Server Shutdown at 4:30 AM CST

[Vekseid]

Blue Moon and its server have been the target of attacks more frequently lately (mostly individual DOS attempts, but still), so for good measure I want to apply some kernel patches.

Plus make sure this system works on reboot. >_>

4:30 AM CST is roughly 45 minutes from the time of this post. If everything goes well, it should take about fifteen minutes.

What are DOS attempts? Like Windows DOS?

 

[Trygon]

Denial of Service. Annoyed scriptkiddies are trying to take us offline.

I think they're practicing, actually. It's a bit odd. They're mostly halfassed sockstress attempts and SYN Floods.

Or testing the waters...

Sortof.

It would take a mid-sized botnet to shut this server down that way. That isn't particularly efficient.
