I was just wondering what is the server's hardware?

 

 

HPE DL360 Gen9.

 

 

Nice rack! Where about's it hosted?

 

 

In Auckland.

they just scan the internet over and over

Today we had an even larger event - more than 1.4 million requests in less than 30 minutes. These came from addresses related to Microsoft Azure and used fake browser UA. I suspect someone using Azure instances for a DDoS. This was mitigated by blocking the ASN linked to Microsoft.

I don't get what the point is of attempting to take forums like this down. Are they banned users?

Actually the colours are wrong. If you look at the previous screenshot, most of the requests were for "/" which is the default page. Pages aren't cached.

 

If it was for cached resources the server wouldn't be affected at all...

 

I have now implemented some CPU throttling too.
