How many packets per second were involved in the attack? The attack was/is at least 20 Gbit/sec. It is my understanding that the FBI has taken over the investigation. To put that into perspective, that's pretty effin big. According to the video above, the largest rumored DDoS throughput was 80 Gbit/s, while the researcher has seen 10 Gbits/s as a high. 20 Gbits/s is massive. I wonder if it's Koobface or TDL as the infector? |

So, how to start. What does it take to make $10 a week or what will your hardware/GPU's accomplish in producing Bitcoin? What are your cards potential? 2 X 5850 First go here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_Hardware_ComparisonThis will give you an idea of what others can do with the card you post. It looks like your card can produce between 240 MH/s - 431 MH/s, of course we like higher numbers. The average hashrate for all 5850 listed is 342.58 MH/s. The average of the top 13 is 400.6 MH/s (This is the number you can hope to achieve with better tuning.) So we can say 1 card has a potential to produce 400 meghashes per second, how many Bitcoins is that? Go here: http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.phpIn box #2 put in the hash rate of your card or the number you hope to achieve. Then go here: https://mtgox.com/ (You can choose low, high or average.) I chose average. Weighted Avg:$5.76598 Now, enter the current price in dollars that 1 BTC is trading for into box #3 and press "Calculate". ______Coins Dollars
per Day ฿0.29 $1.68
per Week ฿2.04 $11.76
per Month ฿8.87 $51.06 This means that one 5850 card, at the current difficulty rate, could produce $11.76 US per week. If you have 2 cards than that is twice as good.  |

I think you should contact these guys!!!!!! ASAP!!!! DDoS Mitigation Steps by Team Cymru starts at 15:32 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6qB8fgE020Team Cymru Research NFP is a specialized Internet security research firm and 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to making the Internet more secure. Team Cymru helps organizations identify and eradicate problems in their networks, providing insight that improves lives. http://www.team-cymru.org/http://www.team-cymru.org/Services/MHR/WinMHR/The threat landscape in shared hosted environments is unique from that of the standard AV products detection suite in that they are detecting primarily OS level trojans, rootkits and traditional file-infecting viruses but missing the ever increasing variety of malware on the user account level which serves as an attack platform.
Using the CYMRU malware hash registry, which provides malware detection data for 30 major AV packages, we can demonstrate this short coming in current threat detection. http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/How many packets per second were involved in the attack? |

I tried downloading it from momchil's forum page and copy-pasting it What did you copy and paste? There are 2 links at the top of the page. You can right click > Save target asor you can just double click the link to download the latest file. Please be aware of the extension: poclbm_py2exe_20120205 .7zThe 7zip archive/extract tool is not installed in Windows as it is third party software. If you don't already have it you can download from here: http://7-zip.org/When extracting, right click the poclbm file > extract to new folder. Allow it to use the file name to name the folder. You will probably have to replace the old files with the new files from the extracted folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\ poclbm_py2exe_20120205There are 24 files total. The only other issue possibly is poclbm.ini which is located in /appdata/roaming/, ... I don't know if you need to mess with this or not.Q: How can I delete my miner settings, or edit them manually?
A: Miner settings are stored in %APPDATA%\Roaming\poclbm. For example, on Windows 7 this path translates to C:\Users\Kiv\AppData\Roaming\poclbm. The file poclbm.ini inside contains the settings in JSON format. There are also some settings in .ini files inside the miner directory, also in JSON format. No registry keys are used, so removing these .ini files completely erases your settings. In the GUIMiner thread there does seem to be some issues with the latest poclbm. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.1120https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.1140 |

Thanks for the guide, but why not use Tails live CD?
Yeah... Tails is a live CD or live USB that aims at preserving your privacy and anonymity. It helps you to: - use the Internet anonymously almost anywhere you go and on any computer:
all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network; - leave no trace on the computer you're using unless you ask it explicitly;
- use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools to encrypt your files, email and instant messaging.
Other features of TAILS include wiping RAM on exit to ensure nothing survives. TAILS funnels all traffic through TOR, while a standard install of TOR only funnels a couple of ports (80 for one). Another strong option for a secure OS is Fortress linux. • Extremely secure default installation
• Latest high-tech security software
• Short software update cycles
• Easy management and installation
• Secure, fast, stable and compact OS
• Full harddisk encryption
• System wiper / cleaner
• "Cold Boot Attack" protection
• Encrypts many types of removable storage devices
• Use your Flash drive as an access key
• Live OS on a Flash drive
• Personal profile on a Flash drive
• Advanced security suite with intrusion detection
• Free Fortress Linux Network (VPN portal) with
encrypted and anonymous Internet access for
secure surfing, email, chat, phone calls, P2P
downloads and more http://www.fortresslinux.org/Runs Openbox Desktop Manager, for safe surfing they have an in house designed web browser. There is a free version but all features listed are available to customers who purchase a packaged supported version. The free version has some of the features listed. |

What mining software are you using? DiabloMiner, CGMiner, PhoenixMiner, GUIMiner? Are you using Windows or Linux? What cards are you running and how many? What motherboard are you using? (This question is just to satisfy my curiosity ) Searching in Mining Sofware, Mining support and Technical support produced 4 results, none matched your problem. |

Windows formatting does not destroy your HDD data, it destroys the MFT and partition table data which points to where your files are located. As already pointed out, stop using the HDD that contains the data you want to recover.
Recuva is very good at data carving on formatted HDD's. You will need a forensic LiveCD (Hirens) to boot your system from that can run Recuva. Hirens is pretty good because it doesn't alter the HDD data on the disk. Note: You will need a second drive to move files found to.
Good luck.

A very nice overview toot. Not bloated with excessive details and yet gives a very good idea of the processes involved.

@humanage What motherboard do you have?

Well you get a momma GPU and a poppa GPU. Leave them in the barn and give them plenty of privacy ...
Is the barn made out of VPN lumber with ntpd windows shut tight?  On Newegg you sometimes come across an open box of the board saving you a little more. I'm partial to the GA-990fxa-UD3 or UD5 myself. I read on BCT someone having difficulty running more than 4 cards on MSI. DeathandTaxes probably made posts in that thread. |

Most of what I read was focused on ATI hardware, I don't know how far back nvidia could go mining wise. Maybe an assembly man could put together an INT or 2.  |

My bet is that he/she is just a middle aged American with a anime fetish or so I can see your perspective. Oshi, which means “Push,” is inspired by a Japanese legend in which the Goddess Amaterasu gifted the first Japanese emperor with her ancient wisdom, in the form of a game. The game is said to have taught the emperor and his court to temper their influence and power with caution. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23935/oshiThere is even a reference to low earth orbit debris that might give some kind of geo positional location.  because government can make the law against bitcoins, when it become enough popular that government become crazy about hidden money (unpaid taxes), and satoshi can finish in the prison or he can be hunted by police. Maybe Bitcoins were created because the enforcement of Laws were unjust already. |

From what I've been reading, it would seem that Phoenix miner has the best chance of working with older hardware. Of course that depends on what drivers you can install. I have an HIS x1950 Pro, probably isn't worth chasing the bitcoins to hash with it, but I could learn from the process.

A kilowatt meter to measure your draw at the wall.
Design your system around 6 cards working and the PSU at 70% load.
A Dr. Power II is good to keep around to measure the PSU's fitness when hardware issues creep in. It'll help to isolate motherboard issues from PSU issues.

Yep. I came, I saw, I posted. I wonder how that would look in Latin? Probably not as poetic.
Thanks for the great forum.
P.S. I know Sat-oshi Naka-moto likes puzzles.

Won't water cooling extend the useful life of the GPU's?
The hotter a semiconductor gets the more it breaks down, no?
Let's say a 5850 working at 400MH/s without water cooling, temps maybe 80-90C, while the same card water cooled producing the same hash rate would probably be 60-70C. Would the 20C difference extend the life of the card enough to justify the water cooling investment?
