocked anybody bought services from him.
And obviously, he still can't.
@Pwner ,
I love that on one hand he appears to be threatening you guys and on the other claiming his innocence. Very classy.
Who knows, he may genuinely be thick enough to believe no one suspects him.
I do not suspect him, of being human that is.
nope, he does not do ddos stuff, his friends do for him. thats what he and his friends are claiming.
Friends. As if he has friends.
groan We need that Facepalm gif again.
-- EDIT --
Seems LET is still having problems. It refused at first to accept my comment at first and I hadn't realised Search was down.
Shame, treat everyone like that and they'll get no custom at all...
My comment wasn't meant to shift blame to the victim. It was meant to emphasize the importance to doing just a little bit of research on the people and/or companies that one chooses to do business with to minimize the risk.
