but the network is up again. finished so soon?
The attack was conducted mainly by some random 13yo script kiddo using a web-based attacker/botnet, with his minimal Chinese new year red packet money (a Chrismas gift given from relatives to kids equivalent in China, but in cash, usually ~2k CNY).
With limited funding and capacity, the attack traffic is believed to be only around ~300Gbps peak. While the NOC team of xTom did respond promptly, every countermeasure they took was futile. They've tried re-routing from SoftBank and IIJ to local NTT, then re-routing to the US. The network still goes up and down in a "sit-up" manner: It goes up for a few minutes and then goes down for half an hour.
Initially, they even blamed the outage on a bug of Juniper Routers and promised everything would be fixed with a firmware update, but it turned out to be another smack in their face.
The network did go up again, but it's at the discretion of the 13yo attacker: He was running out of funding and decided to call it a day.

Hurts our reputation that xTom has a talented team and dealt with heavy attacks quickly, notified us, and has a superb network to the point where the same people that constantly & easily get upset about everything continue making purchases from them and providers that use them?
You are obfuscating the issue. The issue I am addressing is that you think under attack and having a reduction in bandwidth bill is "good for us",
@VirMach said:
As for the attacks, if they are actually directed at us or as a result of that, it's kind of funny because all they're doing right now is saving us money. Bandwidth usage halved while it's flapping and zero when it's down. So far to the tune of $200 in potential savings.
while not caring about uptime SLA, brand image, and reputation at all. This has nothing to do with the effort on xTom's side.
@VirMach said:
Crazy how everyone keeps wanting to transfer their services there and do everything they can to order in Tokyo, and it's constantly sold out, when we have such a poor reputation. People must have no self respect.
It's not like they have no self-respect. It's like you are the cheapest amongst your competitors. You only charge $9/yr for 1TB of IIJ bandwidth, while your competitor charges at least double that amount. People(mostly MJJs) flock to Tokyo because their BF deal is something like $5/yr 2TB bandwidth. After migrating to Tokyo, they pay less than you pay to xTom, which makes you a loss dealer.
@VirMach said:
I'll gladly provide a pro-rated refund and cancellation for any services in Tokyo, to anyone who has an account in good standing so we can open up more room that will surely remain empty forever due to our poor reputation. I'll keep a tally for you. I'll have our developer code out a button in prominent view to allow everyone eligible with a service in Tokyo to request that.
No need at all. No MJJs will ever consider clicking it. Save the dev cost.
I kind of miss your good old Xeon E5 ColoCrossing days. In 2010s, your reputation was like"dirt cheap, but rock solid, with limited support". If you check out your Trustpilot page, you will definitely find out that a customer who gave you 5-star honest positive review changed their review to 1 star after the disastrous mass migration last year.
The quality of your service deteriorating in an incomprehensible way since then: amateur AsRock motherboard, consumer-grade XPG SSDs, untested Ryzen platform, sporadic outage from time to time with no ETA for fix and RFO report.
Your reputation and the brand image since become this: "dirt cheap, but unstable AF, can only be used at hobby project or tesing environment, with absolutely no support, open ticket result in MJJ flag or account ban"
Mind sharing what has led to such a drastic transformation? Are you on a hard drug that might cause cognitive impairment?

What's your point here? That's usually how it goes. Seems like everyone thinks it's so epic how a 13 year old is able to click a payment button on a "stress test" site and have a botnet route an attack. They keep bringing up the age as if xTom was somehow bested by a 13 year old.

Wow, they're lucky! Good on his majesty to show mercy, if it was not for his decision, he could have unleashed an infinite attack, probably ten times larger for at least months. It only stopped because he decided that he should maybe only waste $300 of his family's gift money.

Only vpn user or spam user will buy small size and cheap plan ,
Website client would buy 1G+ plan, and they are stable and value clients and with few tickets.
Virmach mess up the different client requirements. he don't like tickets and don't like multi accounts.
he's selling the cheap and small plan. it would cause more issues. Value clients can't even get the reasonable ticket response, they will quit later. it will become really lowend user pool.

This is a joke. It's not real, boy.
VPN users may be on a cheaper plan, but need different services in multiple locations, but only use one of them at the same time.
It cannot be said that VPN users are low-level users; they may purchase a higher total amount of services than a single web service and actually use fewer resources.

this makes sense. but to raise prices there needs to be increased value, and that would be improved support in this case.

It's the Chinese new year, and most non-essential sector Chinese people are getting paid seven days off.
Currently, I'm staying in some random rural village(univ winter break), and my (undereducated) relatives had gathered at my home to play overnight mahjong game for five consecutive days, making 50dB noise with my bedroom's door closed. Sometimes people will set off fireworks at 3 am in the middle of nowhere.
It's the Chinese new year's vibe, though.
And the end is nigh: people will return to work tomorrow.

You are right. The attacker is not only the 13yo script kid alone. Other providers selling China route optimized Japan VPS and betrayed users may also be the attacker: during Chinese new year's eve, they gave out a bunch of 30OFF/50OFF discounts ($20/yr SoftBank Tokyo, 600GB/mo) to betraying customers who paid triennially before (they were given bandwidth doubling™ compensation though).
Overall, except for some comments that cannot be understood by ordinary people made by an employee in the V.PS customer group(encouraging attackers to attack customer's VPS, src: t.me/xTomLowB/79), xTom's performance in this incident can be considered professional, they did everything they could in a timely manner.

You need to chill the fuck out. That monkey photo happens to be some one's avatar which you would know if you had been here and looked around instead of flinging shit.
Now I like a good drama just as much as the next Yeti but you seem to think some one around here has something against you. Well news for ya pal we could give two shits about your shit. Also I have nothing against anyone I don't give fucks about their race or nationality.
Trying to force your agenda here will not work. You will not win anything, you will just look like more of an ass then you already do.
LES is nothing like LET. We have no corporate sponsor, it is run as a community. We don't care if YOU think you have a case for discrimination because this place is not a business.

@Chisato said: made you choose a combination of amateur hardware that is unreliable for the VPS hosting
maybe not related, but what do you think about hetzner, seems they also use some home-tier hardware, not VPS but dedi.
Home-tier hardware works well, until it breaks. When it breaks, Hetzner provides prompt support, whilst Virmach tells you "wrong company" for reaching out support(You can check his comments in this thread, edit: He is being funny, don't take it seriously).
For the added complexity and variables for VPS hosting, enterprise-grade hardware(EPYC/Xeon) would be a more mature decision.
Welp @Virmach, please don't take my harsh words in this thread seriously, I typed them here for the main purpose of practicing English during univ winter break at home. You are actually a nice guy, generous enough to support the low-end spirit with unsustainable pricing, just with a little high ego and a little inexperienced.

Overall, except for some comments that cannot be understood by ordinary people made by an employee in the V.PS customer group(encouraging attackers to attack customer's VPS, src: t.me/xTomLowB/79), xTom's performance in this incident can be considered professional, they did everything they could in a timely manner.
@FrankZ
Dear lawful neutral moderator:
In the following conversation, a GIF w/ JPG demonstrates a yellow monkey being crushed by a container hanging from a crane (which was thanked by @FrankZ, btw). Referring to the context, it is clearly an implicit reference to discriminate against Asians whose skin is yellow.
In accordance with your aforementioned basis and definition of personal attack, please state whether this GIF w/ JPG constitutes/should be deemed as racial discrimination and/or personal attack against the whole Asian descent whose skin color is yellow.
Please don't apply a double standard, but give a fair and unbiased answer based on pure rational logic.
Kind Regards,
Some Random Asian Dude
hey @Chisato
I think it's a little bit of a stretch to call brown and light brown yellow. In fact, I think you're just trying to instigate.
Kind regards,
Another Asian With Actually Brown Skin
This time you really have no idea what you are talking about. The two members in question are very old members and friends of mine that play with each other like that regularly. Neither of them is Asian. The Monkey is one of the member's long time avatar.
Great idea for a new guy to get petty with the moderator of this thread. For a moment there I thought you were going to be reasonable, I guess, I was wrong.
That's ridiculous. It was in reply to @imok and that's his avatar picture. Please take that sort of nonsense accusations somewhere else.
Ok here goes and this all I am going to say on this after this you can fuck off to the netherworld for all I give two shits.
You need to chill the fuck out. That monkey photo happens to be some one's avatar which you would know if you had been here and looked around instead of flinging shit.
Now I like a good drama just as much as the next Yeti but you seem to think some one around here has something against you. Well news for ya pal we could give two shits about your shit. Also I have nothing against anyone I don't give fucks about their race or nationality.
Trying to force your agenda here will not work. You will not win anything, you will just look like more of an ass then you already do.
LES is nothing like LET. We have no corporate sponsor, it is run as a community. We don't care if YOU think you have a case for discrimination because this place is not a business.
@Frankz and all the team are volunteering their time and effort to keep this place in shape. If it was me your last post that I quoted would earn you the ban hammer. You are lucky it is not me and it is the team.
I had this whole thing typed out and decided not send it.
Seem I am irritated at the moment and it wouldn't have helped the situation. An irritated Yeti and keyboard is not a good mix.
I believe he thinks this is LET and not LES. Time for the person to get a reality check.
The Yeti has left the building.
I appreciate the clarifying that there are no malicious intentions towards me.
Sorry for the trouble. It's a lesson learned.
so he is attacking the person?
Hey Yeti, sorry to get your hair up.
@theloafingone @ehab @tetech @AuroraZero thanks for the assist.
Who ? Which person ?
maybe not related, but what do you think about hetzner, seems they also use some home-tier hardware, not VPS but dedi.
Nah you had nothing to do with my irritation you never will, other things in life is all.
No need to apologize my friend.
This just hit at the right time and place is all.
The Yeti has left the building.
@FrankZ you handled it fine.
if it went future then we can always do this
forever
@ehab I have been thinking of changing my avatar. Since you are the king of gifs what do you think about this one ?
ITs GREAT
but just for the weekend if you like or when u feel u wanna use the hammer-
long term NO @FrankZ i love you the way you are.
you guys sound real gay.

Home-tier hardware works well, until it breaks. When it breaks, Hetzner provides prompt support, whilst Virmach tells you "wrong company" for reaching out support(You can check his comments in this thread, edit: He is being funny, don't take it seriously).
For the added complexity and variables for VPS hosting, enterprise-grade hardware(EPYC/Xeon) would be a more mature decision.
Welp @Virmach, please don't take my harsh words in this thread seriously, I typed them here for the main purpose of practicing English during univ winter break at home. You are actually a nice guy, generous enough to support the low-end spirit with unsustainable pricing, just with a little high ego and a little inexperienced.
