Massive dos attack is why we were down from around 6 pm yesterday. Some people are not so much into this free speech concept.

I wondered about that, this close to an election it was odd that you were quiet.
Also, looked like the Herald got attempted DOS last night ~8 pm, but they gave up.

The DOS attack would have coincided with simultaneous DOS attacks on the Standard and Frog Blog……….

Hmm… odd. More a personal grudge kind of action IMO. A dos attack serves no purpose politically as far as I can see.

For the cyber-illiteratati such as myself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

A DoS attack can be perpetrated in a number of ways. The five basic types of attack are:

>>Consumption of computational resources, such as bandwidth, disk space, or processor time.
>>Disruption of configuration information, such as routing information.
>>Disruption of state information, such as unsolicited resetting of TCP sessions.
>>Disruption of physical network components.
>>Obstructing the communication media between the intended users and the victim so that they can no longer communicate adequately.

New thread….

Last night there were two polls – TV one and TV 3. This morning NZ Herald published.
The results are Nats up, Labour up (whisker), Act up, Maori up, Peters down and up (to 4.9).
The Herald poll has always given Peters more than any other. The TV 3 poll last evening showed him down. Given slightly different timing (a day or so) and slightly different numbers (Herald is smallest at 700 odd) it is the average that is important, though one cannot disregard trends.
What these seem to show is that tea pot is giving Peters some life but not damaging Nats

The mobile version of the site was still available, I’d guess that front end is hosted on Mobify’s servers? Comments weren’t available even through mobile, I guess they’re all hosted on the main server and the mobile front end pulls them from there. The main site is hosted by Inspire? If so then I’m guessing they had disruption for other customers as well – so whoever DOS attacked Kiwiblog also probably disrupted service for many others as well.
Just childish and selfish whoever the script kiddies were. I’m guessing Labour youth.

Whilst I’m sure that DPF has his finger on the pulse and knows the cause for the outage, perhaps there was another reason???

Maybe the spit and crap from someone who spouts relentlessly has finally dribbled onto the keyboard/ short circuited a processor in the laptop and the resulting power spike has shot down the internet connection to totally bugger the server. But for that to occur, someone would have to average ~28 comments per day (or ~850 per month)!

Nah… Surely not? 😛

We get quite significant spikes on odd occasions at the standard – usually spambots or spiders gone wrong. Mostly they get caught in the iptables rules and cause no significant issues. Unfortunately those rules have to be quite loose because of the google bots and other spiders – which look a lot like a DOS sometimes. A process checks the logs and highlights anything that I might need to look at. I usually just cut off whole IP ranges from talking to parts of the system.

We haven’t had any issues in the last week apart from traffic increases. I cut off relations with Nepal four weeks ago (distributed spam comments). Some sections of rackspace in the UK two weeks ago. And some local IP who was repeatably trying to read the entire site too damn fast last week.

DDOS attacks are what I tend to worry about. That one from Nepal was doing some nasty things to the loading on the US server.

I see that the overlapping Localist Ad problem is here as well. I just disabled our sections where it was displaying because it was destroying layout

[DPF: According to Inspire, these attacks were mainly from Sweden of all places!]

RN: Only if you define a lefty gang as “people that I disagree with”. I think that Tev has managed to argue with almost everyone in comments at one time of another from several different angles. Including me and all the moderators. The long and turgid discussions on tensile strengths under heat still haunt my moderation dreams. Just as the word “retrospective” does whenever I see the name “burt”. Moderators have to read a lot of material of dubious interest to them.

But I do find many of the right commentators to be most notable for their distinctive flocking behaviors and inability to think outside of their narrow frames of thought bequeathed by their families (they even baa together when I get a mob through if one of their leaders is in trouble). So I suspect that a lefty is a person you disagree with is probably exactly the definition that you really use.

Prior to the 2008 election a comment by Irish Bill cemented by swing to the right (hence Right Now). I don’t like your commenters, they are nasty (much like Labour MPs)

Anyway, Labour won’t be getting my vote for two main reasons – a return to more powerful unionism will not help NZ, and they are riddled with senior MP’s that I find nasty and vitriolic. They seem to think they are born to rule and NZ made a big mistake not voting for them. You’d think they’d wise up and change their attitude, but no sign of that happening.
As for the Greens – I would be scared shitless if they got any sway over economic policy.

travellerev – I had a look at the link. It starts off with a prolonged and rather poorly worded personal attack, and then proceeds to make a series of vague allegations, tenuously based on John Keys mere proximity to one or two allegedly unsavoury characters.

There is nothing substantial there at all. Just hopeful muckraking.

RightNow,

I appreciate your candour and this attempt at a halfway decent conversation. So I’ll honour that with some info about where I come from.

I arrived in this beautiful country only six years ago with my Kiwi husband of 25 years. I don’t have a history with either National or Labour and if I could vote would cast my vote for neither.

I was given the opportunity to study international finance and the main politicians of this country and what I found out about John Key worried me greatly and all I do is share that info you can take it and do with it what you want but I think this is info every Kiwi has to read before making a choice. That’s all.

I think most National voters are decent hard working people and so are most other folk in this country but I think that most of them are woefully under informed by a mainstream media which whether you think of yourself as right or left does not give people the information they need to make informed decisions.

It really comes down to this: who do I think will do the least long term damage to NZ? National have taken a very middle of the road approach (you’ll see them often referred to as Labour Lite) and have (in my opinion) done a reasonable job of handling a global economic downturn and the CHCH earthquakes.
I don’t see any great talent in Labour that could do any better. The Greens are idealists with no practical experience and no sign of the discipline/expertise required to manage a national economy.
I don’t necessarily like John Key, and I don’t necessarily trust him, but I don’t believe he wants anyone to be worse off. It doesn’t matter what he said in 1995, it doesn’t matter what he said over the cup of tea. It doesn’t matter that he said he wouldn’t raise GST – he also decided to cancel a tranche of tax cuts due to the economic situation, and I think he was right to do that.

Anyway, I had a look at your link. As I understand it you’re blaming John Key’s position with Merrill Lynch in 1997 for the subprime crisis. Hmm, do you also think Bush engineered 9/11?

Me, I blame the US Democrats for starting the sub-prime catastrophe, first by legislating loans for bad risks (because poor people will be empowered by having big mortgages) and then by blocking regulation of Fanny and Freddie. Certainly the banks capitalised on this situation, and they’re every bit the vultures they’re said to be. There should have been no bailout of the banks (and our finance company guarantee in NZ shouldn’t have had to cover the interest on top of the deposits, but that’s a side issue) – a free market approach would have let them fail – but in the US the government (Republican or Democrat) is loathe to let the status quo fail.

Middle of the road means hands off and let the market dictate yeah ?…Let people sort their own shit out. Don’t get down and dirty, show a clean pair of gloves and just manage the photo ops.

Here is a link to a guy who petrified me as he is a red neck Texan loud mouth and if you had told me three years ago I would actually listen to this guy I would have thought you utterly mad and yes until a couple of years ago I identified mostly with what is seen as leftist ideology but I believe we are in for hell and if it all goes pear shaped I want this guy to be in my camp.

“I’m sure Labour could put someone better qualified in charge. Don’t you ?” – no, but I’m sure you can amuse me by suggesting someone.

“But we are even more toast with John Key in power.” – as opposed to who? Goff?

Hmm, do you also think Bush engineered 9/11?

You bet she does.

Jesus, am I looking forward to the 27th when rocks will be moving all over the place with low life trollers crawling back under them.

And Black you are just becoming really fucking tiresome.

I was hoping that with the blog down last night a couple of the more tedious commentators would have acted like the oxygen deprived and faded away quietly

Did you have to try hard to think that up? I’m glad you didn’t disappoint.

Black with a Vengeance

Not at all.

Little was educated at New Plymouth Boys’ High School and studied law, philosophy and public policy at Victoria University of Wellington in the 1980s. After graduating he took a job as a lawyer with the Engineers’ Union (a forerunner of the EPMU). In 1997 he was appointed the union’s general counsel (chief lawyer).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Little_%28trade_unionist%29

After leaving high school, he worked in his family’s timber business, and received training in carpentry. Later he qualified as a teacher. He then taught woodwork and crafts at high-school level at Ellesmere College, and later at St Bede’s College. At St Bede’s he taught woodwork and graphics.

Doesn’t even look like Brownlee left school with School C or UE but let’s not let being a fat, useless, dumb, brownnosing, career politician, prick stand in the way of being in charge of rebuilding a city eh ?

Oh well it looks like Mrs Chris’s little boy Scott is the only one in step, again.

You poor vain dill, you actually believe anyone gives a flying fuck in regards to your comments. What is it 2700 of them in the last 7 weeks or so?

………………..yours and elaycees and murrays and beryls and dimes and bruvs are forever derailing threads.

And thanks for that I consider that a compliment

The resident muppet bleats: “eastbay you’re the fucking troll you idiot. Intolerant abusive comments like yours and elaycees and murrays and beryls and dimes and bruvs are forever derailing threads. Can’t you fucking see that? Fuck you are stupid.”

Ha ha – thank you for your ‘contribution’… but just as well someone else didn’t say that because you’d go running like a squealing little piggie all the way to the blog owner complaining that we were being mean and nasty to you.

Diddums.

I haven’t been wasting my time during the hol’s PEB.

I have penned a little ditty called the “Running on EmEmPee Song”.

I guess I can post it here even if it is off thread.

On my other computer. I’ll go and crank it up. 🙂

“eastbay you’re the fucking troll you idiot. Intolerant abusive comments like yours and elaycees and murrays and beryls and dimes and bruvs are forever derailing threads”

how did i make that list??? because i pointed out your unfortunate personality after reading 2000+ of your inane comments.

and then you follow it up with:

“Fuck you are stupid.”

well thats charming.

I get it though. In real life you never quite made it did ya? you work for people that you think arent as smart as you. lifes tough. so, you have an online presence. you start out here as a patronising fuck, but most of us let it slide. then you start to get even more high and mighty and people start to give you a bit of stick. this incenses you as your cyber life is starting to reflect your real life. unfortunately you dont have the social tools to say “yea sorry guys, just being a dick.. but heres what i think etc”. oh no, you think the solution is to become even more of a douche bag and then start getting upset. now, youre forever known as a weak as piss, socially inept bitch boy on kiwiblog and your cyber life is just like your real life. and ya know what makes it cool? i know for a fact that you work for a dude just like me 🙂 hell, ive had employees just like you. i bet it just grates you. hell, i bet youre the sort of guy that strippers are scared of.

in summary, you have half a brain, but no social skills. youre a loser.

Hi Elaycee. Glad to see you keeping the children in line while I have been absent! 🙂

Tried to get Lord Birkenhead to plead my case with DPF but the prick still won’t reply to my mails. 🙂
