There is no way this is one person attacking me, this is some organisation or state, sending multiple terrabits per second to take me down... what have I done?

You have some competition with deep pockets.. could be any of them (Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, etc.)
you mean the attack to zap.stream?
should I update my picture and move zap stream over to the right side?
so sad.
Make Zap Stream Work Again!
you can send your own stream to nostr with this https://nostrudel.ninja/tools/publisher
I blame you Mar
Is this the reason why wss://relay.snort.social/ has been frequently offline lately?
I think they retired that name. I thought it moved to phoenix or something similar
@semisol have you seen this note?
no, why?
i was wondering if kieran is the only one, or if there are more nostr specific services involved
Ah. I experienced a year or two ago a 5Gbps DDoS against 1 of my shared personal/Nostr servers was mitigated.
I presume it was just some stray attack and not related to Nostr.land or Nostr Plebs.
Anyone I know that runs Nostr services is also not under similar attacks.
Ive been getting ddos for >100Gbps for the past few weeks
Damn..
You deserve a zap ddos you for all that you do.
Naive, but is there anything we as a community can do?
Damn that’s the one massive Odell fan. Sucks though, what about having temporary measurements, like slap cloudflare mitigation in between until the attack stops ? Remove it when done? Not sure what the alternative is except for upscaling the telco ladder.
He has that
How can we help? 🙏🏼🫡 anything we can do please let us know
Any specific networks/AS attacking or is it moving around?
If a state or its proxy, they don't like livestreams that they can't cut off, I suppose? As someone else said, what can we do to help?
You were really rude. Be nicer and they won’t even swat you!
cant we decentralize zap.stream?
Yes, thats what im supposed to be working on right now
Make people sign in with npub. It's the only way.
npubs can be generated indefinitely
WoT for uploading, not just random npub with no notes, follows, followers, zaps, ln address, whatever combo. Web of distrust for bad actors.
Start whitelisting with a payment lockout? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
What ip blocks is the traffic originating from?
The internet, all of them
I assume they don't like zap.stream
Or they’re just doing a job
big "just following orders" vibes.
Not sure what they don't like, they attack everything
i will say that you and all of your services have been attacked more than most. we could always blame china since they blocked snort ever so long ago.
I hate it man. Really enjoy streaming and it's the only service I ever used to do so. Let's see how it goes; an army moves on its stomach and the war rations don't last forever... 100/GBps attacks for this long costs something to someone.
DDoS for hire services are absolutely capable of that volume of traffic. Anyone willing and able to pay could be behind it. It costs less than you might guess.
So who has a history of getting busted for anti-social attacks against nostr and related services?
Thank you, come again
True
Who?
Is the problem your servers or your bandwidth? There are some ways to defend servers, but it's harder to defend incoming bandwidth
How does the site still load if your getting DDoS attacked? Is it just the streaming/CDN backend getting attacked?
frontend is on cloudflare
There are many well-funded bad actors who hate financial freedom, freedom of speech, and privacy. (In some places, it's actually illegal to criticize them, and even in America just naming certain of them can cause career-ruining "legal" or propaganda attacks.)
You're the man, that's what.
Can't zap, sad!
It's multiple yous from the future sending packets back in time to stop you.
Is this why I haven’t been able to upload to @npub1eaz6...rcgz lately?

Parker Lewis should be sus as hell
What are the chances these are politically motivated BDS looneys because of ScardustTV? Won't be the first time.
I'm looking into self hosting zap stream core. @Kieran
Because you're Irish
