Skynet blocked over 7,500 distinct hosts from all over the world the other day before the attack ended (after nearly exactly 24 hours — probably rented botnet for a day.) Because the attacks were against a few URLs, some not receiving much traffic, it’s probably possible to go back through the logs to find the IP address of the attacker — assuming he visited the URL before configuring the botnet to attack it. Not much I could do with that so I haven’t bothered, except maybe a counter-attack ;-) Maybe we’ll have a Freepbotnet haha

It would be nice to fight back, but you know they’d come down on us with every thing they had legally. Too bad.

Thanks for the response.

So you are implying the outage Monday morning was an attack?
