beefche Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Am I the only one that is getting a strange message about loading lds.net when I click on it? It's something about protection by CloudFlair and it's checking my browser. It is taking about 10 seconds or so to load? And it's all of my computers (each one is using Chrome as the browser). It's just weird.... Anddenex, Saint Peter, skalenfehl and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vort Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 lds.net was down for ten minutes or so this morning. I assume they were putting this new security measure into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estradling75 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I get it.... I am wondering if CloudFlair is getting hit by (or thinks it is getting hit by) a Denial of Service attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mordorbund Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 On a different note, does anyone know why my DoS attack doesn't work anymore. I managed to bring the site down for a few minutes this morning, but I haven't been able to do it again since. Do I need to go distributed?

Mahone Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Cloudflare is often used by websites to protect themselves from DDOS attacks, and yes, the message you are seeing is a symptom of enabling the "I'm under attack" option within the cloudflare control panel. The only reason you'd do this is if someone was actively running a DDOS attack against your website, and that is probably why lds.net was offline for a few minutes too.The 5 second redirect you are seeing primarily means standard HTTP DDoS attack traffic will never hit the lds.net webserver. Instead, the load is taken by cloudflare themselves who have a much larger infrastructure and are more easily able to handle it.As long as cloudflare has been set up properly, it's actually really quite difficult to DDoS a website using it to the point that most attackers just give up.

Mahone Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Are you rotating your IP address? Spoofing might work in some cases.Likely a SYN attack and is usually well protected against at the network border. This kind of attack won't ever hit the webserver most likely, even without cloudflare protection. Edited June 13, 2015 by Mahone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
