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

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 ;-)
