They are back up now but you are right... they are getting DOS'd... but not because of the amount of requests. They are running a vulnerable version of thttpd, which is susceptible to DOS. thttpd 2.21b on Debian to be exact. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Yates" <jaywhy2 () comcast net> To: "Jeremy Junginger" <jj () act com> Cc: <incidents () securityfocus com> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 6:07 PM Subject: Re: buddylinks worm
I contacted internap.com there upstream provider. There support guy I talked to told me email abuse () internap com and they'll look into it. I emailed the information; but I really didn't think anything would happen of it. The support rep didn't seem like he really cared. I guess I was wrong though. I can't ping buddylinks.net anymore. Although I wouldn't credit internap.com yet though; it just as likely they got DOS'd by the amount of requests and crashed.
