The 0.1 second refresh issue was resolved first week of July iirc.

Delete the effected files and re-run RDJ.

FYI, I emailed a second time, nicely, and got a response after a few 
days.




Well, the subject on your first email was not "PDFInfo Access", so you 
get tossed aside and dealt with last ;)  

There is more than 1 person answering these requests... so if you dont 
have an answer in a day or so, just yell.

 A little misinformation tossed to spammers isn't bad here. 
I hear there's a mirror in Afghanistan too. And by all means.. when

it's loading each image on each page, then click the start button 
again. It's tricky, but if you do it just right, you can browse the 
whole site before the IDS blocks you. 


The rulesemporium site is great, and much thanks goes to the ninjas 
who operate it and write the rules, forcing spammers to read harry 
potter books.

Yes, the rulesemporium site _is_ great. As are the rules themselves. 
That's why I'd like to use my browser and read just one page. Right 
now all I get (and this is my first attempt to browse the site since 
yesterday) is "Waiting for www.rulesemporium.com...".


I'm not talking about rules_du_jour or sa-update or seeing how fast I 
can manually click stop or cycle through pages with my browser. I 
just want to go to the one page I have bookmarked. Isn't that the 
point of having a website? Allowing people to view your content? I'd 
say the DDOS is still very effective one way or another. My 
sympathies to the rulesemporium folks. I wish I could help, but I'm 
just some slob who wants to view their website.


Still waiting ... Mike



If your IP is blocked, for whatever reason, perhaps a proxy would help 
you until your IP is unblocked.

I bet the 'donate' link would help :-)



Hmm,  I doubt it, seeing that  SARE has received 3 donations in 2007,  
$90 all total  (yet 31k unique ips pull rules from the site every week.. 
ugh).  Anyone want to sell  us a VPS on a DDoS proof network for $90?   ;)


Maybe if we had a buck for every one of those IPs we could afford one.   
However, we're running on donated bandwidth/hardware from vr.org, and 
frontended by ddos mitigation services from prolexic.com... so really, 
I'm just  glad the sites comes up at all. Without those guys it would be 
long gone.


There has been discussion of taking down the public site, opening 
something new ( private access, invite only, acl by ip, etc), in hopes 
to avoid ddos and provide better services, more requent rule updates, 
and so on. We are trying our best to keep it alive, but there is 
only so much we can do with the limited time and resources we have.


Speaking about lacking of resources... we need more good people who want 
to join SARE and contribute with rules, scripts, masscheckers, etc...   
anyone interested should email [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can rarely get there (via a browser). So rarely the site is almost 
useless.



I've been having intermittent issues getting there from home for a
while.  Last time it happened, the site was down.  I still can't get
there


Hum.  I just tried again, and didn't have any problems this time either.
Guess I'm lucky.


Perhaps you are.  I get "500 Server closed connection without sending 
any data back" or "500 Can't connect to www.rulesemporium.com:80 
(connect: timeout)" at least once an hour out of three queries an hour.




Ok, so the word is that the telia link is saturated with traffic from 
the ddos yet..   I'd like some traceroutes to www.rulesemporium.com for 
anyone that is having problems.


The issue with the html found in rulesets (the "0.1 refresh" page) 
should be cleared up.  If anyone is seeing this, please let me know 
immediately.


Thanks,
