And we're back

[coolsv650]

A Denial Of Service attack means basically someone of less then decent manners running a programme which floods a site and fills up it's capacity for doing anything - like running thousands of requests all at once, the server runs out of memory, bandwidth etc and no-one can basicallay use it. what we had was some B****rd hacked the site, loaded up an application which sent out a DOS attack on someone else. This is why I have had to take down the other functionality on the site as I am pretty sure that the forum software has enough security in it to stop this happening but there must have been a security hole in one of the other files that allowed the git to load up the malicious files.

Hope that this makes sense, in any case I have plugged the hole.

And just for the record, if I ever find the git that did it, he will be wearing his wedding tackle up his nose and his arms up his a*se.

When you've done with him. send him accross to me I'm always looking for novel "tow ropes" to pull my other surf

Then let me have a go. I need something soft to pad the front of my surf next time I go off road and hit something!!!

Does it really matter what happened?

Am I not entitled to be curious on this forum?
