Listen Anons, I do not think it was a DDOS problem and I do not think most are, I think it is an image server problem that is eating up resources and getting into a bad state. Even though proto went on and off. I have this page load from before, and from what I see, there is a cycle of two images that keep trying to load over and over again, which is probably the last image on this page for an ad, usually a picture of a dog. The image name is a long string but one starts with 622…jpg and the other one starts with 16e…jpg. It is an in an infinite loop of fails but those are requests that eat up resources to the image server. So when 8kun tries to load, it contacts the image server, but it is busy in a failed infinite loop. I have watched these pages load all the time and when the image server is not giving images, it is always because of failed images loading. Those images 622 and 16e jpegs are requesting a bad url also which is causing the failure:
This site can’t be reached
softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.softserve.
So mystery solved. Really not DDOS in the sense from outside attacks but bad image urls being requested over and over that is putting the image server, WebDav, into a locked single threaded state, eating up its resources, then when 8kun tries to speak to the image server it too becomes busy waiting for a proper response from the image server. So then it gets to the point that when we go to 8Kun the Proxy Server, NGINX, says, service is unavailable, because it detects a busy signals from the 8kun server.
Hope that makes sense.
