[17:08] Goodlookinguy: I think one of the DNS servers is down. I can't access, Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Bing, or Ask, among other search engines and sites. But Zelaron is unaffected, how nice.

[17:27] Goodlookinguy: Appearntly it's a local DNS server from the company running my connection to the interwebs. And jamer, I bet you couldn't DDoS Zelaron. Why you ask? 1, not enough computers to put out such a mass SYN to ACK ratio for the server. And the server probably has an anti-DDoS system in place.

[17:42] !King_Amazon!: Mantralord DoSed Zelaron back when it was beefier than it is now

[17:42] !King_Amazon!: It didn't take more than one user to perform it, I even used it myself

[17:43] System: jamer123 has joined the chat

[17:43] jamer123: hm

[17:43] !King_Amazon!: It worked like a charm

[17:43] Goodlookinguy: Nowadays, it's not quite the same.

[17:43] !King_Amazon!: Oh, ok

[17:44] jamer123: anyways i have the same program wikileaks used to attack visa

[17:44] !King_Amazon!: Mantralord DoSed Zelaron long after DoS attacks were cool

[17:44] !King_Amazon!: It isn't like the internet has been rewired since then to prevent such things

[17:45] Goodlookinguy: No, but the computers are much more powerful

[17:45] !King_Amazon!: Obviously a single person cannot take down a large website without a bunch of zombies, but Zelaron isn't a large website by any stretch of the imagination

[17:45] !King_Amazon!: I don't think Zelaron has even had an upgrade since it happened

[17:46] !King_Amazon!: Other than software

[17:46] jamer123: yeah

[17:46] jamer123: i remember chruser saying that zelaron's hardware isnt up to date

[17:47] Goodlookinguy: But, if it has an anti-DDoS system in place, that's more than enough to deal with it.

[17:47] jamer123: do you think chruser would put one in place

[17:47] !King_Amazon!: I'm not saying there isn't such a system in place, but it seems foolish to assume that there is

[17:48] !King_Amazon!: It isn't like we have customers we have to keep happy and business we will lose if Zelaron goes down

[17:48] !King_Amazon!: I doubt Chruser or WW even care enough to bother

[17:48] Goodlookinguy: True

[17:49] jamer123: i could ddos my own site but im not that dumb

[17:50] Goodlookinguy: My site has an anti-DDoS system in place. So I can't.

[17:51] jamer123: but then gain my site has only a couple of visits a week

[17:52] Goodlookinguy: Considering I had my site down for like 3-months, I'm surprised that I'm getting well over 500 people a week right now.

[17:52] Goodlookinguy: It's probably because of all of my downloads and programs I imagine.

[17:53] jamer123: probly

[17:53] Goodlookinguy: Yay!

[17:54] Goodlookinguy: Local DNS server back up.

[17:54] Goodlookinguy: I'll never take Google for granted again.
