Title: MtGox, back for good!
Post by: MagicalTux on May 07, 2011, 02:40:06 PM
Hi,

We've put mtgox back online, this time through a level7 firewall (application level firewall, basically it filters bad requests and ddos at application level, which means mtgox should stay online more easily).

Anyway now is the time for some russian guys to attack again, so we can see if it works :)


If my dear russian friend who asked me $5000 via LR by email (then $7000, then more, but oh well) read me, let me say this to you:

If we can live through this, it means we'll have enough anti-ddos protections (for now).

Why is this happening ?
Simply for profit or for another reason?

well, it sure is, but as long as MT doesnt pay what nice guy asks for, there won't be any profit,
and i doubt he ever will pay. :D

http won't load but https pulls up just fine.

It's probably because ddos is still ongoing and they are flooding port 80.

Nope, proxy misconfiguration from the ISP I think. Trying to get it sorted out.

I'm interested in seeing if the solutions we are using are good enough while the market is still small. There is no doubt things are going to grow quite a lot in the future~

Interesting. I tried http just now (while you were editing your post!) and it redirected to https. Maybe MagicalTux was redirecting while you were editing and I was testing? :-)

Nah, I added a header that says to your browser (if it's intelligent enough) that it shouldn't try to access the site without SSL. :)

UPDATE: it seems we have finally fixed the problem that prevented people from accessing the site without using ssl.

Ha! My browser is more intelligent than Littleshops! :-)

Seriously, though, good idea. For sites like MtGox users really should only access them securely.
