From: Kenneth Tilton on 5 Jul 2010 12:22 My first DoS attack!! That is so cool! I've hit the big time, I can see. Not in the mood yet for all that login/security stuff, so if the site's not up it's because I am not up. :) Not that I pay for bandwidth, but it did make the site unreachable. Coincidence, I am sure....PWUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself." Macworld

What exactly are you implying here? That somebody sent a botnet against your site, and that person was me? You are clearly insane. -- stefan

This is a long thread, I've made a lot of friends. Could be anyone. It could indeed also be a coincidence. I am sure there are lots of bots out there looking for trouble. > You are clearly insane.

And that after you've been told a number of times that sending HTTP requests for every single key event is a bad idea. Your application got itself DoS'ed by a single user who held down the "x" key too long, possibly even by accident, but you still managed to blame it on the group. Congratulations. Your "solution" for the client side was to not look at the requests. Maybe your server will feel better if you don't watch the logs? -- stefan

You might want to retrace your steps to find where you went wrong. It's prolly the hate, tho. kt -- http://www.stuckonalgebra.com "The best Algebra tutorial program I have seen... in a class by itself." Macworld |
