Thanks for the report.
I have a look and try to get a better monitoring on the system.

Just for information

This is the first time I have seen such a message on that site.

As far as I know, it has been under a sustained Denial of Service attack for several months; each time there is a fix applied, the denial attack uses some other technique.

Why such an attack?  Who can say?

Re: Unable to access on forums and wiki

Posted by Dave Fisher <wa...@apache.org>.

I have tightened up and separated php pooling so that wiki and forums are separated.

Trouble is caused by back pressure from the database. It turns out that forum session tables needed a specific index created and while they are cleaned up there is an overuse on the Hungarian forum which was causing contention.

I plan to setup blocking for aggressive spiders in the apache configuration tomorrow.

Here is the list:
    # Known aggressive bots
    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "Bytespider" bad_bot
    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "MJ12bot" bad_bot
    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "AhrefsBot" bad_bot
    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "SemrushBot" bad_bot

Let me know if you know others to add.

Let’s see what the next 24 hours brings.

Best,
Dave

We do have deny lists and can support manual changes to these filters.

For me just setting up a tarpit is a personal “tarpit”.

The tuning I am working on is starting to stop bad requests before they get to the php layer.

Last year I put aggressive IP blocking in place and we have a large deny list (and a small allowlist) built over time.

The latest set of trouble has included slow loris connections and that is mitigated. Otherwise we have the usual scanners trying phpBB style requests w/o knowing our unique organization.

I’ll need to revisit the deny list process (python code that counts IPs in access logs) to include looks in the error logs for specific errors which should show bad actors more quickly.

Re: Unable to access on forums and wiki

Today’s improvements.

1. I am now adding Bytedance’s spider from both the Forums and Wikis. I tracked requests from 17,000 IP addresses today. Bad, bad, Bytedance, be better. I feel like sending them an invoice.

2. I’ve tuned the Apache and php fpm workers to be balanced.

Response times seem to be in decent shape.

We are averaging about 100,000 requests an hour on across the 10 forums including 403 on denied requests.

Best,
Dave

A comment, not a criticism: it has been very slow - minutes for log-in - but one gets there in the end with patience! I leave a window logging in and visit some other site while waiting.

I appreciate the difficulties sys-admins have with these repeated attacks and the effort it requires for then to counteract such malice.

> I’ve used a new tool from ASF Infra to block a couple of data centers with bad connection requests.

It would be interesting to know how this is achieved,
One way is to use AS (autonomous system, very large network or group of networks with a single routing policy) blocking.
This can be achieved using local tools, and creating a blocklist, or hardware firewalls.

I would recommend blocking AS24940, AS16276, AS14061, AS51167, AS16509, AS8075, AS396982, AS136907.
You can generate lists using, bgpq4, to generate lists that you can use, supporting a wide output for hardware.
Or you can define output format, such as bgpq4 -F "%n\\n" AS24940.

From the above list, "bgpq4 -F "%n\\n" AS24940 AS16276 AS14061 AS16509 AS8075 AS396982 AS136907 > output" gives a file with 36 945 address. Even just using these tools to see where this traffic is coming from is helpful.
There are many autonomous systems that should be filtered, or monitored.

I also asked a question recently to Brave (Kit), and it replied with an answer from the public email archive in very recent history. It would be worth investigating where the traffic comes from, as what the intention of the connection.

If it is a web scraper, you could feed it to a tarpit, https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap-and-trick-ai-scrapers-that-ignore-robots-txt/. This has varying levels of success.

Otherwise, BGP filtering will allow you to get rid of a bunch of bad connections. Some should be outright blocked, others can be monitored for abuse, and rejected upon x request in a given time.

All the best.

I’ve used a new tool from ASF Infra to block a couple of data centers with bad connection requests.

I then restarted the services.

Re: Unable to access on forums and wiki

Posted by Dave Fisher <wa...@apache.org>.

I think that I have finally tuned the apache config properly. I’ve got a little more tuning to do, but unless there is trouble. I’m waiting until next week.

Dick - please test file uploads on Media Wiki.

Best,
Dave

I’ve used a new tool from ASF Infra to block a couple of data centers with bad connection requests.

I then restarted the services.

The site appears to be better.

Hi,

I checked and forum seems okay to me.

So it seems an issue with your connection. Does a vpn improve your speed?
