We'll be possibly looking into a new server tomorrow. The issue appears to be on my hosts side (My VPS just randomly loses internet, the bandwidth graphs drop immediately to 0, yet the VPS appears to be running completely normally if I connect through the console login, asides from the lack of network connectivity). I've contacted him about the issue 3 times now and received nothing meaningful in response whatsoever (which for how much I'm paying for the VPS is completely pathetic.)

I moved part of what I have hosted on there (completely unrelated to Omnimaga, although I suspect it's what is getting DoS'd) over to Amazon's EC2 server earlier, and it seems to be a really nice and proper interface that may be a decent alternative.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive

Yeah, keep in mind other websites unrelated to Omni but managed by Netham are hosted on the same server.

And yeah, Amazon EC2 sounds like a good idea to me.

This. I have a half-dozen or so sites on there.

As far as the DoS goes, it shouldn't have been enough to bring down the server, but the host was crashing (as in, outside my guest OS), and dropping my networking until I rebooted.

Btw, I figured out what this was. It was a "Read Later" extension I had installed. Odd how that suddenly incorporated the image ad thing :s

Spoiler for IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

If the DDoS attack targets Omnimaga in particular and was from someone that really hates us and intends to continue in long terms, do you think it's blockable or will Omni have to continue living at the mercy of those attacks? Also if every IP/hostnames used for the attack are proxies, does it makes it impossible to trace which people(s) initiated the attack? (although it could be a virus installed on people's computer that performs the attack without them noticing).

Also could an exploit in the new anti-spam be what allows those attacks to happen? It seemed strange that the attacks starts happening shortly after the speed throttling anti-spam (what also causes Omni to be unreachable in Chrome for many people) gets added.

Oh of course how could I forget, netham45.org was down too at the same time. Therefore it's not a targeted attack on Omni phew. I think the news article can be a bit misleading too then. Maybe we should add that several sites were down too?

Is it related to BBaS/BMaC? Back in 2008-09 random people from Steam kept joining our IRC channel to rant at you for hacking or something in Team Fortress 2, and I recall this server is still used for that stuff.

Actually he has access to the site data since he's CalcGames admin and most likely helping manage Barrett's server (on which Netham45's VPS is hosted). The data above is Netham45's traffic during the DDoS attack.
