|
OK, so while I was sitting here on my day off of work (viva la fiesta!) I started to hear trinity grind away; apparently someone or a script started DOSing the server sending it all kinds of different URLs. Why, I don't know; it may have been a brute force password hack. Anyway, trinity now has some denial of service protections in place.
If you try to load pages too fast, your IP will be blocked for about 10 seconds.
Please let me know if anyone encounters this in normal usage. If so I can begin to tweak the timers.
The IP block that was DOSing trinity has been permanently blocked.
