Have @BlackGun to try and log in now............let us know if there are any issues and we apologize for the inconvenience as we've been hit by foreign attacks for the last several weeks. In our efforts for trying to clean things up on the site this could possibly have affected his account.
Let us know if all is well.
Thanks guys. I appreciation. It was getting lonely without my CFF fix. It's like crack but more addictive.
Probably just cause the Fudds in charge don't like black guns...and they blame it on hackers instead.Thanks guys. I appreciation. It was getting lonely without my CFF fix. It's like crack but more addictive.
@Brangus , While we're on the subject of "Issues". I will receive an email notice that I have a PM here but when I go to the site to read it it's not there??? This has been going on for about 3-4 days now.. Any ideas??
Blocking an IP address at first blush can seem like an effective option, but in practice it is often ineffective against anything other than a "script kiddie" as they're called as the attacker will simply move to a new address.
Instead, you're much better off using an active response tool, such as fail2ban, which dynamically looks for threat vectors and blocks the offending activity for a period long enough to cause the attacker to go away without generating collateral damage for the poor fool who gets assigned some I'll address via DHCP.
Hickory isn't in Poland by chance , is it?
No idea how that could be possible@Brangus , While we're on the subject of "Issues". I will receive an email notice that I have a PM here but when I go to the site to read it it's not there??? This has been going on for about 3-4 days now.. Any ideas??
Maybe in the future, its not needed quite yet. IMOBlocking an IP address at first blush can seem like an effective option, but in practice it is often ineffective against anything other than a "script kiddie" as they're called as the attacker will simply move to a new address.
