| TechrightsBN | Hello World! I'm TechrightsBN running phIRCe v0.75 | Apr 14 14:49 |
| Techrights-sec | I can't even log in | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | TR, TM, and even HV are all inaccessible | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | vi SSH | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | via SSH | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | $ ping -n -c 3 techrights.org | Apr 14 16:55 |

| Techrights-sec | traceroute does not reach anything either. Somethine else is going on, IMO | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | ssh: connect to host 23.161.112.114 port 22: Connection timed out | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | for what it's worth I have recent backup copies of the dbs from 0345 UTC approx | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | ? | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | things have been back about 20 minutes? | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | outge was from 11:15 or a little earlier? | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | TR is bogged down with 'php-fpm: pool www' | Apr 14 16:55 |
| Techrights-sec | netstat, lsof, tcpdump, fstat are all absent from the toolkit :( | Apr 14 16:59 |
| Techrights-sec | two bots are crawling the site it seems | Apr 14 16:59 |
| schestowitz | just got back | Apr 14 16:59 |
| schestowitz | can't see buffer above "I can't even log in" | Apr 14 16:59 |
| schestowitz | I will type in a hurry | Apr 14 17:04 |
| schestowitz | also typed some crap into terminak | Apr 14 17:04 |
| schestowitz | glad I did not miss much in the buffer | Apr 14 17:04 |
| schestowitz | irc has more info | Apr 14 17:05 |
| schestowitz | noticed downltime in gym | Apr 14 17:05 |
| schestowitz | seems like hv went down | Apr 14 17:05 |
| schestowitz | when it came back online the ddos defence was not running, so tm seems to be the culprit for the load, now running in tmux | Apr 14 17:05 |
| Techrights-sec | there wasn't much, if anything, above that line | Apr 14 17:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, TR, TM, and HV were all unavailable via SSH | Apr 14 17:08 |
| Techrights-sec | and ping | Apr 14 17:08 |
| Techrights-sec | and traceroute | Apr 14 17:08 |
| schestowitz | I have tons to catch up with now... this whole back to gym thing is hectic | Apr 14 17:09 |
| schestowitz | seems to be the nature of reqs to tuxmachines rather than quantity | Apr 14 17:16 |
| schestowitz | still investigating, but I am pretty sure HV downtime isn't related to the attacks in any way | Apr 14 17:26 |
| schestowitz | I have better grasp of things now | Apr 14 17:31 |
| schestowitz | seems the sole culprit is TM | Apr 14 17:31 |
| schestowitz | but the HV downtime may have emboldened the attacker | Apr 14 17:31 |
| schestowitz | I think I can get it under control with some more investigation | Apr 14 17:32 |
| Techrights-sec | how can HV be restarted if it is unavailable via SSH? | Apr 14 17:40 |
| schestowitz | we don't have that access level | Apr 14 17:40 |
| schestowitz | BTW, THANK YOU SO MUCH for looking into it. We're just trying to buy all the things we've long needed to buy. So unfortunately this mess happened today | Apr 14 17:41 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Apr 14 17:42 |
| Techrights-sec | np but I wan't able to change anyting for the better (or at all) | Apr 14 17:42 |
| schestowitz | it helps to know there's at least another person with access while we're out. I think I'll get it under control soonish, I also try to post in TM to signal we're OK | Apr 14 17:42 |

| schestowitz | seems to be calming down now, I also have a separate session to monitor things in the main laptop for now... let's hope the storm is all behind now | Apr 14 18:34 |
| schestowitz | I need more focus for articles, videos etc. but safety and uptime come first so when it all settles I'll do posts. As for OS upgrades, depends on mood of kaniini (having a hard time these days) | Apr 14 18:35 |
