PlanetZ forums - scopeusers.com

It could be, but it's just bandwidth abuse, and it's not targeting the primary domain (scopeusers.com), nor the host server (which houses many domains). Just forums.scopeusers.com on https, and in a way that causes the forum to run magnitudes slower than it should when not mitigated.

There isn't a single class A range that I can block that will stop this. That's why I have to take out class C's, and then Class B's when enough aggregate in the C range. Consider also that this has been going on since 2014.

Believe me, i wish I knew 'why', although I have said things about China ...

Most likely moving to full scanning prior to forums entry, contacting provider now (I didn't enable this even with the paid platform features because it requires help from hosting support and they are...challenging to communicate with after 3 buyouts). Playing wackamole has helped cut down on a lot ...

Still occasional blips of nonresponsiveness. Feedback from you guys on forum stability?

Waiting to see if I should still move to active protection, but you'll see that cloudflare page that checks you when you haven't been here in a while.

Cloudflare outage this morning, I'm glad I didn't do full DNS replacement and use their bot-scanning frontend. I am using paid features but we would have been down this morning anyway due to their outage. Silly internet....

Now none of the computers start, what next?

I've used this product on Mac & Win for a while, I've even subscribed. But they now force install a browser that will reset its settings to their search product(s), continuously try to install AVG through all products, and often leaves a single pixel version of it running in task manager for no ...

While traffic is overall reduces, bandwidth usage is still a bit high. However the connections that were not being released have largely been solved (for the moment). Please let me know if the board is unresponsive for you, and I'll implement pre-scanning before the forums are accessed. Right now I ...

And also with you

Also, as I’m familiar with the topic and the link, the issue was that people who are now vibecoding are vibecoding exploits and automating bot attacks. Which means things are going to continue to scale on the cyber security front as AI accelerates everything.

On the flipside, I ...

Also note we have entered a new era for attacks: https://www.anthropic.com/news/disrupting-AI-espionage

Also, you can check the number of people currently listed online, and look at the guests. Some portion of the attacks are establishing a full https connection (like .01% or less) and you'll see anywhere from 400-1200 listed as online. I reset the logs so it doesn't show in the graph for this year ...

Sequencer source > Midi Destination
Midi Source > Sequencer Destination

That will let you route midi from DAW to external devices (destination) and then from external into DAW. Make sure you don't keep them both cabled when recording AND leaving the track unmuted, or you will get a MIDI loop.

There are only 4 ip addresses for all 40 accounts. Its domain specific to the point where it’s only the forums subdomain, not even the root domain

I also still host some very old gaming forums that have been around just as long if not longer, they do not get any of this traffic. Same forum ...

Keep making music

Well, in the modern era even 'root' on a webserver means you're allocating a fixed amount of compute/memory/storage from a virtualized platform to a virtual machine that is the “web server”, and then using an account on that server to host a given domain. This machine hasn't been a single physical ...

The attacks aren't what you think, as they don't even 'read' the forums. The forum has captcha v3, a bot question on signup or guest form submission (people use this to contact the staff when they can't login or sign up etc), and other protections. The attacks that cause this issue are what are ...

That makes sense, as providing power that's not needed on modern consumer systems is wasteful from a design and weight (and thus cost) perspective. Thanks for sharing!
