A Chinese BotNet is Currently Visiting Us

Hi

The 502 errors and overall slowness over the past hour are caused by a very aggressive botnet. Based on the logs, it appears to be primarily originating from China. The traffic looks like automated scraping rather than a traditional DDoS attack.

I have deployed countermeasures that are currently blocking the majority of this traffic. As a result, users accessing from China may temporarily be unable to reach the forum.

I'm monitoring the situation closely and will keep you updated.

Thank you for your patience.

Scraping is what you let me do to your butthole while high off your gourd. Allegedly.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Why would a Chinese website be scraping here? What copyright stuff do we have from China? Are they seriously doing it to build AI data from the misc?

What was the name of that dude on newmisc? ImmortalWarrior or something like that? He had the fucked up avi with no teeth. He always bragged about DDOSing sites and shit.

I bet it was him. He was somewhere in Asia too.

We have no information that it was a website, nor actual proof it was Chinese. We do not know the purpose.

Training data for LLMs is plausible, but I know too little about it.

It has stopped for now. I have gathered evidence and will report it to our ISP. This is just to have the incident registered.

The mitigation will remain in place a while longer.
