decimation: as in 'click
the .exe' or whatever variant
mircea_popescu: o look at
that! Mullenweg & automattic are responsible for a maximal 550 gbps, sustained indefinitely.
decimation: asciilifeform: if all
these boxes are exploited with
the same malwarez, does
that mean
that
the malwarez exploit
the same unpatched holes?
mircea_popescu: WordPress: Now Powering 50 Million Blogs -
The Next Web
mircea_popescu: now, at a conservative 50kb per page, each of
these installations comes
to ~11kbps sustained over a day.
mircea_popescu: but my point is,
this comes
to ~100 hits an hour from each of
these idiots. just slightly under, which means
the 100 was
the prospective rate set by
the attacker,
mircea_popescu: so anyway,
the ddos of qntra is dead. here are
the captions : 12`754`766 requests from 5397 unique wordpress installations.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for one
thing, 99% of
that 99% is
the same damned
three
trojans
decimation: for instance, bush jr, 'committed'
to putting a man on mars, which is obviously retarded for many reasons, not
the least of which being
that no one is in charge of nasa, and certainly not von braun
decimation: well, hitler also empowered von braunn, but also was 'committed'
to a retarded strategy
decimation: re: kennedy "committed" < but all he really did was quite unknowingly empower von braun, whose scheme it was in
the first place
assbot: dpaste: 3P3NYHZ:
trilema dig
copumpkin: (so if my connection drops,
that's probably why)
mircea_popescu: Leave a Reply You must be logged in
to post a comment. << obviously.
mircea_popescu: "That line right
there, if accepted into regulation, would be enough
to conclusively destroy any hope of a Bitcoin monetary
takeover. It effectively sets a 100% reserve requirement for Bitcoin banks, making it imposible for
the supply of Bitcoin
to expand in
the ways
that would be necessary for
the cryptocurrency
to displace conventional money."
bounce: "automatic
teller machine machine"
cazalla: cry because
they have no shoes (googled
that one)
diametric: I'm actually surprised kickstarter cancelled
this one.
mircea_popescu: Load Averages: 3.71 14.67 16.87 << you'll have
to do better
than
that babe!
assbot: This debunked Kickstarter project may be
the biggest crowdfunding fail
to date -
The Washington Post
BingoBoingo: Well just set up
tomorrow's log
to have 1st poast
kakobrekla: was hoping
to get
the first line of
the log for
the day and messed up
the first
try. ah well.
bounce: pity. might've
tried and stuck an accept filter in
there, see if
that drops
the load a bit
bounce: what is
that box running?
Adlai: the wrongest
target would be one
that patches
the vulnerability after infection
mircea_popescu: i mean sure, idiot users aren't patchable, so probably
the same box will surface again later
BingoBoingo: Oh, Another botnet
takes
the botnet.
Then
there's botnets in all of
the botnets.
mircea_popescu: what happens if i give you a list of ips of computers you know
to be vulnerable
to something ?
mircea_popescu: think about it. for a computer
to be in a botnet it has
to be vulnerable
to something, right ?
Adlai: well it'll still be effective against non-wrong
targets
mircea_popescu: (this is
the downside of ddos : fuck with
the wrong
target, lose your botnet)
assbot: Dave Chapelle: why
terrorists won't
take black people as hostage - YouTube
thestringpuller: "We have 3 hostages.
They are black. Hello? Hello?
They hung up."
thestringpuller: it's like
that chappelle joke about how
terrorist never
take black hostages
thestringpuller: "We want 1 mn for her safe return." "No
thx. You did me a favor kthxbai."
thestringpuller: if cop dramas portraying kidnapping were real, I'd
think
that'd be in
the media more often.
mircea_popescu: and
the response came
that "i might
take
that much
to
take her off your hands" ?
mircea_popescu: you know
the story about how
they kidnapped
that chick, sent a ransom note,
☟︎ undata: the risk is
they
take your women...
BigBitz: you're not poor, I know
that much.
thestringpuller: i don't understant
though fully. If hooligans have access
to botnets and can't monetize
them, why don't
they rent
them out for people
to attack other people?
jurov: well,
that's my proposal for qntra article: "Qntra was under DDoS sustained for 3 days.
Ther was no newsworthy scam activity in bicoinland during
this
time."
mircea_popescu: it
tellingly ends with a "better off dead
than communist"
mircea_popescu: resulting in a song, quite popular at
the
time, "mai bine huligan decit dictator", "better off a hooligan
than a dictator"
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller you know, hooligans is what ceausescu called
the dudes
that shot him.
BigBitz: I like how
they called my Anonymous.
mircea_popescu: jurov if
this is not only a pathetic effort, but a CROWDSOURCED pathetic effort ...
jurov: all scammers were
too busy ddosing
assbot: Logged on 17-10-2014 17:29:41; mircea_popescu: cool, so perhaps qntra should run a piece about how whoever nobody from coinfire divulged
today
that coinfire is in
the posession of signed letters by
the sec demanding
they do not publish information.
BingoBoingo: It
turns out no actual news happened while we were being DDOS'd so nothing else
to cover
mircea_popescu: BigBitz hey, wanna give an interview
to BingoBoingo about how it sucks
to be "interviewed" and so forth ?
