iCodes DOS attack

It appears iCodes is being hit massive amounts of traffic which is highly likely a DOS attack, the hosts have been working on the issue for the past few hours.

Thanks for letting us know.

Seems to be back now :-)

Yeah, fingers crossed to see if it will stay up this time.

The host provided us with some ip addresses and an iCodes username.

I've suspended the username until i can look further into that and looking into blocking the following ip addresses..

212.227.118.21
212.227.118.11
88.208.252.196

The traffic was at webservices.icodes.co.uk so i'm more thinking it's just down to a poorly coded website looping the feeds constantly rather than a dos attack, not looked into those ip addresses yet though.

From the phonecall i'm sure they said it was using 8gb of traffic but didn't I catch over what period of time this was used.. hour/min/second?
