Ali,

I was relaxing wonderfully until I saw the domain was unresponsive - I almost fell asleep which is highly unusual during the day. Whatever is\was running is likely what caused the slow down by making a flood of requests to the webserver until the domain was finally blocked.

Back to chilling out until I get some log files.

If this happens again, please email me at wjckc79@xxxxxxxxx. Going to step away from @torios.org for awhile and go back to taking a load off.

You have 10 seconds to log off before I explore the server :P heheheh
Forget about everything and relax ... I too need to relax ... my head is about to explode, my shoulders are killing me and I no more feel my neck :'(

Let's log off :D

Everyone,

Earlier today the ToriOS.org was blocked by the firewall on our providers side. It was caused by mod_security which means some insecure script or plugin was\is operating on our domain and was attempted to access. I am awaiting the full log of the incident so I can track it down and prevent it from happening again. I am not aware of anything I have installed. Has any one with any level of access installed a script - say FTP, cpanel, WikiMedia, possibly even the forum? Either way, I will have the log files soon.

William



I thought you are offline :/

I was playing with the forums as sent earlier. Didn't do serious thing that might cause this but it seems the server is quite sensitive even for creating new forums.

I experienced great slowness and at some point, error message but now, it seems better. I just added Jack to the group I just created for our team. It was fast and didn't show any error.

Sorry if I caused some panic :P
Now, log off :D
