Pakistan Defence Forum is back online.

[fatman17]

After having been targeted with a sophisticated cyber attack from a neighboring state, we have recovered the platform for our users. All services should work normally. An update process is ongoing, we will keep everyone posted as it proceeds. Please be advised that we have incurred some data loss spanning last 15 days, apart from that everything else should work normally.

They also not let you use the server.

If the bandwidth is used up by trash packages, then there is no room for ordinary users, and they
will see this as the server is not available.

Did some studies on effect of DDOS using NTP
Send 50,000 packets per second -> Get 50,000 replies from server.
Send 150,000 packets per second -> Get 50,000 replies from server.
Send 600,000 packets per second -> Get 10 replies from server!

The CPUS are only spending their time receiving packets, and have no time for actually processing them.

Welcome back PDF....... keep up the good work webby!

I get worried too, how else will I have such wonderful conversations with you- where I talk and you ignore my presence

Looks like I'm alive again after this cyber attack. Someone banned me for more than 3 months. I wasn't even trolling, but I guess some mods don't like my counter-arguments and counter-questions.

There are ways of thwarting DDOS attacks (NTP or otherwise) and these were invented a couple of decades ago. I'm sure Horus et al know what measure to take. Talk to your cloud ISP.

Was it from Iran?

If it was from Iran they would have said so . lone wolf job .

but when they say "neighboring state" they mean India .

Neighboring state = اسمشو نبر in the OP @LoveIcon @Horus

Maybe we could go to an Indian forum?

Was it from Iran?

Hi,

Welcome to the forum and could you please change the sex in your profile to female. Thank you.

 

[kṣamā]

Damn you know I had to actually work for that period!!

PS: @Horus : pls share the ip details from the attack, will see if I can take it up with some cyber crimes unit.

 

[T-72M1]

nice, I'm back from my ban a week earlier.

and the shoutbox and stickies are fixed

 

[Sugarcane]

Recover all India related threads and posts.

 

[livingdead]

they better recreate those data files... my historic comments shouldn't be allowed to vanish.

The world is poorer and considerably dumber without my comments... mods do find them and republish.. its a loss to humanity if they cant. I would even encourage people to frame some of them and keep in their living room.

IP ban Indians like they do with us on their sites.
