The 8 most common attacks on marketplaces, and how to defend against them.
Super interesting and important article by Mira and @boyan from Sharetribe.
Includes a sneak peek at our company Slack showing what really happens when there's an ongoing DDoS attack!

Cloudflare stops new world's largest #DDoS attack over Labor Day weekend https://www.zdnet.com/article/cloudflare-stops-new-worlds-largest-ddos-attack-over-labor-day-weekend/ by @sjvn
It was a whopper of an attack that topped out at 7.3 terabits per second.
It seems that community.nodebb.org is under a DDoS attack at the moment. We have enabled CloudFlare's "under attack" mode which has stopped the attack but it also has the unfortunate side effect of blocking all incoming ActivityPub traffic as well.
Interesting side effect. Will continue to monitor.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an external EUROPEAN DDoS protection service, like Cloudflare? 🤔
(I'm not asking for recommendations for a CDN, thanks.)

So my first evil genius robot honeypot, the word frequency one, seems to be getting hit by a distributed botnet.
It started around 2-3 requests per second but seems to be ramping up.
It's using IP addresses from all over the world - could be hacked personal devices? - and a wide range of plausible-looking User Agent strings.
My server is fine for now - 95% idle CPU.
Are there people for whom any of the IP or agent data might be useful? Botnet detectorists?
Heute Abend ab 19:30 Uhr bin ich für die @AG_KRITIS bei MDR Aktuell in den Nachrichten mit dabei zur #BKA Meldung gegen die #DDoS-Bande NoName057(16) und wie schlecht der #KRITIS Sektor #Staat und #Verwaltung dazu aufgestellt ist.

Yay! Just #DDOS myself through #fedi ! I feel it's a rite of passage. For those that don't know, when you have a bunch of followers and you link to a website, mastodon, and I'm assuming others, immediately attempts to resolve that. So every hosts checks I. To your server all at once and crushes it. 😄 lol but we live and learn. And we're making plans to prevent that in the future.

Attention server admins! Yesterday I've read a post by @simon_brooke how nasty AI scraper bots are attacking his self-hosted @forgejo instance. Soon after I'm seeing unusual, periodic traffic spikes on mine and again - dominated by OpenAI, but some other freeloaders too:
20.171.207.41 GPTBot/1.2
85.208.96.211 SemrushBot/7~bl
54.36.148.64 AhrefsBot/7.0
114.119.139.53 PetalBot
With GPTBot and SemrushBot attacking hardest 
They've been hammering my little server periodically today as well, slowing down my instance dramatically as if I was experiencing malicious DDoS attack 
Well, in a sense it is one 
Watch out - it seems corporate AI techbros learned to scrape 
content and starts doing it on a massive scale 
Remember when @Codeberg was (and repeatedly is) hit?
For now blocked IP ranges and User-Agent combinations, not sure for how long that will be enough 
Please boost for visibility and be prepared!
