yep yep it is indeed back online...

Hooray?

If you're willing to read between the lines of a Babelfish translation, yes, definitely, it's a fine site. Even a bad translation there is more understandable than many of the In-glitch posts we get here, n that incl00dz the annoyingly lazy l33t style d00d..

What he said.

Regards,

still looks pretty dead to me
too bad.. that was a nice site

Maybe the DDOS attacks resumed when everyone announced they were back. I did access the site several times this morning, but is it not available at the moment.

Regards,

Well, of course, the DDoS is still here, but despite it we are not going to close. The wasm was, is and will be!

Indood iz a fi sight itz waz noot up az thaz time,itz juzz a qoostionz

Well, that's clear.

Regards,

is it possible to get an offline version of the site?

I'm surprised you missed it, even without a translation

http://wasm.ru/docs/1/wasm-offline-18_01_2004.chm

yea I remember seeing them regularly putting up offline versions
thought it was completely shut down :P
Last time I tried it, there was a 2 lines message in russian.
(btw, the offline version doesn't include any files..)

I was thinking about something like Immortal Descendants (7meg ID-RIP.zip with everything)

thanks.

There is sth wrong with your connection. Offline version contains all the articles WITHOUT the files. No files. The resources are different here and in Russia. As I know both countries, I can compare. No any russian site will post files in the separate file. Doesn't make much sence.
As to the stability - we are sorry. I do realize it is not the best way of doing things, but DDoS is not stopping...

volodya,

Perhaps a mirror of wasm.ru would be a good idea? Or zipped site uploaded here?

Tom

Hello, Tom. Glad to hear you, old buddy.
Probably yes... But there are several difficulties.
1) The content may be prohibited in USA. Not that many cracks or warez but still...
2) DDoS will be switched to the mirror as well. It is personal...
3) I myself and three more people from wasm team must TRUST the mirror owners.
The last topic is the most serious one.

> DDoS will be switched to the mirror as well.

A Linux box with iptables (before Web server) can help a bit about DDoS.

> It is personal...

The best defence is counterattack by publishing some names

Tom

Tom, I'm not a newbie... Beleive me. And we are all aready tired of the endless advices about IP tables, DNS redirection, etc.. etc... etc...

The best defence is to find this mothefucker and put his balls into his ass.

In what way must you trust them, and in what way would this be important? Seems to me that keeping a copy of already public files can't really be abused in many ways even if you try?

Just curious...

The name of the site can be obused. This is the only thing I DO care about.
