Session Ident: LSD
01[18:36] <Hidden> ffff we're still being DDoSed
[18:37] <LSD> I see that, he blocked me as well
[18:38] <LSD> or hes offline.. but after that many stunts at once I'm guessing a block.
[18:38] <LSD> also
[18:38] <LSD> [18:28] <LSD> Hehe, you will like this.. I was talking to infolink and told them someone was abusing their network and they told me they already have a report on that server and will be taking actions soon. :)
[18:38] <LSD> [18:28] No such nick/channel
01[18:38] <Hidden> o.o
01[18:38] <Hidden> lol
[18:40] <LSD> Wait..
01[18:40] <Hidden> hmm?
[18:40] <LSD> I thought your host blocked them at the router..?
01[18:40] <Hidden> who knows
01[18:40] <Hidden> i haven't got word from tira
[18:48] <LSD> Wow.. Still getting hit?
01[18:48] <Hidden> seems like it o_O
[18:49] <LSD> oh site loaded fine
[18:49] <LSD> now it died..
01[18:49] <Hidden> 98.0 Mb/s (98.0%)
01[18:49] <Hidden> inbound transfer still high
[18:49] <LSD> :(
[18:51] <LSD> i'm calling the number he called me from lol
01[18:51] <Hidden> ookay :O
[18:52] <LSD> nevermind.. it was from skype or some other voip, just says a bunch of 0's as the number
[18:52] <LSD> I really would just love to talk to him one last time.
01[18:52] <Hidden> lol
[18:53] <LSD> Have you contacted the host yet? O_o
01[18:53] <Hidden> tira has
01[18:54] <Hidden> waiting for a response from them
[18:55] <LSD> I'd tell them to put you on a gbit port :\
01[18:55] <Hidden> still gotta stop the flooding
[18:56] <LSD> True, but you could filter a bunch of it from the box itself if you could reach it.
[18:56] <LSD> iptables
01[18:56] <Hidden> aye
01[18:56] <Hidden> sometimes I can reach the host
01[18:56] <Hidden> it isn't always quite 100% full
[18:56] <LSD> I'm ping it now, It replys a bunch but also request times out a bunch..
01[18:56] <Hidden> yeah
[18:56] <LSD> pinging*
[18:58] <LSD> I'm passing out.. I want to see what happens though..
01[18:58] <Hidden> lol D:

01[19:00] <Hidden> CentOS 5
[19:01] <LSD> ooo
[19:01] <LSD> yum install ifstat
[19:01] <LSD> oh well, i guess you have graphs
[19:01] <LSD> so it doesnt matter.
01[19:01] <Hidden> yeah
01[19:01] <Hidden> mrtg
01[19:01] <Hidden> http://essencero.com/mrtg/
[19:01] <LSD> wow
[19:01] <LSD> it raping the cpu too?
01[19:01] <Hidden> seems like it o_O
01[19:01] <Hidden> look at connections/min
[19:02] <LSD> O_o
[19:02] <LSD> it wont load anymore
[19:02] <LSD> but it did at first
[19:02] <LSD> oh here it is
01[19:02] <Hidden> yeah it's sporadic
[19:03] <LSD> I feel bad for you guys :(
01[19:03] <Hidden> Dx
[19:07] <LSD> I'm pulling up some of my own stats from when I got hit january
[19:10] <LSD> tinypic is failing me.
01[19:10] <Hidden> lol D:
01[19:10] <Hidden> I just use photobucket xD
[19:10] <LSD> http://i42.tinypic.com/2rxgq6x.png
[19:10] <LSD> some asshat hitting someones site I host..
[19:11] <LSD> they learned quickly it has 0 effect.
01[19:11] <Hidden> lol
[19:11] <LSD> mm
[19:11] <LSD> the attack stopped?
[19:11] <LSD> ping is fine now.
01[19:11] <Hidden> they're doing something I guess
[19:12] <LSD> bout time :\
[19:13] <LSD> does mrtg work for you?
01[19:13] <Hidden> sporadically
[19:13] <LSD> oh it loaded.
01[19:13] <Hidden> whats the current transfer?
[19:14] <LSD> 100m
01[19:14] <Hidden> i see 43.2 mbps
[19:14] <LSD> oh its fine now
[19:15] <LSD> 26.5 Mb/s (26.5%) 
01[19:15] <Hidden> yeah its dropping
[19:16] <LSD> err
[19:16] <LSD> all my pings are timing out?
01[19:16] <Hidden> same for me too
[19:16] <LSD> site loads perfect though
01[19:17] <Hidden> yeah so they just disabled pinging the server
[19:17] <LSD> heh
[19:20] <LSD> it took them long enough to fix it :\
01[19:21] <Hidden> oh it went down under 1mbps
[19:22] <LSD> yeah i see that
[19:24] <LSD> Good to see things back in working order. :]
01[19:24] <Hidden> lets hope they stay that way
[19:24] <LSD> I they put on some kind of DDoS mitigation and not just blocked the ips.
[19:24] <LSD> I hope they*
[19:28] <LSD> I think I'm off to bed..
[19:28] <LSD> Quickly YouTube browsing time though xD
01[19:28] <Hidden> kk :O
[19:41] <LSD> Alright enough youtube, i'm off to bed.
[19:43] <LSD> wait
[19:43] <LSD> Hidden
[19:43] <LSD> Hidden
[19:43] <LSD> are you here?
01[19:43] <Hidden> yea
01[19:43] <Hidden> it went back up again
01[19:43] <Hidden> so evidently, it isn't solved
[19:43] <LSD> ...
[19:43] <LSD> its replying fine to ping
[19:44] <LSD> nevermind..
[19:47] <LSD> http://www.hostdime.com/facilities/status/
[19:48] <LSD> wow look @ all the traffic
[20:28] <LSD> Hey Hidden, I woke up to use the bathroom so I thought id check on things, everything ok?
01[20:29] <Hidden> nope not quite
[20:29] <LSD> mm, let me open ping
[20:29] <LSD> I see...
[20:29] <LSD> How long hsa it been like this?
[20:29] <LSD> the whole time?
01[20:29] <Hidden> for some time now yeah
[20:30] <LSD> did Tira call them again yet?
01[20:30] <Hidden> yeah
[20:30] <LSD> and..?
01[20:30] <Hidden> hasn't received a response yet
[20:30] <LSD> ah..
[20:32] <LSD> ehm.. this is pretty sad..
01[20:33] <Hidden> yeah tira is getting kinda pissed lol
[20:34] <LSD> How long ago did she call...?
01[20:34] <Hidden> dunno
[20:35] <LSD> you relize
[20:35] <LSD> that you are going to have to pay for all the bandwidth that is going into the box
01[20:35] <Hidden> yeah i know
[20:35] <LSD> :x
[20:35] <LSD> what is your limit?
01[20:35] <Hidden> I don't know xD
01[20:35] <Hidden> it's not unmetered though I know that
[20:36] <LSD> Well if you guys are managing to go over it, it must not be that big.
[20:38] <LSD> Do you have access to the dedi's billing panel? Or some kind of panel the host gives to start/stop the box?
01[20:38] <Hidden> nup :s
[20:38] <LSD> I would get Tira to either shutdown the box or do SOMETHING to drop the network.
[20:38] <LSD> Do they not have an emergency number?
01[20:39] <Hidden> you'll have to ask tira lol
[20:39] <LSD> she doesnt like me so I just talk to you :P
[20:40] <LSD> mmm, its ok now?
[20:40] <LSD> Its replying a lot now.
[20:40] <LSD> Pings are a bit high though.
01[20:40] <Hidden> timing out for me
[20:41] <LSD> im getting no times out
[20:41] <LSD> just high pings
[20:41] <LSD> ill see if i can get the mrtg to show
[20:41] <LSD> wooow
[20:41] <LSD> its never been filled that green its like a solid green at the end
01[20:42] <Hidden> yeah it's like they're not doing anything
[20:42] <LSD> the other ones are like SPIKE then drop, but this one is constant :x
[20:42] <LSD> still its destroying your bandwidth
01[20:43] <Hidden> responding much faster right nwo
01[20:43] <Hidden> now*
[20:43] <LSD> yeah
[20:43] <LSD> http://essencero.com/mrtg/localhost_66.7.212.29.html heh
01[20:43] <Hidden> im gonna see if I can prioritize ssh 
[20:45] <LSD> mm so you are sshd in?
01[20:45] <Hidden> i am now
01[20:47] <Hidden> Tamsin says:
01[20:47] <Hidden> *He says
01[20:47] <Hidden> *That
01[20:47] <Hidden> *Hang on
01[20:47] <Hidden> *He says we need to
01[20:47] <Hidden> *Invest in a hardware firewall with uh
01[20:47] <Hidden> *GIGe capacity
[20:47] <LSD> You relize how much that will cost?
01[20:47] <Hidden> yup lol
[20:48] <LSD> mm, well I wasnt going todo this but if they really want you to buy a gbit hardware firewall thats just stupid..
01[20:48] <Hidden> lol :o
[20:48] <LSD> I will tell you some background first..
[20:48] <LSD> Well actually, tell me
[20:48] <LSD> How much RAM does eAthena eat up at WoE?
01[20:49] <Hidden> not all that much
01[20:49] <Hidden> about 30% of 2GB
[20:49] <LSD> Why the ram upgrade then?
01[20:49] <Hidden> that's a good question lol
[20:49] <LSD> anyways
[20:50] <LSD> I have a quad core xeon (2.40ghz) box with 4gb ram and gbit uplink sitting here that I plan on offering VPS's on.
[20:50] <LSD> Including Cisco DDOS Guard and Trippingpoint IPS
[20:52] <LSD> I don't know how either of you feel about this, but I could offer you a VPS for WAY less then your current host with your own dedicated core + burstable to all 4 and if you need 2gb of ram that is fine. (I don't know if you are into this at all.. I'm just throwing the offer out there)
01[20:52] <Hidden> think about it later loll
[20:52] <LSD> I have 10 terabytes of bandwidth to spare as well.
[20:56] <LSD> I'm just throwing the offer on the table and I would normally not offer people a dedicaated core like that but I know what its like to have 1k players whining about the server being down... If they wouldnt of told you to get a gbit hardware firewall I would of not even mentioned it..
[20:57] <LSD> If you do not accept the offer, I would still like to help you guys get a nice box. (If you plan on switching hosts)
01[21:22] <Hidden> got a question for ya
[21:22] <LSD> sure?
01[21:22] <Hidden> is this box sitting in a data centre and monitored?
01[21:22] <Hidden> i presume its at least monitored
[21:22] <LSD> well, if the box doesnt reply to ping
01[21:23] <Hidden> i mean
[21:23] <LSD> it automatically sends a ticket to the techs
01[21:23] <Hidden> oh
01[21:23] <Hidden> pretty standard I think
[21:23] <LSD> yeah
[21:24] <LSD> Also, don't think of VPS as slow.. The virtulization we have has only has 1% overhead.
[21:24] <LSD> (aka you wont notice it at all)
01[21:25] <Hidden> Tamsin says:
01[21:25] <Hidden> *What kind of latencies does his server get
[21:25] <LSD> ember.KuoNET.org
[21:25] <LSD> give it a ping
[21:25] <LSD> that is the node itself
01[21:26] <Hidden> avg 63ms for me
01[21:26] <Hidden> better than our current host
[21:26] <LSD> Its in dallas, texas.
[21:26] <LSD> Your current host is in Chicago..?
[21:26] <LSD> I'm guessing?
01[21:26] <Hidden> i think its in florida
[21:26] <LSD> ah
01[21:26] <Hidden> btw I'm downloading all the stuff off the host incase we need to move it
[21:27] <LSD> Do you want to know what the datacenter's uplinks are?
01[21:27] <Hidden> i'm actually getting pretty good transfer rates
01[21:27] <Hidden> sure :o
[21:27] <LSD> Lets look at your current host first, http://www.hostdime.com/facilities/network
[21:28] <LSD> Now, with this datacenter.. 
[21:28] <LSD> Comcast Peering - 10G:  	    	Up  	    	 Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Equinix Peering - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Global Crossing - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Internap - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Level3 - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Savvis - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Verio/NTT 1 - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Verio/NTT 2 - 10G: 	   	Up 	   	Graph
[21:28] <LSD> Note the Internap.. Excellent for game serers.
01[21:28] <Hidden> *What portion of total resources
01[21:28] <Hidden> *Are allocated to us
01[21:28] <Hidden> *i.e. how many VPS are gonna be sharing that server
[21:29] <LSD> All connections go through their InterNap FCP's and they decide the best route to the location
[21:29] <LSD> I do not oversell, so I would need to know what you require.
01[21:30] <Hidden> hmmm
01[21:30] <Hidden> tira generally doesn't trust VPS
01[21:30] <Hidden> but I certainly wouldn't mind
01[21:30] <Hidden> giving it a shot
01[21:30] <Hidden> you saw our graphs right?
[21:30] <LSD> Like I said before though, Id be giving you a dedicated core
[21:31] <LSD> yeah
[21:31] <LSD> barely passed 500mb usage and that was during the attacks?
01[21:31] <Hidden> yeah
01[21:32] <Hidden> you are also a coowner of SIP are you not? O.o
[21:33] <LSD> no..?
01[21:33] <Hidden> someone said you were
01[21:33] <Hidden> hmm
[21:33] <LSD> I am a staff member of VerityNET though.. I help out around there.
[21:33] <LSD> I used to be a SiP reseller in the past though..
01[21:33] <Hidden> ahh :o
01[21:33] <Hidden> why did you leave?
[21:34] <LSD> nenolod.. the owner..
[21:34] <LSD> he is a complete troll.
[21:34] <LSD> I did not want to work under someone like that.
[21:41] <LSD> mm, there is 3.7gb of free RAM on the node right now.
