[quote4902e="MobileBadBoy"]So it was just the server in general getting attacked?

No way to tell any particular pattern in the packets?[/quote4902e]

it's not the phpbb.com server at all. All traffic is getting clogged up server hops (I assume routers) before the server.

[b4902e]it's not an attack on the phpbb.com site[/b4902e]. This has been happening on/off in the evenings for the past week or so.

Ah, well, at least we can trash all the conspiracy theories then.

Damn, so it's not a conspiracy? Grr.

Oh well, at least now I get what's going on... heh, thanks for the clarification, ffeingol... I may know networks somewhat, but I still need some quick review on occasion ;)

So, it's not the vB kiddies... surprises around every corner today, no? ;)

[quote9b6ad="Kanuck"]There have been a lot of conspiracies rotating around the simultaneous fall of the phpBB.com and [b9b6ad]subBlue.com[/b9b6ad] networks in the past few hours, but after a chat with ffeingol, I can assure you all that nothing fishy is going on. phpBB.com was hit by "another DOS attack", so it'll possibly be down for a while longer. It's been going on for three hours so far, and it's still continuing... so there's the problem.
[/quote9b6ad]
Why'd subBlue go down? Are they on the same provider/server or sommin?
