Progarchives.com Under Intensive Attacks

Hi all,

Progarchives.com is currently under intense and continuous attacks (multi SQL Injections / seconds) so it affects the performance a lot and may explain the recents slow loading times and timeouts.

We (Graphix and me) are working are assess to fix this, we have a solution and working on it.

Thanks for your support, in theses though times.

PS: I think ProgNosis suffers from the same attackers.

Indeed. We are eternally grateful

Good luck!

Thanks for all your hard work, M@x and helpers. Sometimes I don't understand people.

Who the f**k does this anyway? Have these people anything better to do? Like jerking off or something? f**k, it really pisses me off.. Losers with a laptop.... and we here trying to make an art form live... while losers take their frustrations on bothering other people....

More to M@x and everyone involved in keeping PA alive...

Don't let these jokers put down PA - after all this is a way of life - prog music. Some losers who has nothing to do just sit on computer and make desaster anywhere they put a finger, it really pisses me off.

Nice one M@X - we knew we could rely on you - even if you are on a world tour...

Ain't that always the way Teo?

It's always the same - you get a group of people genuinely doing their best to build up a great website, and all some can do is stand back, watch & try to screw it up for everyone.

Thanks for the work, M@x.

I don't know the server software, but it seems like the most important thing is to recognize script requests *before* they hit the database layer. Of course if there are simply too many script requests for forum pages which don't submit any malicious information, it's simply a denial of service attack which you can only prevent by blocking the offending IP addresses. And if the attack is launch from arbitrary, bot-controlled computers then there really isn't much that can be done.
