dra007 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Has anyone noticed the unusual large no. of gusts today? The largest ever. The begining of a Chinese invasion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingspacers Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Either a fluke in the system, or we have come under attack. I don't think that we have that many legitimate guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agsteele Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Either a fluke in the system, or we have come under attack. I don't think that we have that many legitimate guests. 24656[/snapback] Well 499 people with us at one time is a large number but hardly a significant 'attack' Perhaps one of those automated bots that appear to be able to post to web based forums which are left insecure was making an unsuccesful visit.

Jeff G. Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Couldn't there be one or more client combinations that silently discard cookies and use a proxy farm, sufficient to vastly over-estimate the number of guests during a simple browsing session?

Wazoo Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 More likely, an Inktomi/Slurp swarm .. on the other hand, I recently responded to a spam attack complaint over in the IPB support Forum with a link back 'here' ... there might be a link there <g> I don't have access to those kinds of logs, so can't say for sure.

thebassman Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 There were several worms that were released the day before yesterday that targetted phpbb and IPB boards... I've seen several boards with similar stats from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
