Zacharee1

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

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

Byte Commander

Fabby

I just got carried away a bit.

Zacharee1

Takkat

Watium

edwinksl

Nathan Osman

Serg

dyn dns giving me trouble

Zacharee1

There's ChangeIP

annoying to set up, but it works

Serg

20:21

I've set my android to opendns

Zacharee1

why are you using ddns for your android dns?

Serg

i wasn't. my isp apparently was

Zacharee1

o_O

What about just 8.8.8.8?

Edity

Wat did I just see

Byte Commander

Oh, and @Zacharee1...

Nathan Osman

20:25

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

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander AAAAAAAH THEYRE COMING

@NathanOsman rly

Byte Commander

for you!

Serg

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?"

Zacharee1

lal

Nathan Osman

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

Serg

20:27

nah, too technical for them

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

Zacharee1

@Serg admin

Serg

found it

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

i recall i changd it before going to china

Zacharee1

heh

try admin, password, 12345

Nathan Osman

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

Zacharee1

but we'll also need your public IP

Serg

20:31

that'll be last resort :)

ip: 192.168.0.78

Zacharee1

I bet @ThomasWard would know an exploit

@Serg that's internal :p

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

Nathan Osman

That's probably part of the pun.

@Zacharee1 I do.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman gasp

Serg

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

/24 network :)

Zacharee1

there

happy?

Serg

20:32

found it

David

Wel

Nathan Osman

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

David

I got the network name David

I'm happy

Nathan Osman

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

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman try a Cisco some time

Nathan Osman

20:34

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

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman o_O

how does one DDoS Dyn and succeed?

Nathan Osman

The one we have now works well enough.

Zacharee1

fanshy

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 State-sponsored.

Zacharee1

wut

Serg

20:34

rebooting

Zacharee1

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

Nathan Osman

Marketing tricks.

Zacharee1

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

Nathan Osman

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

Zacharee1

well that's shady

Terrance

20:36

The only routers for me anymore are ones that support DDWRT

Nathan Osman

Yeah, a bit deceptive.

Serg

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

Zacharee1

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

Nathan Osman

But at least it really does get gigabit speeds.

Terrance

DD-WRT FTW! :D

Nathan Osman

20:37

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

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zacharee1

dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/… :(

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

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 I still say state-sponsored.

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

Zacharee1

well no kidding

Terrance

Hopefully they knock themselves offline by doing it. :P

Serg

@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

Nathan Osman

20:44

Hmm...

DDoS CTR wont be loading hashtags today we guarantee it Know the game! https://t.co/wPtfGnHRRz

Serg

how interesting . . .

Nathan Osman

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

(Which, of course, is completely useless.)

Kaz Wolfe

yay norse is down

that's very worrying

Nathan Osman

I have an idea for a new app.

Serg

Seems like Anons are doing this for Assange ?

Nathan Osman

20:49

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.

Kaz Wolfe

i think that's called a DNS cache

Nathan Osman

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

It only caches entries that are requested.

Kaz Wolfe

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

Byte Commander

David

What other really big sites went down?

Nathan Osman

20:54

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...

David

lol

but millions?

Nathan Osman

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

Serg

@David bunch of IoT devices

owners typically don't change default password

David

ahh

Nathan Osman

It's not my Pi, honest!

David

20:55

lol

Serg

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

Nathan Osman

Lol: twitter.com/FakeSportsCentr/status/789564632990113792
