[PLUG] Web site URL points to localhost
I realized this afternoon that I've not checked Brian Krebs' blog for a few days so I tried to access www.krebsonsecurity.com. This pointed to localhost, not his web site. A web search revealed that yesterday his site suffered a massive DDoS attack, apparently from a IOT botnet. But, his site is supposedly up and running. So why can't I access it? When I ping the URL it returns localhost. 'host krebsonsecurity.com krebsonsecurity.com' tells me it has address 127.0.0.1. traceroute shows the same thing: 1 localhost (127.0.0.1) 0.016 ms 0.003 ms 0.003 ms I would appreciate someone explaining why I might be seeing these results and offer ideas how I might once again reach his web site.

Because that's what his nameserver is returning as his IP address. Not much you can do until that changes. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Could this be a result of the DDoS attack? Thanks, Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

His service provider (who was suffering the affects of the attack) unloaded him. Until he can get back up, your only recourse is to find caches of the site. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

I'm not surprised. I was able to get to his site this morning, but not this afternoon. -- Cathy L.

Checking site caches will not show me any articles he's published recently. I check his site each morning to learn who else has been hacked and whether I'm at risk.

https://web.archive.org/web/20160922124922/http://krebsonsecurity.com/ is the last internet archive has, from 2016/09/22 (the comments section on the article go to 09/21), so it's up to the last 24 hours or so.

[PLUG] Gkrellmd on RPi
Folks, I have been trying to run gkrellmd on some RPi's. But when I try to connect to the gkrellmd daemon, I get "broken server connection" I have installed gkrellmd on some other Linux machines here and I am able to connect to those and view the gkrellm output. Indeed I gan go from the RPi to the laptops/desktops and I can connect to the gkrellmd in all. Gkrellmd is running on the RPi's I can see it in TOP. I just can not connect to it. Any ideas? ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
