hi, sorry to hear about the ddos on msf site. I tried switching svn and am getting this.. svn: OPTIONS of 'https://www.metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk': could not connect to server (https://www.metasploit.com) am i missing something? regards On Sunday 08 February 2009 09:03:16 H D Moore wrote:
Some of you may have noticed that the Online Update feature is not working properly right now. We have been the target of a DDoS all day, and although we managed to dodge most of it (the server load has been 0.0), we did have to point the A record for 'metasploit.com' at a bogus address and juggle DNS/IP to get the rest of the domains out of the line of fire. Right now, you can still access the web site via http://www.metasploit.com/ but will not be able to use http://metasploit.com/ until the idiots trying to take us offline get bored. If you are using subversion on the command line to update metasploit, use the following command to switch to a new/untargeted host name: $ cd framework3/ $ svn switch https://www.metasploit.com/svn/framework3/trunk/ . $ svn update The milw0rm.com and packet storm web sites have also been targets for the last 24 hours. If anyone has information pointing to who is running the botnet (~500k unique sources or so), please contact me offlist ;-) -HD _______________________________________________ http://spool.metasploit.com/mailman/listinfo/framework
