Hello Max,

This is not one of my primary systems - I used to be more involved in the day-to-day of this particular server when the P2PF services (blog, wiki) resided there.

Apparently, this particular instance of the problem was triggered by a brute-force attack from two different IP addresses, one from the US and another from China. I can dig a bit further if you want.

Now I don't recall having performed the initial installation for www.peerproduction.net:80 nor surveys.peerproduction.net:80 (and certainly do not maintain them), so they don't appear to be hardened against this kind of attacks, and might even be vulnerable to known exploits - if no one else claims sysadmin rights on these hosts I can try and fit them on my schedule.

BTW these hosts do not show up on our systems monitoring service either, but I can add them easily. Just let me know who to notify in case of service interruption.

Cheers,

Sometimes server's go down and you need to reboot. I am not an expert so no
clue To the specifics.

I see. Thanks for the quick answer! Should javier know more? Who is the system
administrator of the server where jopp is hosted then?

A:  Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion.
Q:  Why is top-posting bad?
