BCG down again?
BCG Staff
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.Originally Posted by Sparx

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?
Yes Sir, I'm Right On It!!

My thoughts exactly!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?

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.
