I'm pretty sure that if somebody is kidnapped and brought into a country, there are immigration rules that cover citizenship.

Hey Mav, my firewall script kicked in and I never saved after banning your IP, it is unbanned again now. LC, 4 hours = 14,400, 240 = 4 minutes.

Hrmm, I increased mine to 1 hour, thanks for the tip.

Aren't there any ISPs in America that don't give out your private credentials. I know that the major ISPs in the UK now suck, and bend over backwards to catch 'offenders'. Anyway, probably about time to seed a little less, use encryption and download some blocklists.

Yeah, I'm using version 1.1 of Snrrrubs directory server. Good luck with finding out the error, Mav.

I would be inclined to say that there are multiple sockets opening up on the script at once (refer to the iftop image above, you'll notice four different silmultanious connections from drpepper.dreamhost.com at once), I can only assume that the directory server is sending an unexpected packet or something unexpected is happening causing connections to stack up and cause a swarm, that's a wild guess though. Is your directory client code open source/available to inspect by any chance? Either way, I'm monitoring all packets I'll inspect further as soon/if it happens again.

Well, I got some E-Mails from my provider when it started to hit 5MBPS upstream, and then I just found what was causing the surge, made sure it wasn't (too) important and killed it. The first spike began on 24th Feb to 1MBPS upstream in UDP packets, then returned to the normal (800 or so kbps) then continued to swell over the next few days up to a peak on 27th Feb where data from upstream UDP packets reached around 10MBPS. Here are some bandwidth recordings for when I realized it started again (at 3MBPS this time). http://bw.krslynx.com/ Seeing as things have gone down to a mere few kbps, it should be fine. Next time it requests a lot of packets, I'll send you a message so you can check on your end too.

Likewise, either way it's using port 4990 (unless dirservers use 4991, I forgot) but if it belongs to nobody in the community I'll just block the IP etc.

24-48 hours. The bandwidth consumption doesn't bother me too much, I've still got plenty I'm just curious as to where it's coming from. Edit: Speeds are lower above, as I killed it for a while to investigate/prepare the server to monitor future traffic.

You should be able to make a .pkg that checks for presence of wine, and if wine is present patches the kernel32.so, if not installs wine + cont etcetera.

I was just curious as to whether anybody else has noticed this: http://dl.krslynx.com/junk_pics/drpepper.jpg It's using port 4990, and is sending requesting UDP packets. I've not checked to see exactly what packets it's requesting (but I am assuming the directory server stats, as I /think/ that uses UDP). If I block it, it will cease requesting packets until midnight UTC, and then will slowly request more and more (up until around 10MBPS). Anyway, in total it's consumed around 150GB of bandwidth, so unless anybody has any answers I'll investigate more and if nothing appears, that IP is getting banned.

Rofl, what's with motifakes and peoples grammar dying.

I don't really want to get into this thread, but I'd just like to highlight that these statistics are all waaay off. American Population: 307,006,550 Rate of Crime: 11,877,218 Crime Rate Point: 25.84 UK Population: 61,399,118 Rate of Crime: 6,523,706 Crime Rate Point: 9.41 Germany Population: 82,140,043 Rate of Crime: 6,507,394 Crime Rate Point: 12.62 French Population: 62,048,473 Rate of Crime: 3,771,850 Crime Rate Point: 16.45 The USA nearly doubles those leading countries, apart from the French, who fail. Also, rating England and Wales together is also misleading, as they're two different countries. You should rate either as the United Kingdom, or England/N.Ireland/Scotland/Wales separately. Also, here are the murders per capita (what matters) for each country. The United States ranks much higher than the other countries. Reply to the Topic: I figured that 'being American' meant that you are a citizen. Seeing as America is only two-hundred-and-something years old (since founded), you only need to skip back a few generations to realize how pointless this whole argument is. For example, I was born in Ireland, have Irish parents yet have both a British and an Irish passport (dual nationality). Therefore, I am Irish, yet a British citizen.

It's not so much starting a fight, than laughing at 4chan/btards/really bad venn diagram attempts.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Nice fail. Oh, and seeing as you're defending 4chan, good job at admitting that you're any or all of the following: * a troll * retarded * racist * a pedophile * against forward thinking * the reason why children aren't allowed on the internet...

Yes, and? http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/a/a3/1135071183922.png

Yeah, brilliant idea. 4chan = 12 year olds that are either learning to troll or getting hit on by the huge wave of pedophiles, pedophiles and a load of trolls. Sounds f'n amazing.

Yeah, it's on TV here - fun show.

I'd be pretty surprised if anybody fell for that.

a slash and a o.

Naw, you sux too hard at trolling to be a btard oldfag.

No, they really are that bad, really.

Blah, Blah, Blah

No, /b/ tards is the last thing we want in this game.
