They arent running a basic tcp attack or anything, its a lot of botnet traffic being used. To the point earlier there was only 12 million requests to the site in 1 hour.

Offer some type of reward for proof of who is responsible for the attack. Texts, emails, whatever.
somebody might drop a dime for reinstatement and/or reward.

So I can't use tapatalk and I've been using the website. Alot of the YouTube videos when I click to play them , it starts off fine but a few seconds into them it looks like I'm trying to watch the porn channels on old school cable tv.

Your initial assessment read like wanna-be teen hackers poking around seeking validity or just practicing their skills.
The latest attack seems like a full scale invasion requiring resources beyond that of a recreational hacker. Yet, for no apparent reason other than what equates to vandalism or personal punishment directed at you. No monetary rewards, unless practice makes perfect and they're using your site to hone their skills for something bigger and more lucrative ??
Seems as though this tends to dismiss the possibility they could simply be motivated by accepting the challenge after you successfully defended their initial onslaught and decided to punch back.
Cloudflare offers some good explanations of various types of attacks. As a basically analog guy I had no idea such wars were being waged constantly over the internet.

Just as physical wars are real money makers, seems as though these digital internet wars are likewise and there's mega millions to be gained apparently waging the war as much as defending against it.
Point being, for the ones tasked and profiting from defending, there's little motivation to create the ultimate defense mechanism, well, because job security. 🤔

That's been going on since before this started. And it doesn't happen every time!

I'd guess YouTube has done something to cause that. Cause if you click on the title, and watch it on their site, it works fine.

They want you to be on their site.

Someone is actively monitoring our countermeasures and the moment we let off to make it less intrusive for you guys they ramp it up again.

Ultimately they will run out of money sooner or later.
got this several times today

Oh I know.. I have sent @Admin Dude messages, I'm trying to get it resolved.

I'm not a computer guy, but there has to be some solution to this. I was presented with an expensive solution at one point, I'm prepared to pay it, but I want gaurantees if I spend that kinda money it's the end all solution.

there is... you need to be hiding your origin server(s). its sitting there in plain sight for them to constantly attack. you also need to scale up if you want this to go away. slapping cloudflare in front of it doesnt fix anything.

and most importantly.... be humble. this "we're gonna get the FBI involved and we're gonna chop off their hands!" public attitude just makes it worse. The only reason you're seeing your site is because they're letting you. Dont underestimate the power of someone bored on the internet with basically infinite resources to drown your servers into the ground and as deep as your credit card will allow. Also no gov agency gives two craps about a boat website going offline, they're too busy looking for some guy in the Bahamas right now. The only thing online they get involved with is kid porn and credit card scamming.

My $.02... just a little guy who runs some high traffic sites.

Same ^^^^^ I just got shut out on PC, Chrome for about an hour. Did not have to log back in. Refresh did it although I had already done that a number of times. I had already cleared cookies etc with no impact.

You don't have permission to access /forums/rds-lounge.2/ on this server.
Took me a while before got in. The commie bastards are watching the traffic here Dave. As long as Big Tech is on the liberals side, these attacks will never end. Only fighting fire with fire could change that. Conservative sites are in the cross hairs now.

:mad:

This is unbelievable.. someone is actually spending a lot of money to fuck with RDP..

I'm going to give you three guesses as to who it is and the first two don't count.

Some asshole leftist with some computer connections. I can appreciate that being that this website it pretty conservative.. but I hope they know that it isn't just me or the membership they are messing with, but rather a lot of businesses and employees that are supported by this community.
Grade School behavior for sure😏

FBI apparently has a program to stop international wire fraud (FFKC) over X number of dollars within a certain period of time. We are talking $80k dollars here, I call the FBI, submit the report, call again and they say sit tight, an agent will call you. 6 months and $80k gone, still waiting for a call....

He's telling you the exact same thing I told you last night, in different words.

Scale up. More HP.

Someone needs to diagnose where the issue is, then scale up (add HP) where needed.
