    Same concept just I hope they aren't doing literal string matches :) Francisco

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    We've had no performance issues to date with it. We actually had a few users get banned by autonull because people were sending so many packets at them to reflect. Francisco

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    For sure! With this iptables rule, though, it allows users that are renting all their gear and don't have switch ACL access to defend from it as well. Francisco

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    This is most likely incorrect. I'll poke around with tcpdump later and see what it actually is. Francisco

    NTP - the new DDOS amplifier

    I released some information on how hosts can block the packets so they don't have to suspend their users/enter their CT's without permission. Francisco

    HOWTO: Stop NTP amplification attacks from reaching your nodes!

    Hello everyone, **If you share this information on your blog, forum, etc, be kind and please link back to this topic!** Normally I'm not one to share stallion code, but after a discussion with a couple staffers we came to the conclusion that the following work must be made public for the...

    ColoCrossing / VSNX Starts it's Hostile Takeover of the LOWEND VPS Market

    Thinking that but didn't want to be mean for once. It's possible it's just too niche of a market. Francisco

    Zeneva - Bad experience? I want to hear about it.

    Same goes with datacenters. "Yeah man we got generators on site, no sweat." *City goes completely dark one day* "Well, the building has them but we don't actually pay to be backed by them...." FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Francisco

    BlueVM outted on WebhostingTalk.com as bad pay

    Are we talking large amounts? Or like a $1.99 thing? I'm not trying to downplay what happened, just trying to figure out if it was a personal box or something they may have sold services off. Francisco

    MySQL or Pg in the cloud (as a service)?

    I think what @splitice is trying to say is that it isn't web scale. Francisco

    PhoenixVPS to leave Phoenix, ColoCrossing in their future.

    I think it's already done. It's at the very least 'already happening'. I don't think there was a lot of heads up, either. I think there was only < 1 week notice? Francisco

    PhoenixVPS to leave Phoenix, ColoCrossing in their future.

    Buffalo is where the initial move is to and he's supposedly opening more locations ASAP? No mention of if they're CC locations or not. Francisco

    PhoenixVPS to leave Phoenix, ColoCrossing in their future.

    SJC isn't cheap. Even if EGI gave them a sweetheart deal, it'll be at least $350/m+ on power alone. I know we were paying $400 - $450/20A which was cost + a few bucks. I also think SEA is a very limited space for them and is mostly for some enterprise/specific customers and not something...

    Providers: Do You Send An RFO Email If Your Network Has 5 Minutes of Packet Loss?

    So about that. I kinda get the feeling that level3 took a full nose dive when that happened. For a good 10 - 15 minutes I had 90%+ packetloss to 4.2.2.1 from my home and some sites simply didn't load. There was a thead on LET about 'what broke in Buffalo', and the broken trace went over Level3...

    BuyVM OpenVZ 128MB (NY)

    Pull from our test file and see if it's doing the same thing at all. It could just be a poor route but if the speedtest (speedtest.ny.buyvm.net) shows better speeds then ticket :) Choopa has been a real improvement all around. Thanks! Francisco

    ZyXEL Anyone?

    Why not pack together a vyatta setup? You could even use those "edge router lite" solutions if they have an additional switch. The edgerouter's are $100/ea and you can buy a small netgear prosafe switch for like $80. The VPN throughput on the vyatta setup is likely way better than most of the...

    Looking for: Large SSD-cached KVM in United States

    I don't know? I'm not sure if @marcm posts on these forums so it's possible he could shine some light on it? He didn't go into heavy detail over it all. Francisco
