@Hanftychoon Some antivirus software makers have rootkit removal software for free.

The ddos attacks have started again just as pool started to recover.

I look at the pools underneath and say its one of those pool operators. Why I get hit just as my pool does better.
I think I know who it is.

But if the attackers are reading the pool isnt down and is mining. Plus you forgot 1 connection to block lol

We won that block under attack! So attackers are wannabe bad guys! Need to learn better!

Also see an IP from California in the bay area lol I lived there in 1978. Looks like data center

Newbie from South Africa, mining on pool.burst-team.us. Network quality keeps dropping to 0 the past few days.
Any suggestion to fix it?

this is starting to piss me off - 110,000 simultaneous connections established to the firewall in less than 1 hour. There are going to be delays and outages until I find a way to block this sub-human's attack. Advance apologies, I'm working on it.

KitsuneKitten

@haitch theres gotta be something that can be done, i just don't know enough about it to do anything, but yeah it needs to be taken care of, i don't even know why those ... can i call them people? are doing this...

aitor

Check if your firewall can block countries, when you block China and India the load usually goes down.

tross

I seen the same the other day. I went in and banned some connections but like I have a said before I hit one and it change mining like I cut on a switch. There has got to e a better way.

haitch

most of the non pool related stuff doesn't go through the firewall. If this persists then I'll make it so none of it does, and they'll no longer have a centralized source to attack. They can fuck with my servers, but I can fight back.

haitch

@aitor I'm not going to block countries, just assholes. Unlike some other sites this a censorship free zone ......

haitch

@haitch really, really piss me off. There's going to be downtime for maintenance this weekend. Sorry, but I won't be giving notice of when stuff is going down. Just don't panic if you can't connect - it's planned maintenance.

falconCoin

@haitch i def would say random times on these type things... just tell ppl in a thread its possible from this day to this day... it could be down

Burstde

ahhh this is funny guys. I was closing everything too then oops closed my remote access port

haitch

@falconCoin I'll announce when I'm starting maintenance, but won't be giving specifics or a timetable.

Burstde

Can we all work together on this, forget about the pool competition and lets work together. I have turned off a few countries with cloudflare and can get the pool running off of it. But it isn't steady as either cloudflare adds 300ms or slowly less people are able to connect. However between Lex's adding the port 80 fix and cloudflare we can get a little closer to the issue. Anyone know if NXT wallet has any updates that we need? Hate to mention this but was qora engine any better?

Lets call to order a java expert meeting. Lets add the new websocket.io from cloudlfare into our pool software. (couldn't get it to run......pool.ro? Can you add to this)

haitch

@Burstde I don't know why, but the CloudFlare websocket support is not compatible with the Ninja V2 implementation of websockets - don't know why, I can make it work on my proxies.

My infrastructure grew too fast and unplanned. I'll be trying to make everything make more sense.
