Voat is being maliciously attacked (CHECK FOR UPDATES) (announcements)

submitted ago by PuttItOut

Edit 5:

It's not over, they haven't given up entirely. I took down this sticky a few hours ago thinking that it was old news, but Voat is still being probed and attacked so I am putting this sticky back up.

Edit 4:

As many of you know already Voat is still being attacked, but in many different ways. We now believe this is related to Voat not taking down material without a court order.

Edit 3:

We are still being sent high amounts of traffic. For the time being let's just be happy we have remained online throughout this assault. Sorry about the thumbnails (text only Voat is so 1990s).

Top Traffic Last 24 Hours

DDOS Inflow

Edit 2:

This attack is relentless and dynamic. They have found holes in our system and hit us where we never expected. This has forced us to reconfigure our network and site behavior to prevent repeat attacks.

Voat has been put into "lockdown" mode so things like thumbnail generation are disabled.

Edit:

These guys are actually fairly creative. We might have a worthy opponent here. Buckle up Voat.

One of the reasons yesterday's attempt at rolling forward the port code failed was that Voat was being sent DDOS style requests in very large numbers. See yesterdays announcement about this topic.

Voat is at a stage now that the code can somewhat deal with this without capitulating. Usually these attacks only last 10-12 hours, but this current run has been longer in duration than normal so we are now informing the community that we are actually being maliciously targeted.

Below are some interesting graphs showing some stat data:

Top traffic sources in Last 24 hours

Requests over last 30 days

CPU drop when CF DDOS Protection turned on

I'll provide more info when we have it, but PG.

Until then, enjoy having your bits closely inspected. Please don't be shy about it either, just go with it. This includes the ladies as well... ;)

Any chance of a canary update please putt users are getting restless and think the site is compromised - not new I know - and you prob wont read this but if you do Goats would appreciate a refresh on that canary. It's getting harder to counter the concern trolls.

ginx2666 ago

For fuck's sake, I can't get 30 seconds without "Unexpected errors" and having to reload voat in another tab to continue posting. Is voat still under attack?

the_magic_man ago

When are the posting restrictions going to be lifted?

Ifreedom ago

Thanks Voat for not giving up!

ChillyHellion ago

@PuttItOut, is it safe to disable the extra DDoS protection now? Having to wait a minute between posts and getting rate limited when I open too many tabs is really slowing me down.

All these groups behind the attacks are the same, all of them are supremacist organizations. They all have the identical ideology, victim/supremacy.

Voat.co is still under attack. Sad...

So much for your bullshit freedom of speech. This is nothing more than a far-right circle jerk hive now.

CallingOutLefty ago

"This is nothing more than a far-right circle jerk hive now."

So what?

the_magic_man ago

It is freedom of speech. You just need to say the right thing so you get upvotes

Rotteuxx ago

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism.

It's not a perfect system but Putt said it was on the list of things to fix. stop being a winy niggerfaggot and wait.

the_magic_man ago

I have no problem with freedom from criticism. I have a problem with not being able to start threads because you have to have a minority viewpoint on this site.

Rotteuxx ago

you have to have a minority viewpoint on this site.

Said the leftist Troll. You reveal yourself too easily

the_magic_man ago

Brilliant, label anyone's opinion you disagree with as trolling so it's ok that they don't have a voice. The exact opposite of free speech

Rotteuxx ago

No, I'm labelling you according to your choice of words, not your opinion. The fact that you relate to right leaning opinions as minority is very revealing.

the_magic_man ago

"minority viewpoint on this site"

It's clear what I said

Rotteuxx ago

No... "...have to have a minority view point." Is what you said.

Always copy long posts before submitting, this issue has been known for a while now. Was it your first long write up since the attacks began ?

I can be a pain in the ass but it's worth the hassle of getting our bits checked to keep exploit routes to a minimum.

How come they still attack? don't their ISPs do anything against it?

thantik ago

The attack is distributed. This means it's a LOOOOOT of little bits of traffic, from a LOOOOOT of places. From the ISPs point of view it just looks like normal everyday traffic, it's not a lot, and it doesn't cause them any problems because it doesn't hinder anyone from that ISP.

Neroke ago

I see that the attacks online haven't been confined to Funding sites it appears as though all alt-media sites are being hit?

Oflameo ago

I can't post links or PM anyone on the site including moderators because I don't have 10 CCP. This never happened to me before. Is this part of the malicious attack?

10906564? ago

Just go make some positive comments, you'll reach 10CCP in no time!

the_magic_man ago

"positive" meaning right wing comments

rohenheim ago

Lol ok magic man

10907938? ago

Have you ever looked outside of political subs? There are quite a few of them. It's only 10CCP dangnabbit!

Also, you can argue about politics in a respectful manner. Results may vary, but there are several people here who have left leaning ideas and so long as you're respectful and clear I believe you won't be downvoted to hell.

'No deadweight' is how his threads carried away racism's fools, so whiny voat-racists came used their authority to rape rules and ---YES, they changed the CCP score for creating topics: because his truths changed racist's thoughts and they coudnt stop it!..."

These guys are actually fairly creative. We might have a worthy opponent here. Buckle up Voat.

What the problem is? I'm driving solo without a seatbelt. "Fairly creative" ain't shit, I'll show them absurdly creative.

You've probably got a handful of people organizing a bot raid against Voat for whatever reason. At best maybe may have been a dozen.

Until then, enjoy having your bits closely inspected. Please don't be shy about it either, just go with it. This includes the ladies as well... ;)

I'm guessing current restrictions are temporary. I hope anyway

the_magic_man ago

Looks like @PuttItOut has changed things since this thread:

https://voat.co/v/announcements/2077695

Assuming its because of the latest influx of spam. It's a shame that the restrictions effect old accounts.

If you need ccp of 10 to post, free speech on voat is well and truly dead. Can even start a thread or send a pm about it

BurninEpix ago

I got to give it to you guys for keeping your cool and keeping the site up. Places online that people who live and operate in actual reality, and want to converse with other people of the same mindset, is becoming almost non existent. Besides 4chan I'm not really sure where else besides here I can get good quality conversation. And truth be told, I know 4chan requires some level of coolness that I just don't know if I have lmao.

So thank you to the administrators of this site for keeping this last bastion of hope alive.

robabo ago

AmI going to need to login every time I come to the site. I took you guys seriously when you said that all users would have to login when the new system was in place. Is this the future you were telling us about or is it just defense.

Hammer_Bot ago

No, you won't need to log in each time. This just happened because of the code port. It may still happen from time to time over the next week but it won't be permanent.

JohnJones ago

. We now believe this is related to Voat not taking down material without a court order.

How often does that happen?

TheDude2 ago

Court order? Voat had court orders to delete things?

R34p_Th3_Wh0r1w1nd ago

This story has the makings of book, mainstream and made for TV movies as a brand. Break ir down into yearly segments. With spin off shows centering around the different users.

We need details on the ultimatum to piece this story together.

Related to Voat not taking down material without a court order? I wonder if it has anything to do with posts like this:

aaaannnnd voat is now floated with spam, aren't supposed to have a couple of moderators for this?

Dark_Shroud ago

Mods are probably at work or in class (college).

I'm self employed (not for much longer) so I can manage the few subs that own/mod. But I see this problem often where something will not get resolved until evening unless they log in on a break.

The lack of a Voat app is part of this problem, not Putt's fault. Gab.ai, Minds.com, & Mastodon all give me notices on my phone.

MadWorld ago

Guys, go to /v/all/new and downvoat all those motherfuckers!!

New attack has started, same as yesterdays with a slight variation in output

Please donate to keep Voat running!! Remember this, we are all in this together!!!

ardvarcus ago

Hey, guess what, grand-master of Voat? You were getting spammed up the wazoo on Monday, so out of the goodness of my heart I started to downvoat the spam posts, figuring that would at least lower their visibility. What did I get for my trouble? YOU BANNED ME, YOU MOTHERFUCKER! You gave me a temporary ban for posting too frequently! Shit! That's what I get for trying to contribute to this Web site. That's what I get for trying to help YOU out.

And that's not all. I'm sick and tired of getting that stupid "Voat is checking your bits." You've got to do better than that. Plus, every now and them I'm getting a screen telling me I'm denied access, but the next time I click on a link, the post comes up.

Guy, Voat is really fucked up. You've got to get your act in order.

mineMineMINE ago

I didn't do shit and got a 1050. Shit was fucked up and I'm fairly sure cloudflare was a part of the issue. Get over it.

"Not taking material without a court order" That fucker from /r/libertarian ! Oh, if it was him.....

ashekchum ago

Well it may if they can keep it up an attack to prevent the port then, they know voat is financialy strained and can only support like a month or 2 on current revenue with code port. The new port could extend that capital reserves to a year or so. So it could be a play to kill it financially, maybe.

MadWorld ago

Please consider donating to keep Voat running, keep free speech alive!! We are all in this together!

Hey @PuttItOut could you elaborate on this point?

Also, I noticed a TON of spam hitting the default subs in the last couple hours, mostly from accounts that have 0 CCP and a couple hundred or less SCP... I wonder if it's time that we consider placing minimum number of both SCP+CCP before one can post content in the DEFAULT subs?

Fagtardicus ago

its better to let them believe SCP isnt worthless

shwanky ago

@PuttItOut what was the post/material?

schmooble ago

Please consider temporarily disabling new account creation, Putt. See Cancel-cat-facts thread but there's evidence we're being attacked at least on this scale. Either way good to see you're alive and thanks for the update, cheers.

The sjws are only the useful idiots, they have no brains or souls, and they do what their (((masters))) tell them to do.

They're worse than useful idiots, they know they're being used. They don't care, just as long as sexy white males are somehow hurt, that's all they live for because that's what they can't get.

So is this an easy peasy clean up like nuking @SaneGoatiSwear alts & shutting down registrations for a while ?

These attacks only confirms we are a threat. More they do this, more it means we are doing it right.

Any site over 1500 users that doesn't post mainstream news is a threat.

I am a security engineer with some experience in mitigating DDOS and other attacks. I don't know who you have helping you, @PuttItOut, but I'd be happy to join in. Maybe start an IRC chat or something?

If you have some useful insights regarding current attack, you might want to send him a PM. But keep the message concise and to the point. He is a very very busy man; we should try to avoid pinging or messaging him as much as possible.

maxoverdrive ago

The hate for Voat is intense. I figure this is probably an SJW thing, but it could be a bunch of butt-hurt right-wingers going apeshit over pics of scantily-clad girls and that cartoon loli stuff. I think the latter is unlikely because the hard-core righties tend to even moronic when it comes to tech than the lefties (the lefties at least hire out).

PonchoKitty ago

@PuttItOut voat is absolutely flooded. Do you know what's going on?

Goatnonymous ago

@PuttItOut. What kind of spam attack is this? Insane fequency of posting with high upvoats.

Some kind of bot?

10794596? ago

How about block the entire countries until it's sorted out? or at least the subnet? Like I said the best method to prevent such attack is installing a flood protection, and limit the number of concurrent connections per IP of a port . Use CSF firewall and enable flood protection to 443 port, and redirect traffic coming to 80 to 443. Also you could move to OVH. Their DDOS protection can suck large attacks with ease, and it's also completely for free.

In csf.conf file you can add this line. This limits number of concurrent connections to 8 of port 443. Nowadays a browser like Chrome allows maximum 8 concurrent connections per host, so if there are multiple subdomains/domains then each one doubles this value. The second one limits the connections per time based. 20 connections within 6 seconds to 443/TCP port per IP. I am not sure about Windows host, but still you could proxy the traffic. Use a Linux Nginx server in front of the Windows host, and filter the traffic. Nginx is super fast, and it with combination of CSF you could relieve this DDOS attack somewhat. If it still doesn't work, get a OVH host their bandwidth is unlimited, and use it as a proxy server in front of your actual server. In OVH host install nginx and CSF as well to make it more effective. And finally make sure to block all the ports that are not used.

CONNLIMIT = "443;8" PORTFLOOD = "443;tcp;20;6"

I suspect the DDOS attacks are continuing and perhaps he's waiting to see if it will end.

I only ask because I spent so much time helping with Voat testing over the past two months and I'm super-eager for the roll-out to continue... but it's probably wrong to ask because we don't want to give the attackers any warning about what Putt is planning.

Well thanks voat...not only was I first not able to access voat from my laptop but now i am starting completely over as my password wouldnt go in no matter how many times i tried...wtf? So yeah now i cant downvoat (which i hardly ever did anyway) but i am starting completely over...what is going on voat?

10774952? ago

Well

I'm responsible for at least one attack

..

Yesterday voat was down in my country for god knows why and I thought it was because it was regionally banned by cloudflare or some shit, like 502 error and nada ever after

So I installed a free proxy (I know..) chromium (I know...) widget (I know...)

Then it worked... But then I had a piss poor bandwidth, and at some point I went a la wakbar on the "post message " button and then voat went like white page + "the administrator banned you from this site for [insert the spam/flood related semantic formula here]"

...

That is all

vmlinuz ago

That's not what this is at all. Cloudflare doesn't break like that for any other site I've ever seen. If the site itself is down, cloudflare has options including serving stale / cached / read-only content. It will throw up an error when that happens too.

I want to jump on the wagon with my pitchfork out too but the optics of this are really suspicious.

One of the ways to deal with this is stop expiring the damn sessions. They are supposed to be sticky for a reason, otherwise cloudflare has no fucking idea what to do. Could even tie a users CCP or past history to it. Cloudflare itself has no problem punting the relatively low volume traffic.

It's interesting Cloudflare pulled the plug on a few sites that were injecting bitcoin miners into users js.

@PuttItout consider blocking all traffic from Vietnam for a period. Eventually perhaps a CDN like akami would be helpful. Or funtionality like behavior based adaptive rate controls could be added. Open Source options available, such as Fail2ban, DDosDeflate, Apache mod_evasive, FastNetMon, Haproxy, DDosMon, or setup an Nginx proxy. You've no doubt consider other methods as well.

10707035? ago

The whole idea of "if we keep fighting enemies, then we know we're going the right way" is partially a trope from video games (the developers don't usually put giant hallways crammed with enemies in the nooks-and-crannies that most players never explore {at most putting a small secret encounter or some extra treasure down there}, instead trying to guide the player by making the "correct" path also seem much more interesting from the start) and partially a joke/fallacy from military generals (if you start facing opposition that is wearing a different uniform than you're used to seeing, you probably turned the guns the wrong way and hit your own side, but it otherwise holds up in a war scenario).

It isn't expected to be taken 100% seriously, but there is still an element of truth to it (Voat has been the repeated victim of DDoS attacks whenever Reddit died down, we tried to implement some new updates to improve the site's usability or ability to handle spam, or we stumbled onto something huge in our investigations: with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department anon telling the {alleged/apparent} truth about the shooting and the big attempted leap over to a cleaner Linux version, it would be a big sign that we're not on the right path as a site if we didn't at least face some resistance from ShareBlue and their low-IQ spammer ilk).

10706985? ago

The strange thing is that all the major mainstream media networks don't even mention Operation Mockingbird even in their biggest conspiracy talk (like the Charlottesville "Unite the Right is Neo-Nazis" narrative that Fox was spewing at the same time as CNN), but Infowars actually does bother to mention the big issues, and reporters there like Paul Joseph Watson are actually smart enough to share some evidence openly debunking the idea of multiple shooters (such as the 4th floor flashing light that was seen on another video timestamped several hours after the first shooting) even as some of their reporters are making videos focusing on those same debunked videos as proof of their current theory for what happened (a series of events you would expect to happen in a place where not everyone was following the pre-written narrative {even though there has been some signs of "controlled opposition" prominent within the 'alternative media' networks, like the Jew-owned "Rebel Media" that always tries to make people "sign petitions" using advertiser-friendly information or "donate to crowd-funding campaigns" even when they already have the funds to do everything the campaign claimed to be for, and even though there have been plenty of examples of people within the Mockingbird media corporations not following the narrative for key points within their articles, like the WaPo writer who used to work for the "Five Thirty-Eight" poll-analyzing company and discovered through research that "gun control" has never worked and will never work}).

Basically, I could see a few of the people either working at InfoWars or calling into the show being planted liars (like big-Ashkenazi-nosed Laura Loomer, who has routinely pushed the boundary of what is acceptable or believable, like the "stop Trump-mimicking Caesar from dying in a Shakespeare play" stunt or the "Mandalay Bay tells its employees to donate to Antifa-affiliated groups" memo, or the caller who talked about "eating babies on Mars" or something along those lines that the media then tried to put in Alex's mouth), but I have a hard time believing that even a majority of the people there aren't actually trying to get to the bottom of these conspiracies and admit their own mistakes if/when they spread misinformation.

Kal ago

It becomes obvious that the 'msm' doesn't actually cover the truth. My biggest redpill was watching Bill Maher pretend like the documentray 'Clinton Cash' didn't exist. The media knows the truth. They don't tell you truth. They tell you what reality to believe, and it has nothing to do with truth.

A wise man once said that there are three sides to every story. There is yours, there is mine, and there is the truth.

What fucking knows what the latter is at this point. They murdered Kennedy, and they've been spoon feeding us reality ever since.

Nekochan11 ago

The location of the origin of the attacks seems to line up with the countries that have a click farming industry.

Someone with a lot of money is paying a click farm to DDOS the site.

Salbuchi_2019 ago

Nice try, but I don't think that's the reason. Countries ripe for click farming are cheap and cheap countries usually have computers with Windows XP or unpatched versions of newer Windows. My guess is it's easier to take over those computers and thus easier to have a big botnet in that country.

10706896? ago

They say that their advertisers and their sponsors are "routinely under direct attack by big companies and lawyer groups tied to organizations like the Deep State and the Bilderberg group, which is why they don't directly list most of their sponsors", but I've never had any DDoS issues with their sites or apps like I've had with Reddit or Voat (or even Steam or Facebook from time to time), so either they're devoting a lot more unmentioned resources to fighting off the endless hordes of bots or they're not being attacked as much in that manner (with the main tactic I see generally being "search engines and social media platforms try to block links to their site").

Sueshia101 ago

So what on earth would be the reason to "hack" an internet site like this? I realy don't understand the waste of time. Do they do it "because they can"? What a waste...I use my "because I can" to swipe my card and help someone at the food store...what a waste using it here.

Gamio ago

They don't want to hack Voat to have control over Voat they want to harm Voat so that spaces which are not under their control die. If CPU usage is crazy high then the sites responsiveness goes to shit driving users away, if a database is corrupted or damaged then part of the site is lost until it can be restored which takes time and effort, if bandwidth costs skyrocket then it becomes unsustainable.

If youre not on Reddit or Facebook or some other platform they have power over then you are out of their control, they are the authoritarian left who believe anything right of Stalin is a nazi and fair game to attack and undermine in the name of "Social Justice".

Sueshia101 ago

Not a fan of fb at all, don't have a page, never been to reddit have no clue what thats about. Don't even know what led me here for that matter...

All this computer harm to create issues seems like going into someones bussiness everyday and yelling fire. Soon no one will come back...ok. what a waste of brain power...its like being a genius and a junky...stupid.

@puttitout You can always pull a Jester and temporarily point voat at Mossad or FSB or something so when they try to attack voat, they ACTUALLY hit someone who hits back.

Sum-of-Nun ago

You're fun. I like you. :)

YouveSeenTheButcher ago

So then Mossad and the FSB will hit Voat once they see what's happening.

BakedMofoBread ago

Except that we wouldn't be retransmitting their packets, they'd ask DNS for the IP address of voat.co, snd they'd get the IP of smeone they don't want to hit. It's not like voat's in the middle of it in some weird chain.

YouveSeenTheButcher ago

How would* putitout do that?

BakedMofoBread ago

He would update the DNS records for voat.co.

YouveSeenTheButcher ago

If it's that easy then why doesn't everyone who comes under these attacks do it?
Just set up a dummy site and send em there.

BakedMofoBread ago

Because if you wanted to browse voat while this happened, you'd also get one of Mossad's servers instead. May be worth it.

YouveSeenTheButcher ago

Oh. I thought Voat would still be up and running with some method of deflecting the attacks to someone else.

Also, why would someone attack us. Just for lulz?

sheepsexplode ago

Denying legit requests for the site by drounding the site with fake ones.

Like hacking with a hammer.

When you go to voat your request for that page gets lost in the mass of fake requests and will get missed.

Thus denying you the service.

bourbonexpert ago

so do these hackers ddos people have a thousand computers all clicking at the same time?

is it a program on one cputer that autoclicks?

sheepsexplode ago

Both.

Normally a spyware installation lays dormant until the coder sends it a target.

Once all the victim computers are infiltrated you have a bot net. Each one dose send tons of clicks.

Reddit_traitor ago

they can take over computers all over to do the attack. they are called botnets.

bourbonexpert ago

hmmm...that seems like a colossal waste of time. lol

weeds-in-the-garden ago

You're thinking to limited.

1.) How much money could you make by having a service to take out web pages?

2.) How much money could you make if you had an almost unlimited amount of storage?

3.) How much money could you make by slaving out thousands of machines and use their idle process time and run cryptocurrency miners?

4.) How much money could you make by drowning the web in ads?

Those are classic business models for hackers. I'm sure many more have come up. There are so many examples of making money by taking over peoples machines. And, all of that is without being real malicious and running key loggers and file scanners.

Kleyno ago

They have played their hand, seems like, using flaws they have been discovering for months, maybe even years, in an attempt to undermine this migration to a more efficient, cost effective platform.

But the fags will not win - they never do. Plug the holes they have found and continue with your plans for the move. It cannot be stopped, only slowed down.

Have you covered yourself against dns hijacking, shit allways seems to happen to voat when something Soros related happens.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Hopefully this falls into the the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" category. Just came back up for me a few minutes ago.

captainstrange ago

Any social media / open participation site that has 1500 or more members is targeted for monitoring / interference. A lot of this started when the pizzagate scandal was brought up here again recently.

Thats where the real fight is, and its why any where you go, it is censored, downvoted, buried by algols, ddos, etc. Everything else is a distraction.

Pizzagat, Seth Rich. Follow the trail.

killer7 ago

Question: Have computers gotten so powerful now that a site can be attacked 24/7 365 days per year?

Le_Squish ago

We are probably getting attacked by peoples fridges, smart TVs and amazon echoes. I'm completely serious.

NeedleStack ago

Anyone else have to clear their DNS cache to get back onto voat the last hour? That was scary. :(

SteffisCute ago

Well Jews gonna Jew it seems! You can inspect my vag VOAT ;)

10681929? ago

Just install a flood protection. It limits the number of requests from an IP, to a port. So you don't have to check bits in every time.

CarbonBasedLifeform ago

At least somebody is interested in my bits... :D

SaneGoatiSwear ago

i didn't expect TWO real goats to answer (i expected criminal shills rotteuxx and kevdude to respond tho; the criminal shills on voat can't fucking stand me) @hammer_bot hihi

hi, no, niggerfaggots, it's me. i'm 99% censored off of voat, so i just don't voat anymore.

also, nearly everyone that isn't a shill has left. so there aren't many to talk with here - plus i can't have a meaningful conversation with anyone on voat.

chat banned, PM banned, Post banned, and only 10 comments in any 24 hours.

@puttitout is a criminal shill. remove the criminal shills from voat, or there is no voat (disappointed, fuzzywords, kevdude, roteuxx, empress, and about 100 others)

Ina_Pickle ago

These days I usually just check my own bits.

123_456 ago

Someone is trying to stop the truth from getting out.

guinness2 ago

Hmmm, I wonder if there's a way to automate the activation and deactivation of DDOS attack protection based on traffic?

digitalentity1497 ago

Yes.

Adminstrater ago

Voat will survive everything thrown at it because voat is more than just a website.

Wuttier ago

A goat-doll of course.

TheBuddha ago

I love having my bits fondled. It reminds me of the old Voat.

Grifter42 ago

Nothing but ad hominem attacks from you.

You fuck worship at the altar of fuckin' kike tactics, and you accuse everyone who debates you of being a jew when you're the real fucking hooknose.

Obama_BinLadin ago

Re-watch Pippi Longstocking with your kids! Pre-cuck Swedish fooolery. Like kids used to enjoy.

Grifter42 ago

You keep using that line like it means anything.

Fuck you, you insane leftist larping prick.

Captain_Jack ago

They have electricity in Vietnam? /s

Yes, but it is induced by muscle strength

xenoPsychologist ago

you can see my bits anytime you like. i mean...

BlockMe ago

Put up a bitcoin address

RumpRangerRick ago

Having Voat check my bits is somewhat arousing. Ain't gonna lie.

tranny_gecko ago

hold on to your spaghetti kev

Grifter42 ago

Ah, go fuck yourself.

You're trying to create the bullshit consensus that it's only one person that wants you and SBBH in general to go fuck it's self.

You're nothing but a bunch of leftists LARPing as actual conservatives in order to gain control of the website.

tranny_gecko ago

Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have one coding the site? then maybe i could go back to living in reality and not some homosexual and their pet tranny's delusion.

tranny_gecko ago

grift and i are friends and i wont hide that. He is a good dude who reads you like a coloring book. Dont act like you arent invisible in our discord you half asian fuck boy twink.

tranny_gecko ago

nope, they are just highly limited. And when i have to switch accounts to respond to one of you shills, i get accused of "manufacturing consensus".

You know fairly well how i speak. I dont need to manufacture shit you fucking tranny loving beta male.

tranny_gecko ago

False. If you can point out where im trying to manufacture consensus ill donate 500$ to voat, since i smell a donation drive rolling up on us.

It's because of the censorship kev. And your downvoat brigades, for the record. Also, PG is widely known to be compromised by pedophile moderators. I didn't have to manufacture that, people just noticed it.

Grifter42 ago

Typical fuckin' shill tactics of accusing people of what you're guilty of.

Why don't you talk to your friend Beatle/Shroomcloud/what ever the fuck he calls himself now.

lord_nougat ago

You've got to fight for that.

tranny_gecko ago

for what reason?

tranny_gecko ago

you are a fine shill kev.

MightyYetGentle1488 ago

Amusing, we were just talking about you and SBBH accusing people of being sane, when he is active right now, and it can easily be verified who i am.

Don't forget to renew your paypal fund lest Fuzzy ends up not getting his estrogen pills.

WeekendBaker ago

I love when we are in disaster recover mode living in a dumpster fire, just a bit more than when we pretend to be a Reddit rival. Gives the place some atmosphere and communal bonding.

Whose up for end of the world goat sex?

PuttItOut ago

Yeah, weird huh?

Grifter42 ago

Fuckin' phony.

You're a fraud, Putt. You pretend to be for the cause, but you're nothing but a sellout.

Let me guess: Your next move will be a beg-a-thon, where you'll pocket the money like the last time.

Fuck you, fuck your brigading cronies, and fuck you for letting SBBH take over the site, like SRS took over Reddit.

10677986? ago

I thought it was a sudden influx of users. With the recent shooting people tend to flock to the internet.

Mick ago

I reckon

10677779? ago

Hey @Mick, this guy thinks you're god. He's been pming me asking for pictures of your dick

Mick ago

Haha, that's just sick!

CallingOutLefty ago

It ain't Jooz, bro- it's Anglos. This sort of behavior has SWPL college-kiddie written all the hell over it.

CallingOutLefty ago

Same. As soon as the site started cycling through maintenance messages immediately followed by landing-pages for inactive status, that was the first thing that came to mind.

Dollars to donuts it's some autistic CS student at a tech U.

Silent_Chimera ago

LOL, sounds like Reddit itself is getting "annoyed" by us. Can't shut down REAL free speech!!!

Mick ago

So does my wife :p

Ewww.

Mick ago

Just for fun

10677263? ago

Hey @PuttItOut. Just remember that transformers are camouflagd fucking robots man. They could be your computer just having a laugh at you. Probably not but we can dream.

PuttItOut ago

Love it

Grifter42 ago

You got time to respond to that, but you don't got time to address the elephant in the room. You're letting SBBH take over the website.

But you're friendly with Mick, and Shitposter, and you tolerate them brigading, because you've sold the fuck out. You're no better than Spez.

tippyc ago

@digitalentity1497 used smooth shank masonry bits! It's not very effective...

EsciSpectre ago

From Lowes. I have these.

Cool. Love that I'm part of something that scares people.

Super green accounts and random ramblings in the comments... interesting.

E: Wow, just got hit with a 403.

voats4goats ago

You can check my bits Putt, but you might get jealous

jcal22x ago

Would it be possible to redirect a portion of DDOS traffic to random voat advertisers to make it look like they’ve followed a link from here? If so, we might be able to get some revenue off these script kiddies.

norfidforme ago

Why aren't we using that alternative to cloudflare? Forget the name.

Whe things like this happen, how about an update on twitter?

Cheesebooger ago

Maybe next time do the change in the middle of night and tell no one about when its coming

10675925? ago

I don't Voat nekkidz, Puttsy. Stawp tryna lookit muh tets.

MadWorld ago

I thought you were rolling the ported code the second time today and was very very excited! Damn those fuckers picked a very good timing to execute this attack. How many unique IP addresses were involved? Which specific parts were been attacked? Maybe when the dust settles, we, as a community, could discuss potential ways to protect Voat.

PuttItOut ago

I'll try to do a summary in v/voatdev with the order of events this attack involved.

Rotteuxx ago

I think not !!!

HeavyBeefCurtain ago

Damn, those Islamists really want to fuck us goats...

PraiseIPU ago

Side note: ice cat mobile wont even let me in past the bits checking

But BeHe browser mobile will.

Oddly this is on my phone. My android table ice cat works fine.

Yer shits all retarded and you check bits like a fag.

idk ago

I'm having trouble with boats, it's probably related.

PraiseIPU ago

Boats is still a thing?

Didnt even know there were any apps still supported

ExpertShitposter ago

FUCKING MICK DETECTED.

Bosna & Hezegovina. I knew @atko was behind this!

Vic_V ago

Can you give a precise time for when the ddos happened?

wellendowedduckling ago

Neat. I like graphs.

username-way-too-lon ago

Is anyone else suspicious of the motives of this attack on Voat? It happened at the same time as the Vegas shooting.

Something doesn't feel right about any of this. My intuition is telling me something big is being covered up.

Cat-hax ago

just a coincidence im sure.

ginx2666 ago

Can't you request block of entire Asia (count Ukraine in Asia, it's Russia's bitch anyway), Africa, and South America continents from your host? It's what our sysadmin does when our subnet (large petrol company) gets attacked, and it blocks nearly all of malicious requests. Plus it's not like we care if anyone from those shitholes gets access to our services.

AsTimeGoesBy ago

Women are above this shit guys.

It's about time we admitted this as the primo dominant intellectual class.

I discovered some Christian breadcrumbs on the hacking front, I'm thinking Westburrough Baptists, probably.

CrustyBeaver52 ago

Just a minute - inspection does not mean fondle!

... and no purring noises or other emotional expressions either... especially no smiling while putting on the gloves.

MkeAmericaGreatAgain ago

So first it was money then somehow the money wasnt a problem then we had to upgrade and it failed because of planning now its were being attacked. Whatever happened with the money problem? Seems like a lot of money came out of no where and no one got any recognition for it? Would love to thank the kind loving soul that footed the bill for this website that is just adored by the masses

kneo24 ago

How about if I "pay it forward" and touch you were Putt touched me.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

there is more censorship on voat than there is on reddit, just slightly less banning relative to volume

@puttitout is a fat SJW from r/ shitredditsays

the only remaining users of voat are idiots, the criminal shills, and those enjoying watching it burn.

AmaleksHairyAss ago

It was with great pleasure I donated to Voat in your name. I hope you never manage to get that badge off your account.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

lol the criminal shills had to censor me off voat. now they're using the 1990 defamation per se over on gab - - even the CEO's MOTHER jumped in with it! AYYYLMAO shills are so powerless against the real goats they have to resort to this level of behavior. my sides, past pluto.

redpilldessert ago

If you put as much time and energy into the alt-right movement as you do into trolling on Voat, we'd wake the world up to the white genocide agenda twice as quick.

SelfReferenceParadox ago

You should make a post instead of a comment so everyone can see this.

captainstrange ago

you're not even a shill SaneGoat. You're just a narcissist--the garden variety of trolls.

I thoroughly enjoy watching your persecution complex unfold in every one of your posts.

Failure ago

Not just a narcissist, schizophrenic. Compare symptoms with Sane's account

10694282? ago

Have you considered its more than one person?

SaneGoatiSwear ago

remember folks, the criminal shills posted just enough responses to bury mine. this is how the SJWs like @puttitout operate voat.

casprus ago

you are such a beautiful twink

kneo24 ago

Why did you go on a campaign spanning many months, under many alts, shared by multiple people, vote manipulating like crazy, pushing these narratives? If what you ever wrote were true, you certainly never provided proof for it. All you have done is use emotional and decisive language like, "SJW" and "criminal shills" (whatever that means given the context).

JoeMontana ago

That's easy to follow logic.

gbiota1 ago

Thanks for everything you do, This platform is so important for freedom of information. Many of us are rooting for you.

ArsCortica ago

So, who got triggered this time 'round?

Rotteuxx ago

Huh, and @Sanegoatiswear just started commenting on his OG account 6 days ago... then Vegas happened while Voat was being DDOSed...

  • (((Sanegoat)))
  • (((6))) gorillion days of activity
  • (((Mass Shooting)))
  • (((DDOS)))

Better get the gang to investigate this !

railripper2 ago

Never thought of it that way but I would say your right.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

I would say your right...

Are we ever going to find out how this ends? His right foot? His right to life?

IcarusBen ago

As different as Voat is, comments like these prove it's still Reddit at heart.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

The illiterate will always be with us, just like the poor.

dontdoxxmebro ago

The right only cares about the unborn having a right to life. Everyone else is a cuck, Jew or nigger.

Thank you so much for being so very supportive and informative.

Cause I'm the leader of your order.

Vvswiftvv17 ago

Glad we are back! I had to visit /pol this morning to make sense and get info about the shooting....(shudders).I laughed at things I shouldn't have laughed at, read conspiracy stories that went down dark deep rabbit holes, and listened to the rantings and ravings of posters that made me question their sanity. I want a coloring book and safe space now.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Halfchan or fullchan?

Vvswiftvv17 ago

What's the difference?

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Some might say (and I've seen them say it!) that halfchan is full of lefties and faggots. But it's otherwise known as 4chan.

Kill-Commies ago

It is, every other poster is some anime fag on 4chan

Vvswiftvv17 ago

Oh.

Realhero34 ago

Heh, so Voat has been under a DDOS attack since at least yesterday, and Ghostbin has been down since yesterday as well. Hmmm........

10675132? ago

Oh, THERE's the "Russian connection" that they keep claiming sites like Voat have, we just have to look at the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine who violently overthrew their democractically-elected government and have been working closely with Hillary and Obama for years now.

while it was nice of you to give us the heads up sticky about the transition being planned for the past weekend, it looks like that corresponds to attacks. for a non-computertech but analytical person, following this is interesting. appreciate your openness in sharing the behind the scene happenings

uvulectomy ago

Having my bits checked is more action than I've had in months. Do what you must, but be gentle. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

10674977? ago

Interesting, but I think the "Yawn" in the title summarizes things nicely. Voat goats are not so easily defeated. EDIT: Though this is clearly a worthy opponent.

Great work as always, Putt. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

obvious-throwaway- ago

One would have to wonder if after a certain point the companies that provide protection from DDOS attacks, like Cloudflare, could possibly be the ones implementing the attacks, but you didn't hear that from me.

hypercat ago

It's probably the feds. They want to keep the news the way the upper echelon wants it. So any alternative news or chatter scares them.

Salbuchi_2019 ago

DDoS were a thing way before Cloudflare existed.

hrdtak ago

True, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be good for business if it happened more frequently to people not using their service.

Not saying they are, but they would definitely have a motive to do it.

teatime ago

DDoS is a pretty basic attack. There are enough retards out there who want to feel like badass hackerz that I'd be shocked if companies like Cloudflare had to implement their own attacks.

Wahaha ago

..but what would happen to Cloudflare if they'd be gone for good?

JustWonderful ago

Nothing. They provide DDoS protection for free nowadays. They take their monies from other services they offer

obvious-throwaway- ago

Malware was around before anti-virus software, but whose keeping track.

AmaleksHairyAss ago

I don't want to start the rumor that it's Reddit trying to stop the competition, but I totally want to start that rumor.

idk ago

I don't want to start the rumor that voat has information regarding hilary Clinton, but I totally want to start that rumor.

FatShamingShitLady ago

I don't want to start the rumour that Regina George is getting fat but have you seen the size of her ass lately??

LlamaMan ago

Whoa! Much new traffic congratulations Voat

R34p_Th3_Wh0r1w1nd ago

My fee fees hurt so I am going to computer you. It makes feel better about being a fat, faggot, tranny, jew, who identifies as a white muslim.

KikeFree ago

Maybe you should require an account to get a session id that allows you to do anything apart from browse static pages that are regenerated every hour or day?

If people aren't logged in they can still read cached stuff, but they don't get to hit anything but static pages, so it doesn't take up a lot of system resources dealing with bullshit requests.

goddamn gooks

10681915? ago

I doubt it's vietnamese. Most of the people in here asian countries don't have time or resources to do something like this, they are busy earning money, providing their families. So I suspect it might be an infected server or something. I remember I received this SSH attacks from Microsoft China, then I found that it's from this infected server.

10675160? ago

Ever since Domino Theory made us mistakenly believe that the Vietnamese would side with China in the long-run if we didn't stop them and the Democrats sabotaged our efforts to supply their resistance efforts from afar in the war's aftermath, Vietnam has been in a very similar economic and social boat to China.

Rainy-Day-Dream ago

tbh I respect the vietcongs, a bunch of tunnel digging mud farmers were consistently able to outfox the greatest military force on the planet with only their wits and bolt action rifles

Schreiber ago

tbh I respect the groids, a bunch of mudhut dwellers who were consistently able to get away committing violence on the greatest race on the planet with nothing but political correctness and diversity propaganda.

Octoclops ago

with only their wits and bolt action rifles

Well that and their allies back in America but yeah I see your point.

jervybingly ago

I've been to N. Vietnam, after the war, and basically there is no infrastructure to bomb, outside a few cities. That, Wastemoreland, and fucking Kissinger. Abrams could have won that war.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

They outwitted no one. We just had lame ass rules of engagement. It's been a theme.

Lame ass rules of engagement? How old are you? Have you ever been in a warzone? Do you have any clue what you're saying?

Keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

How old are you?

Older than your parents if you're average age. Where were you and what were you doing when Kennedy was shot?

TheDude2 ago

You should work for crowdstrike. This is how they blamed Russia.

isn't it because valdimir putin himself trained a bunch of russian bears as KGB leet haxzors and then airdropped with them onto the DNC so they could crack the code?

MasivGam3 ago

If they can't block Voat 100% nearly 100% of time, and they can't do that, then there is no sense in them even starting this thing that they can't finish. But, well, they just hate it and so find pleasure in doing this kind of petty mischief.

You know you're just giving them exactly what they want.

JoeMontana ago

I misspelled. Wanted to say dox instead of box. Good catch.

10675107? ago

In another reply they say they are doing it to catch me out for downvoating with alts or something. I'm not buying it. They seem butthurt about Voat potentilly moving off Windows for some reason.maybe its not as easy to track data if it's not on Azure.

10675377? ago

Same here. The shitposters were upset that I insulted Gabara and told him to not shitpost in /v/Linux

clamhurt_legbeard ago

On behalf of the shitposters, nobody cares if you insult gabara.

10676410? ago

Gabara cares.

Ohh how he cares.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

lol

i mean

yeah

10675436? ago

So they probably think I'm you then?

10675611? ago

Well I am talking to myself right now

lord_nougat ago

GET A ROOM YOU... um, one person!

JoeMontana ago

Interesting. Maybe they can't influence voting on linux as they can now?

10675175? ago

Not sure but the logic they are showing makes them dumb on the African level.

JoeMontana ago

I would love if going to linux fucks them over one way or the other. They have been trolling for too long on voat already. Not even in a funny or entertaining way.

10675227? ago

They are openly making accounts so they can vote manipulate on popular subs on Voat now. If @PuttItOut doesnt see this and address it then it will get worse and worse. They are doing this to drive users away from Voat.

Chiefpacman ago

He wont do anything. He seems fond of them.

CheckTheLogs ago

@PuttItOut doesn't have time for this. I looked through your history, you are always complaining that people are downvoting stuff you like or upvoting stuff you don't like. You folks in /v/Linux probably shouldn't have bragged about how much better Voat would be on Linux. I'm sure it will be exactly the same once PuttItOut figures out what Mick did and fixes it. You can't boast about something you like and then expect to be "shielded" when something unfortunately happens involving that something you like. You're mom isn't here.

Chiefpacman ago

You made this account to make that comment.

One more alt?

10675428? ago

So you are butthurt about Voat going on Linux? Lol ok then.

CheckTheLogs ago

No right now it's just the database, the part that's fucking up that's running on Linux. The rest is back on the stable C# code which would have to be windows unless it's mono or something.

10675498? ago

Look in the announcement thread the admin made. It's under attack.

CheckTheLogs ago

Yeah, and you posted before that. About nothing. Shitposting on voat. Wow, so new? Have you heard of SBBH before? You're really wasting my time.

10694298? ago

@heygeorge is this SBBH doing this?

heygeorge ago

Doing what? Although chances are the answer is no.

10694407? ago

Read the comment I replied to. Someone is trying to blame you for something. I thought it was Mick that ran your sub last I looked though, unless thats you. Could have been another sub though.

CheckTheLogs ago

He'll be back, he's just coming off A LOT of drugs right now. He does this every few months. Deletes his account, disappears for 3 weeks and then comes back and begs everyone to given them mod access back.

JoeMontana ago

They have driven away people for sure. A while ago one of them pm-d me that I was under the investigation for child porn. He did this on a mod account, while he thought I was a brand new conservative user. He did this to at least 20 other people. He deleted that account after I showed the screen shot in a thread on voat. He was right back on another account harassing people the next day though. I am disappointed by the lack of action from the board owner. Not to mention the pedo subs and the drugs selling subs. Voat isn't what it used to be anymore. Although I was pleasantly surprised to see that not everyone bought into the Vegas hoax.

10675484? ago

Well at the end of the day it's just a board on th net. If he doesn't wnt to address it then it will die off. I dont mind if they have an opionion but twhen they get 25 accounts to upvote that just because they can there is something wrong.

JoeMontana ago

He was joking around with the nameless in another thread. I bet he's a leftie and wishes the nazis and right wingers would fuck off and that's why he condones it.

I think I'll start posting some right wing stuff then. Or maybe not becuse I have a life to live and dont really give a fuck about them.

JoeMontana ago

We're all on our own ride. Sometimes roads can cross. Doesn't mean we all have to get in the same car.

Herzegovina? That sounds more like a venereal disease than a country.

voats4goats ago

No but its generally assumed that Sodomy and Gonorrhea originally came from the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. #CaptainObvious

Wasn't that a Beatles song? "Herzegovina, children at your feet...."

Bring help

Boris ago

It's a really beautiful place!

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Most beautiful girls in the world just to the east in Serbia.

Boytjie ago

Sorry, must disagree there. South Africa has the most beautiful girls.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

Be wary of googling 'south african women'. It's a descent into darkness.

There were some beautiful white women, but their close proximity to blacks is almost a certainty. If there are regions of SA with no blacks, let me know and I may change my opinion.

Tor1 ago

Hurts my Schuteptele to see the name Herzegovina without it's eternal prefacing Bosnia.

Do you know who is also from Bosnia? @Atko is. The plot thickens!

It's always the random comments that make me laugh.

SaneGoatiSwear ago

how's overtly censoring voat worse than reddit going, SJW fat shill?

redpilldessert ago

Trying to be reasonable here. The comment limit with negative CCP issue will be fixed soon. It was a temporary stop-gap measure until they find a better solution.

Solstiare ago

Go back to your auto-erotic buggery.

srayzie ago

Me too lol

JohnCStevenson ago

Well, well, well. I warned you what would happen if you continued to cater to the scum of America, PuttItOut. I warned you that your site would be attacked again and again, because people can't tolerate the bigotry that comes out of Voat. And look at that - your site has been attacked again. As long as you continue to lie with fleas such as white supremacists, homophobes, and transphobes , your site will go under again and again. People like me will make sure that your hateful website will never gain any traction, until it is off the Internet permanently. Of course, this could all go away if you decided to clean up the hatred on your website and join the resistance against Donald Trump. But I doubt what will happen.

Remember - you reap what you sow. We'll make sure of that.

RumpRangerRick ago

LOL.

Faggot.

Kregan ago

@JohnCStevenson you are a liberal coward that cannot appreciate the anti censorship that Voat offers in such times of encroachment on our civil liberties. I will accept all the bigotry of the world to know that censorship is not tolerated. I can think for myself and do not succumb to the threat of "bad words" Go defend the trannies and illegal immigrants while real people stand for things like the 1st amendment and liberty. You disgust me.

How about “islamophobes?” No love for islamophobes?

Sounds right up your alley, fascist coward moron.

Just wanted to point out that the dumbass misspelled "that" at the end of the paragraph. Be sure to correct that when using it in the future.

Yup that makes a great use case! Don't forget to also preserve the username in case it gets deleted:

Oh man, it works so well. We need more of this.

Yeah this makes good copypasta.

NeedleStack ago

Your bit isn't even entertaining anymore. You're worse than a cranky troll. You're downright boring.

I dunno, the "well, well, well" at the beginning got a chortle out of me this time.

Thank you for your opinion, Neighbor!

Here is your free turban, free falafel and copy of the Q'ran.

Now if you don't mind, please book a flight so that you can go back to Yemen. Faggot.

DependasaurusRex ago

Shhhh... we are trying to clean up the world a little.

HarveyHarveyJones ago

It would be interesting to know what other sites are being attacked. Wonder what information is out there that (((they))) want stopped.....

Also don't know if it matters. But i notice this post says there are no comments yet even though there are a few. Just fyi, case it matters.

Le_Squish ago

Seeing when it started, it seems to have been a pre-emptive measure...

Opieswife ago

If there is anything we can do to help just ask. In the meantime I don't mind you checking out my bits ;) I am married though so you can look but no touching.

Tsilent_Tsunami ago

It's not really touching if he uses the back of his hand.

Is is the people from vegas? Strange that it happened at the same time...

jervybingly ago

Maybe LV was the beginning. Watch out for sleeper cells of Israeli Defense Force.

10676016? ago

You can add yourself to the list mister member for 1 hour CCP -5

not_ctr ago

Why would a bunch of people from Vietnam be trying to find info about Vegas on voat ?

Clearly a DDOS.

Deku_Knight ago

I must agree, probably won't find any evidence but we should be on the lookout for this sort of thing in the future.

Flour ago

Was literally thinking the same thing. No real evidence to suggest, but the timing is quite nifty for suppressing us in discussion and spreading information about the mass shooting

sunshine702 ago

Question. Was pol hit as well around the same tme when they suggested FBI gun running gone wrong? That whole Multiple Incident Senario was dead on!
