Re: [Operators] Reporting DDoS attack, the idiot responsible of the attack and the server range which the drones come from.

[Arsimael Inshan]

I don't think thats a good idea. Every open Jabber-Server can be used for this. IF you block all Open Servers, then you might cut yourself of the jabber network. And if everyone does this then we don't have a jabber network anymore, or it's getting an invite-only system. You shouldn't punish the servers (or the owners of those). They provide a free service, and I don't think everyone has the time to watch about how many users are registering accounts on them. We should ask the server-developers to implement a feature which allows us to configure how many messages are going to be sent to one muc/JID in an defined amount of time. Maybe 5 Messages/sec?

This is the list of servers is the following: jabber.fds-net.ru jabber.justlan.ru zsh.su vzljot.ru kdetalk.net jabber.nostra.by jabber.icequake.net logan-club.ru jabber.kirovnet.ru linux.pl movsoftware.com jaim.at jabber.xs4all.nl oneteam.im jabber.workaround.org stopicq.ru jabber.ofmycity.com tronet.ru jabbernet.dk zlug.asia jabber.tmkis.com jabber.typhon.net jabber.postel.org fritalk.org xmpp.us jabber.uruchie.org im.apinc.org jabber.belnet.be izhnet.org akl.lt jabber.psg.com jabnet.org jabber80.com jabber.crimea.ua kamp.pl jabber.dn.ua debianforum.de jabber.berlin.ccc.de jab.nazarovo-tel.ru jabber.murom.net jabber.meta.net.nz thesecure.biz jabber.netrusk.net alpha-labs.net jabberworld.net swissjabber.de scirus.benran.ru jwchat.org jabber.stream.uz eter.asia jabber.rdtc.ru draugr.de talkers.im jabber.lg.ua tsu.tmb.ru jabber.tanet.ru jabber.freenet.de While the above servers have been filtered from accessing components, jabberworld.net has been hex-listed. I do highly encourage the administrators of the servers into the list (if they're subscribed) to employ more rigid safety precautions regarding IBR and monitor more actively what happens in there, so that, excuse the frankness, we don't have to deal with this trash.
