Downtime

[yeppie]

Good people of sexsoundlovers, I´m sorry for the massice downtime we experienced during the last days. We have been under heavy attack of chinese assholes with small dicks which lead to massive cpu overload followed by server crashes.

Until now I was able to stop this only for short periods but the fight will go on until those bastards are gone.

Out of interest, is this a SSL specific attack because of the site content or just some dickheads picking a site at random?

The latter I guess.

chinese ass-h#$% with small dicks

Nice description, Yeppie. So, they are obviously not genetically related to DXM or Eightman, LOL!!

I would bet my medium sized one on that )
Of course this wasn´t meant to be a racist remark. I was just angry and I still am. But I guess there might be nice Chinese people, too.They just don´t visit this site as often as those not so nice Chinese do.

hire someone to do some penetration testing on this site for vulnerabilities.

Yeah, I would. Indeed I began to setup a small team but we need more power and more expertise. So, any real expert out there? You are urgently needed!

I have to get this site running again until saturday because from sunday on I´m going to be travelling for three weeks. I will be able to do the usual administration of the board but I won´t be able to do serious work on the server.

This is about the future of this community - if you are an expert in server management, please send a message to yeppie63@email.de as soon as possible.

Update: Just placed an order on Fiverr - the server is currently being inspected by a Linux expert. Another expert for security investigations is standing by.

Bob, can we fix this?

3 Weeks? Hope you'll have some nice audio treats to bring back!

I will be prepared

and it is work and travel ... 3 days of work, 18 days of fun.

Their dicks were even smaller than I assumed they were but I have to confess that the Chinese attacks seem not to be the cause for the server crashes. There is a bug in the OS that causes memory leaks and we are still working on fixing it. In the meantime my newly found Sri Lankan server expert established a workaround that stopped the server from crashing again so far - without fixing the underlying bug.

Hopefully there won´t be anymore server crashes but if anything should happen, a few guys know how to restart the system.

Finally (hopefully) a big Thank You to Sc0tt and Reggind for their crucial assistance to find the reasons for the server crashes and to avoid this site being down during my three weeks absence!

Furthermore, although the OS bug isn´t fixed, the workaround seems to be good enough to keep the server from crashing (mostly).
