He didn't take anything down, Rogean and Nilbog did. I also seem to remember a post about a server upgrade at some point which would require some downtime to get the server delivered to the hosting site and for setup. I think that it all just pretty much happened at the same time.
This.

Anyone with $100 (probably less to hit a small server like the emu server, it isn't like it is a corporate web farm) and a contact (usually in Russia) can buy a DDoS attack. It doesn't take any special talent or knowledge. It is about as hard a buying a bag of weed.

Appeasing the attacker will just bring more attacks. The only real option, as many have already suggested, is to pay the price to put in the appropriate protections. Otherwise, just shut 'er down.

The company I work for uses F5 for this type of thing I believe. I don't feel like requesting a quote on it but I'm pretty sure it's quite expensive. I'll touch base with him tomorrow and see what we pay.

But that being said, I think I found our guy!

Like I said, brickwall boys. They handling this like the military should have handled Iraq, by not telling everyone (including the attacker) the game plan. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
