Information on the SourceHut outage

Friday January 12, 2024. 03:53 PM , from LWN.net
Users of SourceHut will have noticed that the site has been unreachable;
Drew DeVault has now posted a report on
what is happening (it's a distributed denial-of-service attack) and
what is being done to recover.

We deal with ordinary DDoS attacks in the normal course of
operations, and we are generally able to mitigate them on our
end. However, this is not an ordinary DDoS attack; the attacker
posesses considerable resources and is operating at a scale beyond
that which we have the means to mitigate ourselves. In response,
before we could do much ourselves to understand or mitigate the
problem, our upstream network provider null routed SourceHut
entirely, rendering both the internet at large, and SourceHut
staff, unable to reach our servers.
