My bandwidth usage has come way up.  Looks like we're under attack.

That didn't work for me last time.

Guys, try speedometer if you want to monitor the DDOS.  I install it like this on Debian:


and I run it like this:

I just started seeing this too.  It's happened twice now.

Does anyone know of a Linux terminal grapher of bandwidth usage over time?

OK, you're monitoring bandwidth usage on your machine.  Thanks for the screenshot.

How can you tell?

Is anyone else having more luck?

Is hallmarking required in order to forge?  If not, since there is a security vulnerability here, maybe it's best if low-balance nodes are hallmarked and high-balance forgers are non-hallmarked?

Yes, but are the account numbers of hallmarked nodes known?  If so, an attacker could target the one with the highest balance.

Wouldn't a big stakeholder have to have the biggest balls in the world to forge?  Everyone knows their IP.  Does everyone know their account number (and balance) if they're forging?  If so, they're a massive target with a huge reward.

That makes forging a *very* risky endeavor!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this type of vulnerability exists in any of the other coins as long as the wallet is encrypted.

Cfb or others:

I'd like to run the Nxt server in a remote VPS for forging.  I'm concerned about the security of my passphrase.  My plan is to destroy/recreate the VPS whenever I need to unlock my account in order to minimize the risk.  Can my passphrase be stolen if my VPS is compromised *after* it is unlocked?

I fixed this by adding my IP to allowedBotHosts which wasn't necessary in 0.4.2.

Same here:

3      0 + 3      409 B   
1      2679679963004712654      644 %

Still having Generate Hallmark issue though:

{ "errorCode": 7, "errorDescription": "Not allowed" }

I'm stuck on block 0 with 0.4.4.  This never happened on 0.4.2.  Any ideas?

Also, when I try to generate a hallmark I get:

{ "errorCode": 7, "errorDescription": "Not allowed" }

Generating a hallmark also worked fine for me on 0.4.2.

Is anyone else having way too much fun?

Yes, as is required for forging.


And if the Nxt server is running on a remote VPS, I would think they would have to intercept the passphrase another way.  I'm not sure what that way would be but I think it would be possible if the system were compromised *before* the passphrase was entered.  What about after?


It does if you're right.  Can anyone chime in on this?
