Vault Changes

Filed under: Tools — rob @ 6:25 pm

The vault has now been integrated into part of the forum.. You’ll notice there are 4 sections at the moment.

Scripts

Misc

Databases

User Uploads

Members are now able to share things with the community. When you upload something into User Uploads it will only be viewable by you. These will then be approved and moved to the appropriate category.

There are a couple of volunteers that will help with this.

Please do not upload any copyrighted material as this will be deleted.

An interesting month.

Filed under: Tools — rob @ 1:02 am

Well march was an interesting month.

 As you know bluehatseo.com and robstool.com came under attack from massive DDOS attack.

 Its actually still under attack now, however the ips in the bot network have been isolated.

The size of the attack was 65 million page requests per day per server. It took some time to isloate the ips and set firewall rules to move them out of normal traffic.

Nows the time for us to refocus.

 We’re working on a user contributed vault, this will also revamp the current vault. Users will be able to upload things to share with the community. All non executeable things will be approved automatically.

 However, we will be looking for volunteers to test scripts / executeables that will be uploaded. If interested in volunteering for that send email to me robertmoore(-at-)robstool(-period-)com

Looking forward to getting things done in april!
