Oh good god the AI trap on the inkscape website has twelve million hits. That's the hidden url that bots are told not to index, but ai bots LOVE to hit that thing.

But attacks continue to increase.

I'm going to have to decide if I need to block t-mobile and other mobile carriers because of all the malware on android phones being used as ai bot sources.

⚠️ Arch Linux AUR Hit by Another DDoS Attack, Port 22 Access Disrupted / Linuxiac

｢ In other words, the protection system doesn’t yet handle incoming SSH connections on port 22, the method AUR package maintainers use to upload or update PKGBUILDs in their repositories. As a result, users cannot publish new packages, update existing ones, or fix build issues until full SSH functionality is restored ｣

We reached a point with #DDoS attacks are now affecting shared infrastructure — well beyond the intended targets.

Read on to learn about why networks need to address outbound DDoS traffic, and to build defenses as part of the network.

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!

Is anyone else getting a huge number of bot visits from servers in the Fastly network? I'm seeing junk traffic that approaches low level dDOS numbers and a huge chunk of it is coming from Fastly data centers.

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?
