    Skatz is apparently under a DDoS attack. . .

    Or at least the server its hosted on is. Which one of you rubes is behind this? It's entirely possible and likely that Skatz isn't the target here however. . .

    Probably someone DDoSing your shared hosting, but you probably already know that since you said "likely Skatz isn't the target".

    Tons of Chinese hackers keep brute-force-attacking my root password here, but it's aimed at everyone using my hosting company, not me personally. I keep blocking large IP ranges but new ones keep showing up. I can't just whitelist a few IPs because of all of my secret locations. I would end up blocking out myself.

    In fact, I actually did block out myself once, and had to tether to my cell phone to get back in and undo it.

    He decided to make a dick of himself here apparently.

    To be honest, ixwebhosting.com looks fairly ghetto.

    Tell Scooter to break out the wallet for something a bit more high-end.

    I mean, let's be serious here. It's based out of Columbus, Ohio. That's not exactly the Silicon Valley.

    Do you have a VPS? If so there is all stuff you can install and do to make your life easy: fail2ban or even use ssh keys and disable passwords altogether. I'm sure you know what you are doing but just throwing that out there.

    You're right, I should install fail2ban.

    My root PW is tough so I just figured they'd never get it.

    BFD is another one I've used that's easy to install and works flawlessly. Worth the 5 mins or so it takes to install imo

    What does this mean exactly? I know scooter is extremely anti Christian to the point of lunacy (pretty much liberal equivalent, for lack of a better term, of right wing extremist). Does this mean there is some link or just that they are hosted on the same server?
