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.
