*wow*

Just got a VM back from Mark regarding why the server that hosts Stockyjock.com, KenoshaGarou.com and my e-mail has been non-responsive sporadically over the last week.

Turns out that someone is blasting the machine with >4Mb/sec...

At first, we thought it might be someone trying to mine/mirror/copy one or all of the sites on the machine, but all the traffic is *inbound* not outbound. So it looks like we're getting hit with a massive DoS attack.

Oh. Joy. More news later as I get it...

Hmmm... That's just odd.

Part of me is wishing there was some way ISPs could "watch" the bandwidth going out and after 2 hours of the same traffic from the same machine to the same machine ON the same port with no data coming BACK... cancel the stream.

I mean, even MP3 Streams require responses.
