OKAY this seems to be the Worst of all the DDoS's so far.

Currently, Asof me typing this, Deepbit site is very responsive (not slow)
And my miners connect within 10seconds (usual is like 1.3secs)

Can we seriously get shit going? Looking at the hash rate, Deepbit is Totally offline.

Come on over.  We'll make you feel at home while you wait.  rfcpool.com

Most of us dont want to run around our house and reconfigure every fucking miner.
Those of us that dont do that usually have CGminer or something to AutoFallover. Wich i have not yet done.

Whats the point of switching pools during a Mass DDoS? Seriously.

If you have to run around to reconfigure your miners then your doing it wrong Cheesy

I Know. I know im doing it wrong... But having TV setup and waiting is.... Just not something i've done yet

Agreed, I just learned my lesson, I'm done mining for a week or till the shit stops, tired of hopping to other pools to find out it is working then not. They're all are on and off.

if one was in an AT&T data center (level 1), you could buy DDoS protection service from them.  it works as advertised, it withstood anon attacks on a few places.  but it costs 3-4 K /month.

Ouch, that's a lot of money.  Doesn't Deepbit take 3% off the top for Proportional though, and even more for PPS.  So even at 3%, that's 1.5 BTC per block.  At an average of 30 minutes per block for a given 24hr period, that's 48 blocks solved by Deepbit, and 72 BTC goes to the pool every day.  Even at $4/BTC that's $288 per day, or $8928 per month.  But then again Deepbit pays for invalids, and there's probably some other incidentals that I'm overlooking.  Damn, even at $4/BTC Tycho is still raking it in Smiley

between a rock and a block!
I am still unable to get to deepbit using the deepbit selection in gui..  8:10 AM EST -5 GMT  my block(s) are 98.70.*.*
What do you mean ?
Is the website working for you ? Or you can't access the site AND can't mine ?
The web site is down I can access it here in Toronto as well.

So what software are you using to fight of the attack?

I don't see how any software will help if the bandwith pipe is simply overwhelmed.

inspection would have to be done at a larger pipe (maybe service provider, backbone level for ex.) and then valid requests can be "allowed" to continue while the attack could be redirected...

for ex. if the attack is 40 GB, you need to have counter measures in a spot that can handle more than 40GB traffic.

if one was in an AT&T data center (level 1), you could buy DDoS protection service from them.  it works as advertised, it withstood anon attacks on a few places.  but it costs 3-4 K /month.

the only way it wouldn't work is if the attack is actually sending "valid" work requests and is overwhelming the listener AND the traffic looks indistinguishable between a valid worker.  This, unfortunately is easy to implement specifically for bitcoin....

I cant get my miners to CONNECT to deepbit's pool, I currently have a few CONNECTED, but it appears some form of DDoS blocker style shield is stopping my new connection attempts....

2ghash offline...... "connection problems" Whilst my other cards are doing just fine

Just a Note.

My miners connect and mine. The website is unresponsive.

Mining since May 2011.
Deepbit is back up! I missed out on valuable mining time Sad

Could have mined elsewhere while it was unavailable.  Plenty of pools would be glad to have the temporary hashrate bump Wink

Yes, as with many things in life, always have a backup.  Wink

Can't access website and can't mine - not since yesterday afternoon. Both the website and the pool have been completely unreachable for me for the past 14+ hours.

DDoS is still there, that's the cause of service interruptions. I'm working on this.

   'deepbit selection in gui' would imply my miner. I am also not able to get the website to respond. It would seem the few that have connected are just getting lucky and squeaking in a connection between attacks.....

The site is somewhat slow, so I gather the attacks are still going, but the website seems relatively stable to me, and my miner is connected and running. (I really should have looked into setting up backup pools earlier, but as it is the miner's pointed at deepbit and I've been busy lately so I couldn't mess with it.)

Back up. It's a bad day when I'm being told I'm 1% of Deepbit...
