 our best microwallet system, epay.info survived the biggest DDOS in the history of internet!
Their servers must be brutal , their protection is like from Sci-fi.

With this heroic performance, the old record was beaten: http://thehackernews.com/2016/09/ddos-attack-iot.html (http://thehackernews.com/2016/09/ddos-attack-iot.html)

This should be in the worldwide news soon if it's true

Everybody can feel free and in safety, we can join safely this "best" microwallet service  proof: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1720937.msg17230950#msg17230950 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1720937.msg17230950#msg17230950)
our satoshis are in safe place.

or maybe not...

my opinion:

epay.info said they got ddosed by 5TBof traffic. 5000 GBPS of traffic. biggest ever recorded attack in history against a site was 1TB.
they keep lying constantly about their service, they even lied that they are older than faucetbox and faucetbox pointed out that lie and that they steal coins from their users.
they are insulting every honest admin's intelligence by making up all this stuff. something has to be done about this.

Haven't you thought that it could have been a typo?

epay.info , please Think Different :)

For some reason I predicted the answer :D

Also, epay. CF can handle 100GB/s.

Yes, please think different and don't try to take advantage of a type
why would we want to lie about a simple and stupid DDOS ?
the sole purpose of that topic was to inform users.

So, how big was the attack?

i think you just wanted to show how strong is epay.info for "noob" users, that they are in safe..
learn how to code and dont make cycles in php, because it will look like a DDOS :)

Yes CF can handle that ONLY if the attack was through domain, not DIRECTLY to our server IP address

And how exactly did they get your server IP?

so it was direct IP 6 kbps attack? :)
you still not provided how big it was, or if it really was a DDOS, or some admin mistake

ddos is dammed low costs now. its really cheat to take about 2-3 hours ddos service -.-
i also got attacket by about 30000 Victims about 3 weeks ago . it was only about 3 hours .

most ddos dont take long becourse its expensive for bigger pages :D


kind regards

Only if we know, that's the $1,000,000 question.

I think you can easily prove that you got ddosed/or not if you post your google analytics for the last 48 hours, so we can compare and see what happened.
A big percentage of zombies would leave sessions back. Which means, bounce, sessions/pageviews on a specific page would be increased.
There would also be "dead" times in chart. Hourly chart can show a lot of info.

I'm getting involved in this just because I got 6 PMs by people asking me if I ddosed your service.

Wish we could have thought of that, damn !

ifconfig server, reseted at 00:00 GMT

There is no analytic on the server's main IP address.

We have ~30 GB access log that we haven't gone through yet

Would you like me point out why I believe you didn't get attacked?

EDIT: With proof, of course.

Yes please
Maybe we are making a mistake

Would you prefer me PM you or post in public?

PM me first,
I want to know first, maybe we are making mistake
then there will be a sue for our network admin to make us pay for firewall

Interesting situation.. Let us know what you find out gus.

This numbers looks really huge!
A little strange that someone would bother so much to stop only micropayment service .. Not taking anything anyone of course.

In times like these, every marketing strategy is welcome to make a micro payment system stand out to get the most faucet owners to the respective service. At least, this is what it seems.

Mexicantarget lets see a pic of the 6 people who messaged you, I do not believe you
Also you seem awfully interested.. I would not be surprised if you did it

Calm down :) He is intersted, because if this attack was so strong, he must be prepared for this same.. Kazuldur from FaucetBox warn about possible DDoS attacks around one month ago.
And as we can understand from conversation, mexicantarget wants to help more then do something wrong.

please don't comment my threads, your comments pushing me to vomit my dinner.
I hate when scammers commenting my posts without reason.

I'm not sure what proof you guys would like to see. There would be no logs or "zombie sessions" (what...?) if it's a simple volumetric attack. And it's hard to estimate attack size without help of ISP. 5TB over 5 hours is about 2Gbps, FaucetBOX.com was hit with DDoSes of 1-10 Gbps, it sounds plausible.

That said I have no idea what "hardware and software firewalls" was ePay.info talking about. Firewalls aren't really helpful with DDoSes. And "Cloudflare can't be enough always, they can get past it, having dedicated firewall is necessary" doesn't make sense either. To get past CloudFlare either the attack must be BIG (and 10 Gbps is pretty average, not BIG). They probably screwed up their domain configuration. For example epay.info domain is protected by CloudFlare, but it's MX domain isn't... If there was a DDoS in the first place of course. But personally I don't see anything that would suggest there wasn't one.

So,it is equal chance that the Does not happen or was happen on epay! this is correct.

Let me claify this..
In other words, you want to say that CloudFlare should be enough protection for average DDoS attacks and probably for most big DDoS attacks (this over 10Gbps)?

I highly doubt that. Anything that big for a microwallet? And who measured the intensity of attack? Any independent sources to verify that?

It's not that I don't love epay.info. They are now the best option after faucetbox. But fake publicity would do no good to a established gateway.

please read all of my post, it was sarcasm :)
