Mit.edu is down
- agwa 14y agoMIT's name servers are all on their own network? Seriously? ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: mit.edu. 172800 IN NS bitsy.mit.edu. mit.edu. 172800 IN NS strawb.mit.edu. mit.edu. 172800 IN NS w20ns.mit.edu. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: bitsy.mit.edu. 172800 IN A 18.72.0.3 strawb.mit.edu. 172800 IN A 18.71.0.151 w20ns.mit.edu. 172800 IN A 18.70.0.160
- yskchu 14y agoIt's not that uncommon if they're multi-homed. Of course, I'm not saying that an additional external DNS won't be nice.
- shizcakes 14y agoMIT owns the entire 18. /8 subnet. [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4_address_blocks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4_addres...
- datums 14y agoRFC compliant dns
- david_shaw 14y agoIs this the result of some kind of organized DDoS (Anonymous or some other hacktivist group), or merely a coincidence given their recent exposure re: aaronsw?
- haldean 14y agoIt's back up now, so if it was a DDoS it was a pretty ineffectual one (time between post and this comment is 20 minutes).
- yskchu 14y agoStill down, from Asia (Taiwan) DNS resolution issue
- simontabor 14y agoW3.org still appears to be down https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5052503 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5052503

- simonster 14y agoStill down for me. (I can't access the website, my MIT email, or my box sitting on campus.) http://3down.mit.edu/ http://3down.mit.edu/ works but reports nothing.
- mayneack 14y agoAll .mit.edu domains I've tried appear down (stellar, my fraternity, etc)

- hsinxh 14y agoits still down and so is w3.org
- stordoff 14y agoStill down here (accessing from the UK in case that matters).
- pazimzadeh 14y agoStill down.

- kristofferR 14y agoNope, all the tweets have come after the sites were already down. Typical Anonymous/Lulzsec DDoS operations doesn't work like that, they need thousands of participants before it'll have any effect. If it was a public DDoS like the operations that took down DoJ about a year ago you would expect to see thousands of tweets about it and a lot of IRC activity.
- dmix 14y agoIt's also known that Anonymous can either use their own botnets or purchase access to botnets by the hour to conduct DDoS. http://jesterscourt.mil.nf/2012/09/27/anonymousqassam-pay-per-minute-ddos/ http://jesterscourt.mil.nf/2012/09/27/anonymousqassam-pay-pe... > So what is Multiboot.me? Well it’s a Pay-Per-Minute DDoS system that has been used by Anons (and others) to down US and other sites since LOIC got rumbled and DHN got pwned. In addition, not all DDoS involve LOIC style attacks. It can use other types of exploits.
- Posibyte 14y agoAccording to this[1], it's just networking issues. [1]: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5052903 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5052903
- rexreed 14y agoLooks like a DNS attack? Lack of name resolution vs. server response?
- rst 14y agoLack of both --- the nameservers are unreachable, but so is everything else. (MIT apparently hosts its own DNS, but attempting to ping internal servers by IP address, bypassing DNS, also fails.)
- kylemaxwell 14y agoTraceroute to web.mit.edu (previously 18.9.22.69) dies after a Level 3 router in Boston. This isn't just DNS, although both MIT.edu and DoJ.gov are returning NXDOMAIN right now. Justice.gov and USDoJ.gov are functioning normally, though.
- danielweber 14y agoI can't even ping them. MIT has huge pipes to the Internet. Someone has to be throwing a lot of bandwidth at them from very very close to choke them off, or has specifically attacked their routers.
- geofft 14y agoMIT's been having serious intermittent network problems over the past two weeks, although usually not a complete outage from all parts of the Internet (there were several points last week where it was reachable from Internet2 but not from a handful of residential ISPs). I have no knowledge here, but at this point I'd be more likely to credit some router somewhere sucking than Anonymous with doing anything.

- emereld 14y agoVery disappointed if it's DDoS. This doesn't feel like the time for it.
- lwf 14y agoHi there! We know MITnet is down, and we're pretty sure its an issue with BGP. We've been having issues periodically over the past few weeks, and this is almost certainly not the result of an attack, just network misconfiguration. -- Luke from MIT SIPB
- mayneack 14y agoConfusing timing eh?
- saifelse 14y agoIs there a particular reason why Google servers are still accessible from within MIT despite MITnet being down?
- lwf 14y agoGoogle peers directly with MIT, so connections there do not have to go to the public internet.
- fuckyoumit4 14y agoFuck you, shitbag.
- FUCK_MIT 14y agoMurderer.
- cjbprime 14y ago> Is there a particular reason why Google servers are still accessible from within MIT despite MITnet being down? Google and MIT have a network peering arrangement.
- fuckyoumit 14y agoYou have blood on your hands.

- jborden13 14y agoThe site is back up
- seleniumhi 14y agoI was very surprised to see that when mit.edu went away, we also lost emergency.mit.net.
