I noticed that all FDC servers i know of are offline (cogent line only), did FDC's whole IRC network go offline yet again?

Yup im on 4 networks all there fdcs went down which is why my network doesnt allow fdcs.

the cogent IRC network is being DOSed, techs are working with COgent on filtering the attack

Ouch. Not really suprising though, that line must see these kinds of attacks quite frequently :/

how large of a ddos attack is this that it took down the entire line?

I`d rather not get into details I am just gonna say it was dirrected not against our client but against our equipment. Unfortunately Cogent isn`t very helpfull with filtering, they nullroute IPs pretty fast but when it comes to blocking specific ports their support group is not allowed to set up any access-list entries. Only their IP engineering group can do that and those guys work from 9 to 5 so go figure. The Cogent is back up now and we`re filtering the attack using our firewall but there is might be some packet loss

I was told fdc has like 3.6 gigabits of cogent feed for there irc line but didnt believe that and am curious how hard of an attack this is to take down that entire thing.

He is not the only one being DDOSed.

Don't know if this is their case. But lately allot of Florida companies have been receiving DoS and DDoS attacks.

I cant even access fdcs website at the moment

Their network is up, just some "FDC Hater" attacking fdcserver.net's port 80
Posted by Nessun, 10-01-2003, 05:37 PM
heh which one of the thousands?
Posted by Cirtex, 10-01-2003, 05:38 PM
probably just 1 of the "I hate FDC" gangs here at WHT
Posted by SrvOutsource, 10-01-2003, 05:46 PM
Most of the attacks going around lately have been: UDP Port 53 TCP Port 53 TCP Port 80
