wow . . .just wow . . . .i gotta change DNS on my OnePlus, i can't reach anything besides this site and good ol Google

why

@Zacharee1 Ukraine annexing Russia? I don't believe I will ever be able to experience this.

I'm gonna just keep answering "what" to whatever UD says :p

@ByteCommander wot

@TheXed all i really think is . . . . i need coffee

@Zacharee1 wot

u wot m8

@Zacharee1 i would have thought your past experiences with UD taught you something

@edwinksl I'm thinking they get drunk and then post here

because it's literally gibberish

classic "type random words and hope they make sense" strategy

@edwinksl I often use it...

@edwinksl starred!

Okay, now you're just using Google Images...

now?

It must be Friday...

And sorry to be a bore, but can we use inline pics?

@Fabby nooooooooo

@Fabby Sure, that's probably a good idea.

I just got carried away a bit.

@Zacharee1 LOL! Starred!

lol

@Zacharee1 ?????????????????????????????????????????????//

@Zacharee1 needs eye bleach...

Vitriol would be better! ;)

@Zacharee1 daaaaaym

I have to onebox this one

WAT da hell!?

Okay, you can haz star.

disturbing

No doubt.

lelelelelel

@Takkat can this be a distro?

wallpaper contest would be the funniest WAT photoshops

@Zacharee1 neverwat

We already have Wat-buntu. It's called Ubuntu Gnome.

lol

har har

With WatOffice, FireWat and ThunderWat, Watilus, WatLC Player etc?

Google Wat

Watium

@NathanOsman high wattage burn right there

:)

is there watdns too ?

dyn dns giving me trouble

There's ChangeIP

annoying to set up, but it works

I've set my android to opendns

why are you using ddns for your android dns?

i wasn't. my isp apparently was

o_O

What about just 8.8.8.8?

Wat did I just see

Oh, and @Zacharee1...

@Zacharee1 A lot of domains aren't resolving there.

@ByteCommander AAAAAAAH THEYRE COMING

@NathanOsman rly

for you!

once i find my router admin password, i'll point it to OpenDNS for the whole network

otherwise dad and mom will keep nagging me "what's with the interwebs?"

lal

@Serg You could tell them that there are mean people somewhere causing problems.

nah, too technical for them

dammit . . . i can't find my router password again

@Serg admin

:p

found it

but . . . .i don't think it's the right one

i recall i changd it before going to china

heh

try admin, password, 12345

If you give us the model, we could try to find an exploit for you.

:D

but we'll also need your public IP

that'll be last resort :)

ip: 192.168.0.78

I bet @ThomasWard would know an exploit

@Serg that's internal :p

and the 0.x subnet? Do you have Netgear?

That's probably part of the pun.

@Zacharee1 I do.

@NathanOsman gasp

@Zacharee1 Motorolla , and i know difference between internal and external

/24 network :)

there

happy?

found it

Wel

Yes, Netgear has really really bad UIs but they work well enough.

I got the network name David

I'm happy

GitHub's availability for the last 24 hours is 78.8927%.

@NathanOsman try a Cisco some time

@Zacharee1 I'll consider it for the next upgrade.

@NathanOsman o_O

how does one DDoS Dyn and succeed?

The one we have now works well enough.

fanshy

@Zacharee1 State-sponsored.

wut

rebooting

how the hell does a router have 3.2Gb/s WiFi speed?????

Marketing tricks.

and what's the point? Networks are 1Gb/s usually

The total throughput of all the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels and the gigabit ethernet combined is 3.2 Gbps.

oh

well that's shady

The only routers for me anymore are ones that support DDWRT

Yeah, a bit deceptive.

And we're back in business,github reached, all works

@Terrance I love DDWRT, and I wish my router supported it

But at least it really does get gigabit speeds.

DD-WRT FTW! :D

> "Internet infrastructure company Dyn says 3rd 'well planned and executed' denial-of-service attack underway'- CNBC"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/… :(

@NathanOsman that doesn't mean it's a country doing it, does it?

@Zacharee1 I still say state-sponsored.

A kid in a mother's basement just can't pull something like this off.

well no kidding

Hopefully they knock themselves offline by doing it. :P

@NathanOsman place your bets , which organization. I'm going with Russia

Also . . . I bet my University was having shizstorm in the labs today

good thing it's friday, shouldn't be that much traffic

Hmm...

how interesting . . .

map.norsecorp.com is offline but CloudFlare does its best to serve a cached copy :P

(Which, of course, is completely useless.)

yay norse is down

that's very worrying

I have an idea for a new app.

Seems like Anons are doing this for Assange ?

It will run in the background and periodically resolve domain names for the top 100 websites. Then, when instructed, it will inject those cached IP addresses into /etc/hosts, allowing you to browse those sites even with a total DNS outage.

i think that's called a DNS cache

Nope, a DNS cache doesn't refresh on its own.

It only caches entries that are requested.

so make a cache that saves things. when you make a request, try to get the live. if it fails, push the cached version.

What other really big sites went down?

Twitter, PayPal, GitHub, etc.

> "Dyn says DDoS attacks are coming from millions of IP address at the same time."

Uhm... duh...

That's kinda how DDoS works...

lol

but millions?

If it's going to knock Dyn down, it would have to be millions.

@David bunch of IoT devices

owners typically don't change default password

ahh

It's not my Pi, honest!

lol

And that's why my router had admin password set to something even i can't remember sometimes

Lol: twitter.com/FakeSportsCentr/status/789564632990113792
