        This just in.

        Republican Guard paratroopers have siezed the
        Ann Arbor Municipal Airport, opening a second
        front in the war against M-Net.

i'm not sure what aryeh is getting at, but he can feel free to share his
thoughts here.  think we were BUFFER OVERFLOWED?  HAXORED?  all possible, i
guess.

i talked to wwnet.  someone launched a DoS against us last night and our ip
address is being filtered.  hopefully the attack has stopped and our address
will stop being filtered again.  makes me feel really great that people care
so much about public access systems these days.


#9 of 42 by tonster on Thu Mar 27 18:22:20 2003:

Yeah, we were null routed late last night.  I'm on m-net right now
though. :)  Of course, it's through the serial port of ratbert. :)


#10 of 42 by tonster on Thu Mar 27 18:25:33 2003:

a little update: wwnet is not the one that has filters in place, it's
level3.  level3 is wwnet's upstream provider.  It's pretty bad when we
piss off our ISP's ISP. :)

re #6.  That reminds me.  I was driving home from work on Tuesday, and 
when I was getting on to the highway, there were 6 Appache helecopters 
up in the sky right to the left of me.  I thought "Holy Shit, what's 
going on." and just then the traffic dude came on and said not to be 
alarmed cause they were just on a transport mission from Fort Carson, 
WY to Colo. Springs.
heh

resp:18,resp:19,resp:20,resp:21 : I've talked to Rex, and he's
aware of the issue.  WWNet does not wish to call Level3 or XO (their 2
providers, who are currently null routing us) until EOB today, because if the
attack is still ongoing, they do not wish to have their customers impacted.  We
understand this.  Dave will contact both Level3 and XO this evening and have
those null routes removed and plug m-net back into the wwnet network.  Here is
the information I received from james this afternoon regarding the exact
circumstances of the incident:

03/27/2003 @ 13:14:40 james: well last night there was a huge DoS attack
on them... so they are unplugged here, as well as being null routed at
level3 and xo
03/27/2003 @ 13:14:54 james: dave said it was enough to take down all of
xo michigan
03/27/2003 @ 13:18:35 james: it looked like it was a botnet that was
spoofing packets.... some of the IPs were real, but most of them were
not valid IPs
03/27/2003 @ 13:21:30 james: i dont know if the attack is still going
on, but we need to contact level3 to have them remove the filters when
its stopped
03/27/2003 @ 13:23:37 james: oh yeah, we only have 20Mbits from them and
it was full... but the amount of bandwidth wasnt the major problem it
was the packets per second that hurt 
03/27/2003 @ 16:02:54 james: dave said he wasn't going to try to get it
removed from level3 until after business hours... if it was still going
on and it gets removed it would fuck everything up


#23 of 42 by aryeh on Thu Mar 27 23:04:14 2003:

sounds like a bunch of your liberal friends decided that shutting
down m-net as a civil disobedance act to protest the war.


#24 of 42 by polytarp on Thu Mar 27 23:09:48 2003:

More like aryeh threw a fit.


#25 of 42 by aryeh on Thu Mar 27 23:17:44 2003:

your a fine one to be talking ;-)


#26 of 42 by aryeh on Fri Mar 28 08:02:32 2003:

#27 of 42 by cyklone on Fri Mar 28 11:15:27 2003:

We've notifed Homeland Security.

#34 of 42 by polytarp on Fri Mar 28 19:09:16 2003:

I didn't do anything.

THANK U DONEY!


#35 of 42 by jep on Fri Mar 28 19:54:28 2003:

M-Net is back up now.


#36 of 42 by naftee on Fri Mar 28 20:59:13 2003:

DANKS DONY AND JEP


#37 of 42 by iggy on Fri Mar 28 21:28:31 2003:

really? coool


#38 of 42 by jep on Sat Mar 29 02:53:29 2003:

You're welcome.  I'm glad you appreciate my efforts in the matter for 
I certainly strove mightily to combat the awful forces which separated 
us all from M-Net.


#39 of 42 by krokus on Wed Apr 30 14:33:38 2003:

M-box is unreachable.  Trace ends at a Cisco within wwnet.  Is it
another DoS attack?
