Bitcoin is undergoing a classic correction after quintupling in price over the past 30 days. The currency, which was trading as high as $265 earlier today on Mt. Gox, plummeted and is now trading at around $150.
We’ve reached out to one of the biggest exchanges, Mt. Gox, to see what happened.
Hi,
This is not really a Ubuntu question, but I need some good advice. And this is a good place to start. :)
I have a webpage set ut at one.com
Now they have blocked my access to all of one.com because they say that there has been a DDos attack from my IP address.
Any suggestions on how to search my computers for the source of this attack? I now that this is not intentionally...
The Bitcoin correction we wrote about yesterday was not caused by a DDOS attack on one of the largest Bitcoin exchanges, Mt.Gox, but rather by a massive spike in interest in the crypto currency, according to Mt.Gox.
During trading yesterday the value of Bitcoin plummet by 60%, dropping from a high of $265 to around $150 (at the time of writing it has climbed back up slightly, to around $180).
I'm going to start running a gameserver soon and I want a way to reduce the the damage of a denial of service attack.
I want to make it so when someone joins the game their ip adress is added to a textfile (can already do this)
and In the event of an attack I can simply use the text file as a whitelist and only allow connections to the server from the IPS that have joined the game in the past.
