Thank you very much, anon!

You're welcome. It must be a DNS problem if the IP works. Run ipconfig /flushdns, or wait some days and try their domain name again.

Revo seems down for me 2.

Bitsoup also

[JVJ]

I've stopped all my torrents, happened a day or 2 ago, I never read the home page so will wait patiently.

[ripper98]

Yeah looks like Bitsoup is down.

[orgzzs]

RevTT still down for me also

[grimms]

Just came to figure out if RevTT was down for anybody else. Which it obviously is. Still down for me as well.

[fOrUmAs]

yep

RevTT,FTN are down for me too! ;(

seems BCG are also having some issues with tracker,site works ok

[thedemon44]

BCG is having problems. Briefly connected to tracker, and then down again.

[nixorz]

has anyone been on the revo irc channel to see what happened?

[ttanner]

I was connected to the site yesterday, and spoke to someone who was in IRC and they were getting a massive DDOS attack. I wish there was someplace we could get official news?

[aphroDJiac]

Hopefully they can get RevTT back on or if anybody gets any new info if they could post in here it would be great. Thanks

[gaius]

DDOS makes sense as I can not resolve DNS for RevTT at the moment

[Nykon1969]

Getting redirects for RevTT Now.

[Fatal01]

There are many sites getting dDos attacks atm - some sort of concerted attack. Funny that other similar sites are not getting attacked ?
All sorts of conspiracy theories abound :)

Anti-piracy resorting to underhand methods ?

[aphroDJiac]

Is the redirect ok? I get a warning and want to make sure that it is safe to login. Thanks

[thedemon44]

Use Sandboxie to check. It will keep you 100% safe.

[aphroDJiac]

Thanks much appreciated

[askj]

Can anyone explain me what has happened with FTN, What, and BitMe?

Nevermind, all are having site issues.

BCG is another one down now, site and tracker... :(

[thedemon44]

BCG still down.

Sandboxie is nice, if you are ever iffy about anything, run it through sandboxie first. Guaranteed to extend the life of your OS. ;)

[dion09529]

GFT is down.

[sheriff 01]

Now bmtv is down also. WTF! is going on i now i have nothing left to use other than public sites which i try to avoid since i do not want anymore legal action letters.

Sandboxie is great, yes. I've been using it since '07 and it's proven extremely helpful to try things without contaminating the rest of the system. Not everything works on it though, and that's when VirtualBox kicks in. :P

[Funkin']

E is down to? Damn, these guys are going after a bunch of sites(or maybe this particular one is down for other reasons).

[ninthemperor]

Gft still down

[ccg]

BTN still down, getting nervous now.....

[polartrade]

CG has now hit with a DDOS as well. They're encouraging their members to keep calm. But most of them are stoned, so that was their first inclination anyway.

Seriously, though, hoping it's back up soon. Solid gold.

[Fatal01]

http://torrentfreak.com/ddos-attacks-take-down-what-cd-btn-and-ptp-bittorrent-trackers-140106/

[ccg]

BTN back up. Yeah

[polartrade]

CG is back up (if anyone can see this; it looks like my post announcing that it had been DDOS-attacked wasn't approved for some reason)! Man, that didn't take long at all. Just another reason I love those guys.

[Defy]

Now ptp is down and ftn, btn and whatcd are still a no go.

ARGH! Getting very anxious. :cry:

[Fatal01]

A lot of the sites being attacked use CloudFlare, a sort of huge RAM cloud backup that helps to deflect the dDos attacks. Some manage to be available intermittently during the attacks. Some do not. Some don't have this backup, and are knocked out right away. Some have simply shut down during the attacks.

BitTorrent is serious business.

[Fatal01]

BitTorrent is serious business.

I agree. My pastime and enjoyment have been seriously curbed these last few days, and I am not happy about it, but that convo brought a smile :)

But also, how often do you have to tell folk what's going on? They still keep coming back and saying my torrent is going red, or I can't get into the forum, or this or that site is down, even after you've told them time and time again that there is a general dDos attack going on that is affecting many sites, not just theirs. Yes, they should leave their torrents running, but no, they should not keep updating them. If they can't log into the site, there's a good chance the tracker is down. If they can log in, there's a good chance the tracker will be up. Yes, they may lose seed time and seed bonus if applicable. Yes, they may be falsely accused of H&R, but the staff are aware of this....

So a little light relief is always welcome, no? :)

[DrParker]

whats up with ftn?

[Fatal01]

Do you guys not look back a bit through the posts ?

Since several days now there has been a multi dDos attack on many sites which has brought many down. Some have succesfully fought the attack and managed to remain up if shakily, some have been up and down, some have just gone off air for the duration, and some have mostly lost the battle to stay up. The dDos costs bandwidth too, so it is often cheaper just to shut down, or take action which results in the same effect on users.
It's getting to be old news now, but read here, although these three are only three of many, many more : http://torrentfreak.com/ddos-attacks-take-down-what-cd-btn-and-ptp-bittorrent-trackers-140106/

Thanks for that,it's been to long since I was last on her,now I know what is happening thankyou :)

[Fatal01]

I'm sorry for being impatient. Not everyone can be expected to be aware of what has been going on. It's a sad world when such things can happen, or even be allowed to happen.

It's a race to see whether officialdom gets to the culprits before unofficial peeps get to them. Personally, I hope it's not officialdom that gets them :)

And I would so love to be in a position where I would be among one of those to get them.................................

Unfortunately, it's still going on, and some sites are still down, but the odd one is up now. I won't enumerate them, but if your fave site is not coming up when you go to log in, at least you'll have a good idea why not......

You're talking about sites that are dedicated to breaking the law.
I take it you are unfamiliar with the word "hypocrisy".

Also you're apparently suggesting that it's not OK to disrupt someone's frivolous leisure activities but apparently it's perfectly OK to beat the snot out of someone.
See again "hypocrisy".

Listen I'm as bummed as the next guy (clue Meg) but Jesus Fucking Christ.

You and Meg are both getting bummed? At the same time? Is this like a Groupon thing?

Down for me too.

Appears to be similar host as some of the other sites.

So much for the Cloudflare software blocking DDOS/DOS attacks and allowing normal traffic through... such crap

[asanfstc]

thephoenix has not loaded for me in weeks but http://isitup.org/thephoenix.name says it is up. Anybody else have this problem?

[Fatal01]

The dDos attacks are still going on. This must be some kind of a record ?
Seems to be that they are swinging like on a dial round an arc of sites, and sites are down for several hours then manage to come back up again.
Some sites are using CloudFlare, but the bigger they are, the less CloudFlare can help them, I would think, or maybe it depends on how much they are paying/buying ?

Some are diverting the attack, as the dDos also costs money, which might explain why 'isitup' or 'downforeveryone' might show them as up when they are not accepting access.

It's amazing how many members are complaining that sites are not awarding them their true seeding time and ratio, instead of just being bl**dy glad that their sites are even being able to stay up at all :lol:

BCG has been done for around 48 hours now, anybody know what's up? Both site and tracker. Another DDoS? Any news on the IRC or anything?

[stoi]

Another DDos, 1000% increase in our BW, hosts have no option but to shut us off (or my bill will be astronomical, it still might be yet).

I hope this doesnt take us down, but even I have to admit its not looking good and its a right PITA :(

[megabyteme]

Shame the host would wait until your bill reached nearly a year's worth before pulling the plug.

[stoi]

Well they did say they are trying not to charge us anything, but i will find out on the 31st what the damage is, if anything, but its killing us, I cant even afford cloudflare @ $200 a month or i would have got it 2 weeks ago :(

[megabyteme]

You've long been one of the straight-shooters of the community, stoi. Very little controversy (although some try occasionally, right) associated with your site. I expect members will step up to help right the ship.

Too bad technology is such that children can disrupt sites with off-the-shelf water pistols...

[stoi]

well, to put it bluntly.

DDos = No site = No donations = Fucked

but hopefully it will all just go away and we will be fine (or is that just too easy)

anyway getting sidetracked from the actual topic here, so yeah, atm fucked, hopefully in near future, fine.

[Fatal01]

It really is such a PITA this.
Not just the above but quite a few other sites.
If you have the pennies, Cloudflare is a godsend, but if not, well, good old irc, I suppose, and facebook :)

Empornium.me has been down for about 4 days. It's been down before a few times but never for this long. Anyone have an update about that tracker?

According to IRC here

http://webchat.digitalirc.org/
channel #empornium

"Site is up but due to DDoS attack it may be unreachable. We are working on this, no ETA"

Don't know if that's out of date, but there are people in that channel chatting, so I guess that's current info

I miss my porn :cry:

[smcewa11]

For EMP, they should be back next week and it is not a ddos anymore. According to irc chat they know the problem, have a solution and are testing then implementing it.

[bamboo]

BCG down completely, say's "Due to excessive DDoS attacks we have decided to take the site offline. We hope to be back soon.", so is this basically the end of BCG? Hopefully they do come back soon...

[stoi]

hopefully not, it looks like the hosts have null routed the IP again, but this is getting to be very boring now.

Yeah, seriously, why so many people have an axe to grind with DDoSing trackers is beyond me, why not DDoS a legitimate target...like...Steam. Who's TOS and totalitarian policies are an absolute shit down the throat of their users, and for a private company who's worth billions to have worse customer support than a 1 man website deserves to be fucked with more than a tracker that freely serves it's users and operates on donations. I just don't understand the values of the script kiddie DDoS idiots, go after people or companies that are actually worth sending a message too. Not a bittorrent tracker which hurts literally nobody. The Sony PSN takedown was a good message to send, but I guess DDoSing Steam and maintaining that attack for extended periods requires a bit more skill than a couple script kids have learned...

I know a couple people in network and private security who could probably track down a lot of these people who DDoS and idiotically claim responsibility. There are a lot of "operators" in the Blackhat scene who could really lend a hand a giving a couple of these people a taste of their own medicine, maybe even bit more.

I would rather prefer MS being taken down Sony has been more consumer friendly.

Still down due to DDOS (also see previous page for reply from Stoi), no time estimate at the moment I'm afraid.

TSH's tracker and site seem to be back up, but I can't log in. The site says my IP is banned. Anyone else getting this error?

Edit: OK, thanks smcewa11

Everyone seems to be getting it. Nothing on their irc about it so waiting seems to be the only option atm.

Any news when BCG is going to be up

[phileas]

Does any know the alternative IRC for BCG?. I removed it from my client when things appeared to be going smoothly again.

The alternative IRC for BCG isn't online any more I'm afraid, it was only set-up when we expected BCG to be going offline for a considerable amount of time in December 2013 since we were unsure about the future of the site, the reason is no longer relevant as this problem was fully resolved. The recent downtime however wasn't expected and has been caused entirely by another DDoS attack on top of various previous attacks, the host has been forced to null route BCG's server again temporarily (disconnected it from the network) to regain control, unfortunately this time it's taking a good while.

BCG will be back although I'm afraid at the moment there is still no definite time estimate and it's simply a case of being patient at the moment I'm afraid.

[smcewa11]

TSH, site is up again but not so sure about their tracker.

edit: and tracker seems to be back, and no one should be IP banned in error.

Site under massive DDoS attack ! We are working on it with our ddos provider thank you for your patience!

[desudroya]

BCG appears to be down again. :(

Damn ddos script kiddy bastards have nothing better to do than take down such an awesome and useful site.

I hope this is over quicker than last time...

[Sparx]

BCG down again? :(

[pjcnet]

BCG down again? :(
Unfortunately I can confirm it's caused by yet another DDoS attack. I hoped we would only be null routed by the host for an hour or two this time for it to pass, but over 5 hours on so far it doesn't look like they're going to leave us alone so quickly. We can only sit this out again until it does eventually pass, hopefully we won't be down too long this time, but nothing is guaranteed with these relentless attacks I'm sorry to say. :(

[SgtMajor]

Are these "bedroom kiddies" ddos attacks on the trackers by disgruntled ex-members or other sites jealous of the success etc, or something more sinister by those with money & power? :ermm: :unsure:

It's pretty clever how they manage to combine a protocol feature like that (designed when security was much less relevant or a non-issue) with IP spoofing to lure third parties into carrying over the actual heavy traffic.

Reminds me of that 2007 DDoS that used BitTorrent as an attack vector by injecting a fake announce URL pointing to the victim, and I believe a DHT bootstrap IP, into popular torrents. The result: dozens of thousands of clients constantly and silently hammering this "tracker". Those downloading would notice nothing, because the files themselves were legitimate.

In both cases the attacker uses very little bandwidth himself, but brings the target to its knees.

That would have been quite something, she's been dead for quite a few years now, funny how one persons humour is another persons not so funny moment.

Did I say "mum"? I meant yer hawt cousin. :yup:

If that's indeed the case expect the indexers to get hit next. That'll be hilarious.

As for the technique itself: it's scary how many appliances run ntpd or other servers an end user may not even know about. Why urpf and bcp38 aren't more widely implemented in 2014 is ridiculous.

Probleme tehnice. We'll be back soon.

[pjcnet]

BCG back online again after yet another ddos, I wish whoever is behind it would please be really nice and give us a break this time at least. :)

PS: Only the tracker offline at the time of writing, but we should sort this soon.

Update: Tracker fixed now too, everything up and running!

Tracker is up :)

Sorry folks, BCG is back down again for the time being, no eta at the moment.

The hosts ISP have us on 24/7 watch, if the traffic impacts the network they are null routing the IP, well... as you can guess, we have been hit yet again :(

We seriously need to find out who's doing this and end it. If you want me to direct you to a few people I know IRL who deal in private security, who also have a decades worth of whitehat/black experience, let me know. They'll find this fucker/s in no time, that's what their paid to do, find people who attempt to be "anonymous". Then you can suggest what is done with any personal identity information that's obtained about them. If it were me, I'd post their entire personal identity info on Pastebin and other like sites as well as their credit/debit card info and bank login info, as well as any PayPal info that's found. I'd crucify the fucker and see if anybody else has the balls to try it again.

[pjcnet]

BCG is back up again and has been for about 1 hour at the time of writing, hoping we will stay that way for a lot longer at least this time! :)

BCG just gone down again, the 24/7 host watch for abnormal traffic that affects the network has most likely null routed us again, but I didn't notice any problems just before like I usually do so unsure if it was a ddos or not as yet. Hoping we won't be down too long this time, but can't be sure.

Update: Back up again 10 mins later. :)

Update: Null routed again a few minutes after attempting to come back online again and it does now look like yet another ddos after all. We are working on trying to resolve the situation, but no eta at the moment I'm afraid. :(

Update: Expecting to be offline for a few days, maybe even a bit longer this time, but we are working on the problem and hopefully we will stay online when we do return next time. Please bear with us and thank you for everyone's support.

Damn. You guys must be run ragged with all the ddos's lately. Glad you guys aren't giving up, though I'd probably understand if you did. This must be frustrating as hell. :(

RMT down Our DNS server is down. The server itself which is hosting RMT website if just fine but without dns is unreachable. iPLAY team, our big brother is trying hard to solve the problem but we can not provide a date when everything will be back as it should. Until then you may try a little trick: just add this line into your hosts file c:\\\\WINDOWS\\\\system32\\\\drivers\\\\etc\\\\hosts: to be able to resolve the DNS: 84.247.80.243 metal.iplay.ro 84.247.80.250 irc.iplay.ro for access the irc server I repeat: We do NOT manage the *.iplay.ro DNS server and we are waiting for iPLAY STAFF to solve the problem.
