mircea_popescu: ;;google 688 attack sub ms-dos
Adlai: it may indeed be a DoS on minds, withholding relevant problems by suggesting subtly irrelevant ones in their stead
mircea_popescu: "If the siteA string is empty, it is taken to be the local machine. A target like @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@victim would cause high load by recursive finger invocations, and could be used to contribute to a DOS attack. Michael H. Warfield reports that in a SUN NIS environment it is easy to kill a network using finger."
nubbins`: all the dos are white and all the don'ts are black
nubbins`: magazine publishes "fashion dos and don'ts"
asciilifeform: or dos port would have been simple.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Schools used to tend towards Mac fo a reason and that was Nvir vs all those damn DOS & Windows virii
brendafdez: Well, my first computer was a Pentium 100 Mhz with 8 MB RAM that my parents bought in 1996, I stayed with that thing until 2005 or so. For many years that meant that I used DOS and Win3.11 daily bc W98 was too much for that piece of hardware. Once around 1999/2000 I borrowed from a friend a linux book which came with a Red Hat CD but dual booting was not an option (also the HDD was like 500 MB). It brings back memories seeing those in
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "my ms dos fixedsys display is graphical"
saifedean: it'd be swimming with british stag dos and russian billionaires otherwise
punkman: so did you get DoS'd the other day?
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: dos was not, properly speaking, a microshit product
thestringpuller: i can't bring myself to hate on DOS
thestringpuller: that runs on microshit dos
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i love old microshit tho. found a copy of 3d studio R1 from 1990, and it runs on ms dos
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think whoever they are is in the DoS loop
BingoBoingo: Stunna: Some asshole has a DoS bot running
BingoBoingo: Asenath: Well on freenode you prolly want to pick up a cloak to avoid mystery DoS bot.
mike_c: kakobrekla, are you/assbot getting dos'd?
BingoBoingo: But the FCC internet will give users Fat Pipes, to better DoS real people with.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: BitcoinXT is the hearn foundation Bitcoin fork which has all kinds of features even Gavin rejected because they make nodes incredibly more DoS attackable
BingoBoingo: starzz_: Also you probably want to go to #freenode and request a cloak, some asshole intermittently runs a DoS bot here
punkman: pseudonode also useful for DoS experiments and such
Adlai: sorry, this one: http://spritesmods.com/?art=hddhack&page=6 "The Western Digital firmware upgrade tools proves this is possible: it's basically a tool you run under DOS to put new firmware to both the flash and the service area aka the reserved sectors of the hard disk."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> laptop, palmtop (can get ms-dos!) etc << Sharp Zarus
asciilifeform: laptop, palmtop (can get ms-dos!) etc
mircea_popescu: today it's not a particularly valuable dos attack on bitcoin because whatever, 1mb blocks.
ben_vulpes: constantly adding in dos line endings
asciilifeform: but that's what makes it a dos
mircea_popescu: just a dos ?
BingoBoingo: onewhosits: More just some vandal has a bot that lurks and DoS's connections as it seens them join. Cloak should be enough to defeat that. To connect with Tor you'd need a cloak anyway.
BingoBoingo: Hides your IP, because it is hard to tell when DoS bot will return
mircea_popescu: this ensures that trying to ram-dos the node would require as many different nodes as a fifth of the total number of blocks it can hold.
BingoBoingo: Just have to remember that carelessly configured ntp accessible on the network is one of the DoS amplification venues we hate

asciilifeform: dos
BingoBoingo: Because when your hammer is a DoS, every nail is a website
dignork: so it normally cannot read your /dev/whatever to check the physical location, but sure, it's potentially DOS/crash, not an effective code execution.
dignork: decimation: cool paper, scary, otherwise I didn't bother to calcualte probabilities for uncontrolled random scenario, or non-DOS attack vector.

Anduck: kakobrekla: indeed. why would someone dos some random people at irc
Anduck: so, the 'experience' would be you trying to dos me?
mircea_popescu: NAT. We also show that a natural countermeasure of using Tor or other anonymity services can be cut-off by abusing anti-DoS countermeasures of the bitcoin network. Our attacks require only a few machines and have been experimentally verified. We propose several countermeasures to mitigate these new attacks.
