Anyone here presently have problem connection to Mircx server in irc?
I tried all the MircX servers, it could not be connected. I also tried to ping to irc.mircx.com . No response.

It seems to be back up but still unstable, many channels have auto-mute

Servers down? Maybe it's just full.

nope, it's not full and it's not down.

mircx is under an irritating bout of ddos.

So if you want to connect, go through the cycles like was suggested before.

Start at irc.mircx.com. Try 6000,7000,8000,9000.
If that doesn't work after 5 or so tries, try irc2.mircx.com on the same.

If you still got no luck, well ... there's always forums http://www.gotwoot.net/forum/html/emoticons/wink.gif.

For reference, I'm currently connected on irc.mircx.com:8000

mondo:
ddos is "Distributed Denial of Service"
basically that means some stupid kiddie has r00ted a couple hundred or a couple thousand machines on idiotically administered machines or home owned cable modem computers with some stupid trivial exploit or another (that collection is henceforth known as a botnet).
So now that the kiddie has a botnet, he commands it to do something stupid like executing a syn flood, or just throwing a bunch of data (icmp, udp, whatever). This results in exhaustion of some resource or another on the server (1 or 2 big servers versus a couple thousand malicious cable modems trying their damndest to deplete a single point of failure on that big server).

DDOS has varying degrees of success, depending on the isp the server is on, the number and quality of the attack bots, the techniques used to counter the attack, and the resources available to the server.

In this case, the kiddies have succeeded... they've denied us the service we wanted, namely mircx's irc services.

Not much we can do about it though. Just kind of ride it out.

I got on jirc.mircx.com just fine :x


Here's what the ircops had to say:
-Global- Just to update those of you who are connected right now... all of our servers have been receiving very large DDoS attacks since Thursday evening. We are investigating and filtering the attacks as we can, but problems will likely persist until the attacks come to an end. If you have any information on these attacks, please e-mail us. Thank you.

Hopefully this won't last very long.

Do you think the problems will be solved... or do you think aone will change network from mircx to another one?

it's not like animeone is at aniverse right now... it's just a temporary solution... they are still at mircx
