It’s not lag mate you can actually see the missiles flying around in space all converge and hit at once. ---

They differ in size, method used, intensity, and duration. We are monitoring the health of our services around the clock and working with partners in adjusting our mitigation methods.

As I see it, probably because the Omega/Alpha status is recognized by the Authentification Server at some point, which might get impacted. ---

Connection is good in Alaska. Some of the error messages I was seeing are raising specters of the past. Back in 2009, before I ever met EVE, I was working as a contractor for a client I shall not name, and I developed a flexible SNMP facility that could connect through a port and set up a management facility according to a function passed to it. While double-checking the SNMP protocols I ran into a wonderful tutorial on SNMP, but it happened to be in a USPTO archive which ended with a business methods patent claim on any software simplifying SNMP. I did advise the client of the patent existence and I was directed to cease work on the software I had finished and tested. When the contract was done, I asked permission to release that facility into Free Software, and I was told I could do so as long as I made no mention of the client. I never released, but that doesn’t mean that other employees of the client did not. The source was in Python 2.6. It occurs to me that specific socket attacks might work very well with a port and a malicious attack function passed to the facility I wrote. I wrote it for passing testing functions to computers with a hook to pass results back to a central monitor, using any port, and there was even a facility to monitor ports. I had not reviewed the code in a while, but when I did… (Shudders). It would have been ideal to find the ports frequently used by compromising one windows EVE client somewhere. There was even an .msi to install python and the software in the packages I made, because my client used a lot of windows computers, roughly 2 million of them. I never wrote that software to be used in attacks, but in retrospect, it could have been used exactly for that. It was designed to work as a Net-SNMP sub-agent, but the specifics of contact were easily accessible and well-commented because the folk handling the Net-SNMP install for that client were talking about changing when I was coding. It means that ordinary system monitoring software could have been used with one compromised EVE client to design a very sophisticated attack on the ports EVE uses, and most of the work has been done. I am sure my efforts are not unique. Probably many automated sub-agent setups have been coded in various computer languages, but perhaps the hunt for attackers could be assisted by looking for SNMP traps? (Traps are network monitoring messages in SNMP lingo).
