DDoS attack on EveryDNS.net
Blogged on 2nd December 2006 at 00:55:00 in General
3:45 PM (EST), all 4 of EveryDNS.net's nameservers stopped responding. EveryDNS.net have all four of their nameservers in different geographical locations, on different networks.

Looking on Wikipedia and various other sites, it became apparent that this was a large scale DDoS attack on EveryDNS.net and not some major configuration error. Service currently appears to be very patchy.

hexstream.co.uk, 0wned.it and dnbsessions.co.uk all have their nameservers with EveryDNS.net so services won't be optimal at the moment (to say the least).

If anyone wants to offer me a 5th nameserver for the above domains to mitigate against this in the future, please get in touch Smiley

Did you get enough nameserver offers yet? If not, let me know, andy@strugglers.net or http://strugglers.net/wiki/User:Andy/Contact
