DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I’ve had to put the site into 'attack mode' a few times over the last couple of days - it currently is at the moment.

15,000 ‘guests’ hitting / attacking the site at the same time .

Means a few things are disabled including Tapatalk and there’s extra validations taking place when you visit via the URL - bear with me a couple of days whilst I get to the bottom of it.

I have software running to help prevent these type of attacks (automated to compromise the site or mass AI learning bots crawling) but they find ways through.

Chances are when I interrogate further they will stem from one or two country's IP addresses and I can block that country but I need to find some time to get on it .

You can use the forum as normal by visiting the the usual address but you may get a validation screen and may notice a few things not working - monic stuff though

Thanks

Out of 'attack mood' at the moment so all back to normal. I stress at the moment as I made need to reactive the security measure if we get attacked again later

Back in attack mode

Same time every day we get hit. Hopefully will just give up soon!

Having to play around with stuff but as above all still usable

Thanks Thomas

Cheers mate

It does become a tedious task - we’re all ok at the moment and everything is back on steam including Tapatalk

May be a different case again later today but we will see!

Sorry about those 15,000 simultaneous attacks - my cat walked across the keyboard just as I was logging on. I'll give him a stern talking to.

Does your cat reside in Brazil?

No time to fear, it's Def Con One.

Is that… a PWEI lyric?

Mr Tumble I think

Ah, that's how I remember you best... Grrrrr!

Like clockwork - the bots attack is back just before 5 - must be when Brazil wakes up - so tedious.
