Re: [tor-relays] Ongoing denial of service attack against Tor relays by leased botnet in America and PRC (Nobistech, Datashack, Limestone, HE, Pegtech, WholeSale Interent, and Psychz VPS nodes, etc)



How do you know if it's a DDOS attack rather than normal traffic?

I don't have much time right at the moment (sorry), and I don't outright
reject your observations. Maybe you are interested in our exit relay
statistics (cpu/memory/etc). We have US exits as well (axigy1/axigy2).
If there was something out of the ordinary happening to these servers, I
am sure the ISP would have told me (we are in daily contact via Instant
Messenger).
