4chan brought down by Distributed Denial of Service Attack (408)

> 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.

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.

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.

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
216.213.88.50 ns3.4chan.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.

323 Name: Anonymous : 2008-07-30 00:15 ID:ZyIpkyNk [Del]

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.

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.

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.

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.
