Being attacked

1. Being attacked

   Well, while the site appears to be safe, script kiddies have launced an automated attack against sites all over the web. In the past two days I have had 20GB+ sucked up from people trying to hack the site.
   
   I have been adding IP addresses of those that have offended me to my deny list but it is almost a meaningless struggle although I have probably saved myself 5GB+ of damage because of it.
   
   If for some reason you hear of somebody being rejected from the site then please let me know so I can remove it from the list. I somehow doubt that any of my users have downloaded 200MG+ at any point though and that is where my concentration has focused.
   
   Just to let you know why we have had 100+ users for the past couple days. No, that is not normal. ;)

   Found a handy little apache rewrite script that catches most of the attempts.
   
   Hope the site is still working for everybody! Will check for angry emails tomorrow. :)
