great, pjs got me on a rhyme so now i have to waste some time talking about how much we love not to see forces above come crashing down on our great place in which we've made our own base.
love ns we do oh, so why must you ruin it too?
dont hack our lovely forums or there be less quorum to decide the fate of the force that will become, NS source
Oh, what dark recesses of the mind Would create such a monster that in their heart they yearn To destroy that which others cherish.
The light of true men may yet shine through But first must mind and heart entwine To create in one what must be echoed A peace of self, to flow and grow.
Such peace will find a home in all minds, And in such growth, strengthen the resolve of all those True to the reasons of that to which they hold.
And by being such a thing, The NS community is a world all its own.

The traffic from his attempts was actually knocking down the server every three minutes (I have a software watchdog that was restarting it after each crash; I disabled the watchdog when I took the site down overnight). Unfortunately, I wasn't around at the time to notice the spike.
I think it took about 60 minutes for him to guess the password--it must have been chronically weak, possibly a dictionary word (I haven't asked and don't care, and I forwarded instructions to get a strong password to the offending account). I've recommended a cap to consecutive failed logins with a timed reset to address the problem; if a system only allows a few missed attempts per day, the time required to force it becomes impractical.
Since we're running the website on a single box, we're still subject to DDoS, but that's not going to change until there's economic incentive to scale up to multiple servers. We've gotten some offers for free hosting on other systems using a DNS round robin, but I think we want to keep things central for the time being.

It appears he didn't... but he was using a Russian dialup service, and I really think that what he did isn't worth the effort of attempting to pursue him there. There was little (arguably no) economic damage done--it was more of a prank than a malicious attack; I think he was bored. If he had decided to delete a chunk of the forum posts or published items from the dev or moderator forums, I'd feel differently.

Its not like some things can be helped.
* if admins say there pw is good, but its not, you will never know * the latest DDoS attack (DRDoS) is so freaking overpowered that I never saw anything not down by it. (no counter there aswell)
Also we indeed have nothing on the CM forums. After all, we all already know that CMs have building SOF/MT, right.
Thank you verymuch Cagey, that literally answered all my questions and more. Glad to hear you've thrown in some better countermeasures as well, we're lucky he didnt do any serious damage to the forums with the temporary powers he had.
