> 4chan is down because of DDoS attacks, stemming from a bunch of guys that are angry that moot doesn't want to move #4chan to lulznet.
-Kirtaner (of 420chan).
No real reasons to distrust this information, really. Let's hope it didn't hit 'em too hard. I must say, with the traffic that 4chan get, it must have been one fucking tidal wave of a DDOS.
This brings up a number of questions...
sux2b4chan
> re. "No real reasons to distrust this information": are you implying in some way that because Kirtaner said this, that he might be somehow involved?
No, not at all, it's just that he's 'friends' with moot (reportedly from before moot even started 4chan), that and the fact that Kirt has been correct about these sort of things before.
>>2
IRC fags are HARDCORE! That said, it still sounds like a pretty shitty reason.
I'd more likely believe a visit from the party van or other legal faggotry has gone down, or maybe the ads haven't worked out and it's back to DONATE OR DIE.
This is all /b/'s fault.
you cant blame /b/...
Poor 4chan. And this was the week that I had to take a leave of absence from there, too. It looks like a functional but RedCream-less week is just not in the cards for 4chan.
RedCream is a gigantic faggot.
Correct because he is the one that does that sort of shit.
Remember 4pron? Seriously, wtf is wrong with kirtaner?
It'd be one thing if they just brought down the server that /b/ is on, but all of them? That's some serious bullshit.
This thread is one of the top google searches for "What happened to 4chan".
I thought you guys might care.
Fuck this. I'm missing /a/.
Fuck all of 4chan, I just want some normalcy to return to iichan /b/... If I see "WHEN I WAS" one more time, I'm going to have to punch someone.
>>13
fuck this, I'm missing /g/. I could be bitching about how tech support threads suck and that we should be talking about o'neill cylinders.
>>14
I love iichan and the people on it, but I can't stand the slowness of that site after years of 4chan.
Even with the runoff of 4chan's downtime, its still so slooooow.
I miss /m/ ;_;
I miss /a/ ;_;
Sure it was nothing but an endless cycle of Type-Moon, Raki Shit and Higurashi threads we've had a million times before, but still ;_;
I'm fucking bored.
BANZAI!
（ ・∀・）
I miss /prog/ ;_;
It may have been a DISTRIBUTED attack, but somebody's behind it, and that somebody can bleed. Is an "executive action" required? Leave me some leads here.
O RLY?
Not only 4chan, but 7chan, 12chan & 420chan are down too.
COINCIDENCE?!
Can't be purely because of DDoS'sing 'from a bunch of guys that are angry that moot doesn't want to move #4chan to lulznet.'
The word going round is that YTMND & Ebamsworld are DDoS-attacking all these boards. This sounds the most credible theory, but I wonder... Could it be either those invaded by Anon in the past have organized & started getting their revenge against Anon, or have the Admins of ALL these boards been partyv&d in a sweep of these boards by the FBI? Whatever, I hope the shutdown is permanent. Anon has no-one to blame but themselves. Thety're to blame. If they'd STRICTLY followed Rules 1 & 2, and hadn't gone beyond their own little universe, all the -chans would still be up. But Anon started getting ideas above their stations & went beyond said little world & went out into RL, for their so-called 'Lulz'. And not just invasions. It was the death threats, then Messing With Football. The result? THAT report on Fox News, which blew Rules 1 & 2 apart. The WHOLE WORLD heard of Anon (ever heard of YouTube?!). Now the Lulz is upon them. Call it Karma. The Biter Bitten. One thing's for sure: Those Who Live By 'Lulz' shall DIE By Lulz. And the only one Lulz-ing now are those who brought down the -chans.
I for one welcome our /b/ & Anon-less Internet. Anonymous has become An Hero.
see what happens when channers engage in pedocrap? next time, stay legal, and you won't get ddosed.
>>25 >>COINCIDENCE?!
Yes. No one's attacked iichan, for one thing. 7 and 12chan went up and down all the time, but no one notices until 4chan happens to at the same time. There is no campaign against imageboards.
There is also no cabal.
7chan ddosed 4chan. 4chan is not being ddosed anymore. 4chan is down and will be down until their host works everything out with moot and co. (nullrouted etc)
there is no real reason why the ddosing was done. i was told by the attackers that the whole 'we ddosed 4chan because they didn't move to our network' thing was a lie and it was in fact done for the lulz.
hmmm what else.. oh yeah, it wasn't 'lulznet' that attacked 4chan. 7chan was a part of lulznet but they are not any longer. if you actually believe that an IRC network attacked a website then perhaps you should spend less time at the computer.. or more.. who knows?
>>25
doubt it. 4chan and ytmnd may not get along, but they have put aside their differences before to fight ebaums. it's unlikely that ytmnd would forget who they spawned off of and fight against its own father.
>>29
And don't forget its even less likely that YTMND would ever team up with ebaums for anything.
I wish 4chan would stay down forever. Is anyone with me on this?
i miss my /b/
Is something up with 7chan, too? I keep ending up redirected to Habbo everytime I go there...
This is what happens when you let teenagers use computers.
>>35 7chan was getting bandwidth raped by both the flood of users and a possible DDoS by lulznet for perceived injustices, so they bailed.
>>35
Isn't that against most domain name agreements, that you can't direct traffic to a site you don't own?
And now iichan seems to be down, too. What the?
I can still ping kei.iichan, but get "connection refused" when going to the frontpage or any board hosted there. Blarg.
iichan just had a minor blackout or so its back up now
There seems to be too much porn everywhere now. We need a cleaner messager board
Hahaha oh wow, you guys are fucking retards. 7chan has neither the resources nor the motive to DDOS 4chan. I'm both friends with p4ch3co (7chan owner) and also have spoken to someone involved in the DDOS. the lulznet story is exactly what is going on.
4chan's back up
>>45
USO DA!
Or at least here it's still down, could be DNS though.
Hay guys, what's this soup I keep hearing about?
Your culprit exposed:
http://www.geocities.com/kakamafive/
>>51
He was on #ed last night, too.
I believe in the views expressed in http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19 more than http://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/ now. Especially ever since the invasionfags started acting like an Internet Tough Guy version of The Borg.
Jesus, this Kakama guy is a douche. "I speak for anonymous," what crap.
>>52 I think Shii's essay still holds mostly true. Kakama's obviously out to make a name for himself, which makes him not 'anonymous'. He's just a nerd with an inflated sense of self-importance.
>>http://www.geocities.com/kakamafive/
>>Summary:
>>There is no cabal and no FBI raid, just some Internet Tough Guys who won't even let a tired and broken admin enjoy a meager bowl of soup. As with all things, the entirety of /i/ is not to blame.. those such as Kakama, however, who strive for little more than auto-fellating their ePeens are. And for what? To say "lulz" would be a idiotic cop-out, but honestly, look in the mirror the next time you rush into the bathroom to drain the spooge you've hastily cupped between your hand and naked stomach. Just ask yourself, "what the fuck am I doing with my life?"
>>Likewise, those Anonymous who are outraged at the rape of their motherland or IRC channel should also question themselves. There was once a man who said, "an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." This man also drank his own urine, though - perhaps his advice should be taken with a tax-free grain of salt. Try this reasoning instead: these are our internets, our home. Anonymous has more pressing things to deal with than pitiful in-fighting. He need not forgive and will certainly never forget, but he is not obligated to continue such a pointless cycle of drama. Indeed, the well-cultured Anonymous would simply laugh at the absurdity of it all and post more Bridget.
>>After all, everyone is gay for Bridget; and this unity is comforting.
God damn /i/ faggots. Amen.

Ever read Greek mythology? Half of the kids killed and ate the parents. I think it's highly possible that some Anon faggot (not fag) went and tried to raid YTMND on his own, and really pissed them off. The creators of YTMND may know who their father is, but i can guarantee that 98.9999999999999997% of the regular Joe Users have no fucking idea who 4chan is, and are pissed off at some asshat posting CP in their forum. Ebaums world... sigh... just plain sucks ass.
You win an infinite number of internets. If it weren't for whoever broke Rules 1 and 2 in the first place, none of us would give a shit about all of this. It's like Fight Club (which the first few rules were based off of). It's meant to be a totally exclusive club, but you can't keep something a secret for long, no matter how awesome it is. I was told about 4chan by at least six different people on the same day. Naturally, I kept it a secret for about a year, and then BOOM! Boards go down for the first time in a year and I freak out. I ask all my /b/tarded friends about it, and they all directed me to a shitload of other /b/tards who were even moar hardcore than the other people. It's a neverfucking ending cycle of violence and CP, but it needs to happen as more and more people get disgusted with 4chan's current state and sign off once and for all. If it weren't for 1&2 (the abscence thereof), there would be no more 4chan. It would've simply gone down with Moot and the original few who knew about it and sank without a bubble.
4chan is all I think about every day. I sometimes cry myself to sleep at night thinking about how long it's been down.
4chan was just up, now it's down again.
Or am I finally losing it?
>>60
But about 20 minutes ago, it was up again. What the hell?
SPOILERS!
The rules of /b/ were created by people that were new to /b/!
Have a nice day, kids.
>>62
Oldfags don't bother with /b/ anymore. They've all moved on to less shitty boards.
All of this Habbo Hotel, raiding and general "Internet Army" faggotry is all due to the newfags. Their actions in turn attract more newfags of the worst sort.
My duties as an Official Internet Monitor include reviewing the crashes of sites like 4chan. I must now issue the official notice that 4chan is up. Post tits and cocks. You must POAST JENNY TALS!
4chan appears to be down once more.
>>57
I can't tell if you're a troll or just a faggot.
cho0b: Only blocks can be null-routed (minimum a /5 but depends). All 4chan has is 3 IPs.
You're right about the rules.. /b/ has ZOMG NO RULES!
Anyway, if this is really a DDoS, and 4chan manages to intermittently come back during the attack, then it's very weak. Counting with 0.5 mbit as an average upload speed, one only needs 200 zombies to saturate 100 mbit. Small botnets start at 10000..
>>70
No, 4chan has much more than 3 IPs.
Off the top of my head:
team.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.163
yotsuba.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.165
www.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.166
-- also aliased to 4chan.org and mail.4chan.org
orz.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.168
tmp.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.169
zip.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.176
img.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.181
dat.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.182
fuuka.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.185
cgi.4chan.org has address 66.207.165.186There's more (IIRC, 4chan owns everything from 66.207.165.160 to .190 or so) but those are just what I can think of in 15 seconds.
this is getting me pissed off. wtf is 4chan down for again! anonymous does not forgive.
Missing /an/ here...
is this lulznet? must we attack their IRC servers? Who do I attack.!? I want blood and retribution.
(Cross-posted from iichan because it sums this up niceley.)
Lets put this as clear and simple as possible.
One, this whole OMG YOU RAID ME I RAID YOU business is as retarded as it gets, topped only by what started this whole mess. A bunch of what, 17 year old kids whining about IRC? Please.
Two, this will be over in due time. Idiots get bored fast.
Three, there is no point in attacking any single IP address. There is no point in trying to counter a distributed denial of service attack with another one. That helps no one.
The people who would actually suggest something like that should probably get off iichan, and go back to whatever hole they creeped out of.
(Also, DDoSing a site does not make you an 31337 h4x0r. All that you need for this is a distinct lack of a life, giving you enough time to figure out how to use one of several readily available tools. [See also >>70])
Tobin Bridge was right.
Apparently 4chan is to be turned off and left. Moot will move on to other things.
I would hope that moot would be smart enough to sell 4chan and try to get some money out of the whole thing rather than just shutting it down.
>>82
I think not! But I wouldn't be terribly sad if all those new dipshits finally had to go back to gaia and myspace.
>>83
No one in their right mind would buy that site.

lulz, anonymous, you are such a loser.
>Apparently 4chan is to be turned off and left. Moot will move on to other things.
WHAT?!?! Who told you this?
>Look for an official announcement regarding this soon.
Oh, I will. Until then, I'm not trusting that shit as far as I can throw it.
Every other chan was doing better when 4chan was down.
I don't believe it would work out. There would be a subsequent shitstorm with every /b/tard trolling every other board on the site. /b/ always responds to everything in the most idiotic ways. New reporting system? Time to post lots of CP to test it out. And whenever the board switches to and from forced anonymous, there's an uproar.
Truth. If you were a regular on any other /b/ board, you saw what happened when 4chan went down. "it's where we keep the retards" sums up 4chan /b/ pretty well.
That said, however, >>95 has a point. There were some points in time when it was actually a good thing for the slow boards. Sometimes even for a whole hour at a time...
There's another thread here somewhere about "4chan should split the /b/ board". I guess we sort of have an idea what would happen. And that some people there now actually know that there are other boards, so that maybe we're a little closer to that. (having multiple boards)
Or something. I'm tired...
>>98
Remember when the main content of /b/ was "witty" Photoshop threads? When Cock Mongler and Happy Negro were the first of these so called "memes"? When most /b/ posters were disgruntled ex-SA goons?
Nowadays /b/ is so fast and dumb the only things that remains are camwhores, shitty copypaste trolls and memes stolen from GameFAQs.
>>99
moot recently changed the flood limits on /b/, supposedly to slow the board down. Smart, but I still think he's going about it the wrong way, and making a second /b/ (and not linking the original one anymore from the front page, or even mentioning that this happened for that matter -- so that people who just cruise into 4chan and click "random" don't stumble on it and start being retarded) would be a much better solution. Oldschool /b/tards (who presumably have img.4chan.org/b/ bookmarked directly) would keep posting, and the newfags would get their own board to fag up.... but eventually the newfag board would shit out a gold nugget and it'd carry over to the "old" /b/ by those obsessive compulsive people who visit every board because they have nothing else to do.
>by those obsessive compulsive people who visit every board because they have nothing else to do.
Just as I was starting my daily rounds on all the various chan-related boards, too.. oh god it hurt me deep.
Speaking of daily rounds, there's something new (and on topic) over at http://www.geocities.com/kakamafive/botlog.htm
Sounds like someone will be getting a visit from the party van sooner than later.
>>101 Hmm, and subeta is down. Looks like they're not kidding!
> 13:50:29 - [Trapdoor] odds are we just nullrouted the isp subeta is on
Hey look, they learned a new word!
Fucking script kiddies.
> [Luk0r] i just need to figure out how google's javascript shit works
Yeah, document.f.q.focus() is some pretty hardcore shit.
well, they just hit freenode pretty hard -- attacked the main hubs and split the network into several pieces. freenode staff are now arguing over whether it was a ddos or not.
>>106
this log is from before the attacks on 4chon, I think
so maybe the 18th or 19th
>>100
The problem with hiding the original /b/ and making a new one is someone will post something like "Hey, guys here's a link to the superior /b/!"
>>109
Of course, and people also spam various other imageboards all the time, but they still don't get nearly the level of traffic.
I think moot is on the right path.
>>110
actually futaba has 5 /b/s, most of which are not linked. All of them still get a ton of traffic due to people still knowing they exist and that they are linked at other places. The same would happen if 4chan did the same thing.
Um...hey guys its down again any idea what happened this time?
i miss my /b/,/tg/ hell i just miss my 4chan
:o
Incidentally, merging all the chan sites sounds like a terrible idea. It would only serve to dilute the combined userbase and make the whole thing even more mainstream. It would actually be better to destroy 4chan entirely than to create a such a mountain of fail.
>>117
Those script kiddies are going to face the wrath of several thousand angry Anonymous once 4chan comes back. It won't be pretty.
did it for the lulz?
MOTHA FWUACKA I SHALL KEEEEL YOUU
this is going to make 4chan so much more popular.
any publicity is good publicity.
At first I was: =|, but then I lol'd =D
I'll be honest. I dont care too much. I would like to see some more of pedobears crazy antics though...
Look on Digg, 4chan got HACKED!! story has 2300+ diggs.
I think I know where the newfag invasion is coming from.

Update (1:48:00 PM EST ~ 15/12/2007):
We have been in contact with "Moot's fake lawyer" and are in close contact with the 4chan administration. We are working together to find a common solution to this immense dilemma.
We appreciate the cooperation of all the individuals associated with this website, and urge you to remain steadfast and patient while we work to expeditiously resolve this matter.
If there is one thing that our company has learned from this is trust 4chan, its members and its administration more than your own clients, as we have been deceived and mislead; however, after speaking with the 4chan administration are very happy with the way this is heading.
Glexia is prepared, due to the circumstances and members of the owners of diditforthelulz.com impersonation of chief officers in our company to cooperate with 4chan.

http://www.petitiononline.com/4chanzor/
This should be a good front for us to convene and discuss this at.
Disguised as a normal petition, lulz
> 5. An /i/ board.
FUCK THAT.
/i/ is the root of all that is stupid, newfags, stupid forced memes from underage idiots, and most importantly, it is the cancer that killed /b/ and 4chan.
Also, wtf is the point of that? Right here seems to be a perfectly fine place to discuss if you ask me.
If there was a seperate /i/ and /b/ than the idiocy would remain seperate.
>>146
I think it would be a better idea if every /i/ user and 90% of 4chan's /b/ users died in a fire.
>>145
What he said.
Actually pulling an April Furs Day with an /i/ board should fix problems.
Did you forget /b/day?
Acknowledged separation could have prevented that, because an /i/ would give newfag invasionists a place seperate from /b/ to gay up.
Then we could have our /b/ back to the way it was, faceless and nameless instead of people trying to become famous for all the stupid publicity they brought /b/ in the first place.
/gif/ probably killed it with it's AIDS
I wish I could punch in the face every person who only go on the internet to talk about 'newfags', 'epic lulz', 'nigra /b/rothers', 'memes', 'rule 1|2|34', and basically all that big internet fight thing.
When /b/ started on 4chan, it was some sort of internet comedy club for intelligent adults acting like retarded kids.
Now it's only populated by retarded kids acting like the retarded kids they are, posting everyday the exact same 10 threads.
What's the tenth one?
>>144
Interesting how so many other things look like anonymous discussion boards once you think about it..
What's been going on in 4chan these past days, anyway? Last I checked someone claimed to have taken possession of the domain and changed it to some vBulletin crap. Now it seems to be working again. Did moot give blow jays or are they under new management or something?
Oh guys, fuck up, all of yu bunch'cha queers.
Go get stuffed.
THE SITE isn't down, all faggots are banned, DDoS WILL NEVAR KILL US
WE NEVER FORGIVE
WE NEVER FORGET
lol internet
naw, 7chan's up. 4 is down. not sure bout other, dont go there...
i think the party van will have some work soon.....
if 4chan goes down for good, there will just be another anyway.
last i heard it was 4nontalk doing it.
now it seems r4idchan has joined the party and is raping all chans they can think of...
nothing new from them... all the main chans are down and out and some of the lesser ones are either hiding under their alt. DNS or taking a nap
>>166,167
Actually the guy who runs AT has been found, since he had his other personal site hosted on the same residential IP as AT. 22-year-old living in Stockholm. From Googling his name, finds out he has DDoSed other (non-*chan) sites before, so he probably had the capability to do this attack.
I just got an email from a panicking Anon who sent emails out to the top *chan administrators. Calm the fuck down, seriously. You are acting like this doesn't happen five fucking times a month.
4chan is down again fuuuuuuuck
>Once again a dumb group of individuals has taken it upon themselves to DDoS a bunch of imageboards into oblivion for no real reason, and once again we really find ourselves not giving a flying fuck. You’d think people would figure it out by now, nobody really cares, nobody is going to give a rats ass about your own shitty chan site, and you’re likely going to get reamed sometime in the near future by the small collective that actually do give a shit. (http://blog.420chan.org/)
is this the new /everything/?
Wow... do these guys really take themselves seriously? If not, then I lol'ed, but if they do it's just sad, the only people who will care that the chans are down are the people who just sit on there all day and act like idiots, that we don't want anyway. Thanks for taking out our trash for us
casual /b/tard was here
internet tough guys is a loser
i live in raleigh, just a couple of miles from morrisville. i'm gonna go egg his house, brb.
Scientology, took out 4chan. They did it to get back about their servers!
They do not forgive, they do not forget!
Those hooligans at ebaumsworld are likely behind the recent downage of 4chan. I heard that they raided some place and claimed it was us! How dare they taint the good name of 4chan's /b/ with their dastardly acts.
What the hell is with all the blame on raidchan? We already figured out that the Swedish guy who runs AT has DDoSed sites in the past. His personal website is on the same home connection as AT, sharing the same server and IP.

internationsl phone calls are too expensive for the typical /b/tard (13 years old, no job).
I vote we resort to end-twenty-minutes-of-The-Godfather tactics; simultaniously raiding anyone who could possibly have conspired to deprive us of precious lulz. That or, I 'unno, wait 'til 4Chan is back up. This shit happens near-constantly, it'll be over soon.
The streets will flow with the blood of those who are doing this to our beloved /b/. When we find you, YOU WILL PAY AND WE WILL HAVE OUR MUDDERFUCKING LULZ DO YOU HEAR ME TETSUO !!
/yawn
/b/ will be full of "lol ddos" threads for a few weeks adding to the stupid now. Can't be much worse then the normal stupid though can it?
Also, cocks.
>>192
So don't go to /b/ dumbass, theres only like 20 other boards on 4chan.
Anyway, this may actually last a long time, now it seems the 4chanstatus blog page is down, the last time I read it, moot said he was still fending off constand DDoS attacks.
If it comes to the worst thing possible, 4chan gets hosted somewhere else, moot still owns the domain name so it will most likely still be 4chan.org, just be directed to a different server.
That's what I see comming, or at least as a temp untill the attacks stop.
I'd also like to point out, 4chan isn't the only site. I know OverChan(2.o at least) was down for a day or two, and plenty other more populor -ch.
I miss my elitist, stuck up /mu/. ;_;
I miss my pretentious /tv/.
i miss /a/ and FUCK :
The site is still down due to an ongoing DDoS attack.
Remember kids: DDoS is cruise control for cool.
UPDATE: Well, we're still down. Unfortunately, there is very little (read: nothing) that can be done about a 3-5Gbit DDoS attack.
Motherfucking /ck/ I miss you. There is no other /ck/ that I know of :(
Looks like /a/ will miss Geass Sunday if this continues.
There's no real reason to do this.... I am bored and want to surf my imageboard.
>>187
The IRC logs are suitable proof that it's raidchan.
To everyone saying we need to raid or DDoS them back, STFU. This is not the time for stupid, script-kiddie tactics. These morons will get what's coming to them soon enough. Be patient, and stay out of the way while the big boys do their thing.
>4chan isn't the only site. I know OverChan(2.o at least) was down for a day or two, and plenty other more populor -ch.
To enumerate: 420chan is also down, and they've been attacking ED, 7chan, 12chan, and anonib with varying success, too.
> To everyone saying we need to raid or DDoS them back, STFU. This is not the time for stupid, script-kiddie tactics. These morons will get what's coming to them soon enough. Be patient, and stay out of the way while the big boys do their thing.
May I add to that that you do not post personal details about anybody here. Seriously, people, grow the fuck up.
i feel like like someone froze The Nile, lifted it out of its river bed, and plunged it into the heart of pedobear
that is how i feel right nao
fortunately i went through this many times before so i know it'll be back, that kind of softens the blow
wait, if its dos, doesnt that mean everything is ok? i would be far more worried if someone snuck a baddie onboard
>>200
Signed. Rest assured, the people who need that kind of info have it already at this point. The rest of us are only going to cause trouble by getting involved.
i wanna /b/ack
So this is how 4chan dies? After all those donate-or-die drives when it was in danger of running out of money, being watched by the fucking US governmet for "terrorism", and attacking Scientology, this is it? A bunch of nerdy faggots DDOS'ing 4chan is what brings it down? What the FUCK?
>>204
is this the 12th or 13th time 4chan has died? or did i miss a few times?
Sigh, without /ck/ I'm stuck to making ice cream and cereal :|
>>205
Major (like this one) or minor (a few hours)?
I can recall around 4-5 major downs, and countless minor ones.
>>204
Um, this isn't even the first time this has happened in the past year - "brb, soup" ring a bell? 4chan has a major outage every six months or so. IIRC, this is at least the fourth major outage just since /b/day, and they were even more common in the time before that.
Calm down. Quit being so melodramatic. This too shall pass.
>>208
still annoying as hell though. I just want to go back and lurk around /k/ while i'm bored and there's nothing good on. Need to fill my time with other useless crap I guess.
Anyone think that Gaia did it?
>>211
NO. LURK THE FUCK MOAR.
At least read the damned thread, FFS.
It was a bunch of bored script kiddies from raidchan trying to start a -chan war. The people who need to deal with this are doing so already. End of story.
Gaia doesn't do raids, and even if they did aren't capable of DDoS attacks. Your typical Gaia user doesn't know what a botnet is.
What's most fucking annoying is the fact every single paranoid 13 year old is going to go around blaming everyone else and raiding them even when the smoking cock is already out there. Fuck, I hope /b/ dies. Sure, everyone else will feel the backlash but their Ritalin-addled "brains" will grow weary of it soon enough and gb2/gaia/myspace/etc.
is the ddos attack still running?
this reminds me about last year, same days (21 july - 24 july).
im still reading the IRC logs (yes im
curious, so what? >_< ) of those MOTHERF***ING BASTARDS and it looks like they're only tryin to have their 3 days of glory.
They're nothing more than bored kids, they're only pretending to be ANONSOLDIERS OF LIBERTY.
There is no real reason to DOS attack a TOTALLY FREE IMAGE BOARD, also birthplace of the most of the internet culture.
The only reason is FAGGOTRY.
And shit.
And cocks.
My engrish is crap.

>And don't forget 4nont4lk has been spamming 4chan's /b/ for a while too.
Looks to me like tactics, blamegame. I guess the several attempts were probably connected: first the shitpasta using the idiots to spam the site, later spambots. They use the persistent weakness of the site, for which we anyway need a lasting solution, I would say something like a soft version of r9k for all the boards.
I for once enjoy the free time to sort my images and get some sleep in the hours normal people get it. And wow, there is outside, raining though, shit.
>>219
how about an obligatory tripcode registration?
>>219,220
how about an obligatory same person?
once 4chan comes back up those who are guilty will surely face the true wrath of anon. it won't be pretty. in the past, whatever site tried to spam /b/ got shitflooded and killed. it just turned out that 4nont4lk was a bit stronger, and so survived the initial attack. but they shall fall too, eventually. anon won't miss the opportunity to once again show that trying to get attention to your site from /b/ will result in much more attention than you wanted.
>how about an obligatory same person?
That's about the same, realised by tripcode, even you could see the advantage.

Pure raidcancer faggotry. "Anon is legion, anon nevar forgets!" (meaning: look at me I'm pathetic with the mind of a 13 year old, Hollywood movies like Fightclub and V for Vendetta determine my worldview)
Everybody who wants a personal army can easily manipulate faggots like you: one spambot is enough.
Enjoy your aids, fail and v&.
/b/ suck less at becoming a tool that destroys your own site plz
Fuck /b/, I want the rest of the site back!
Did anyone call the "MAYBE HIS HOUSE" number?
I, for one, will enjoy organizing raids on our attackers once 4chan is back up.
Inb4 personal army, raidcancer, etc.
I do it for the lulz
i just want the other fucking boards, i can go to other forums/chans but its different from 4chan, i dont know.........
any raidfags care to give us any inside info?
>>226
NO MORE GODDAMN RAIDS, FFS!
That's what caused this shit in the first place. People like you are why /b/ is such utter FAIL now. Raids don't deal with this kind of thing, they just lead to more raids, and the cycle never ends. I'll say it again, "LET THE BIG BOYS DEAL WITH IT." Instead of going off half-cocked, and hitting every possible perpetrator you can think of with your petty, little, half-assed raids; let the adepts, who actually know who they are after, and who know how to make it really hurt, do their thing. DDoS leads to serious RL business - it's not for kids.
tl;dl JUST FUCKING CHILL, GODDAMN IT!
>>230 So question... Where did you get the idea that you're more of a "big boy" than me?
>>231 From the fact he weighs 400+ pounds. I'd say that's a pretty good indicator, wouldn't you?
ddos'ing 4chan is like spitting into a wasps nest. yeah you get a couple of the fuckers covered in saliva, but that smug grin on your face is quickly wiped off by a cloud of angry, stinging madness. and all you can do is roll on the ground screaming in agony while they turn you into a swollen pink blob.
>>230
the internetz are turning into isreal sect with moar jews
It wasn't YTMND, and it wasn't Ebaums. If it was YTMND, there would be a flood of YTMNDs made about it flooding their homepage. It couldn't be Ebaums because they're retarded.
TIDUS
>>234
Wait, more? I thought we were already full of jews...
(<-- is jewish)
>>231
I'm not. Never said I was. I said to let them do "their" work - third person, not first.
Unlike you, I've been around the "big boys" enough, and know enough about them, to know that I'm not one of them. For starters, the big boys are not posting about responding with raids, and certainly not on iichan of all places. This is beyond raids, we're talking RL shit going down at this point. I know enough to stay out of the way of that, do you?
>>235
Read the thread. It's raidchan. IRC logs don't lie. Besides which, DDoS isn't YTMND or ebaums' style any more than it's Gaia's.
> IRC logs don't lie.
<moot> i just raped a 6-year-old girlit was in an IRC log so it must be true!
i called "viral"'s number, and he spent the night calling me back on restricted.
Just did a lulzy youtube video on Biaso getting hauled off to prison.
Shit. Still down.
So how many days has it been?
Is 4 Chan really getting DDOS'd or is it something else?
If they are the fucker doing it must be really pissed off at 4 Chan for some reason to be able to keep this up for this long.
I found myself getting wound up by this then it hit me. I was getting wound up by something that has no physical entity. Beyond your computer screen, 4chan has pretty much zero relevance to anything whatsoever. When you are not at your computer then 4chan ceases to exist. So why get wound up by it?
Hmmm. Piratebay is down now too.
Methinks ACTA is coming...
>DDoS isn't YTMND or ebaums' style any more than it's Gaia's.
Someone missed the Internet World War of 2006, but needless to say, it wasn't them.
>>239
One of the IRC logs is over a thousand lines long. It could be fake, but I strongly doubt it.
>>242
It's been down since 2:00 AM eastern on Monday
http://status.4chan.org/
>>245
it's really not that hard to add a few lines to an existing log.
fuck, it was up, but now is down again WHAT THE FUCK! I WANT /a/ BACK GODDAMNIT
>Someone missed the Internet World War of 2006
That was pretty lame, though: just a bunch of poorly-coordinated, weak, individual DoS attempts. No botnets = not true DDoS.
>One of the IRC logs is over a thousand lines long. It could be fake, but I strongly doubt it.
Exactly: it's too elaborate to be fake. I didn't mean to imply that lies are never told on IRC, but merely that the conversations recorded in an authentic IRC log are pretty good evidence of what transpired.
>Read the log: it's not a matter of "a few lines."
>>251
The problem is that made-up (or even embellished) logs always come out looking composed. This one has details people trying to fake it always forget. It doesn't look composed.
>>252
never say always.
i'm not saying this one is fake, i'm just saying that things like this are easy to fake, so an IRC log is not really any kind of reliable evidence at all.
I want /a/ back!
it's almost geass sunday :(
>>253
I don't entirely disagree, except for the "easy" part. They're easy enough to fake, but not easy to fake well. That means that they usually are reasonably reliable evidence.
I might add, that, in this case, the skiddie from raidchan that was at the center of the thing (pacifico) has acknowledged (on youtube) the authenticity of the log at this point, though he persists in disputing his or raidchan's role in the attack (he claims, among other things, that their attack lasted for only ten minutes, that it didn't involve a botnet, and that they don't have capability for the 3-5Gb attack moot referred to).
>>254
It was back for quite a bit earlier, but now it's down again.
>>255,252
I've been ruminating over the logs a bit, and they certainly do look authentic on the first glance, but there's still something about them that's unsettling, particularly the timestamps.
pacifico is a teenager, and as most teenagers are, loves attention. While it's disputable whether he played a central role in the attack, he certainly wanted to be. Maybe he did launch some minor attacks, but I also doubt he has that big of a botnet -- raidchan as their name implies has attempted DDoSes on other sites in the past, but they've never managed much bandwidth.
poor 4 chan. Dam DDoS according to moots blog
Tuesday, July 22, 2008
"The site is still down due to an ongoing DDoS attack.
Remember kids: DDoS is cruise control for cool.
UPDATE: Well, we're still down. Unfortunately, there is very little (read: nothing) that can be done about a 3-5Gbit DDoS attack."

http://wakaba.c3.cx/soc/kareha.pl/1214538141/17
What do you make of this?
I want my /B!!!!!!!!
>>256
>>258
I don't know. There's a lot of confusion right now, as there seems to be a consensus that this can't all be raidchan's doing - if they have this kind of capability, then they've been seriously holding out during previous raids. Nobody seems to know what's going on with certainty.
This is getting serious, though, because an outage of this duration is the type of thing that site owners usually involve the FBI over (and moot has done that before).
can we make this thread /b/?
>>260
lol wishful thinking much? FBI could care less about 4chan, hell they'd probably welcome this, considering all the shit it's given to them already.
>>263
Normally, yes, but I suspect they are going to take pretty seriously anyone who has the capability of this level of DDoS attack, regardless of the target. 3-5Gb directed at one site is pretty big (and given that they are hitting multiple sites at once, their capacity is even greater).
Even though they find 4chan distasteful (and in point of fact, they mostly find it inane, rather than threatening), they have a legal obligation to uphold the law, and, at any rate, they are not likely to want to leave a threat on the loose who could conceivably turn its attention to more problematic targets. What do you think the political repercussions would be if some "legitimate" site got hit by the same perpetrator(s) down the road, only to find out the FBI could have done something earlier, but didn't "because they were only hitting -chan sites?"
In this era when the authorities take every incident of cyber-crime pretty seriously, these people are asking for a visit from the partyvan.
"What do you think the political repercussions would be if some "legitimate" site got hit by the same perpetrator(s) down the road, only to find out the FBI could have done something earlier"
9/11 would happen. oh shi...

IT WAS CLOUD'S FAULT
AND WILL SMITH, AND CHRONOS
This place is full of fail and aids on great levels. I am disappointed, yet not surprised.
Also, cocks.
Needs moar pooper.
niggers
Anyone else think moot might be using the DDOS as an excuse to finally give up? Think about it, in the Time interview he's expressed his frustration over the difficulty in running the site with barely enough money to pay for it, and that stupid cat site making 3 million bucks while he gets nothing at all might be the final straw for him. Added with the incresingly negative publicity and how problematic /b/ has gotten over the past 2 years, and, well...maybe it's time to give up.
Considering all the shit that the site has gone through over the past 5 years, it's more surprising that it even lasted that long. Now that it's too popular, and subsequently too expensive to run, the DDOS is the perfect excuse to shut it down for good. The blame for the site's downfall gets shifted to someone else, while moot can simply sneak out the back door and no one will ever blame him. The end?
>>274
I doubt it. He had just announced that new features and changes to improve the site were coming soon. While some might argue that death would be the biggest improvement of all for 4chan, I don't think moot really feels that way. He actually has been very annoyed about the whole "moot hates 4chan," idea floating around.
If, OTOH, you think he might simply not be exerting maximum effort to get the site back up as quickly as possible - sort of using the opportunity to relax a bit - then you might be on to something. He certainly doesn't take the site as seriously as some of the users do (which I would argue is a sign that he is still sane).
well i dont care about /b/ that much as i care for the other boards..
DDOSing 4chan, like pissing in an ocean of OH SHI-
i miss /k/ so hard. Ive even resorted to airshit forums :'(
It was probably because Alan Moore found out that the kids wearing the V for Vendetta mask weren't fans of his book, just idiots from -chans.
Don't fuck with Alan Moore.

I don't care for shit like /b/ etc.
He should just keep the porn and /x/ (for lulz) and i'll be happy as a fuck.
I fucking miss 4chan like shit. Especially /x/. With all the bullshitty horror. That was the only place I visited. For all that creepypasta shit. 7chan doesn't even begin to compare to 4chan.
I miss my /mu/ ._.
So....any ideas when those fuckers might give it up?
Seriously, are they that butthurt towards an imageboard they have to put this much effort into their bitching?
Seriously, where am I gonna discuss /co/mic Con?
Firefox says Animu & Mango is still my most visited. Dammit.
srs lolz killing here, net needs lest skiddies.

They have nothing else to do since their lives are meaningless and spent all day in the chat room.
who gives a flying fuck if failchan is down? just go an hero you faggots
Maybe scientology f final fighting back.
thank about it, how much trafic dose 4chan get, and how many computers would you need to ddos the site, to get it down for so long ?
Scientology, have bothe the money to invest in all the coputer, or they can get all there followers to do it, and they have a motiv to do so, 4chan did it to them
but ehh its just like .. my opining

why don't you pack some more retarded memes into your sentences faggot
Well, I want my 4chan back >( 7chan smells bad
shit. /k/ should be in Rhodesia by now. ffs.

HURRAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!1
So how long will it be up before your down again?
Also, Piratebay is down....again.
so what are we doing with the splitting of /b/ is it happeninG?
>>296
Just saw that, myself.
I am glad, but mostly because it will help rid iichan of asshats. I'm not sure I'm going back to 4chan with the rest of the non-/b/ refugees. The first two days or so of waiting out the DDoS here (Tuesday and Wednesday), where a a few of us who were sporadic visitors to iichan anyhow were hanging out, but the masses hadn't found it yet, were pretty good. Then the throngs of uncouth children (either in actual age or merely in terms of mental maturity), showed up and turned the place to shit. Suddenly many of the boards were flooded with stale and/or stupid memes, trolling, namecalling, and off-topic image macros - all the things that are wrong with 4chan (and all the things, mind you, that are supposed to be banned, even on 4chan, outside of /b/). I'm sick and tired of that crap (I'll admit that there was a time when I was guilt of it, too; but I've outgrown it), so maybe I'll just stay here and hope that 4chan will contain it in the future. There's no denying that the traffic on iichan/wakachan/4-ch is lighter than I'd prefer, but the S/N ratio is such that iichan may still come out ahead of 4chan, when the quality of posts is considered.
>>300
I don't care what they do with /b/ as long as it gets back to its purpose of keeping the idiotic shit-posting contained. If it actually did its job, I'd probably be more enthused about the rest of 4chan.
So 'bout what time will you be back up? Its 5pm on the west coast here.
Or are you still being Ddos'd?
i miss /x/
=(
>>303
me too fellow x-file.
I just bought the book communion and wanted to talk about it with some people =/
4 Chan still down....WTF Moot!?!
hmmm maybe it was the hiphop sites that got hacked by 4channers, maybe theyre getting their revenge
>>306
Nigga please, those rude boys wouldn't have the botnet for an attack this big
SHOULD BE UP SOON!
where is my 4chan goodness... i miss my /b/ T_T
I WANT 4CHAN NAO!
I WANT 4CHAN NAO!
It's back up, but Firefox keeps giving me "Network Timeout" errors whenever I try to post something. Same for anyone else?
Please?
When I even try and go to the site I get a page fucking load error.

4chan got new IPs. Dump those in your HOSTS file (replace existing entries if you have them) and you won't have to wait for the DNS to update.
and where do we find the HOSTS file? (I suck with computers)
i want /b/
I just had a wank it was really good
Fucking morons, it's not down at all. This is just Chemo.
How to get back on:
Navigate to your HOSTS file (C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc) Then open the "hosts" file with notepad/wordpad and add the following:
206.220.140.2 ns1.4chan.org

4chan's down again. The main page loads VERY slowly and lacks stylesheets, feels like DDoS again. Yesterday it was back up, and soon afterwards AT spam filled /b/ once more.
Maybe moot got a bigger pipe when he moved datacenters, but that's hardly a solution to a DDoS.
its intermittent for me. other people are confirming that the DDoS is back on though. looks like its either a smaller attack this time. it was unreachable a minute ago but now is working, albeit slooooow.
could be a prelude to a larger attack.
>>323
meant to say either a smaller attack OR they havent gotten all the botnets up yet
Now I'm almost certain it's not 'pacifico' from raidchan doing it. A bored-attention-whoring-16-year-old simply does not have this kind of capability.
I'm still leaning towards it being 4nontalk/Sysop/Kimmo.
Why so serious?
4 Chan is down again. I've tried several different locations bt still cannot access the site.
Thanks, that worked. Sorry about my dumb tonight!
4chan being down is one thing. but status.4chan is down as well. if i dont get my daily dose of annoying camwhores, cp, newfaggotry, and ancient meme i could die. we need 4chan!!!!111
i miss /b/ ;_;
i /r/ 4chan
I MISS /b/ AS WELL
it was the only place to help me solve my issues
with funny advice
such as bengay on balls
haha
Anonymous is angry, when we find out who did this we're going to bomb the shit out of them.
With the whole fucking internets behind us
Stop it with the fake IPs, the real ones all start with 207
This is lies, it will ruin your computer.
faggot, those are fake, stop bitching here
Editing the hosts file worked beautifully, thanks!
Is editing the hosts file really working, or are people just full of shit?
I'm sure it's safe.
Boy I wish I could trust anonymous.
It sure works... but since it's widely avaiable it's no chemo for the cancer.
how do i browsed 4chan?
i accidentally a 4chonz, is this dangerous?
Its interesting how defendant people have become on imageboards.
lol im a drunk fag. dependent.
When do you all think that we can go bak on 4chan? I miss /b/...
If you are running Vista64, do you still edit in the System32 folder? It gives a "Cannot create the file" error.
How the hell do I save the hosts file as something other than a text file? It wants to be a text file! I want it to be just a file!
Can't get it to work otherwise.
>>353 save your file as "hosts" in the save as... dialog, WITH the quotes.
Oh, the drama.
Well, I'm going to go make some soup.
tits or gtfo
I hope /b/ just leaves /x/ soon, its getting old and annoying. -_-
It was bound to happen. Someone call Xenu...
penis
Yes I agree, penis
godfckindamnit. gimme back my /y/!!!!!!!!
imiss /a/ /b/ /s/ /hc/ /h/ /x/ /rs/ and more
come back nao
even omegle is boring as hell nao
I think it is a bunch of crap if the attack is in any way related to some sort of vendetta or some sort of narrow minded cyber crusade in hopes of cultural purification (by any entity no matter the "influence" that it commands) because first of all, 4chan is not some stupid place where hackers and deuschbags meet up to plan the ruining of peoplez lives by the means of lulz, 4chan is a crossroads of internet culture, whether people like it or not. The boards, though not known for their highly thought provoking topics, represent a microcosm of a new age in technological sharing, an age in which experimentation is required for the defining of a new world ethics that is consistent with modern technology and information sharing. The 4cahn website is not some promoter of criminal activity and does not deserve in the slightest to be attacked by criminal dipshits, the filth of the world.
>>364-367
why do you idiots keep bumping this thread?
WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU those fucking white knight bastards spammed the fuck out of b and now its closed wonder if it will ever be back up?

For great justice
I miss almost all of 4chan. except /b/, but /b/ is the bit-bucket in which we put all the unwated ones. Everytime the bucket leaks or breaks, all boards cry out their anger and frustration.
This thread should be permasaged. Every time 4chan experiences some minor little blackout this thread draws all the morons here. In fact, any thread created solely for 4chan related discussion should probably be dealt with in the same manner.
i miss /hc/
FUCK WHERE IS 4CHANNNN???!!!
i posted here because 4chan is down
I miss /u/
We will it be back up?
M00t where are u?
i fucking miss 4chan.
/b/ =(
what the fuck another DDoS?
/b/needs to be gone. How can we make this happen?
Begin by deleting the bookmark, and vowing never to visit the place again.
>>388
People bookmark /b/? I just go to google and type in /b/ and then click on the first result every time...

The race conflict had nothing at all to do with the Civil War or the South "rising" in the first place. Learn a bit of your southern USA history, lest you look like an ignoramus.
It's one thing when non-Americans, or even northerners, get this wrong, but people go around casually conflating the Confederacy with the ideals of the KKK just irritate me, not merely because it's wrong, but also because it's tremendously dumb.
If you were a slave-owner, you would not beat your workers. That would render them unable to do their work effectively. With very few exceptions by possibly some brain-damaged people, and many more examples of hearsay and conjecture ostensibly invented by radical supporters of black freedom long after the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation, this was common understanding. (Yes, people on both sides of a controversial issue can be radical, and the concept that blacks should be fully equal with whites didn't enter the mainstream until decades later.)
Next time you want to post a stupidass off-topic comment in some random thread, learn some history about the subject first.
Did it ever occur to anyone that /b/ could have been used to bring down 4chan?
Anonymous has a weakness, which its weakness is itself?
It would be rather poetic.
Moot is dead
and Christopher Poole killed her.
Shit, I miss /b/
need to rollllllllllllll
>>399
civil war was about abolishing slavery and the KKK.
stop making excuses for southern racists.
they beat the shit out of their slaves 'cause they could always fuck the women and breed some more.
stop sanitizing the redneck cunts.
slavery was and is wrong in the first place
(a) I can't believe anyone fell for that troll.
(b) As with any troll, there is some truth within it. The war was sort of about slavery and sort of not: the southern states believed that it should be the right of the individual state to decide whether to permit slavery or not, etc. etc. Natch, they were by and large the ones who were in support of slavery and the northern states were by and large the ones who were against it. But if you haven't studied the Civil War in depth, look up the Horace Greely letter and give it a bit of thought. It's a more complex situation than most people think.
(c) Some people did beat their slaves, sure. That's why there are a lot of historical references to the act of slave-beating, and there are even written works on how to beat them "correctly" so as not to permanently injure them. But! It was definitely not something that everyone did. Also, mulattos weren't worth as much.
(d) The KKK was only founded after the Civil War ended. Watch Gone With the Wind some time -- there's a very cleaned-up reference to the founding of the KKK at the end, when the blacks come into town. (Alternately, watch Birth of a Nation if you can find a copy of it. It's largely about the founding of the KKK as response to the South losing the war.)
By the way, I'm not neither a redneck nor an apologist. I'm from up north; for a couple years I had to live in the deep south, in the bible belt, and the amount of racist, redneck, bible-thumping, closed-minded radical-conservative bullshit I had to put up with has ensured that I will do everything in my power never to live there again. Too bad for the minority of people who were actually rational about any issue.
Fuck man this sucks. Need fappage. I blame tumblrfags. I say we low orbit ion cannon them
